Everything on this above table was 10 cents....lots of playing cards (I have a Collection) and I use in a few projects.  some old music pamphlets, sewing patterns  adorable ceramic knobs.

WOYWW #750


Happy #750, what a great milestone for sharing desks, fun and love to all who've been enjoying Julia's great Wednesday's  *the day we share our desks and lots more !   Julia's Blog 

Well Fall in all it's glory has brought back some great temps, 60 and 70's and Color is really taking place with all the trees. My favorite season.

My desk wondering about my next few 3x3's for our daily posts  Ocean theme is dwindling

I brought out Halloween boxes (on the floor left) and scattered about papers, Need to get busy If I want to mail to the grandkids.  On this table to the left are paint chips !  I sorted out by color/size and found a great display piece in my storage area.  The box below that has lots of  advertising/with colors of paint chips in groupings. I do use some 3z3 's  for backgrounds and I love the green's to make leaves.
One of my daily "Ocean October 3x3's"  #16  

Hubby finished up corn/beans just before the rains came, and now he's preparing fields for next springs crops, Ripping corn stocks, then disking ground to make make it a black dirt field again.

Wishing you all a great week ahead, enjoy your season changes and I'm praying for our world to have PEACE. Everyday the news is devastating.  
 Thanks for all your visits and comments, last week.

Oh the signature sign is back !!!!   Welcome, maybe a start to a great day.   Harvest is winding down. All the corn and beans are now in storage. Only discing to bring the black ground back and  should beat being complete before the rains. WHEW!!!

Posting a Corrugated Journal I made a few days ago, as I had no where to go. Ended up with a dead battery in my vehicle. But after charging it's ready to go !  If necessary.








Now to my desk !    oh the joys of SPACE....I'm so blessed,  and I did take time to clean up the biggest share of the area, so I did some decoupaging using some tree disc he cut last fall. 

 The biggest was a darker wood and doesn't show up as bright.  I am new to this so will have to do a bit more  research !  .   Today's the day we are sharing our workspaces at Stamping Ground  many more desks to visit  and you can partake.

Thanks for all the visits last week,  It's cool here but with no winds it's been  a good fall for us.

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.

Good Morning....running late but wanted to post. It's cool here and was great to sleep in.

It's the day we share our desks  All the updates are HERE at Ms. Julia's BLOG

My little cart I keep upstairs   It has all the makings of Reinker/Watercolor flowers/leaves.  On Facebook I follow Make Art with  Wendy Vecchi, she has Tuesday Tips and has some great classes offered .  
Then my desk  starting the process for a journal from cardboard and using black/vintage papers.  

Plus my Daily Inkbox cards 


Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  It is to get warm here again 80's or so. Hubby is almost finished with corn  and will be doing soy beans all weekend. So it's moving equipment for me I guess.    Thanks for your visits and comments last week.

Hello everyone!  The day we share our desks, you can connect HERE to join in or visit others. 

 It's been awhile, but hubby is using his equipment to pick corn. He had some fields earlier hit by hail, so the insurance man accessed damages and with no rain it's good to process. SO I have time, late meals when he's in for the night.   Previous weeks have been time taken to attend some County Fairs. Enjoy relatives visiting from hot climates in Arizona.  I also have been clearing out the storage area, selling fall decor, and dealing with muscle issues. Almost done dealing with computer issues got a new home computer but haven't been home long enough to back up photos/documents from the old as yet.  I don't do well on comments with my phone.

My crafty space has been limited to doing 3 or 4  3x3 cards at one sitting so I can partake in the weekly challenge.  Hopefully next week I can have time to clear the desks and start enjoying open space for other projects. 


My desk area found the hot pink pen storage on sale at Dollar Tree and will be a handy item for my next weeks plan.  
This is a far away photo actually sharing my floor such a mess. 

Here ia one of the Inkbox cards 

I'll be happy to play catch up  visiting all of your blogs, Enjoy a great week.

Welcome, thanks for stopping by. It's our What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, Our hostess Julia will be happy to add you to the group HERE or you can visit by way of Mr. Linky deskers all about our world. 

I have had creative time....I can go up and down the steps pretty well once again, Right Knee (but lifting even a few heavy books isn't fun, Left Shoulder/Neck muscle issues.  SO I HAVE A BIG MESS  on all my work spots !!! 
 This is why I haven't posted for 2 weeks.  No home computer. I ended up ordering a new Dell hard drive then the monitors I have would not be compatible so had to get a new one. SUCH a WASTE  Had very frustrating times setting up 1 printer out of 3 imagine THREE..I had to also order a new one of those. HP.....words I can't say here..............the one I love ECHO ink is no longer compatible with Windows 10/11....I used it 2 years with 10 and no issue. I'd spent over 9 hrs in 4 days with them on the phone to get PINK ink on all 3 to stop printing. Mailing me defective color cartridges.  AND MONITORING MY EVERY MOVE.  The new one is a piece of junk.  Prints ok but the loading of paper isn't simple. And I change textures of paper many times.
No lack of  connective cords or power strips........................he'll help me get the no longer usables moved out...SUCH A WASTE.


My desk today  Preparing 3x3's for September's daily theme Stamps. (postage/rubber) These can be seen on Instagram or my Facebook page.

Workspace for ink play...I've a tag book to play with at some point. 

I've a few of the August theme Architecture.



Hard to believe August is almost over.  Weather was really an issue here, extreme heat for a week and a storm that damaged his corn and bean fields East of our home.  He has Crop insurance so it will be assessed during harvest time only a few weeks away. 

Wishing you all the best in whatever you are enjoying.  Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome, have tried all day to schedule this post  several interruptions and issues with my new phone.
Last week we were in and out a LOT, Fairs going on in towns all around us and HE loves the Fairs.
Weather was hot, but we got much needed rain and things are somewhat back to normal.

My normal working desk:  Yeah I can go down steps ..... If anyone knows how to use the wooden numbers right in front let me know  Haven't had time to google them,  I think they are a Tim Holtz product..but not sure.  I wanted to rubber stamp them on my daily cards but that isn't working.
A card made ahead of time for this month's daily post on August Architecture. 
And a shot of Seattle's Space Needle.  with a the Super Moon behind it 

It's sharing the desk day at Ms Julia's HERE if you want to visit our little group. Have a wonderful week.

Welcome, it's a bright sunny, hot day here in Iowa on a Tuesday.  Missed last week as Tues/Wed were spent away. Had some xrays of knee/blood work 50 miles away so made trips for eating out/shopping new stores and enjoying the great weather.  And preparing this today as a scheduled post as  I don't know what tomorrow will bring. 

The following 2 are part of our Daily 3x3 Inkbox cards for July's Jungle theme. 


Then my desk, it's downstairs so don't make too many trips there with this knee but once there I try to accomplish creating and organizing once again.. WHAT A MESS.  

A couple new Seth Apter stamps and a pack of various sized labels.  By the Fodder paper work, I've started a Tag Book. Worked ahead on the Jungle cards  and stashed that all in a file  so I can prepare  for Augusts Architecture.   

I did watch all the videos on the Fodder Challenge, 12 days and really enjoyed the process and  fun projects shared. It is still open if you want to take a look  Access to videos etc will end Aug 4th  It's all free.   
https://willa-workshops.teachable.com/    But don' t confuse it with Fodder School Starting Aug 4 $$$

  Hoping to make that Tag Book this week and more of the foddered leaves.  I kind of like working with the Re Inkers instead of watercolors. Might have him bring that group of crafting upstairs it's all in a roll about .  

My son and family are in Portugal ....the photos are so fun and what history in buildings I've seen WOW.  Most of my Wishes to visit in your area and theirs  are no doubt just wishes.  Air flights seem a mess and our passports are expired.  But we'll see .....................................................
AGES 13, 11,  9
                                                           Both Celebrating their birthdays  

thanks for stopping by, Enjoy what's left of July and see you in August  VIA our special Hostess

Welcome, a great day to enjoy the inside fun I guess. It's dark and looks like some rain, which we need...OKay now it's thunder and lightening.  Starting off sharing my past week with our hostess, Julia and all her Mr. Linky friends HERE 

I've been having some double daily fun, I signed up for a free class, it started Monday and will be 12 days of "FREE" Fodder School, with a different lesson and instructor each day. This is the link to sign up 
https://www.willawanders.com/  and you can go back and start with lesson 1, 2 etc.  Videos are available until 8/5/2023.  
A supply list is provided so you can prepare ahead of time, and most days you have what you need right in that STASH.  My 1st class "Watercolor Tropical Leaves"
12 Different Days of Learning for Mixed Media creating. USING UP STASH !!!!

But if you are not into watercolor you can use any way of coloring,  I need a good White Pen as mine didn't give me what I needed.  And I asked and so many volunteered ideas.
I've brought supplies upstairs and limiting my use of steps somewhat. A knee injury from jumping out of my sons jeep..I had ex-rays  and no broken bones etc  so avoiding MRI's , by having a brace, now using a elastic wrap and tape, massage etc and I am improving a lot Its just a slow process. Maybe a torn ligament/tendon.. 

Still partaking in the Daily  July theme Jungle 



Well a nice rainfall and now back to my daily routine.  He brought in zucchini, so will make some pancakes adding blueberries.  Made a very delicious Peach Pie yesterday,  not a pie maker but I LOVE them .....also a few Kohlrabi were found, green beans, and radishes.
He enjoys growing garden veggies.  Nary a weed !!!

Enjoy a great week, thanks for last weeks visits.
