on my desk…
Hello, my crafty friends! Yup, we are still on “house arrest” as I call it. Looks like it will be a while so I am continually making adjustments to make things as comfortable as possible for myself and my family. I can’t wait for the warm weather so we can spend more time outside. I thought I would share what I have been up to for the week as a good distraction since we last met.
For those of you that aren’t familiar with WOYWW (What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday), head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world where we get to snoop on other crafter’s desks.
On my desk, you see my journal. I started a new journal at the beginning of the month and am following along with daily journaling prompts to kick start my thoughts. We have one word each day and I have to say this is the best thing I have found to keep me journaling daily. I actually look forward to the new word each day.
I connected with some of my crafty friends online on Saturday to do another craft session. I ended up there for 3 hours. I worked on my traveler’s journal scrapbook.
I am loving that I can use up some of the millions of Project Life cards that I own from years ago. I took this one and cut it down and stamped my journaling on it.
I created the title, “This makes me smile” by cutting up a 3×4 project life card. I have to add the date and maybe some little embellies and then I am down with this spread.
Over the weekend, my husband and I started a puzzle. We worked on separate sections and then my lovely large cookie spatula came in handy moving the pieces into the main puzzle. I would love to say we finished it but no we stopped shortly after this picture. I like the idea of working on it over a course of time. We typically do the whole thing in one day but what’s the rush? We aren’t going anywhere!! <hee hee>
Yesterday I found these cute canvas bags that I bought over a year ago at Target on clearance. I intended on stamping them but they got pushed to the side. I’ve been inspired by all of you ladies that are working on your UFOs. So yesterday I grabbed some stamps and got to it.
Before I go I thought I would share the finished coloring page from last week. I still need to blend the background more but for now, I am calling it complete.
I hope you all are well and keeping your mind busy on fun things. I keep thinking of all the blessings in my life when I get down about this situation. Just the fact that we can communicate weekly at our snoop sessions, makes me smile. Stay well, my friends.
