WOYWW - 142

Happy WOYWW to you all, hosted by the very hospitable Julia.  When you have finished here, and you are welcome to stay as long as you like (your coats will be kept warm for whenever you want them),  if you head back to Julia's Place, she will show you the way to many more friends.

This is the first of rather a lot of photos this week.  Sorry they are a little dark, but I forgot to take them when the sun showed itself briefly.  This is what I am currently working on, yet another UFO from my "projects to finish" box (I daren't show you that fir fear of causing mass heart attacks).  I seem to recall that it is a sheet from one of Joanna Sheen's cd's.. 

If I pull out a little, you can see more of my desk - fairly tidy today.  In fact the surface had to cleaner down as well to get rid of the residue of plaster and brick dust from putting up various things on the wall.  My Ottlite (I love that) means that most of my night time photos are still not needing flash.    You can see a couple of the cards I have done this week- but more of those later.

  Now you can see the clock that has been falling over on my desk for weeks - now it is hanging safely on the wall, and out of my way.  Just below it is the big cork board, and a chunky piece of wood holding that up.  That means that I can hang the heavier items from that, and just leave the lighter stuff for the board itself.  You would not believe the number of things I have found that I thought I had lost - three separate craft knives., and several pairs of scissors.  My list of dates is up there and my heat guns and rulers.  They now all have their own place and can be seen and found easily.  all that is to the left of my working desk proper.

Straight in front of where I sit is now this smaller board, half cork board and half white board.  You can also see my kitchen roll is now off my desk but still well in reach.  In fact, it is easier to get at than it was before.  Yet more space to fill on my desk.  I think all my tapes will still stay where they are unless I think of something better one of the days.

 This is one of the many sheets of decoupage I found in that projects box.  This will probably become the 1st birthday card for our youngest granddaughter next month.  I still need to do the insert so I really must find out which CD ROM it came from  and match it up properly.  It is a cross between decoupage and invertage, but it seems to work quite well.  For once, I used all the layers and put them together with silicone glue so it is easier to get the shaping for the creature.

 Another from the same box, already printed out from Debbi Moore.  I do rather like this CD and the images are so easy to glitz without going over the top, with the glue pen and a light dusting of Martha Stewart glitter. 
 I kept the front panels really plain, with just a few dots of glitter to catch the light. 




If you are still with me, I must also say that these cards and one or two others hidden from view for the moment were made using mainly bits and piece already partly put together.  It was all from things I already had, so I am sticking to my pledge to use things up, and make the most of what I already have.

Now, as you wander off to visit others, I may meet you again as we visit all our friends.  have a good week, and see you again soon.
