WOYWW Again, already!

Hi there, can't believe it's wednesday already, where has the time gone.... well i've had a bit of a snoop around some desks already and will be looking at some more soon. Head over to http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ to take a peek.

Here is mine; not as tidy as last weeks but this is what's happening here now
I've started the first double page of my new book, close up to follow, My Tim Holtz Stamps are in the book on top of my tray of bits. (and if you look closely, there is a little suitcase that is for something that will be revealed tomorrow to all my followers......)
This is still in progress but so far I've used stamps and inks, the bird is a self adhesive felt  one which I saw ages ago, fell in love with and bought a pack of 3 and have never seen since (Boo Hoo) The little copper is a penny squashed and it says  "This above all; to thine own felf be true" Did this in Stratford at William Shakespeare's place; you know the things, pop in a penny and 50 p and turn the handle and out pops your altered penny!
This is the cover of the book, I posted this on monday I think but some of you will not of seen it and I am pretty pleased with it so showing it off again!
And lastly, my Timmy stamps are all bound in a little book

I made the cover by using a whole load of scrap metalised cards from stuff I had done and these were too nice to toss (besides; it took ages to do them in the first place!)

Anyway, that's my work desk today, good job you didn't see it yesterday, it was a MESS!
Have a great day, create and be blessed.

Those first two pages are lovely, so beautifully done. I am gradually getting seduced into the idea of doing a journal, but I am not sure I could live up to your standards.

Carole Campanile said...

Wow. I wish I had even a thimble full of your fabulous talent. your journal is gorgeous and I really love how the page turned out. Sorry you can't find any more of that black felt. Maybe having only a little will make those pages extra special. :0

Happy WOYWW!!

Ooh Neil that page is sublime..love the addition of the swathe of black felt image. Ah the penny squishing - I have that very one too - it's something I tell my child almost every day!

Ellie Knol said...

LOVE what I see, but to be honest; if I had a working place like yours, I would get crazy. LOL

I need space, on my desk... space to put away my stash. My room isn't much bigger, but when I shut the door nobody sees the mess, and I don't have to organize everything back into a cupboard after creating...
