Week 471 is here and I am joining in the greatest little blog hop around blogland. You don't need to make anything for this one - you just show your desk to everyone - untidy works really well. As for a prize - well I can guarantee lots of friendship and what is better than that - oh, and fun too. Join in here.
I did promise last week I would show you one of the things I made at the Ministry of Mixology the other weekend - the book I did with Kate Crane. Kate beat me to it and posted on Facebook so you may already have seen hers which was fabulous. Here's mine:
Here are the various bits of it all spread out
It's a journal and you can see the crumpled pages underneath the circles (no they are not cd's) that I can journal on. Might use it for quotes, or for holiday notes, or stamp on them .... endless possibilities.
The other side (different stamping and stencilling)
But you came on here to look at my desk - although the journal above was on my desk for purposes of showing it to you - notice the scruffy mat I took the pictures on? Terrible of me but I have had back ache and could not start again.
I have been trying to make some atc's for a swap in memory of my friend Mary. She loved going to a place called Ventura so we tried to take her there each year when we went over, as our treat, also she always told me she had French blood in her and she had a bit of an affection with the country so I thought these images combined the two, well they did for me.
Hope I am not giving too much away but I don't think anyone involved in the swap comes on my blog. I have also offered to do a set (4 in a set) for a friend who is in hospital, I know she would have been amongst the first folks to sign up for this. Least I can do.
That is it for now, we will have to see what next week brings - hope it is more sunshine. Toodle Pip!
