What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?

Here goes with this week's snoop:

Front centre, Tilda's, coloured with first purchase of copics & glitter stickles.  Struggled with shading due to limited number, need to buy more:

Front middle - Copics - see I have added to them! Just need to put them to good use now:

My mini book.  Going to be all about me & my dreams.  Just covered the album so far and added some butterflies:

Today's view from the window:

New stash of magnolia stamps:

Thats it for this week folks, all short & sweet. Don't forget to pop over to Julia's blog to have a good old snoop at some other craft workspaces. 

Thanks for visiting, hugs x

Mini Book Progress

Forgot to show you these pages of the kids mini books yesterday as i had not taken photos.  Here are the February pages for Freya's book:

Sorry about some of the glare from the photo, just couldn't get a decent picture!  Here is the cover for Liam's mini book, really boy papers - dinosaurs!

Have been working on a mini book for me.  This is one thing I have never done before.  I have never scrapped a LO about me, its always been about the kids.  Bit aprehensive about it but determined to do this book and record this part of my life.  I am doing a word book.  I have covered all of the pages and started to add a few embellishments.  Not sure what direction I am going with the book just yet but I'm sure with time I will get there.

Right off to bed now to see if I can get some must needed sleep.  Hugs x

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday

Well its that time again when I share with blogland my messy desk. Here it is in all its glory:

To the right we have my craft tote, Martha Stewart punches, tools, papers & paper rubbish bin:

Back Centre is brad box, distress inks, water colour pencils:

Cente front is cutting mat & gel pens:

Back left is ribbon tub, cuttlebug bits, wooden letters & Freya's Hello Kitty toy:

As requested last week, the tubs contain wooden letters of different fonts and 1 tub of inks:

Front left is Liam's 2010 album (MME Stomp papers):

And far left is the Liam's Birthday album, still blank, well his birthday was only Saturday!:

My new copic collection which no doubt will be added to very soon:

And finally todays sunny sunny view through the window:

One last comment about my table as asked last week; doesn't really get de stashed very often, but please note we have a breakfast bar in the kitchen where we eat, trays on laps are not allowed in my house!

I had good intentions last night of showing you what else I had purchased on Monday but instead had a little health relapse and ended up at hospital.  Waiting now for the Dr and nurse to come and see me and home and discuss treatment.  Its somehting that I don't really what to discuss on here but sadly is having a huge impact of my life as of late.  So no work for me for the rest of the week and much rest required.  Will come back later today and finish telling you all about Mondays shopping.  In the meantime this is what I have been making this week:

Two more pages for freya's 2010 mini book:

Some Granny Squares - these are for Liam's blanket:

Some cards:

A LO for Liam's album, made with the never ending March Kit from Scrapagogo:

Thanks for visiting me today.  If you want to join in with WOYWW or just have a look at other crafters work spaces just pop over to the lovely Julia's blog and hop around blogland.

Freya's 2010 Mini Book

Here is the mini book that was on my desk last week. 

Trying out a more distressed look to this album, something that I have not done before.  Think I am happy with the cover.  Just need to add some ribbons to the binder rings when the album is completed:

I know which photo I am placing here and am just waiting for it from the printers.

Thanks for looking!
