WOYWW 139

I'm still plowing (plow, plow, plow) through my heritage album, 

but a couple of weeks ago some kind blog-visitor said something along the lines like

"Why don't you take a break?" 

NOW WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT???

See, that's just one of the lovely things about blogging, 

is some kind soul will just mosey on over to 

take a peek into one's workspace and blurt out some  

PURE WISDOM.

So,  

I am doing one heritage page for every four or six non-heritage pages.

And that is what you are seeing on my workdesk.

A couple of non-heritage pages.

Sweet.

See all sorts of wonderful things happening at Julia's 

The Stamping Ground

YOU figure it out. :-)

Wordless Wednesday

Friday Foto on Tuesday

I have challenges I really like to do each week.  

They inspire this sitck-in-the-mud old brain of mine.

Without them I would sit staring at my computer monitor for hours on end going

duhhhhh

hhhh

Probably wouldn't even remember to eat.

One of those challenges I really love is Peggy's 

Friday Foto Collage

Wouldn't miss it.

Or at least I try not to.

This week, Peggy gave us a few images to choose from and I chose this one:

Don't know why, just did.

It morphed into this.

and I had a lovely time morphing it.

Elements used are by Finecrafted Designs, Amanda Fraijo-Tobin,  

Cottage Arts, Shadowhouse Creations and Skeletel Mess.

Thanks for stopping by, now go say HI to Peggy!

Tools

Automatically one thinks of hammers and drill and saws and all that sort of stuff, right?

I have all that stuff. But I only use them when I must.  

SO

I thought it was important to make my "tools" collage with tools I actually use 

even when there is not a flood of water coming from under the sink.

Thus:

 I've used elements by Beth Rimmer, Amanda Sok, Crowabout Studios, Cajoline, Syndee Nuckles, Tumblefish Studios, and Chere K Edwards

Collage Obsession

Regal

REGAL

no, not me, silly.

That's this week's theme at 

Take A Word

I made this first:

  and then thought to myself, "That's really quite irreverent."

so I then made this:

when I discovered this STUNNING image of the woman by Ginny Ciszek.

Here crown was googled, the rest of the elements are by

Amanda Fraijo-Tobin, Syndee Nuckles, Kim Jensen, Amanda Sok and Kristen Aagard.

Check it out!

Take A Word

My apologies to Queen Elizabeth.

Oo La La!

All Elements used are by Cajoline

The Three Muses

Tweet, Chirrup and Trill

The new challenge at 

The Order of the Opus Gluei

has been put out to us by the lovely Gini.

She has asked us to create something with 

Tweet, Chirrup and Trill 

in mind.

That could be,

birdhouses, birds, songs that make you happy (or sad), your new hat...

in other words, pretty much anything.

Gini is very accomodating.

I do hope you will join us.

We have SO much fun, you know.

Georgia O'keefe

The challenge at 

Soartful Challenges

is Georgia O'Keefe, OR sepia or dark tones, or floral themes or colours.

How can you NOT participate with such a vast array of choices?

I really hope you join us and create something wonderful!
If you're stuck for inspiration, please visit us at

Carla has posted some great images there for you!

Just because you dress us up,

doesn't mean you can take us anywhere, you know.

Hah! 

Sometimes I want to be just like her.

But I live alone.  sigh.

Colour Challenge #136-Going Green

The Colour Challenge this month at Gingersnap Creations

is

going green

This photo is of my other and her graduating class.  She learned how to be a mechanic for war-time purposes.  They look to me like the girls in the new hit how on TV: Bomb Girls 

Wow...we have no idea, do we..

Random Redhead Challenge #135

Gingersnap Creations 

has invited us to create something using one of our favorite designer papers.

I chose one by Sir Holtz.

OK, here's the thing though, just in case you rush out to buy this paper, thinking, Wow, 

That's AWE-SOME!

(hah, just kidding, I know you aren't thinking that)

I spritzed and stiched and painted and used gesso 

and dimensional plaster and stencils and 

probably some other assorted goodies to make the original paper 

even more original.

But it was one of my favorite papers before I started that journey 

and it's still one of my favorite papers now.

So that counts. 

lol

PLUS, the Graphics45 paper at the top left is another one of my Faves.  So that's double-favorites.

For the record, the folks in the photos are all relatives of mine.

But not the guy with the top hat.

Apparently my people don't wear top hats.  

No class, I guess.

I've spent the past couple of days unable to post or do anything with my blog.  Did I mention I hate Blogger?

Well, I do.

I finally installed Firefox, that seems to have fixed the problem.

Touch wood.

WOYWW?

What's that you say?

"A Mess!"

Nope.

Just organizing.

If you really want to see some clean and organized workdesks, you'll find them at

Julia's

not here.

lol
