WOYWW 153

Hi everyone, welcome to my usual messy desk.... A special warm welcome to all of my new followers, you are much appreciated!!!
This week I have been busy working on a mini album I was commisioned to make for someone (see post below). The basic album is done, so on my desk you can see some of the tags to go with it. Work in progress as you can see.
I am going to keep this short, thanks for visiting and if you want to find out what this is all this messy desk business is about, have a look HERE
Work in progress. Available work space 6 square inches??


After a bit of a tidy

    I seem to jump back and forth from sepia toned vintage stuff and really bright and funky stuff. I love your mini - really, really lovely and so much attention to detail. Lucky recipient!

    Happy WOYWW

    Six inches is plenty of space - look at your wonderful creations! The tags for the album are lovely....I must say when someone says sepia to me, my heart drops a bit, but this is just gorgeous, love all the additional borders and pieces.

    Hey Astrid!

    What lovely tags - the rest of the mini book must be gorgeous!

    Thought I'd let you know that I gave Mr B an appropriate prod and made him go brush his teeth and get into bed properly after undressing - so so I could have a comfy night!

    Thanks for stopping by...

    Love your work! And I also have that paper with the happy on it and the bicycle...I made an anniversary card for a girl friend to give her husband...there may be a pic of it on my blog? Did you get the whole pad or just a few pieces? I loved the whole pad so much I got 2! lol Which also means I love so much what you have done with the tags and the album...so, so, well, gorgeous does seem to be the only fitting word honestly. :) And thanks for stopping by to see my doggie and me at #62~Deeyll and leaving me a comment...now I have to go explore the rest of your blog! :)
