WOYWW and warm up project for Life Book 2014

Welcome to Wednesday!  I am just not going to say I almost missed it again cause I am here on Wednesday this week!   WOYWW is a fun time to be had by all and if you are wondering why a bunch of men and women are showing off their crafting/art desk click on the link and you will know! Julia at Stamping Ground is the brain behind all the fun and puts it together each week!

Okay what we are all here for today...a view of my horrible messed up desk!  I joined the online class Life Book 2014 and the project you see on my desk is what was due for the first week...tsk, tsk, tsk...not to say that it is already the 3rd week and I am behind already.  There was a lot of videos and reading to be done in the first week and since I didn't start that till last week...well you see where I am going! 
A tour around my desk...the white 3 drawer box in the left corner holds top drawer a bunch of ribbons, bling etc still on cards or in packaging.  Drawer 2 is all Tim Holtz style ephemera ie muse tokens, tags, keys, pen nibs, etc.  Drawer 3 is Stickles glues and ink refills for the Distress Ink pads.   In front of it is my water color crayons, a jar that did hold my brushes until I tipped it upside down...On top is a spice rack that holds adhesives, jars of buttons etc....this could go on forever so just have a look see and if you have a question leave a comment!

Here is a better picture of the finished  warm up piece for the class.  Thank God Tam isn't grading on how fast we are getting lessons in as is just taking it on faith we are doing as we should!

fun play with Textures and Colors!
 I just want to remind folks of two classes this week...

The first is tomorrow and is a requested repeat of the class that was last Thursday for those who couldn't be there.  It is Graphic 45 Place in Time all occasion cards for the month of January.   There are 3 cards to be made and class will be from 6-8pm at Scrap That.

The second class is Saturday 10am-2pm where we will be making an oldie but goodie squash book.

Have a great week and I will try to make it around to every one's blog...giggle probably won't happen knowing my memory but if you leave me a comment I will guarantee I will come to visit you unless something horrible happens!  Have fun crafting this week!

  2. Yay my only comment on Gilwell, not sure my son would go again in the Winter, he was jolly cold despite the thermals! He has meetings some Summer 24 hour thing though.
    Had a big nosy round your desk here on my new tablet, I could zoom in really well. Love the spice rack for your adhesives and the whirlygig of course. Your page is gorgeous, love how you have written round the heart. BJ#2

  6. Here I am late in getting around, too much on my plate yesterday...LIFE!
    I am right there with you on being behind on journaling of any kind. LOL
    You "warm up" piece is just gorgeous, love the colors and textures.
    Wish I had more time to take these classes, they look divine, but as I said I'm already behind in what I am doing.
    Happy belated WOYWW

  7. Hi Vickie,
    You've been busy, haven't you! I think taking classes at your own pace is perfect. Don't pressure yourself to try to keep up. Just let it flow at your own speed! The classes look very fun.

    Happy belated WOYWW
    Peace, Kay (3)

  11. Hi Vickie, WOW, there's a lot going on there! But, as usual, I can't take my eyes off all your lovely colouring things! Love the background on the heart page. And I've seen those squash books only once before. I friend has one and I copied the template but, alas, that's as far as I have got with it. Oh, and I must get hold of some of that winter themed paper. I really need it :)
    Thanks for dropping by, and have a good week.

  12. It looks to me like you are REALLY ready for that new desk. I like the warmup exercise, though. It looks like you had fun making it.

    Sounds like these classes are fantastic, and just what people might want, especially that smash book. It looks fun, although there might be lots of measuring involved.

    Sorry to get here so late. But maybe it's a good thing since my number has changed from 16 to 13.

  13. Hi Vickie, Thanks for calling by at mine and for the get well wishes....I will get there but this head cold really has taken it out of me :-( I could do without it just now too.
    I love the projects you've got on show today. The colours you're using in the Life book are just perfect [and my favourites :-) ].
    Hugs,

  20. Oh my goodness! That desk of yours has almost taken on a life of its own. I giggle at the description of the jar that used to hold brushes until you tipped it upside down. Funny how that is. You have so much on your desk I'll bet it is fun to root around in there and see what's what--like Christmas. The journal page is quite nifty but the vintage Winter Cards are great! That will be a fun class as will the squash book. I haven't seen those around for awhile. An oldie but goodie!
