Hello happy deskers, and welcome back to the start of a new year - a new year of desk hopping linked together in friendship at Julia's
The Stamping Ground
I tried to visit as many of you as I could last week - I did pretty well but did run out of time, so didn't quite get to everyone, I'm sorry!
Anyhow, you're here for a desk... (of sorts!)
I got down at floor level for this (not that's there's really space to do that) - one very full, finished journal - some new stamps and ink pad (plum archival as it can't really be seen from this angle!) a couple of pens (never have too many marker pens) and a finger print kit - from our very own Morti
(I won a Facebook giveaway of a silver fingerprint charm)
A closer look at the journal
I've also received some more ATCs in the swap since last week - top is from Annie, beautifully stitched, and complete with card and poem
below is Jo (Twiglet) also beautifully stitched, in a cute little envelope
BJ (left) and Jackie Payne (right)
and Chris (Mrs D) - hope you've made it out of the floodwater now!
and I did get the finger print mould made - hope it's going to come out ok. I'll get it posted back to Morti tomorrow! (Well today, really)
it took me longer to decide which shape charm I wanted, than to make the mould..!
Can't promise to get to you very early this week, there's a work "do" tomorrow night which will play havoc with my desk hopping! And on Sunday I am off to the Craft Barn "Extravaganza" - hope some of you may be there too, and that it stays fine and sunny!

More lovely ATCs coming from far and wide. Love them all. Seems we have the same friends (grin).
Your journal is gorgeous. I like that it doesn't lay flat and the pages turn all wonky when wet, then dried. Happy WOYWW, although I have no number yet.
Your journal looks lovely. I would love to sit and flip through it. I'm too intimidated...and too far behind on scrapbooking to try anything like that...but maybe one day. Thanks for letting us have a peek.

Say hi to Neel for me when you go to the Craft barn. Bella
Great ATCs there. What time are you going to the extravaganza on Sunday? I'm going Saturday with one of my new crafters but thought I might pop in on the Sunday too, you never know. Thanks for your visit today BJ of the no number no linky.
That journal looks fabulous - nothing finer than a full journal is there! Love all the ATC's you received - fab stuff!

Hi h the journal looks amazing did you leave the heart page partly open on purpose lol
Looks like we will have to get around without mr linky

Was totally blown away by the journal you showed me at the crop and it is something I've always wanted to try but never quite had the courage to start. Then Di Wray posted a pic of a gift of a little journal she was given and I was inspired to get a small journal of my own and the moment it arrives I will attempt my first page!
I LoVe looking at my growing collection of ATC's and see something different in each one each time I look ... isn't it lovely having all these little pieces of art to share and enjoy!
Love Debbie xXx
Oh, I'm so glad that you won the fingerprint thing...what fun. Morti makes some beautiful things :-)
The journal is bursting out all over :-). I enjoyed looking at your new one at the Crop...have fun filling this new book!
hugs, LLJ xxxx
Well I never - a fingerprint mould. Now that is new to me but what a fab idea. Look forward to seeing the end result.What a collection of atc's you have there - such a lot of memories to store away.
Have a great day - and maybe we will link some time.
Hugs, Neet xx
You've got some fab ATC's and your book look fantastic
Lynn - one I made earlier today
Hi Helen, Mr Linky might have gone on holiday but it wont stop us , right! Gorgeous collection of ATCs, I would love to peek though your journal, I am not so good as you at maintaining the effort, other things distract me lol!
Happy crafting,
Angela @ Felix the Crafty Cat x
Helen, your wish is my command. If you look on my blog now, you will see a new countdown in place, just as you requested. What a lovely thing to win, that charm will be so special. Glad to see you are well back in the swing of things after the Crop. Have a great week. xx Maggie
Ooh! A fingerprint charm sounds interesting!
Thanks for your well wishes Helen..not had much free time for blogging and comments!
Hope to rectify that soon.
xoxo Sioux

wow - your journal looks so full and lovely!!
Hi Helen
How lovely to see a full journal book - must be great to look back over everything you've created... How many of those do you have?
Some fabulous ATC's too - I was a little late coming back to expext any but at least I have one coming from the person who was above me on the linky list...
What a lovely and thoughtful gift that fingerprint charm would make someone - I bet my mum would love something like that - she loves her jewellery and we both prefer silver to gold..
Anyway - I've actually posted 2 weeks in a row. Didn't get round many desks last week as I started feeling a bit rough from Thursday evening onwards - that's putting it lightly!
Take care - lovely to be visiting your floor again :)
Hugs

Oh! Just the push I need! Don't know why I can't seem to complete my journal - just keep going to newer ones! Watch this space! Btw not got around to posting your ATC will do so asap! Thanks for your beauty - thinking I'm going to need some more stamps! Give my love to Lindsay if you see her at the weekend! Chrisx
That Craft Barn "Extravaganza" sounds so fun! Wish I could go! Have fun. Happy WOYWW! #17
Your journal looks like a book of treasures, and one that you could spend hours looking through. Happy WOYWW and Blessings!
Oh, just itching to look through your journal! i too am doing Summer of Color, my first time. Do you start a new journal for it or create individual pages? http://afocusedjourney.blogspot.com/2014/06/working-in-wee-hours-of-morning.html
Kudos on finishing your journal! Have a great time at your do : ). Hapy WOYWW #5
What a productive desk!!!! Looks like a fabulous art journal! So many pretty ATC's! Happy WOYWW to you!!!!
Another one in awe of your journal - really I could have spent MORE time flipping thru it, absorbing every page, but I just had to pull myself away. I think I mist have missed anything about the fingerprint mold...I wonder what it's for? I shall browse back and see if I can find out.
Happy no-Linky WOYWW! (except I checked again and there it is!)

Thanks for popping by my blog ... it was lovely having you visit! Thanks too for the advice on the Stampscene stamps ... I will dig them out again eventually and have another go - just not for a while. I can't wait for my little journal to arrive so I can make a start ... still think of the journal you bought to the crop and your work has stayed with me! Love Debbie xxx
Wow, just look at that journal - what a source of pride that must be! I can only imagine filling one (I have many on the go, each with only two or three pages done... need to focus!).
Fabulous ATCs pouring in - lovely to see them.

Awesome journal...so much work, angst, and love went into it I am sure. Wow great ATC's I haven't been able to post on Wednesdays for a while and I have missed it! Sorry I am so late getting around! Thanks for sharing. Vickie #62
