WOYWW #486

Another Wednesday, time to peek at each others desks and projects! If you want to know what WOYWW is, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html  and all will be revealed!

Happy Fall everyone! It is definately fall here in Ontario, we are hoping some semblance of summer comes back for a little while anyway! 

Here is my desk this morning, still working on that journal page! (Got the date wrong - oh well- looked exactly the same yesterday!)

Here's my journal page, almost finished, added some hair and other things this week.  I am following "The Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Art Journal Class" by Nicole Bray. 

Put up some fall decorations (as one does with the change of seasons!) I used Artisto to make it "artistic". This is my coffee table.

My front door. . .

. . .and my mailbox

Inky says "meow" ( she's having fun scaring the pigeons!) and I say Have a lovely fall week!

Another Wednesday morning - they do come by quickly! I have been busy the past couple of days with an online tutorial called "The Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Art Journal Class" by Nicole Bray. So here is my messy desk today:

Here it is partially finished, I still have a ways to go. The colours should be more vibrant, but I don't have the expensive paints and paint pens she does. I probably should have used my Dylusions, but I didn't realize it would get so muddy. I'm sure by next Wednesday it will be finished. Not quite my style, too busy, too many layers! I will probably do another one when this one is done. I like the skull though!

I told you I would show the birthday card I made last week, but as usual, I put it in the envelope and sealed it before I remembered to take a pic. But I did take a pic of the envelope!

The card was bird-related too.

We have been having beautiful weather lately, but by the weekend things will cool down again, and we will be getting the tail end of the Hurricane Florence that devastated the Carolinas and Virginia. It was so sad to see this happening, Myrtle Beach is one of our favourite places. I hope everyone is OK, and that lives get back to normal soon. So sad for the lives that were lost, especially the children.

I thought I was doing so well with my tomatoes until it got really HOT, and a squirrel, or raccoon, broke off a big branch of my cherry tomato plant!

So I just stuck the branch into the tub on the porch where my lettuce had been.. .

 Wow-now bigger than the mother plant! Lots of flowers too! I guess it was just too hot in front of the porch, I will have to plant all my veggies on the porch next year. And I planted more lettuce there too.

Well, time to leave you, I will visit as many as I can next week (my work hours have gone crazy these past couple of weeks - I'm so tired!). Inky says "Meow" from her favourite chair, and I say "have a great week!"

Hello all my lovely deskers! Once again, my desk on Tuesday, but exactly the same on Wednesday morning. Here it is:

and to my right. . .

 A question about the Dylusions sprays - mine seem to have mostly stopped working, especially green and yellow, any tips? And my 2 1/2 inch punch has not only stopped working, it exploded.

New journal pages! This one from a week ago is finished

and this is my new one. I hated this one at first, but kept following the "inner voices", I like to think of them as the journal page telling me what to do, and this came out. Click to see the words! (I love it now!)

And Inky has been reluctant to go outside lately because the temperatures have dropped considerably, but they are now slowly warming up. Here she is contemplating pigeons. . .I say yes! Eat them up! But she has never killed a bird in her life, so her answer will probably be "nope"! I have no idea where these creatures have come from. . .

Anyway, we both wish you a wonderful week of craftiness!

Hello all! I have taken the advice from a few deskers and written this on Tuesday, since I will be giving my art journal page workshop tomorrow morning! But I can tell you, that my desk will not look any different than this on Wednesday morning:

I bought a couple of things with my Michael's 55% off coupon (of course the things I went in to get with the coupon were already on sale. . .), so I got this 7-G rub on set - it is printed on tissue paper (I've never seen this before) and I got a surprise inside!

sayings to cut up and use!

I also bought myself a new Tim Holtz pad of paper.

That's it for art today. I took a couple of pics of the garden on Sept 1 (you can see one in my journal on the desk) just to see the difference in seasons. The Perennial garden is looking a bit sad, but I love all the purple! I think I will plant some more phlox next year.

My birdbath has been raised a bit to pull it out of the jungle of nasturtiums, and looks better now.

And here is Inky, patiently waiting for me to take my pictures so we can go inside for morning treats!

That's it for me today, Inky says "Meow" and I say "have a great week!"
