Is it Wednesday already?
\nOK then, time for “Tales from the Studio.”<\/p>\n

Wanna know what’s going on in my crafty space?
\nWanna see what’s on my workdesk this morning?
\nCome on in to my studio and enjoy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s start with looking at a golden oldie<\/strong> layout \u2013 lifted from one of my old scrapbook albums.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(I don’t create ‘traditional scrapbook layouts’ anymore but every Wednesday I dive into my albums and lift a ‘golden oldie.’ The layouts I pick are random, YOU – blogreaders – name the number of the album and layout to show.)<\/p>\n

The request came from Neet<\/a> who asked me to open album 7 and show Layout #7<\/p>\n

Aaahhh… look at that!
\nMeet James!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can really call this lay0ut an ‘oldie’ – I made it long before I started blogging and never showed it online. James was my pet. He came live with me in 1989, when he was only 4 weeks old. His mother had died short after giving birth and actually the kittens were too young to survive without her, but I wanted to try keep James alive and fed him with a pipette… He grew up to be a big, tranquil cat. He moved houses with me four times in sixteen years. Then a strange type of crust appeared on his nose… it turned out to be an incurable type of cancer and in April 2006 I had to let James put down to sleep. I do hope he is at the happy hunting-grounds – laying in the sun like he loved to do when he was alive.<\/p>\n

Next, I have pages to show for Glue it Tuesday<\/strong><\/a>.
\nWeek 4 of Glue it Tuesday, hosted by the lovely Aimee of Artsyville. If you like to cut and paste something – anything… come on over and play along.<\/p>\n

I’m in this week!
\nNot with ‘box of longing’ collages on index cards today. This time I made pages in my grid journal<\/a>. Does someone remember that journal? Anyway, I have this stack of mono types backgrounds that show gorgeous details, so I cut squares and made two pages.<\/p>\n

Purple Haze<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yellow Submarine<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I may have to work on them some more, especially the yellow page seems to be missing something (shadows? contours?)<\/p>\n

Speaking of collages… I received this wonderful happy mail from Tammy Garcia<\/a> yesterday including one of her famous little collages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And yes… it ‘blew…’
\nIn fact, it blew my mind!<\/p>\n

Thank you so much Tammy!
\nSomething happy is coming your way too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Last, as usual, I show you a photo of my desk.
\nI visited my parents last weekend and my mom had cleaned her studio (she’s a poet and writer of children’s books – find her website HERE<\/a>.) She had a bunch of empty books and notebooks that she wanted to get rid off, and guess who took them home? HAhaa!<\/p>\n

The books are still on my desk but that’s about all there is. Oh, and that one spread that still lays there from last week… I didn’t play in my studio since Saturday. So I zoomed out a bit to give you a wider look at the desk… there’s a lot going on on the side that I normally don’t photograph. So now you know what’s there \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

WOYWW #201<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The quirky abbreviation woyww stands for W<\/strong>hat’s O<\/strong>n Y<\/strong>our W<\/strong>orkdesk W<\/strong>ednesday. Every Wednesday, crafters from all over the world take a photo of their desk ‘as is’ and show it on their blogs. We then all gather and line up at Stamping Ground – where our host Julia keeps an eye on us.<\/p>\n

Now I hope to find time to visit a lot of you woyww-ers today. The list is loooonggg, but I try to visit as many desks as possible.<\/p>\n

See ya!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
