 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 missed a couple of posts, not due to illness but to laziness 🙄. I haven't done much of anything in my art room for a couple of weeks. But this past weekend Jasper and her Mom came to visit, and Jasper and I spent time in my art room! She wanted to paint, and make cards, so that is what we did.

She made a few of these painted cards, then stamped and coloured in the stamped image. I didn't get  photo of them☹️ though. But on July 1st, Canada Day, we went to an art fair where there was an arts and crafts tent, and Jasper made a few crafts, then this painting

We chopped it up for cards when we got home and she made these for her Mom and Dad:

She wanted to use my Alice in Wonderland collection for her Dad's card!

Anyway, watching her have a day of art was so much fun

I did start a journal page last week, here is is:

journal page start

Hopefully I can finish it this week.

Well that's it for me today, Jasper is safely home with her Mom starting Summer Camp today. She was very excited, as she seems to be about so many things these days! 4 years old is such a wonderful year!

I will leave you with Mittsy and Inky today...

Have a wonderful summery week!

Hello! What a lovely spring day we are having here today! The leaves on the trees have finally popped out, and flowering trees and bushes are starting to flower!

I missed last week because hubby and I have taken up Pickleball and we had a lesson last Wednesday morning, but we are now playing Mondays and Thursdays so Wednesdays are free again. Here is my desk this morning:

It is just taking a short break until this afternoon...

I splurged last week on some Washi Tape that was on sale...

It is so beautiful! I now have a big box of Washi Tape. I keep them in colour groups on rings, I really like this way of storing them. They don't need to be removed from the rings to use them, This idea came from Sarah Gardner from Fodder School.

Here are the things I've been working on:

And a journal page:

This little "Inspiration Book" came with the Washi Tape:

So I was inspired to make it into a little collage journal...

And that's it for me this week! Here is a "weed" that grew up at the end of our driveway, I don't know where it came from, but is sure is pretty, and smells wonderful!

Google says it's a Prunus "Elvins" from Melbourne! Somehow it has made it's way to Canada...I hope everyone has a wonderful week, the kitties say "meow" to their cousins across the pond!

What a lovely day we are having today! Nice and sunny, not too cool or too warm, perfect! Lots of action on the street right now, one neighbor is getting trees cut down, another one getting their windows washed, and we are waiting for the big truck to take away all the junk from the garage!

And there's still more to take to the dump! Hopefully this will all be over by next week (crossing fingers). 

Well there's some good news, I was at my desk this week! The sad news is I was making Sympathy cards for two of my nieces who just lost their mother, less than a year after their father passed. 

(yes, I know the sentiment is crooked, I haven't stuck it down yet!)

Anyway, with the garage pretty much done, there's now gardening to get to, but I think I will have more time for art now, until my next clean-up project!

Here are the two beauties both in one picture - a rare sight!

They both say "meow!" and I hope all of you have a lovely week full of joy, creativity and happiness!

Hello! I'm very sorry I missed last week's anniversary, I was having computer problems :-(, but I do want to say how much I appreciate all of you every week, especially those who comment on my posts, it means a lot to me to have so many cyber-friends!

I haven't been at my desk much over the last few weeks with dealing with hubby, who is now out of hospital but still laid up, and my Spring Project - cleaning of the monsterous tip that is my garage. We have never been able to put a car in the garage, and it is my mission to be able to do just that. Especially for the winter months. So that has been taking up most of my free time.

The left side of my garage "before"

same side a couple of days later, lots more to do!

But you are here to see my desk this morning...

I did manage to make a birthday card for Jasper - 1 year old already!

The butterfly looks as if it's flying!

And a card for my daughter, Jasper's Mom, who's birthday is tomorrow:

That's it for my creativity over the last few weeks!

This is Mittsy and Inky first thing in the morning - I usually find them both sleeping in the bedroom window ledge, looking out over their domain...

Well, that's all for us today. Again, sorry I missed last week, couldn't be helped, but I am grateful for each and every one of you! Mittsy and Inky say "meow" and I say have a great week! Off to the garage...see you next week!

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentines Day (or Galentines Day as my single friends like to call it!) We had a lovely evening with music, dancing, homemade dinner, and candy! Anyway, here is my desk today, I was busy last week but I haven't been here at all this week. I think it's lonely!

Last week I made my mother's birthday card, and hubby's VDay card

I used Gelli Prints for the background of both. I also made a little Tag Book that I gave to my Mom for her birthday:

These were a set of tags that came with hubby's new winter coat, so I snatched them! I used my gelli prints for the backgrounds, and Tim Holtz's people, and some stamp embellishments I bought years ago. Also TH's words, some from the snarky set.

Last but not least, I managed to get a picture of Inky, laying in a most uncomfortable spot on top of my piano book on a small table beside the piano! Poor thing feels a bit lost in the winter!

Mittsy has found a new favourite spot down in the basement on a comfy chair in my hubby's office, I don't see her all day, I think she's hibernating!

Well, that's it for me, have a wonderful week, and "meow" from Mittsy and Inky!
