However, in some way you may call my job ‘creative’ too (I work in the restoration studio of the Zeeuws Archief ), ’cause I handle all sorts of paper all day long and today there is something interesting on my desk.

It will take some time *grin* to smoothen and repair the paper so that the public can handle this book again, but page by page I will get there….

Thanks for stopping by and uhrm, ladies: congratulations on this 900th anniversary!

(I hope to be able to visit your blogs too in the next days, see ya!)

Here’s a photo of the big work shop, the ‘restoration and conservation studio’ of the Zeeuws Archief.

… and there will probably something like this on my desk:

My job is, to save paper and documents like this from further desintegrating. Ain’t that the most wonderful job for a paper lover like I am?!!

When I get home on Wednesday, my ‘weekend’ starts and since I can’t get enough of paper, I dive into my own little atelier to play with my art journals. Here’s a spread from a couple of weeks ago.

The Chronicles of Marit 2020 – Week 36

This spread is all about Corona and yes, the numbers are increasing rapidly in the Netherlands. I write this post on Sunday afternoon and on Tuesday, there will be another press conference by our prime minister. I expect stricter measures will be announced – I just hope I won’t be send home from my job again because there’s no way I can take those original documents I work with back home with me, so when we all have to go into another lockdown, I will be without a job again… keep your fingers crossed!

I’m still a member of the Dutch Dares design team, a scrapbooking challenge group on Facebook. The challenge for October is Food and Drinks and here’s my take on the theme.

It’s getting difficult to get those layouts done in time because besides my job, I’m also writing and filming tutorials for my new online workshop KRONIEKEN that starts at the end of this year (it will be in Dutch only, sorry.) I committed myself to stay a design team member until December so there’s two more ‘dares’ to go… I think I can do that.

And what are you up to? I hope you are well and healthy still. Thanks for your visit and I hope to pay you, fellow desker, a visit back in the next couple of days to take a peek at your desk and stay in touch. Have a great day, stay safe!
