WOYWW - This is the day deskers around the world meet up for a chat and show What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. We help, inspire, sympathise and laugh out loud . . become very good friends. The deets are at the top of the page . . . . all thanks to our lovely Head Desker Julia . .
Nearly July and so . . . . .
My Desk
Covered in butterfly stamps and dies. . . . with a cup of coffee all ready.
I am sorting out the stamps . . . . .
. . . . the dies . . . .
. . . and the box. . . .
why? you ask . .
July was Peter's Birthday month and this year I am going to celebrate in style!
Peter had this idea to make an album of watercolour butterflies, natural and fantasy. He didn't achieve this but did leave a wonderful box of stamps and dies to which I have added my stamps and dies (not many as I could always use his!) and I am now sorting through them in the hope of making all my cards and ATCs for this month with butterflies somewhere on them.
Whether I achieve this or not is a moot point but if I have all this stash to hand . . . there's not much choice is there? lol
The screen . . .
So if you will forgive me I will get on as there is a lot to sort through . . . .
What a wonderful idea. You could add a few printed butterfly pages or bought butterflies if you run out of steam! Happy WOYWW. Angela #14
ReplyDeleteGood for you , that sounds a great idea . Thanks for visiting. Helen #2
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea to do the butterfly album for Peter - I hope you really enjoy doing this project, it looks like you have a fine selection there already! The screen saver is something I try to live by, I’m not a hoarder and prefer less choice to more…I know, weird!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sorting and maybe thin out as you’re going along xx

What a fabulous idea to create using butterflies the entire month of July. You have a lot to choose from that's for sure. I am impressed. I look forward to seeing what you create. Happy WOYWW from #1.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful idea and a great tribute to Peter in his birthday month Christine. I look forward to seeing some of your butterfly makes. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteI love the idea Christine, and so would Peter! How nice too, to use the stuff he lovingly collected, so much better than just looking on it now and then. Your July output will be beautiful, hope you enjoy every minute! As for the screensaver...oh my goodness, was it meant to be directly for me!??
ReplyDeleteThat is a great collection of Butterflies. Good luck with making the journal, sounds like a great idea. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x9x
ReplyDeleteI love that 'meme', sums up how I feel sometimes!! Good luck with the butterflies! Have a good week, love n hugs Cindyxx #12
ReplyDeleteI hope you achieve your goal. What a wonderful idea and what a lovely way to give thanks for the times you had together. I can well imagine there may be tears along the way but it will also give you lots of memories and happiness. I wish you well Christine in what you hope to achieve. Please share with us what you do along the way.
ReplyDeleteLove, Neet 10 xx
Well done on the sorting. We all need to clear and sort now and again. I am sure we have much more stuff than we can ever use. I love the idea of a butterfly project. Hope you share it with us too. x x Jo
ReplyDeleteOMG. That quote could have been written with me in mind. I try to de-stash and de-clutter and it never ever works as well as I hope it will. Your butterfly collection is impressive and you carrying on and making his planned album is a lovely tribute. I can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteHappy cool and breezy belated WOYWW!
