Well I have a very sad desk this week, in fact you could say it's been abandoned.
I'm fed up with having a cold. I hate to moan but I've got another one. I really dont feel like crafting ... yes that's what I said!
Here's my desk anyway. Pop over to the stamping-ground. where head desk hoppper julia is in charge of lots of inspiring desks.
Anyway nothing interesting on my desk, the only thing there is the book I brought to use on Elizabeth's altered book tutorial. altered book lover blog
I didnt want to spend too much on it as it seems a shame to alter an expensive old book. I found this one in a charity shop..
Look at the title of the book . . .at only 60p it was 'just right'
You still have time to 'sign up' as the second lesson isn't until next week. It promises to be very interesting.
EDIT .... The first line in the book is "Now that it is all over, now that nothing can be altered or undone" . . . . I think it might be altered slightly LOL
I did manage to finish one project at the weekend;
A Christmas page in Erin scrapbook
Cute Huh?
Have you all heard about Tim's 12 tags I'm sure you have but if you haven't take a lookie here; 12 tags of 2012
Anyway I'm off to work now so I will see you later.
I feel so sorry for you with a cold. Touch wood I am cold free at the moment and that is unusual for me. Rest, hot drinks and more rest is all that you can do - not easy when you have to go to work though. Try it at the weekend and forget crafting (yep, I said it).
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to call in if you haven't already and check out my blog candy - it closes late tonight and I should be drawing tomorrow. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Neet 29
A book with that title makes me wonder. Is it a novel? Is it a book about money issues? What is it? ;-) Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI like the banana yellow feet on your desk, lol! What are they for then?? And Santa Baby is such a lovely LO, she's very cute :)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon..
Hugs, LLJ ~72 xx
sorry to hear you are sick again. Hope you are better soon! Cute LO! Hope you have a great week and thanks for sharing. Don't forget my blog candy is still up for grabs so drop by and leave a comment and make sure you are a follower. Vickie #64
ReplyDeleteI see your ready with the book, Me too!! Have a great week, Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteThink I may be joining you in the second cold in a month club but I'm determined not to give in to this one. Wish Sir Tim would develop an ink that zapped the germs at the same time as it inked your paper. Love the title of the book, have mine ready as well and the altered book club is one I don't mind being a member of.

beautiful page, your desk does miss you, i had the flu jab this year, and I have three really bad colds and sore throats - so I am not convinced it worked! Great workspace, Happy WOYWW 141, thank you for sharing, #52
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, I'm going to go check it out, and that first picture of your desk is too funny, cause it looks like you book is plugged up and ready to go! Enjoyed taking a peek at your desk, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteLove that Christmas page. Sorry to hear about the cold - hope you feel better soon and able to do some crafting (Hazel, WOYW #138) x
ReplyDeleteOoo lovely! Thanks for the peek! Kim
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the cold won't go away, this bad weather isn't helping either. I find it's best to go with the flow when I'm just not feeling it instead of trying to force myself to craft. Hope you're back to your desk soon though. Beautiful LO, really like the letters.

Looking forward to seeing the book stuff. Cute picture of Erin.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel right now as i have a dandy cold too. I love your layout especially the letters wow!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you are ill again. I understand the need to buy a book for altering--it has to be the right one, inexpensive and one that no one will miss after being altered. Funny how we are about that. That first photo almost makes it look like your book is plugged in.
ReplyDeleteThat book is so perfect for your class. The title makes you chuckle and those first sentences..hahaha...that book is made to be altered!
ReplyDeleteHope your cold feels better soon. I always find that I get draggy with a cold...we crafters can't afford the time to get draggy, can we!
Awww, that's an adorable layout and the photo of the baby is so charming!
ReplyDeleteJust popping in again, yes it was me who started out by knitting the socks inside out! Not my finest hour that's for sure, lol!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Brenda
Sorry to hear you don't feel like crafting hopefully visiting all the crafty spaces will give you some inspiration Have a great week, hope you feel better soon Lou x
ReplyDeleteohoo yes I have my book ready too, don't think I'd better show it as it was given to me, wouldn't want them to spy me covering it in paint and stuff! Thank you for my snoop and a lovely crafty week HaPpY wOyWw!!

Hope you're feeling a bit better soon. Great desk and fab book find! Take care, thanks for sharing & enjoy this WOYWW. Zo xx 86
ReplyDeletegreat LO ...and that book was meant to be altered by you. Hope you feel better soon ...colds really get you down and there is nothing you can do ...maybe a whiskey toddy ...or several ...then you will not be bothered you have a cold lolxx
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are feeling sick, I hate having a cold! I hope you are up to working on something soon. The layout you made is great!
ReplyDeleteThat book is perfect for altering, the name, the first line, it is all just too fabulous!
Sorry to be a day late, I spent all day yesterday on the phone dealing with a Valentine's Day gift that wasn't delivered!
Happy What's on Your Workdesk Thursday!

Super cute Christmas page! I will have to check out Tim's tags since alot of bloggers are commenting about them. dani28
ReplyDeleteCute scrapbooking page and I love the title of the book. Thanks for sharing your desk space.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting,
Erika.
You definitely have my sympathies with the never ending bugs this year - why are they lingering so?! VERY cute page. Tim Holtz is doing his QVC thing on Tuesday so I am very excited and will probably be one of the saddos staying up till the early hours to make sure I get the TSV!
ReplyDeleteSorry you haven't felt up to par. May your desk be a mess soon! Your book title, too funny! I am sure it will be well used for the money:)
ReplyDeleteSorry you've been unwell. Your layout is gorgeous and can't wait to see what you do with your book x
