Blimey! It's Wednesday already ... and the last day of March! Can you believe it? Where has the time gone? It won't be long now and all of us ... or at least the few of us left that have n't got our butts into gear and started our Christmas cards ... will be panicking again!!!
This is my desk ... I did n't say that with any sense of pride I might add ... bit of a mess really! As the header says ... it certainly aint for the faint hearted! I was late with my last Zutter DT submission and it is still on my desk from very late last night.
The covers are made from plain old grey chip ... rounded off with my 1/4" Round-it-All and painted with a Snow Cap Dabber before swiping with Spun Sugar distress ink ... the pages are water colour paper and envelopes torn and swiped with worn lipstick ... as for the frame ... well that is a Lord Tim of Holtz Ornate frame ... painted and swiped ... you know Tim ... the man that can do open heart surgery on 10 people at the same time with just a speck of mica from a bottle of vintage photo distress stickles and the point off a pokey tool.
I have bound the pad with a 3/4" pink O wires and attached a Grunge Paper rose that was first painted with Dusty Pink acrylic paint and then stamped with the Shabby French script stamp ... which I lurve!
Right I am off in search of Julia ... you should all look too ... and then join in this crazy thing we call WOYWW!

I love that book!! The colours are great, I want one.... and lots of yummy stash on your desk, too!
Oh my, this is so beautiful!!! I love how it turned out. Beautiful colors!! Your daughter will love it!
That is a great book you created for your "baby" to carry and keep stuff in :) I haven't made any roses since Christmas for the 12 tags of Christmas. I think it's time. Ooooh I can use some of the new distress colors!
Ok, you've inspired me. And LOVE all the goodies on your desk!

Hi Linda
Beautiful book, and so is your daughter, I am sure she will love it, lots of creativity on the desk and a little push back mode i see, much like my own.

Oh how lovely! Er, your gorgeous princess and the book you made for her silly, not your messy desk, Lol!
I'll let you off though 'cos if the desk were tidy you wouldn't be making these lovely things for us to ogle would you?

What a lovely book, the colours are gorgeous. I have a daughter of a similar age who would be mightily impressed with something along those lines. I love what you did with the ornate rame, and the colour of the rose is fab, Judith x
That's really pretty Linda, I love the way the rose sits in the frame.
Funnily enough, I can't believe it's the end of March. Mainly because in my notebook, I had today down as the 1st of April!! A whole other day - would you like to borrow it? xx

I love your desk, its what mine looks like when I am creating!

Well I'm with Angie, I dont see mess! I LOVE the pink notebook, bet your baby gal does too - I like to see you working outside your colour zone. So much easier than doing it myself!
Awesome book, love the colors you chose. You're right, WOYWW is not for the faint of heart...lol
That book is gorgeous and I love reading how you did it although actually I have no idea what you are talking about. Hehehe how can you tell I am not a serious card maker like the rest of you clever folk!!

A beautiful book for a beautiful princess - magical
oh Linda - you don't look at all old enough to have a 22 year old daughter (that put me in the good book right?... i'll e-mail you my address for payment of the best compliment of the day?)... love the book you did her, well girly and she's a very pretty - obviously takes after you (whats the second compliment worth - an original LE design???)) tee hee,
Anyway, glad to be back and reading your hilarious posts and looking at your fabby clever creations (not a compliment - just the truth)... I'm still smiling at the fact TH wished you a Happy Birthday (which i missed due to being in hosp).
see you soon

Ooh they are fantastic - and I love the little blue rose on your desk!
In response to your question on my desk - the bead things are sort of a new project - there are a few phone charm tassles, but I'm hoping to try something a little more exciting soon, so keep an eye out!

Gorgeous book I'm sure your daughter will love it and be able to put it to good use - loving the princess charm on the front!
Both my daughters would just love a notebook like that! They would have to be blue and purple though as neither is into pink. Yours is just gorgeous.
