Hello Everyone,
Another Wednesday, another What's On Your Workdesk, and it's so nearly a real big one too. One week to go to No.800! Want to know more about this weekly show and tell for crafters worldwide? Check out this post over on Julia's Stamping Ground for an explanation of what it's all about. Joining in, just pop over to Sarah's Craft Shed where you can now link your desky post. It's all great fun.
Here is, I hope, the very project to get me going again. It's a jar of challenges, the idea for which is based on an old class of Shimelle's, The 20 Project.
Materials are just the usual mix of goodies from my stash, some old, some new. I'm happy to report that some progress has been made in organising the craftroom. It's not perfect yet, but some improvement can be seen.
Yesterday was a beautiful day - one of the very few we've had this year. So when my grandson sent me a text to say it was so nice we could see the Isle of Arran clearly from the shore, I just had to pop down to check it out. Not only could Arran be seen but that wee dot in the far distance is the island of Ailsa Craig.
And finally, of course, it has to be my wee furry friend:
Best wishes from me to you all too. Have a wonderful week.
Interesting. I thought I recalled your blog being a Google-sign in to comment one and yet here it is with Open ID! YAY. I love seeing scrapbooking. Shimelle always had a knack for motivating folk. Your kitty is super sweet too, from one Cat Mom to another...
ReplyDeleteA quick hop before knitting at mine!
Happy WOYWW.

You've inspired me! I definitely want to get back to scrapbooking!

Happy WOYWW,

Sometimes a prompt is all you need to get going and that resulting page is beautiful, it looks great and makes some wonderful memories too. Look at your gorgeous view from the beach, what a glorious day. We haven’t had many of those either this year!

Hello Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely page you created. It's been years since I last did any scrapbooking - I was using the Project Life App and suddenly - bam - ten years went by. I was supposed to be doing the first year of my great nephew's life and he's now 8 - and has a little brother. Oops.... maybe I need to do less stitching and more other crafting.
Nice paper stack on your desk Elizabeth. I would have a flick and stop through su ch a pad and then using that paper would create something. Would that also work for motivation?
ReplyDeleteNot that you needed another idea, the jar full of prompts suffices and you have already done a lovely page from the nineties. Bet it brought a tear or two whilst doing it.
Well, that is a nice photo to cheer you, and what a lovely grandson to think of you by sending you a text to get you out of the house on a lovely day.
Siler is looking her beautiful self I see, she really is a good friend for you.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx
Hi Elizabeth, I understand chaos I have some of that myself and it doesn't do a lot for creativity. The challenge jar is a good idea, I have thought about it for journalling but just not used it yet. I love your wee friend she's so sweet. Have a good woyww. Hugs Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteA beautiful scrapbook page to capture your memories. I have never done scrapbooking. I look back on my kids scrapbooks when they collected tickets, pictures and allsorts to remind them of an event and I smile. I love the jar of challenge idea too. With so many challenges in life, we also need positive ones too, to lift us and move us forward. What a great picture, so clear, you've captured the day perfectly. there. Happy Woyww - Michelle #16 x
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Elizabeth, I didn't make it for last week but was determined to visit you first this week. So glad to see you've managed to get some crafting done in the chaos. Permission granted. I don't even have that excuse and my scrapping is quickly becoming nearly 1 year behind now! My back is so-so. It will never get "better" just more manageable some times that others. I'm going to try badminton tomorrow but haven't danced for 3 weeks now sadly. And yes eventually the GP responded after I called the surgery having waited 2 days....Anyway loving the papers on your desk and such a super page for a wonderful memory. Hugs BJ#11
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scrapbook, Elizabeth and I’m so glad it brings back such a happy memory.
ReplyDeleteThat view across to the Isles is stupendous!
My Bella sends purrs to your furry friend.
Take care and happy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteThe prompt idea is such a good idea! What a lovely memory - and loved the seascape!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW! Susan #3
Your scrapbook page is lovely - great memory! I like to use my jar of prompts sometimes too, I often work better when being "told" what to do! It adds to the challenge! Very cute kitty, giver her some skritches from me! Have a great week, Lindart #17
ReplyDeleteA scrapbook page of wonderful memories Elizabeth. Sorry to be so late visiting this week but I had great difficulty getting my computer to link up with the internet on Wednesday and a busy week at work. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW memories next week.
ReplyDeleterunning late for my WOYWW returns but WOW what an amazing view, to see the Islands, stunning. Also, love the jar of ideas, a great idea for those times when inspiration is just not front of mind
