After getting back from Boracay beach, I had to catch up on my projects and so my desk is quite busy today. Here is my altered book with the niche I cut out (Elizabeth's instructions for how to cut the niche here)...
Here's a book I bought with cute little fabric projects and the giveaway I won from Corey Moortgat, The Art of Personal Imagery.
with Corey's note to me.
And here is a necklace I won from Renee. Yes, I am happy (no wonder I love joining giveaways!)
Here is one of the sketches I drew while listening to some talks during the conference I attended in Boracay (multi-tasking!)
And the painting I am making to celebrate reaching an amazing 400 (well 408, now) followers! Not finished yet but as soon as it is, I will make my giveaway post. I am so grateful for each of my followers!
That's it for the State of the Desk. There's not much of the actual desk to see because it is so full. Although I hardly had time to visit desks last week, this week, I hope to visit more of the desks on this list.
And, if you missed my post about Boracay, where I was last week, you might want to take a peek at my pictures of this wonderful beach paradise.
At first I was having a terrible time leaving comments on blogs tonight. They didn't want to post. NOW I get "service unavailable for at least two times I try to visit. I'm geting really frustrated.
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note, I love the way your niche is coming along. It is SO well done. I also am in awe of that painting. Happy WOYWW from # 7.

ReplyDeleteI do believe your desk is busier looking than mine:-) Mine stays clean for a day or two and then it's right back to ten projects in motion. I love your sketch and your painting.
ReplyDeleteYour desk resembles mine at times!
ReplyDeleteI have to ask. How did you get the book pages glued together so you could cut out the niche?
