What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Complete Disarray!


My excuse for the chaotic state of my desk is I just came back from a trip to Boston.  See the evidence of all the pamphlets I brought home (more about my trip in later posts)...


It may seem funny (my hubby thinks so), but on my shopping list was freezer paper, since I wanted to try out inkjet printing on fabric.  Then there are some books I bought in an Essex antique store for a dollar each (even the big one about drawing the human figure).  One of them is dated 1902!


 

Did you notice that I even brought home a shell from one of the stuffed clams we ate in Rockport, MA?  

I bought a new Canon Power Shot G12 camera and I hope to learn more about photography (are my pictures any better today?)...
 
  

And here is my giveaway painting.  If you would like a chance to win it, just leave a comment on this post before May 22 (if you haven't yet).  Please be sure to leave one comment for each entry you make.


And why in the world am I showing you my mess?  Because that's what we do on Wednesdays for "What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday"?  Come join the fun!

    I don't think I have seen your desk in such a state very often. What are you doing with the freezer paper?

    Oh great - I trust your trip was fabulous! I always buy freezer paper too -but not for anything nearly as ambitious as fabrics and inkjet combos!

    That trip looked productive for sure, all those books. Never heard of freezer paper, don't think we have it in the UK unless it goes under a different name. Enjoy woyww.

    Freezer paper is very expensive - over £10 a roll here in craft shops - don't know why. Is it expensive for you?
