WOYWW #748

Good Morning, it's 2 a m here, having to ice my knee and unable to sleep so what better to do than share time with the folks  HERE for our weekly visits to share What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday !

Today's 3x3 card for our theme is Ocean October, I used an embossing folder to make the background


My desk:   the start of a journal...........cardboard pages and who knows what I am applying to them. No doubt distressed collage, vintage fabric, lace and a surprise...(to you and to me.) for the theme.
This will be the cover.....will bind together with jute or a metal ring .


#29 One of September "Stamps" 3x3's  A real envelope as came in the mail to me  I cut in 1/2 and I rubberstamped the  middle   
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.  Hubby is finished with corn harvest, and is working on beans, but today we take the combine into the shop for repair. Some bars? need to be replaced, had to replace bearings last week, hoping it's only a one day job and that they can do it TODAY.  He's ahead of the game this year so there is time if no storms come.  We have errands to do:   replenish household groceries/a new battery for my car/lunch !!!!/ food for the cat !!!   So a trip to the city again. 

Thanks for the visits/comments last week. Helps a lot when I sit and wait for him to change fields.

What a super cover! Makes me want to pull out my 'brown' and 'cream' boxes . . . I really am in a corrugated cardboard mood at the moment . . . thank you for the inspiration.
Hope your knee becomes less painful soon.
Enjoy your week

Ouch to the knee Sylvia, I hope the pain lessens quickly for you. Those little collages you do are amazing, I wish I had the knack but it’s something I find tricky, just like abstract art, my brain is too logical and pattern based!! Hope your day out goes well and all the errands done without any hassle.

Sorry to read about your knee. I hope it is better soon.

The October sea inspired square is adorable, but the cover to your new cardboard journal. I love how you recycle so many things. I saw the piano roll paper, too. That is very fragile, isn't it?

Nice September stamps square. Sorry to read about the combine. If it isn't one thing on a farm, it's another. I hope it is repaired before any storms set in.

Thanks for the earlier visit while I slept. Happy WOYWW from # 4.

Sorry your knee is so sore, not fun at all! Your desk looks awesome, lots of wonderful papers there! And I love the cover of your journal, looking forward to seeing it grow! I know that fall is a very busy time for farmers, and you seem to be no exception! Hope the combine is fixed soon! I do appreciate farmers, your work is hard, never ending, and all we do is complain about the price of food. But know that what you and your family do is appreciated! Have a great week, Lindart #19

Well I certainly ho0e the combine was fixed on the day, it must be an amazing feeling to be operating slightly ahead when you are so busy all the time. I love the cut in half envelope, what a great idea, not sure that would have occurred to me. So sorry that your knee keeps you from sleeping, golly that's not good.
