On my main floor craft desk this week is my 366 day (monthly) calendar. I need to decorate some pages and have already gotten out most of the materials I will use for this project. Also on my desk, I spot WOYWWendy trying to climb onto this week's rocking horse I'm getting ready to paint. She must want to keep the real wood look!Please leave your number when you visit. It was SO easy to find everyone who left their number last week. And I think I kept this post at least as short as or maybe shorter than last week, too!

OOoh aren't we just such goody two shoes?? Nice short and sweet posts!!
ReplyDeleteThe house is 9 years old... so not old at all really, but Pandy and Tom-Tom have ruined the carpets even though they have numerous scratch posts all over the house!! Little beggars are costing me $8000.00 to replace them all!! Eeeeek! The sink in our bathroom had a crack in it when we bought the house and I bought the replacement the week after we moved in... its taken this long to get the job done!!
You are right... its going to be a stressful few months but I should be used to it by now... shouldn't I?? LOL
You certainly look like you are having fun with the paints today... no splashing Wendy now!!
Ooo I love to see some inky stuff going on... remember that online book course i did with you.. someone admired my book and asked me to make them one for their birthday... hell do they know how long that took? No, but the best bit is, I don't and have never bought her a Birthday present - ha ha bless her she did try
ReplyDeleteFabulous looking pages, busy looking desk, Have a good week, Hugs May x x x Happy Easter No11

ReplyDeleteNice short post again! Mine was short last week and I got accused of rushing people off to the next entry!! Do you do your journal every day then, or catch up a few pages at a time?

Lol, nope the campfire food was last September in Northern Michigan. We've got a little self catering place because eating out three times a day gets expensive and I get fat!!!

I just finished my first art journal page and I'm really enjoying it. I'll be sharing it in a future post. I like the color combinations on your pages.

Hugs,

Hi Elizabeth, is WOYWWendy gonna' ride that horse? hee hee, now that would be quite the picture!! I got a new AB posted for lesson #5, actually made it last week but one of the deign principles applied so I hope you don't mind. waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteI think Wendy wants to get away from all the paint! SHE doesn't want to get paint all over herself! Clicked on the picture to find out what the other stuff were but the picture didn't get any bigger. Are those letter stamps in the back? :^) patsy #20

ReplyDeleteI kept mine short today too, and it felt really odd not to ramble... lol! Hope Julia is pleased with us...
ReplyDeleteLove today's rocking horse and your monthly calendar.

Hi Elizabeth, I'm impressed with you short post, must have been quite a challenge for you - LOL, I was expecting to have to page down and was surprised by the comments coming up! Must say it makes popping around desks MUCH easier, as do the numbers. BJ #58
ReplyDeleteOooh its looking very lovely and creative in your house today! Have a great Easter. Sunshine Girl No 57
ReplyDeleteIt's quite an art to keep the posts short but you nailed it...I've obviously got a lot to learn.
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks such a creative. Love Bluebeard ~ he looks so handsome ^..^

Well, didn't I muck things up! I was so stunned at being No 7 that I forgot this week's post was scheduled for 5 hours later.. DOH!!
ReplyDeleteSo, if you have time to return, you will see that the all-new, sparkly WOYWW 148 has appeared in a poof of fairy dust and magic. :)
Hugs, LLJ #7 xx
Loveliness about to happen on that page no doubt ;)

I'm not offended..lolol!! You've hit the nail slap bang on the head. I AM a fabric whore, junkie, addict, tart...all those sorts of words. My name is Lunch Lady Jan and I'm a fabricaholic. :)
ReplyDeleteThat book link made me chuckle - how often have I finished something in a blaze of glory only to realise that I should have attached piece C before piece A, or I should have attached the embellishments before sewing up the seams. You name it, I've learned the hard way.... :)
Hugs, LLJ #7 xx
So much creative goodness going on here, as usual...Happy Easter and spring from woyww #59
ReplyDeleteGreat desk, makes me want to get my paints out x. Famfa#23
ReplyDeleteI am so curious to see the finished page! Thanks for sharing! WOYWW #31
ReplyDeleteVery short and sweet-makes it easier to get through more desks. Love the inky goodness on your book. It looks almost watercolored. dani133
ReplyDeleteThis looks great!
ReplyDeletelots of loverliness to look at here... I love those old Colorwashes = wish they would bring the colours back again... happy easter! x
ReplyDeleteGreat pages. Such a cold snowy day here - I have been happily sewing and watching the snowflakes fall. Jo #68
ReplyDeleteLovely inky stuff going on on your desk this week, keeping it short means we have more time to 'play'.
ReplyDeletehappy easter , here chocci chocci (I haven't had any for nearly 7 weeks !)

Ok, so I've learned that preparation is a really good pay off...from you. And preparation is sure what your desk is about today, and I wonder which months you are planning to do...I can't believe tha t.ike me you find yourself two or three days Ito a month and have no calendar for it...that's a whole other skill!! And I spy alphabet stamps, go you!
ReplyDeleteLots of things to look at this week. Love the painty goings on in your book. I am not linked again this week. But wanted to check in with you. Enjoy the rest of the week. Hope all those nasty storms don't head your way!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are ready to get messy - yay!! Love those colorwashes the colours are so vibrant but I get in a real state with them. I don't know why Easter is pastel ether - why is Christmas red and green? Oh, I suppose that is holly or something. Thanks for popping by to see me, Cindy #67
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are ready for getting messy with those colorwashes. They sure stain your hands.
ReplyDeleteXX Rachel XX
I LIKE long posts lol! More interesting! Esp. if there are lots of piccies!!
ReplyDeleteLove your desk this week, Elizabeth - those subtle colours on your book are beautiful, and I'm sure the project will be stunning.
So sorry you've had such problems commenting. Blogger can be a real PAIN sometimes. Sometimes it takes me up to 20 attempts even to access a blog, and quite often the pictures won't load at all, with is so frustrating when you get the description but can't see what it's all about! I do wish they'd sort it out - it's been playing up for about 18 months now...
Thanks for your comment on my blog! I did a bit more on the choc-a-bloc project today but it's still only at the Polyfilla/gesso stage. It's now in the airing cupboard for another long protracted drying period, but hopefully soon there will be something to show for it!
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #25
Fun to see your work in progress! I don't even remember my number! Somewhere around 47? or 40-something!
ReplyDeleteJust the right amount for my eyes to read Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteYour work table sure does look like a fun place!
oxo
Looks like you pages are well on their way. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete#35
Just pondering a few things Elizabeth and was wondering what is the difference between an Altered Book and an Art Journal? Also is there something special or particular about a "collage" in an AB? Being a scrapbooker by heart, "doing a collage" seems quite alien to me and I guess I will always fall back into scrapping mode. Thanks for all your hard work with us on the course. I'm loving my book, it is very special to me. BJ
ReplyDeleteYour calender pages are looking good, I love the colours you are working with.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am a bit late this week!! Have a fab WOYWW and a lovely Easter, Luv Karen xx #173
What fabulous inky fun, great stuff x
ReplyDeleteSophie no.71
Just hopping by to check out your desk. A day late I know sorry... I love the look of your calendar background. What a cool idea for a calendar. Have a happy Easter
ReplyDeletePeggy #122
short and sweet - I love bright green and purple pink, must now go find the ab lesson and catch up... will link up when I've done some book work...
ReplyDeleteDxxx (80 but you're ahead of me and have been my way)
But, ....but......sometimes we need a bit longer post in order to show ...erm...progress..... or failing that...I guess we could do an update each day...yeh...that's it I guess..... daily updates....

Doesn't leaving that number make a difference? Mind you, you didn't leave yours. Tut Tut!
ReplyDeleteDid WOYWWendy manage to get on the horse - and more to the point did she manage to persuade you not to paint?
You write in a diary each day? That's some task.
I'm late this week, real life got in the way - Happy Easter anyway. Hugs, Neet #10
I'm late too, lol. Great pics, love the journal. Thanks for visiting, Happy WOYWW, Shaz #96
