  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! 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.

Happy April! No April Fool's Jokes from me today! I'm just happy to see the end of snow, the presence of Robins on the lawn, and above 0 temperatures! Yippee!

Here is my desk this morning:

Working on my journals as always!

Here is my last journal page, BJ wins the prize for knowing what it was going to be!

Just recent people on this tree, only going to mine and my hubby's parents. But Jasper might be interested someday!

 

I got some new toys from Taperlogy! 

These very cool clear jars!

I think I have 4 of each, should last awhile!

And this very cool wild houses tape!

I have already used it on my Family Tree page, and my tiny journal page:

The big door is the date stamp, worked out well! This was from a magazine photo of a golf course, after I added the houses I noticed that the flag from the golf course sits perfectly at the top of one of the houses. The big door reminds of the Tardis! The butterfly is from a free package of butterflies from Taperlogy.

That's it for me, sorry to be so late, my pictures wouldn't transfer from my phone and I had to do a lot of fiddling!

Hello! I hope some of you are enjoying spring weather, we are still below 0, and there is still snow on the ground. I know there is some kind of heat wave in the states, hopefully it will find it's way to us!

Here is my busy desk this morning:

I'm working on another page in my self care journal, I wonder if you can guess what it is about?

Here is the page I worked on last week, I think it will be my favourite! I love dragons, and the 3 is my numerology number - the same as my granddaughter!

I haven't written anything yet on the last few pages.

I made a 70th wedding anniversary card for my next door neighbour's parents:

As you can see, I added a stamp from my roll of calendar stamps of their anniversary day, worked out great as it looks like they are gazing at the moon!

Before I go, just a photo of my lovely 91 year old Mom, we have lunch together every Saturday at our favourite Vietnamese restaurant!

That's it for me today, Happy Spring🌸🌸everyone!

I almost forgot! But thankfully I didn't.😅 Here we are, after enjoying lovely high temperatures, the snow almost gone, green grass showing, and St. Patrick's day hppens:

Aaaak!!!! Winter is not over yet...

Anyway, here is my very messy desk this morning:

I'm working on my Self-Care Journal, here is the page you see on my desk:

Looking ahead to Easter. The arched door came from a tag from Taperlogy, and I made it into a stencil as it was the perfect size!

I ordered some tape from Taperlogy, but my brain failed to process that there was a specific date on each stamp...

so already Jan, Feb and most of March are unusable, and I bought TWO of them! aargh! I will have to figure out a way to use them without the dates...! If only they made them with only the month and number, no day, no year, I could use them whenever.

 Hubby and I went to a concert last Sunday night called "The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight" , it was quite amazing! They did a bunch a heavy metal songs which I didn't know, not being a metalhead, but also some other songs, Abba, Hozier, Paint it Black, Thunderstruck...and a few short classical bits which were wonderful. Anyway, great time, very LOUD!! And the voices were incredible!

There were 15 trained classical musicians, not an electric guitar in sight! The drummer was really good, he did a fantastic solo. 

Well that's all for me, Inky and Mittsy are still waiting for spring...I wish everyone a wonderful creative week!

Hello! Today is a rainy day, meaning all the snow is going away! Yay! We can see our fence again! I missed last week 🫣I totally forgot it was Wednesday until the evening! Oh well...I remembered today!

Here is my desk this morning:

I'm trying to design my own stencils since I can't buy them anymore from the states. Apparently Canada is "overseas" and they can't send anything overseas. I feel so bad for the small businesses like Megan's who are suffering.😢.  Anyway, designing my own stencils will be fun, and learning how to cut them on my Cricut Joy will be fun.

I have almost finished (1 more page) my journal:

I framed two of my weavings, and gave one away for a birthday present (the blue one) and the other is hanging in my kitchen. I found the frames at a thrift shop, I think they turned out great!

I'm also still working on my tiny 3-inch journal:

I ordered some things from a new (to me) company called Taperology (based in Canada, I think shipped from China) and I was very pleasantly surprised at what I got!

Plus a freebie! A few days later I ordered 2 rolls of stamps (like the sample on the bag of houses), and got another freebie! So far I like this company!

I will leave you with this cute little pattern in the snow

Have a wonderful week, Inky and Mittsy are happy that the temperatures are above 0°!
