There isn't a lot actually going on on the floor today, I'm gathering a few bits and pieces together to take away for the weekend - the Crafty Boots DT I am part of is having a meet up in Milton Keynes and I am staying with the very lovely Gabrielle and I'm really looking forward to it. We hit it off as soon as we started commenting on each other's blogs and tweeting, and it was lovely when we first met last year at an Ally Pally show. So it will be great to spend some time with her (and get to play in her studio I hope!) I will also get to meet Zoe (from the WOYWW crop) again as well as several of the other CB design team members. Can't wait!
I have gesso'd some pages in my (nearly full) journal as I am leading a journal painting lesson.... hence the pile of Paperartsy stamps!
The eagle-eyed among you will also spot a tag peeking out from under the journal - but that's for later when the DragonsDream challenge launches, you'll just have to check back later for another Dragon's recipe challenge!!
So, happy desk sharing and hopping - see you soon!

Ooh, ooh, new Dragonsdream recipe - yum! And same yum for the PaperArtsy stamps... Had the joy of meeting Buttons for the first time in real life at the NEC this weekend - so I know exactly what you mean about those real life connections. Hope you have a great meet in MK, and happy WOYWW!

Well it will be fab to have two other DT members that you already know..I live in fear of not knowing anyone at a do!! It will be a fun weekend I'm sure, I'll put money on nothing more than a visit to Gabrielle's studio..you'll be too busy gassing!!
Gesso - I hate the stuff, always seems to leave my pages sticky! Perhaps I ought to buy a different sort to the cheapo one from "The Works" - BJ#37
So you are off to another crafty meet up - good for you! Enjoy!
Hugs,
Cardarian
I can't wait either! It'll be fab to have a go at a journal page, I'm leading some colouring tutorials showing the techniques of colouring skin and hair Zoe-style! It's going to be fun. No desk for me today as I'm trying to rest up in between sorting everything for the weekend. I'm hoping I may be able to have peek into Gabrielle's studio too! Though Julia is right, lots of talking will happen too. Anyway I wanted to pop by and say hello and of course have a nose at your desk!! Take care Zo xx
ooooh a blank journal page, have fun playing.
Have a great trip.
We have a page gessoed ready to use in our journal, everytime we try to close the book the pages stick, despite the gesso being dry.
Enjoy your meet up.

Oohh the stamps look interesting! Art journal...have a book haven't done anything in yet....I feel intimidated by it..."Art Journal" ! I'll have to rename and convince myself it's something else. :D Nan 103

Thanks for the visit - love those Paper Artsy stamps - you can never have too many PA stamps - looking forward to seeing what your page turns out like, I always find that blank page stage very daunting!!
Enjoy your crafty time with your friends
Happy WOYWW
