Yes! I do not have a tidy desk today! Thanks to the Creativity Boot Camp which started on Sunday I am doing a wee bit of arting every day. I'm not managing to get a piece finished every day what with time (or lack of) and having chosen paint as my medium... I'm not getting things dried but am loving the process and dabbling in a little something every day. I'll do another post later with what I've done so far... it might have dried by then!!
This is my desk today...
The felt pens are left over from the littlest monster having a play - the rest is me. I was playing with my watercolour crayons last night and today I've been going round the outlines with my pens.Don't forget - if you want to have a play along with the weekly phenomenon that is WOYWW make sure to link up with Julia so we can all find you.
I had a lovely surprise the other day. Look at this gorgeous reversible bag that arrived in the post. LL Jan made and sent it just for lil ol' me!
Look at Devon, thinking just because she's modelled for me that she can sneak my bag away before I'll notice! Hyuh right!
I am constantly surprised by the loveliness and generosity of people I have met through Blogland. Or in this case the person I met through a person I met on Blogland... did that make sense?? I met LL Jan (the LL stands for Lunch Lady and she makes the best chilli ever!) through Julia at one of the 2 Scrap Ladies events and she has been a constant cheerleader in my weight loss and an all round fabulous person that I'm lucky to have met. I still can't believe she did this and I love it to pieces, it will definitely get loads of love and use. And no - Devon you ain't getting it! Thank you Jan - and thank you Julia for having the best friends!
Right, quick cup of tea, then some work, a pigeon release and then I'll be back for a desk hop. Shall we say, oooh, lunchtime? Get the kettle on!
