πππ€Έ♀️ Goooood Morning π€ another week has fairly whizzed by π₯° and it's time for another look at what's on my workdesk π linking up to the lovely Julia who hosts WOYWW over at the
If you'd like to join in or find out more ... then please hop on over.
πMy days have been filled up,overflowing creating from my heart π nothing planned,letting my hands and soul guide me π₯°
Here's my workdesk π rainy morning here but everything outside is looking green and lush π³πΏ
Still chaotic it is π creating samples. I was working into the wee hours last night on a Junk Journal and what I'll be doing tooooday ... pointless tidying it π as everything is toooo hand ... honest ... a closer look below π
Sooooo what else have I been up tooooo?
Shhhhh ... sneaky peeeek below, dinnae tell the The π Chieftain!
π¨ Painting the wee ones that dropped out π after so loooong drawing ... it takes me a while to find my groove painting again ... nerves kick in at the sheer whiteness of the paper before the first stroke of paint!
π¨ Here's the cover on my junk journal, gathering odd bits and bobs of paper, snuggling them up, painting, stamping, sticking, cutting, snipping, layering π€Έ♀️π¨ I have messy hands along with a happpppy heart and soul π€Έ♀️π¨π❤ bringing joy and peace as the seconds slip away creating samples,no thoughts in my head ... listening toooo a mix of Country Music πΆπ΅
𧡠Finishing up a few more of these inbetween πusing the words from the sets ... I loooooove words π₯°ππ and wanted to make them shine ⭐
π₯°Ohhhhh and I've started my ATC's for WOYWW 13th Anniversary swap ... the theme is connection ... I'm exciteeeeeed, idea set in my head and running with it ... you don't have to be a part of WOYWW to take part, just hop along to Julia's to find out more HERE.
πWhatever you have planned for the week ... I wish you much love and light in your days, with joy sprinkled throughout along with the warmest of Scottish hugs.
⭐πThank yoooou so much for taking the time to stop by and leaving a message π₯°

Oh I understand the White Paper Syndrome only to well..it’s really weird isn’t it? Why are we so afraid of starting when children leap in without a moment’s thought? I love your illustrations, they have such character even though their backs are to us, really lovely. I like the higgledy piggledyness of the junk journal too, I love the random look of things like that but struggle to do it myself! If you’d like to swap ATCs, I’m up for it, you’d have to send me your addy though. Appletonmob at gmail dot com.

Hi Tracy, I have an idea in my head for the ATCs and just hope it looks the same when it ends up on card, I know yours will be brilliant. It's wet here today too so maybe that will be an excuse to stay in and get them done after walking Maisie and Stan. Loving the sneaky peek too, she's looks lovely. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x10x
ReplyDeleteMorning Tracy. Your blog has brightened my day, what smashing photos, full of colour and inspiration. It’s a rainy day here too, thankfully, so it looks like it’ll be a messy play day spent in my craft caveπ©π»π¨πLove and hugs, Sue. x
ReplyDeletePS. Thanks for the sneeeky peek❣️
What a lovely post. Thank you Tracy xxx
ReplyDeleteI really love the joy and happiness you put into your blogging and I always go away smiling...thanks.

So loving the journal the different layers so touchy feely that see something different everytime you look at it, your desk is awesome so full of adventures I so love your veiw into your garden looking so colourful π π my mind would be day dreaming all the time looking out that mysterious object caught just out of sight that you swore moved and danced π convinced it was a mouse waving and dancing with bright coloured ribbons π only for it to disappear as quickly as you saw it π
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see the stamps as know they will be cute full of stories to tell love and hugs Tracy keep shinning brightly πππ
Morning Tracy
ReplyDeleteExactly the way I work ������ start off with an almost empty desk then it ends up covered in wee ones ������paint��, glue, brushes,inks, ribbons, anything and everything and then I'm left with a tiny wee space to work on���� no wonder I get covered in as mush stuff as my project M x
It has been raining here since we awoke. Agree with you about white paper, it was the same when I did cross stitch, I hated starting. Lovely peek at your painting. Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful sneaky peaks!!! I can't get passed the white page!
ReplyDeleteI love your messy desk lol looks like mine!
Can't wait to see what's come out of your mind ☺️��♥️��

ReplyDeleteI love your blog layout. I've wanted to get rid of my side panels and the blog instructions has lost the set up. Your desk has a beautiful view. AND Your journal cover is beautiful. If you want to exchange ATC's I have mine completed email me your address hilsyl@gmail.com if not I understand. I'm in USA Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy - lovely to see your desk like that, it sort of says you have a creative mind to me and as I know you I know that you have. I am so looking forward to seeing what your new figures are, I was expecting more of the wee mice but these look like hoomans! Wonder what stories they are telling?
ReplyDeleteI don't spend anywhere near the amount of time you do on my journal pages and I just dig straight in with a stencil or two for my background and then the4 white age is no more. Mind you, my pages are sparse these days as I always seem to be at the last minute with them.
Guess I am the same with my ATC's so I had better get a move on - now what did I say I was doing? Any extra to swap with me? Would love to.
Hugs, Neet 6 xx
I love seeing your desk but how quick has that week gone. The Atcs sound interesting and your sneaky peeks, you know we're all zooming in to see what we can spy π€ͺπππ₯°π❤️
ReplyDeleteStunning peek can't wait,love your desk
ReplyDeletewe do get messy when we are into something
special.love your cover for junk journal.
Love xxx
I hate starting with a blank page too Tracy - at least your 'babies' are a great starting point to break the page and inviting added colour. Loving the journal! Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteI tried to visit at work, lunchtime but the comment box was too small on the phone! I am loving your workdesk (looks much better on a big screen too!) our junk journal is gorgeous. Thanks for dropping by. Happy WOYWW Helen #1
ReplyDeleteThrilling to see you in such action! Can’t wait to see the samples and the words…what I can see I already like! I’m working on ATCs this morning too, but your idea is far more clever than any I’ve come up with!!
ReplyDeleteI came back to say the pink gun thing is my ATG gun, a double sided tape dispenser. Very light and not as cumbersome as it looks in use, I love it!
ReplyDeleteOooh Tracy, I've just come back to WOYWW and what a treat to not only see your amazing creative desk (and your lovely view) but I get a sneaky peek and a look at your beautiful junk journal. I hope you are both well, hugs, Chrisx 19
ReplyDeleteI totally love your junk journal - what a wonderful cover, and the little watercolour painting is adorable. I'd love to swap an ATC if you have any left over but don't worry if not.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely week,
Diana xx #14
