What's on your Workdesk Wednesday


Here’s my craft space this morning.  I am trying to finish another project – this album is all about the houses we have lived in – actually only 4 in our 32 years of marriage!  In the old days we didn’t take photos of ‘everyday things’ very much, so there are lots of photos with the house and interior as a background, like the one of Lucy here sitting on her bed.  We decorated the little front bedroom for her in yellow with Winnie the Pooh border and duvet covers.  She moved into the much bigger back bedroom when she was a teenager and now the little bedroom is full of computers.  I think I have all the photos I need now, just want to tidy up and finish the journaling. 

The album is red American Crafts.  Red because that’s my colour for PLACES (a la Stacy Julian), and American Crafts, because I love the D ring versatility and the different sized and pocketed page protectors.  If you haven’t heard of Stacy Julian’s Library of Memories class, do check it out – here on Big Picture Classes!  It has been renamed for this year and revamped as Finding Photo Freedom, and alumni get to do it for free! YAY!  I have my photos pretty well organised in LOM style, it just needs tweaking here and there, so looking forward to following the prompts again and seeing what new nuggets she has come up with.

Beyond the album is my cricut machine, a box full of journaling spots, a little tin of flowers, my threading water punch (I use lots!) and some bling I picked up from eBay recently, thanks Laura! 

So I have now found out where to link these weekly posts, go and have a look over here, and maybe show us what you’ve got on your work desk this Wednesday!

Fun with self-portraits


Not bad eh?  That is, apart from the camera lead in the way!  Note to self, clear the table in front of you first!  Oh well, keep practising!
