Woyww... #251

Come join in the fun.... I am participating in "WOYWW"  = What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. 
Visit Julia and her blog>>> here to find out more.


I was up real late last night working on my art journal which I left on my desk.
Loved how it turned out!
So... my art journal is on my desk along with a new Tim Holtz die (the doctor sign thingy one), which was on sale for $9.97 at JoAnn's and of course I just had to get it!
Then I have just a few pieces of cardstick that I am sending to a lovely crafty friend. She has this lovely heart die and she has allowed me to request her to cut some for me cause I just can't buy the die right now.
Here ya go.....
my craft desk for today:


So sorry for the glare. It was just past duck when I took it.

  1. A very romantic glow on your desk. Cool journal, love that top page.
    Swapping die cuts is a good idea, helps save some $$ for sure and a chance to play with some from a die you've been wanting.
    Thanks for visiting this week.

  4. I agree, your desk looks all moody and Film Noir! Your journal looks great...I'm not a paper crafter but even as a teenager, I never kept a diary or journal...I'd tell my secrets to the wind, not put them down on paper :-)
    Thanks for dropping by my blog, don't think we've met before? Anyway, I enjoyed reading your past few posts and completely agree with the list of things you're going to cut down on, like swaps etc, and concentrate on doing some old fashioned stuff. With you it's reading, with me...well, I need to start drawing again. I was always sketching and noodling about but there never seems to be time to do that much. Well, that's going to change!!

    1. Thank you Miss Jan for stopping by and your lovely comment. I decided if I was going to read, I might as well start with people's blogs along with books. Then also spend more time with my crafts . Gotta do what we enjoy, right?
      hugs!

  6. Hi Kimmer, thanks for visiting me, not seen you on here before so welcome to WOYWW, I do like your journal, I am so rubbish at that sort of thing so I do admire folks who can keep any kind of journal, but especially an Arty one.
    Bless you

    1. The journal, I don't journal near as much as I just fill it with art. I am kinda lazy about writing too much stuff down each day.
      thanks for stopping by!

  7. Hi Kimmer
    Would love to see what you do with that die, I have had it for a couple of years and haven't used it yet!!! Love your tabs on your journal too, did you cut them? Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy WOYWW.

  8. I have to agree with Krisha, you have a very romantic desk with all the lace and little teacups and things! The art journal is quite a culture shock in comparison to that, lol!! Yeah Christmas, sorry, I work at it on and off all year, then by Thanksgiving I'm putting my feet up and enjoying the season!

    Hugs

    1. The art journal. That was a bit daunting for me too.. then I watched a bunch of videos on YouTube and decided I gotta just do it. Now after doing a few pages, I like it! I hope you get going on yours, I would love to see what you do.

  12. I love your desk with those beautiful lace curtains! It all looks so pretty and inviting! Your journal looks fabulous and I love the little tabs you've put on the pages.

    Thanks for your visit and your nice comment. Do give Zentangle a go - it's brilliant fun and highly addictive, and there's so much you can do with it! I am having so much fun with the teabags too, and mixing the different art disciplines,. No end to the possibilities!

    Happy belated WOYWW,
