“Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world.  Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before.”                Erich Fromm

Something To Share

WOYWW 77

The cleaning fairy has left the workdesk in this house...

She just hasn't been able to sneak in with her dusting cloth, vacuum, shovel, etc.

Too many projects on the workdesk this week....

I have my Sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project

on this side of the desk...

Notice the blank pages...ahem

Going to attempt some book binding with heavier paper...ASAP

Too much fun playing with these this week...
If you LOVE color, BRIGHT color, then you really should put these on your Christmas list (Sharpie POSTER PAINTS)...
They write over everything...believe me, I've tested them this week...

This is a crop of one of the pieces on my desk that I'll photograph tomorrow and list in the etsy shop...

After binding that sketchbook...and last minute grocery shopping along with other "To Do's" which should also include scheduling that cleaning fairy for the workdesk...

Wishing you happy blog hopping....
Stop by Ms. Julia's at the Stamping Ground Here
for more Wednesday Workdesks!

Floating

“When the tides of life turn against you and the current upsets your boat, don't waste those tears on what might have been, just lie on your back and float.”

Grow

“As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.” Denis Waitley

Taking innumerable photos in the garden this morning..

Integrating them...

Ignoring Instructions....
Imitating Inky Outlines
