Images to colour and projects to start.
The bit of cardboard was from the pretty packaging of a lovely little plant given to me by a friend for my birthday. I took it apart to see if I could make a template from it. It was too large to scan, so I cut it in half and I thought that I would make it from 2 separate pieces of card. Should be fun!
However I won't be doing any of it today, for today I'm being taken on my birthday treat...a day at Glorious Goodwood! Last night we went to the most fabulous performance of 42nd Street at the Chichester Festival Theatre... tomorrow it will be business as usual!
I thought I would share a couple of things with you.
Firstly, and most excitingly, I've been asked to join the DT at the Creative Card Crew! How exciting is that, I feel really flattered!
Secondly, I thought I would show you my newly tidied shelf. This is just above face level immediately in front of me.
I used to keep my supply of Cats Eyes Inks on this shelf too, but was frequently knocking them off the shelf, only to have them land all over the place, splitting into the individual sections in the process. However I discovered that they fit neatly into one of the drawers of one of my Poundland purchases... little sets of three drawers, thus...almost made to measure. No more "Cats Eyes keep falling on my head".
Have a great day and hop over to Julia's (Link on sidebar) to see what everyone else is up to today. Last week I managed to get around to everyone, but it took me almost all week!
Love the tiny drawers you've got for your cats eyes :0)

Hi Chrissie - busy desk, everything is tidy, i have the same glass mat, busy desk, Happy WOYWW, thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteNice desk and all of those markers. My hand is too heavy to use any markers, need someone to teach me. I just tried to use one and ruined the image. Guess I will stick to my many colored pencils.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday hun and I bet that shelf doesnt stay that tidy for too long. great idea for the cats eyes though and how good is that of poundland to make them to fit so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSee you in a couple of weeks time.
