WOYWW #867

 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.

I have played in my art room several times this week, and my desk this morning still looks like this!

Amazing! I don't know how long I can keep this up, and it's a little boring...

I did some "tweaking" of my desk arrangement...



We were purging our many cups the other day, and so I brought my favourites that DD had brought from the many places she's been to into my art room. They were perfect for my Posca Pens and other paint pens! And they fit perfectly on my large lazy susan! So I think ths arrangement will do very well, and I can still enjoy my favourite cups!

But here is what I have been working on. Megan Quinlan has a free You Tube Self-Care Journal tutorial that I have been following (only 3 videos so far). 



Making words and phrases with her stencils





I made the journal, the first page, and the next two pages where I write the things that give me joy. Already these 2 pages give me joy! My DD gave me some Washi Tape for Christmas, one was very shiny so I thought I would use it, but it turned out that it was blobby shapes instead! Very cool, I've never seen that before! So I will be adding to this journal, also I want to make another "regular" journal.


I got $50 (£26.77) in Gift cards for Christmas and my birthday for Michael's (a big nationwide craft store, the only one we have here), and of course, spent ot all at once. It doesn't go very far! But I got a 12x12 scoring board (something I've needed for awhile), some new brushes, some house stamps, and 3 white pens.


These house stamps are so CUTE! I think I will do something with them today!

Yes, we are finally at the end, and here is a photo of Mittsy and Inky playing. Yes, only playing, even though it can sometimes be alarming, they never hurt each other!


Well, that's it for today, Mittsy. Inky and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Love the use of the old mugs what a great idea. The self care journal sounds super and love the house stamps. Hugs Bj#3

I have so many mugs... but running out of floor space to put anything else so may have to give that a miss.... your very clean and tidy desk is crying out to be messed up!! Happy WOYWWHelen #1
