WOYWW 203....How time flies!

Hello everyone!  This week has crept up on me!   I want to say a big 'Thank You' to everyone that visited my blog and left such lovely comments.  I try to get around as many people as I can, but it is hard to get to everybody :-(.  

I had a great visit with my brother and it was hard to see him go.  I have been doing a few art journal pages and of course my desk is NEVER tidy these days hehe.  I get in a painting groove and I don't want to stop for anything and then I get my youngest daughter saying what's for tea Mum......gees Louise, I think,.... I have to stop for life!

Here is my weekly photo of  THE desk lol...


I have finally gotten all of the Dylusions Inks...yippee!!  Beautiful colours and so much fun to play with.  On Monday I had my kids art journal class and there ended up being 13!!!  I thought what have I gotten myself into.....but it was so much fun and they were a great bunch of girls and they want another class next holidays :-).  I am game......I think!  No it will be good and I have the adults class in just over a week and I hope that one goes as well as the first.



I finished these two pages the other day and I have two more on the go! 

I am going to pop over the Julia's at Stamping Ground to check out more desks from around the world and catch up with people that I now consider friends :-).   Ahhh just get my big cuppa ready and off I go!  Have a fantastic day xxx.

  6. Hi Janene, lovely array of Dylusional goodies on your desk and I can well imagine they are fun to work with. Not surprised your kids' art journal class was a hit but notice it was all girls that attended. If it wasn't for Neil, I'd believe guys don't craft :) Thanks for sharing. Have a great WOYWW and an enjoyable week. Elizabeth x #53

  7. Cor Blimey - all of the Dylusions. Lucky you, I have a few but not all of them. Such scrummy colours. Diane lives not far from me - about an hour away by car. Must check her workshops!
    Glad your class went well and good luck for the adult version.
    Hope brother comes back to see you soon.
    Hugs and thanks for visiting me earlier - Neet xx 4

  8. I am so pleased that you managed to have a great time with your brother and I understand how hard it was to see him go, I had that same feeling when I had to drive away from my sister.
    Your desk is looking good and I just love looking at all your inks, I just got four new ones in the post they are so lovely to use.
    Happy WOYWW #203 and thank you for sharing your desk with us today

  11. All those lovely colors of Dylusions. I haven't even bought one yet! (I'm not complaining, it's just that there are so many wonderful things to work with that I don't know which product to buy next, and that's a fun problem to have)!

    Happy WOYWW Kathi #105

  17. They doooo look like soldiers! All in a row...Fabulous pages, always really bright! and Yes, I AM a punch addict I do have quite a few of them! (More than my very small local shop!) the seahorses were done on printable acetate... the one I bought came with paper stuck down one side, so I printed on that first, and coloured them all (I had the seahorses faces both ways so two could be stuck together, I printed on the acetate, as soon as it came ut of the printer I threw embossing powder over it, and carefully heat set it, then stuck them all together! took ages!! Thank you for your visit! Happy WOYWW!

  18. Hi Janene, Thanks for stopping by earlier. The paintbrush stamp you asked about is by Stampendous.com Here's the link:
    http://www.stampendous.com/search?q=paint+brushes&.x=0&.y=0
    They carried it at my local store but they do have it at the website for a penny cheaper than I paid for it. lol! ;) Really glad the Oprah quote came at a good time! Thinking about you. Hugs, Sue

  19. Going by all those little bottles, looks like you have the new colours as well. I only have the original 12. Love your journal pages.

    As for scrapping, I have been putting all my photos in albums since I was 17yrs having extracted a selection from my Mother/Father/Step Father's cardboard box of years beforehand.

    I got into scrapping in 2005 and backtracked to Dec 2003 when I got my digital camera as I hadn't printed any off for albums, to I guess nearly 10 years of scrapping albums about 600 pages..... GOSH!

    Thanks for visiting me yesterday, I'm a bit behind answering BJ#31

  24. You are so sweet to even try to make it around to all the desks...I think the most I've ever made it to was like 30 or so! lol :) But I do return visits and thank you for leaving me a comment on my desk already. Your desk has even more to see than mine with all those fab Dylusions on there! I'm glad your childrens class went well and I hope your adults class does too. Have a great rest of WOYWW! #135~Deeyll
