Hello Everyone,
Happy What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday to you all!
Oh my, but it's hot here in Ardrossan! Too hot for comfort. I thought I'd spend the day in the garden yesterday but had to give up as the temperature rose to an uncomfortable high. Today looks as though it's going to be just as hot giving me no option but to stay in the craftroom where it's cool. Oh, what a shame!
This was what was on my desk yesterday. It's what's left of homemade kit no.9. That doesn't mean I've worked my way through nos.1-8 already. I'm just pulling them out of storage in no particular order. More fun that way. This kit had some Disney themed papers and sticker sheets in it which had me stumped for a while. The only time I've ever been to a Disney park was in 1984 and the photos from then were scrapped a long time ago.
One thing I've learned from following Shimelle's scrapbook videos, it is that it is possible to ignore the theme of a paper collection, in this case Echo Park's 'Magical Adventures', and adapt it for use with non-themed photos. On this page the photos are of Alan cuddling our great-niece way back in 2012. She won his heart from the first too. Her mum has reminded me of how his singing of a naughty ditty made Arihanna laugh much to my embarrassment! Happy days.
This is what my desk is like this morning. Silver has given it the once over and approved the next kit I'll be using. This one is no.116 and I had the foresight to label it with details of the contents, Echo Park's summer themed papers purchased from Hey Little Magpie in 2022. Just before we moved house.
I'm still struggling to sort out the garden after months of neglect but despite that the roses are in full bloom and this one is a real favourite with the bees. This is a rose I inherited with the garden and I've no idea what it's name is. It's beautiful whatever it's called.
You've already seen a pic of Silver today so I thought this week I'd introduce you to Glasgow's Scottie Dogs.
And finally the one with the cone, of course!
There's a total of 40 giant Scottie sculptures and 52 wee ones on this free art trail around Glasgow. The large Scotties were designed and painted by local artists, the wee ones were created by local schoolchildren. All in support of Maggie's a charity that provides support to people with cancer, their family and friends. They will be on show until 16th August and then the large ones will be auctioned off to raise funds for Maggie's. The wee ones will be returned to the schools.
Well, I think that's enough from me today. More than I intended but I hope you enjoyed those photos of the Scottie Dogs.
To see more creative workdesks pop over to Sarah's blog,
Sarah's Craft Shed. If you don't already do so, feel free to join in the fun and show us what's on your workdesk this Wednesday. You'll be made most welcome.
Have a great WOYWW day and a fabulous week everyone,
Take care everyone,
Elizabeth

Dashing around quick before the heat builds...
I LOVE the Scottie dogs! I can just about remember when the Cow parade burst on the scene many years ago, and love all the variations I've seen since then. This one is adorable and thanks for sharing it. Shimelle is a treasure for sure, and her very practical and sensible advice, paired with her artistic flair, has helped us all make fantastic layouts.Yours is beautiful!
Happy far, FAR too hot WOYWW

Aw what lovely Scottie dogs. I bet it brightens up the Glasgow streets perfectly. I enjoy seeing your LOs - you have lots of patience and each one is a treasure full of lovely memories I'm sure.x x Jo 🌈
You’re right about the patterns on the paper, it’s the colour that you see, not what the image is…very clever! I have really enjoyed seeing your LOs appear, you have a great touch and put things together so well. I loved seeing the Scottie dogs, these trails are a fantastic idea and these are so perfect for Glasgow! Thanks for sharing xx

Silver is quite the art critic, isn't she- LOL! I love all the Scottie sculptures you took pictures of. Happy WOYWW!
I think if you want to be in the garden you need to get up before 6.00 am Lol! My hubby wants to live in Lerwick the temp. is always a bit cooler there. Lovely journal page. We have roses in the garden that were there when we moved in and they are still doing well. I love the scotties, someone in our park has two and they are so sweet. Wishing you a very happy and cool woyww (hopefully) hugs Angela x8x
I’m loving your LOs…this one especially. The Scottie dogs are fab…I bet they make everyone smile. Stay cool and drink lots my little friend.

Ooh love those scottie dogs, in bristol we often have sculpture trails (gorilla's, Wallace and gromit etc), I love that people explore areas they wouldn't necessarily visit to spot them too. Thanks for visiting my desk too.

I think it goes without saying that I am really struggling with this heat. Even with the air-con 24/7 in my craft/bedroom the temp has climbed up to 24 degrees today and at that temperature I stop functioning at the best of times. The rest of the house is way hotter so I'm only leaving my room for food/drink and very quick bathroom breaks today. Roll on Sunday and hopefully a break in the weather. Keep saying to hubby we ought to move to Scotland due to the hot Summers here in the South but he won't hear of it. Wondering what the temperature is with you now. I'm dying here. I guess those are the only type of dogs i like - statues! Great that you are getting some scrapping done - I'm just done for today...
Hugs Bj#10
I can't stand the heat here either and we don't have air con at work. I have been dripping all day. I love that rose - and the Scotties are adorable, what a great trail for people to find them all. Happy scrapping and stay cool Helen #1
