  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.

Hello! I've been a bad girl, forgetting to post until it's too late, just very busy! And that I hadn't been in my art room for a few weeks. But I was determined to make today! And I had finished 2 pages in the 2 journals I'm working on. Here is my desk yesterday morning:

You can see a pike of UM stamps on the left, I bought them a couple of weeks ago from FB, they were Teesha Moore stamps. What I think happened was she bought a grab bag of stamps, took the ones she wanted, then sold the rest. There are 2 stamps in there that I like, but I will keep them all. I still have to put them in the appropriate binders.

I finished my page in the soul journal, where I pull an Oracle Card, then journal about it:

Apparently I am a Lightworker!

And I finished a page in my Mother's Soul Journey journal, where she chooses an Oracle Card from a different deck:

I've been working a bit outside, and learning about Crystals, reading a book called Let Your Spirit Guides Speak by Debra Landwehr Engle. And I've started another course on tapping for weight loss. So very busy! But I will pull another Oracle Card and get to work on my next journal page!

Inky is loving the summer weather, and Mittsy found a mouse for us on the kitchen counter! She's not allowed on the counters, so she was just sitting and staring at the counter in "mouse mode", a look we have come to know well! We got the mouse and set it free.

I will leave you with a photo of our "fountain". We needed something to hold the fountain in the middle of the birdbath, so I found these Buddahs at the Dollar Store. There are now 4 of them. Hubby calls them the "Bathing Buddahs"!

Have a wonderful week! Inky and Mittsy send purrs to all their cousins overseas! I'm off to play pickleball at noon today!

Happy June! another favourite month! The trees and bushes are flowering and sending their scent wafting on the breeze! We have big Lilacs, and a Weigela right beside our porch that smells incredible!

and our wacky Crab Apple right in front of our porch. The flowers drop so quickly, we only have a few days to enjoy!

Here is my desk this morning:

Not much on here! To the left you can see something that looks like piano keys. This is something I need to make to help me with learning my chords. It's by Mat Creedon called the "Easy Key". I just have to put it together then I can let you know if it is helping!

I started working on my Mom's next Spirit Journal page, all I had at first was the washi tape border. When she pulled her Oracle card it was about mirror images - so I added the faces.

What I had pre-done was perfect! Here is where I am now, in the thinking stage of what will happen next!

I'm also getting interested in Crystals, and how they work. Anyone here using crystals?

I started a course called Love Your (Imperfect) Letters by Willa Wanders. We started with 7 days of letter drills:

Inky couldn't help herself!

Here is what I'm working on now, finding different ways to make each letter:

This part is quite fun!

Thats it for me today, we have beautiful weather, not too hot, just right. I hope the heat has left you alone this past week!

It's been a strange week, time seems to be flying by! All of a sudden it's Wednesday again...

Here is my desk, not much on it, I had just finished the page in my journal.

Here are the Soul Journal pages I did this week:

I made these pages a week ago...

I drew my Oracle Card yesterday...

Amazing! I often make pages ahead, and they usually fit in with my ideas, but this one was right on! (read what's on the wave!)

Have a wonderful week, we are finally getting decent temperatures, but I understand that many of you are getting very high temperatures, so please stay cool and be safe!

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!
