 It's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! We are now sharing through Sarah, at Sarah's Craft Shed.

Hello! It's already the end of August! Summer is slipping away...

Here is my desk this morning. I did some tidying last week, it doesn't seem like much, and there's a lot more to do!


I have a little more room now than I did before. I also put all my smaller scraps into these ziploc re-usable bags by colour, and I have my larger pieces sorted by colour in large ziploc plastic envelopes.


That should be a bit more helpful as I used to have my colour scraps in clear boxes that were difficult to get at. These are right behind my chair. I still haven't gotten to the mess I showed you last week, that will hopefully happen this week!

I did manage to finish the last page of my Niagara Falls Trip: (there's the alien that Angela saw on my desk last week!)



If you look closely at the bottom photo you can see the alien standing behind us!

And I did manage one more page in my journal - I really like this one!


I can't seem to help myself, even in the middle of a tidy-up, I come across something that inspires me, and I just have to do it now!! In this case it was an unfinished paper doll that need a face!

Well, that's it for me today, Hubby and I are off this afternoon to check out a new place to play pickleball this winter, the place we've been playing in all summer has to revert back to ice for curling! Hubby curls, so it will just be me playing pickleball. Maybe by Spring I will be able to beat him!

Have a lovely week!

Hello from chilly Ontario! Only 12°C today - brrr! Someone needs to tell the weather that it's August!! The cats are in and out, not believing it could really be this cold!

Here is my desk this morning, I'm just starting the last journal page of my trip to Niagara Falls:


My art room is in a real mess, here is a small portion! I need to spend a day tidying!


I worked on my journal this week, catching up with my Niagara Falls trip:







Only one more day left to do! That's it for me today, short and sweet for a change! Inky and Mittsy say "meow" to all their furry cousins, have a great week!

I've been away, first to Niagara Falls, then to help my DD with Jasper while her hubby was away. So now I am back!

Here is my desk this morning:


I got myself a new mini-photo printer for the trip so I could add pictures to my journal. It worked very well! 

Here is my journal of the trip so far. It is in my Jaya Journal:


If you lift the flap with the eye on it there is a picture of us at the restaurant




This is the little pamphlet book behind the fox:


All the restaurants we ate at during the week! We also tried food at 3 food trucks, the tamales, samosas and Creole. The eggplant parmesan was incredible!

This is as far as I got so far, the rest next week!

When I was at my DD's house. I made a set of butterflies for Jasper to find when she got home from Summer Camp. They were made from a tutorial by Tiffany Sharpe. They are about 3 inches wide, so fairly big. Jasper loved them, and she taped them to the wall of her dining room, then the next day took them upstairs one at a time to stick them to the wall of her bedroom!



Here are a few pics from Niagara Falls:
We went to see the fireworks above the Falls on Saturday night. To get to the spot where we were going to watch, we had to go down a funicular, it had a lovely view from the top!

The fireworks were spectacular!

On Monday morning we went to our favourite breakfast place in Niagara Falls - The Flying Saucer Restaurant! This guy watched us eat...

It was a fun trip, a week with just my friend, then hubby and 3 other friends came on Friday, and we had a lovely weekend together! 

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer too! (or winter!)
