Well it is September (not entirely sure how that happened - a minute ago it was mid-summer !) and so even I have given in to the temptation of Christmas stash !But still on my catch up mission for my Journal 52 too !
On my desk this week are some new Christmas crafting goodies !! To the left there are Clarity stencils - the Christmas Lights wreath is fun !
Then some Chloe stamps on the right with a couple of Poinsettia dies behind them !
Not entirely sure what the cards will look like yet but it will have to wait a few weeks until I can have a good old mess about !
I did take the goodies down to Lynda's on Saturday and we played with texture paste and glitter ! I wasn't feeling too well with an upset tummy and Lynda was lovely looking out for me !
I did get 2 more Journal 52 pages done - the topic for this was "Inspired by A Book" - I have loved "The Secret Garden" since I was a girl.I took the photo of this garden door at Picton Castle at Easter because it made me think of the story - and used Dylusions stamps and my new Clarity funky foliage stamps to make the page.
Just wanted to share these photos from my garden tonight - the amazingly bright & summery Rudbeckia
Take care Ali x

ReplyDeleteHope the work trip to Poland goes well. Love the journal and the 'gratitude' crafting. Great to see so many Christmas goodies. Thanks for sharing your workspace today. Hazel, WOYWW, #34 x
ReplyDeleteTravel safe. Can't see a seed head now without thinking of you! Your Secret Garden page is fabulous. I recently listened to that story on line as avfree Audio book while I crafted. It was so nice to hear again as an adult. I picked up more of the subtle information that I glossed over as a kid.
ReplyDeleteHope the flight was on time! The garden looks fabulous - and so does the Secret Garden page! Helen 14

Happy WOYWW. Say hello to Poland for our employee, Greg. He is crazy and drives there when he goes back to see family. Lovely Xmas designs. I have not started yet, but cannot wait. Too many autumn birthdays first! We have just started to sort out our garden - only a year after moving in. I am becoming obsessive, but my health stops me doing as much as I would like. Ali x. #20
ReplyDeleteHi , I've linked into WOYWW for the first time and I'm happily snooping around.
ReplyDeleteBy now you will be in Poland. Hope it all goes well and that you'll be able to see some sights as well.
I love the poppies on your blog. Lovely. And the flowers in your garden.
The stamps on your desk look gorgeous. I've never seen those before. I'll be looking forward to see what you do with those.
Thank you for sharing your desk.
Happy WOYWW!
