Whats on Your Workdesk? Wednesday 235#

Good morning, its that time again, and if you're not sure what I'm talking about visit Julias blog to see what I'm talking about. Another busy week, the usual stuff, work, sleep, work, sleep....... and if I'm lucky a bit of crafting in-between, I even managed to get an extra blog post in (you can see it here).

Anyway, here is my desk for this week


Just a few "caught in crystal" backgrounds waiting to be made into cards. The big box is full of black card blanks, started buying them in bulk as it works out a bit cheaper. Problem is where to put it all. Don't tell hubby but I've started to store stuff under the bed! He'll never notice!

Here is a close up of the work in progress:

Trying to be a bit more controlled with the alcohol inks on the backgrounds. The far one is supposed to be a landscape. Here is the first attempt:

Not as good as I had hoped (plus the photo is a bit blurry), the second one turned out a bit better after putting white card behind it

Really pleased how it turned out.

Just before I go for a nosey around the other desks, a quick extra piccie of Jess, because she saw the camera and instantly sat to pose, plus the fact she's just cute!


Bye for now

    Love the backgrounds! Had to laugh at the under the bed comment! Reminds me of a few years ago, when Tesco had various packs of toilet rolls on offer over a couple of months- Buy one get one free/ 2 for1/extra rolls free and so on. One thing I have from my Mother is Hoarder Syndrome! We both have enough consumables to last us a couple of years at least. Anyway, I could not pass on the toilet roll bargains every time we went in, and we ended up storing some under the bed. Hubby's comment? Toilet Rolls I'll live with, just don't let me find jars of coffee under there! Running late this week, playing catch-up now. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #57 xx
