WOYWW 739

 These days are coming just a wee bit too fast for me.  I've been organising some surprises for Chas for his upcoming 'zero birthday' and that has taken a lot of time up.  But boy have I enjoyed myself.  It's all secret for the time being and I. am as excited as I get at Christmas time.

My desk is in a state of being cleared up.  I need to get it back to some form of normality, if we ever have a normal desk.  Guess I mean 'tidy'.  Because next week is going to be a busy one with days out now and then I needed to get my journal done for a couple of weeks - not the pages that are open for you to see on my table - those are old ones.  Wouldn't be fair on the challenges I do to show what's coming up.

Here is my desk:

Those clear caddies come in two sizes and they are so useful.  It's surprising what you can get in them.  The top one, under the lid that has my Inktense Pencils in a blue holder, has 18 full sized ink pads inside it.  Six Versafine Claire and the rest are Elements from Lavinia.  You can see my Lavinia brushes between the two caddies.  At the back are all the punches that have been there for weeks now, they are waiting to be packed up in my case for my next class on the 12th.  If I move them I will not remember them all.

The white cream tea box just has some cardstock in and the red book at the far end contains all my passwords, written in cryptic form so if anyone finds iat they can't decipher what they are.

My table, that I have been working on has my Journal, Tim Holtz Snarky Comment book and what are left over of my Promarkers.  Here it is:

Some old journal pages.  My friend Wendy and I have a challenge between us.  We have a Snarky Comment to work to and whatever the challenge is at Art Journal Journey.  This month is not so easy to marry the two together but I'll try.  Sometimes it is not so obvious and so I write a little story to accompany.  My friend Wendy often says I don't write a story - I write a book!  I can't help it, I just get carried away.

Anyway, on the desk is the journal showing two old pages, my Promarker Box, some black markers for my lettering and the protective sleeve from a journal which I used to protect pages when painting others.  The Promarker Box is two old Felix boxes stuck together and covered in paper, something I used to do a lot of.

Well, that is it for today.  See you over at Julia's for the weekly meeting of the WOYWW'ers.  Join in if you want, right here.  You would be most welcome.

Just realised, I posted three birthday cards this morning and never took either a photo or scanned them.  Ah well, my loss.
