WOYWW 137

When I'm going to be using paints, I usually decamp to the kitchen where spills can be more easily wiped up. So this morning, this is the sight that greeted me. I had been making a birthday card using metal tape and acrylic paints as Tim did in Tag No 6. Finished card on the left.

Front right, a packet of tissues. Have gone through several of these as I have a dreadful sniffy cold. I feel OK, but this is day seven and I am fed up sneezing and blowing my nose, and having red flaky skin at the side of my right nostril. Ugh ! The crumpled white paper in the middle is kitchen towel - not a used tissue !

Also on the table is a journal. When I am using paint, I usually smear the leftovers on to a journal page for future use as a background. I've now got pages and pages of backgrounds, so am hoping to actually finish them this year.

WOYWW 136

Wednesday is the day when everyone meets up at Julia's to see whose workdesks are on show.

On mine this week are some New Year cards I'm making to take along for the folks at our local Stamping Club. Plan to add the embellishments later today. Still a couple to make using that piece of Kraft Resist that has to be inked and sprayed some more. The smudges of white on the craft mat are from the painted grungeboard snowflakes and there are gooey bits from the Stickles.

To the left of my desk are these shelves which could do with a good old tidy up although surprisingly I do know where things are ! There are various boxes and sets of drawers containing embossing powders, scraps of card and embellishments, and there are loads of things I've collected for altering.

Happy Wednesday, everyone !
