Still time to take a photo of my desk so that I can join in on Julia's massive desk hop over at the Stamping Ground.
One of the many things I treated myself to on Sunday was Picket Fence Distress stain so I have been playing with that, making tags, and a mess of my fingers as well. Ended up with a couple of lovely ones and an 'altered' paper towel - have dried that and it's going in my altered Book stash. Also there - new owl stamp, (I love this one and can't wait to use it) couple of templates and moulds and some scrapbook paper. Not new this one but it's out because I have been making a birthday card - can't show it yet as there may be spies about. I bought the book by the late Sarah Lawrence, at a local wool shop - itching to get going with art doll brooches, and last but not least at the top right is the project from Saturday's class at which Jozarty was tutor and all round good egg - here's a closer look of mine and there are lots more examples on Jo's blog here.
The pink cards peeping out of the top are the calendar pages which I haven't finished yet - like I said, I'd been busy and just to prove it here are my inky/painty fingers in front of the tags I made.
I have enough work in progress bits to keep me going for at least 3 years but then that's what it's all about, having fun and creating.
See you over at Julia's.

Your desk is a joy to behold and I do like what you've done to transform the paper towel. The owl stamp is gorgeous - IndigoBlu have produced some very nice flora and fauna stamps recently. You seem to be making great progress with your AB ... I'm still reading up on Lesson 2 :( Hope you've had a good WOYWW. Elizabeth x #21
Thank you for your visit! Love the colours you've used on your creation! Lovely papers, and what a lovely idea! and !! I was up by 7! (made a cup of tea and then... couldn't move, I sort of seized up!) I often meet myself getting up as I go to bed! happy WOYWW

what a fabby project,loved the inky fingers,happy crafting,x
OK, I am finally here. Lots of problems staying connected to the internet, which caused me to have to shut my computer down and reboot. Needless to say, I'm not a really happy camper about it.
I was really surprised when I read that you and Jo made the same card. To me, they look SO MUCH different. What can I say? I am not much of a card maker. However, I LOVE the paper towel you "made."
Now I'm off to see your previous post. Looks like my name is in it (grin).
Ann, I can't find a comment ANYWHERE in the last six days about a horse in Trafalgar Square. So, I guess the answer is NO, I didn't see it (grin).
Fab projects, picket fence distress stain! I think I need it! Take care, enjoy this WOYWW, it's now Thursday afternoon & I'm still doing the snooping bit, all but in shifts! Zo xx 60
You certainly seem to have a lot of projects on the go at once. good way to keep the mojo working when you have all those different things to choose from. Have a good week. xx Maggie #8
Wonderful work, Ann! I was pretty sure I 'needed' some Distress Stains after the Trade Show last month but after seeing your samples I'm now CONVINCED I need them!!

What a wonderfully busy week but in a nice way, ie, you got some crafting done and spent some pennies too! I see you got some of the Memory Box dies on your shopping trip, love those, I'm currently drooling after their new releases. Love the project you made with Jo. Have a great weekend.

Hi there, sorry I didn't make it to your blog on WOYWW, but my eyes were crossing and my head was killing me after reading as many as I did! Was checking in to see how your progress is going with your AB book! Fun isn't it? waving high from the windy hills of North Carolina :)
That owl stamp is so nice. I recognize some lovely Memory Box Dies! You are going to have fun with those.
your desk looks great! Lots going on there.
Now I will need a special lesson on how to make one of those as I missed the workshop.
Great desk and lovely inky fingers.
Hugs, Neet x
