WOYWW 47

This is my desk first thing this morning.  I'm following Dina Wakley's on line journaling course which I would recommend to anyone, very informative and full of ideas.  
You can see from this photo that I'm managing to fill the storage unit that my hubby made for me, he's already got an order in from one of my friends, lol.  Stamps, Viva paints and pastes, Moleskin journal, Big shot.

I've got a friend coming today and we're going out for lunch, so she will want to have a peek in my craft room, oops, sorry studio, so have had a mad tidy and quick vac and this is the result.
Couldn't help just placing the new T!m papers on my May page for the 365 Art Journal which I am taking part in which is being organised by the wonderfully talented Kate Crane.  And don't you just love my fabby pink leather journal?  I can't stop stroking it.

Don't forget to take a look a Julia's blog to see what other people are up to.  Now you all have a good day.  I'm over the moon because I've been really ill for the last 10 days or so because I've had a terrible reaction to the chemo, so after seeing the consultant yesterday      he's stopped it and hopefully will not have to go back on it again, fingers crossed, just having to cope with the steroids and the 2 stone weight gain!!!!!

  6. First, thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. How sweet of you.

    I love the journal you have ready for May. I so enjoy Kate, too. And those hand painted papers are simply beautiful. Looks like something I might make (if I ever get back into my studio, that is).

    Have a fun lunch and a happy WOYWW.

  48. Hi. I was VERY late (due to ill-health) with my WOYWW this past week and it's the day again tomorrow already (which will be my 3rd time).

    So, rather than fail, I am now leaving the same message on all the blogs I visit for the Wed 28th April WOYWW - thank you for inviting me into your space and I do hope your week has been a good one. Will be back next (this) week!
