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

I guess I missed our 17th anniversary? Happy belated Anniversary to everyone! We just got back from a wild weekend celebrating Jasper's birthday. Wild time...exhausted, but we've had a day to recuperate! Here is some of the art I did this week:

Jasper and I made a Mermaid photo-op! Afterwards I made a Merman on the other side:

I also decorated the birthday cake, and face painted a lot of tiny faces!

We had the perfect day, and it ended with huge fireworks (it was Victoria Day), which scared poor Jasper and she had to go home. They were very close, VERY loud, and I certainly jumped at most of them! But she did enjoy this:

That's it for me today, we are off to play Pickleball! I wish everyone a happy belated anniversary!

Hello! I haven't been in my art room a lot this week, but here is my desk: 

I am working on my mother's journal page that I am doing for her Soul Journey Journal. 

It was Mother's Day last Sunday, so hubby got me my annual Mother's Day hanging baskets and porch flowers:

It's still so cold though, that we have to bring them inside at night! I love my porch flowers, always a sign of Spring, and that Summer is on the way!

Next weekend is my granddaughter Jasper's 5th birthday! It is a mermaid themed party, and I am to make the cake and do face painting. Pictures next week!

Well, that's it for me today, have a wonderful week!

I was very sad to hear of Neet's passing. I didn't know her in person, but she was always very kind with her comments and I enjoyed seeing her blog. Condolences to her family and friends😢

I am very late today! I had to help my Mom this morning, then it just slipped my mind, but I'm here now. Here is my desk this morning:

There is my Soul Journey Journal on the left, and I am now also making one for my Mom, on the right. I was working on it at 3am again last night when I couldn't sleep 🙁.

Here are the pages in my journal that I did this week:

This one has a little Tiger's Eye bead on the top corner, my favourite stone.

I thought I would show the beginnings of my Mom's journal, but I will have to ask permission to show the rest of it.

We have been enjoying watching the fox kits grow up two houses behind us. There are 4 or 5 of them, they move around so fast it's hard to count them. They are now big enough yesterday to start adventuring and came into our backyard - under Mama's watchful eye of course! They are growing so fast!

This was taken from our dining room window! Still quite chilly, but at least we are above 0°! When the sun comes out, so do the foxes!

Have a wonderful week everyone,

PS: Yes, Mittsy had a mouse cornered under my shoe! We caught it and let it outside away from the house. Good thing I'm not afraid of mice! He was pretty cute...🐭

Hello! It's a rainy Spring day today! I can see some beautiful yellow daffodils in front of the house across the street! They are in the sun, ours haven't bloomed yet. 

This is what I saw this morning as I was walking down the stairs:

I'm sure you all have figured it out!

Here is my desk this morning:

Working on a new page in my Self-Care journal, which I am now calling my Soul Journey Journal. I have started pulling an Oracle Card for each page. These cards are used for guidance, insight, and self-reflection. They help to contact with your higher self or spiritual guidance. There are thousands of different boxes of Oracle cards, but I only have 2. 

Here are the pages I have finished using the Oracle Cards: ("community" from last week was the first one I did)

It has been amazing how the cards seem to match the page I am doing, even though the page was started weeks ago!

Here are some pages I have started, but I haven't finished yet:

At this point I have no idea what these pages will be! I will probably have them done by next week.

Well, that's it for me, I hope everyone has a wonderful week, and best wishes to Neet to get better and better every day!

Hello! We are finally getting some Spring flowers, some Scilla, and some Daffodil and Tulip leaves coming up! Yay!! We did get some more snow last week ❄️but thankfully didn't last. It's still pretty chilly though. Last Friday was a wonderful day, sunny and hot! 20°! Then it got all cold again and snowed.

I didn't do a lot this week in my Art Room, but here is my desk this morning:

I went back to work on a page in my Self-Care Journal. I decided to do a page on "community", as that is important to me:

As usual, what I made a few weeks ago fits perfectly when I decide what to write on that page! The page with the rabbit will be another topic.

Well that's it for me today, short and sweet for a change! I hope everyone is enjoying the Spring days (or Fall days in Aussie)! Have a wonderful and creative week!

Finally, Spring has arrived! Lots of rain, and the temperature is going up a bit everyday. A Robin came and sat on the railing right in front of my window, and we had a little chat! She was very fat and happy!

Here is my desk this morning. I am preparing for a new journal page in my Self-Care Journal:

Here is the last journal page (completed at 3am this morning):

I made two birthday cards, on for my SIL, and one for his mother. His is first:

And hers...I found the stamp of her birthday date, and used that for inspiration:

You can see the stamp in the corner!
 

Well, that's it for me. I'm trying to teach Inky to step on a little "doorbell" to let us know when she wants in or out. So far, a bit slow going. I think it will take a long time! But once she's got the idea, I think it will be very helpful! And then I have to teach Mittsy...

Have a wonderful Spring Day!

Hi! I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend! In our house the Easter Bunny comes no matter who is home that year, so...

Of course, I wore the ears!

We had a bit of a surprise yesterday morning...

Inky and Mittsy were not impressed!

But you came here to see my desk this morning, so here it is...

My only art this week was my tiny journal, and I did that it the middle of the night early this morning!

I need to make a Birthday Card for my SIL, I will use some of these, I think...

And gold paper from the Easter Bunny! Well kind of, I got a giant ferrero rocher that was wrapped up in these nice big gold pieces!

Well, that's it for me today. Thankfully most of the snow from yesterday is gone! 

Just look at Inky's face...says it all!

She's happier today! Have a wonderful week! I can't wait for flowers🌸🌹🌷🌼, but they will probably be a few weeks away still.
