Okay ... so that promise did n't last long ... you know the one ... I made on Monday ... that I will blog every day at the same time!
I am keeping up with my promise to give some more close ups of my upcycled beer mats though ... for those of you that missed them the first time around ... click on picture for a closer view ... and for those of you that did n't ... well I have included a little wish book and case ... this is my second version of the same thing ... I say the same thing ... I was never really happy with the finish on the first one and I used book rings ... which I was never really happy with either. 
The hardware on the cover of the book is lifted from Lord Tim of Holtz ... you know Tim ... the man that is going to make sure that there is no sign of any volcanic ash clouds when I set off for Ranger U in June ... Can you imagine??? ... NO! ... Let's not even go there! Did I mention I was going to Ranger U ... you know Distress ink heaven in ... erm ... 43 more sleeps :0)
Righty ho ... back to the case. This is one of my May submissions for the Zutter design team ... I used the Bind it all ... some ATCs and a few bits of chip to make the book along with some Idea-ology ... but just look at the cute little case ... that is a Zutter product too ... I just adore it.
Finally back to the job in hand ... it's Wednesday ... and that means it is once again time for WOYWW ... not much to see I am afraid ... just the same old same old ... I must see if I can get a picture mid creative flow next week ... you know jazz the whole thing up a bit. If you need explanation of the acronym WOYWW ... just click here and you will be magically transported to our leader ... who will divulge all!
I am off for a day of crafting and desk hopping ... bit like any other day really ... Have a good one people!

All projects heavenly. Particularly like the dark colours on the Adore mat!! Your work space looks like somewhere you can really get creative in. Don't tell anyone but I really feel the urge to tidy my workspace and make it usable. Just the thought of it makes me need to have a lie down, lol.

Chrissie
ohhhh so much gorgeousness in one place. It must be Linda's place (or should that be plaice?)
And btw - you should tart up your own flip-flops, I bet you could do some Tim-ming to them and make them look amazing
As always you have some really fab stuff to show and tell :-)

gorgeous case and book Linda :) Nightmare when you're in an area you don't know trying to find your way home, but you may not have got to sleep early anyway after the fish (that was 20 metres long (like someone's nose I suspect hehe)) and chips.
Anne xx
See, that's why I don't drive.... well I can, but I don't if you get me.
Love that book and the case is adorable.
wow what a gorgeous book, just beautiful, luv the box,sounds like a good time was had by all,naughty sat nav! lol, sue,x
You already know I lurve your beer mats (I'll get one done soon I promise) but that little book and adorable case are wonderful. What a fab keepsake for anyone.
As for Sat Nav - give me a good road Atlas anyday. At least you can work out your own alternative route if one is shut.
Don't fall asleep over the crafting now!
Hugs

I was wondering what the momentous occasion you were counting to was. Another awesome coaster, and the books is beautiful
Linda your little beer mats look so fab lined up over the top of your desk. As for giant fish and chips - YUM!!!
I adore (geddit?) that black beer mat, it's gorgeous! And the teeny suitcase is so sweet :P Have the drawing pins been spotted yet?
Loving the little red case

Lovin' your luggage and the matching mini....ADORABLE!!!
That's quite a beer mat collection ! Love them !
What a cute project! Loving it!
Eeeeeiiiatiooooo we're going to Ranger Uuuuuuuuuu ... Loving the little case & book, as brilliant as ever :o)
Ooo...love that little red case Linda. The little book and the mat too. I always enjoy viewing your desk be it the same or different! TFS. ~Glen~
Lucky you going to Ranger, have lots of fun! I love the mini album and the case and your upcycled beer mate is lovely too! Have a great week! Tracey x
How cute is that project?? Love this!
GORGEOUS projects!
Everything to hand as usual I see Linda! Hope that's not the case you're taking to Ranger U! I definitely won't fit in there!! It looks fabulous though!
Alison xx (I escaped btw) :)
great little wish book and the case is fabby! Shame you didn't get much sleep, but the fish supper sounds well worth it.
Hee! Hee! I'm so glad I have been of some use to you this week!!!! Hugs Pam x
OMG your project is amazing and i love the cute little case x
Oooo now that's a huge tote bag!! desk is looking lovely and busy and I love the case and booky thing xx
Oh your luggage. Wondrous. Your desk -inspiring..I particularly like our similar need for more than one pair of scissors,more than pne bottle of GA and despite my inability to do TH type stuff, my collection of refill inks probably rivals yours!
Gorgeous art hun and sorry I haven't been by in a while...moving, rashes, fingers, water meters..you know the score ROFL...as for the fish...are you sure it was only 20 metres long? Only, I had one from there once and it was 22.46 metres long...I measured it with my scissors and a screwdriver PMSL...am going mad, honestly, who would use scissors and a screwdriver when a perfectly good tool would be available!! Hugs hun and sorry to hear about Johns Shift...hope all is ok now xxx
More inspiring projects - I'm so impressed that I'm going to try the beer mats (if I can get some from the pub). ikki x
Lovely busy desk. Love the suitcase! Happy crafting! Kathleen x
Really impressive projects...and your workspace in mid creative flow...looking forward to it.
Just love that case and the little book, fabulous.
It's really hard to blog everyday at the same time, but somewhere in the world it's the right time! Love your crafty space and all your 'things!'

You have a sat nav called Valerie? Presumably no Blue Peter badge for her then! (are you the right age for that to make sense?!). Great projects, love your dinky ATC book and its case!
Your projects are delightful, and I absolutely love that Zutter case, I need one of those, think I will have a hunt after I've checked out everyone's desk that is. Great stash you have on that desk too. Tracy Evans x x
Love all your projects, but that little case is fabby! Wish I had your organised workspace. Thanks for the snoop. Lynne xx
I'm loving the closer views of your projects - especially the one in the little suitcase, what a fab idea!!
I love the suitcase! Your workdesk looks very busy :) Hope there aren't any volcano's plotting! *lol* xxx

Linbyx
I love everything you do but the suitcase and wish book is .....well ... fandabbydozie. I have used so many words to praise your work ...I just had to find a new one lol

The wee case makes me think of Paddington bear!
They are all amazing! Love the little case xx
Your wish book and case is just beautiful :-)
wow, stunning suitcase!
I know exactly what you mean about not blogging daily... its particularly difficult if someone steals a couple of the days without telling you! Loving the wee suitcase... I have a white one that requires some TLC... (how did you get rid of the awful mothball smell... I had to put a couple of those dryer cloths in mine for about 23 months)!!
Wow, love that case my fave colour is red, need a bigger pic of your desk Linda can't nosey enough lol.

Awesome project!!! You are getting better and better!
I'm now totally consumed with the thought of fish & chips. I haven't had it in forever and you've made me want some very, very badly. Of course, being in NYC makes that a little hard to do!
Now, is the suitcase shown the one you're taking to Ranger U? Just wondering!
Congrats on going to Ranger U - now that is my dream!!!!
Fish and chips.. yummy! that big?????? lol
Have fun at the weekend, and say hi to my friend Sulie for me..tell her I will see her Monday! lol

Wow what beautiful creations, your work is truly inspirational; Now it's only 8.00 oclock a.m. and I'm thinking and drooling of fish and chips!!! Is that wrong? Happy Crafting to you, Sue xx
Your desk reminds me of mine. Everything right at your finger tips but a cutting-mat sized space clear to do the actual *work*.
I love how you have all your storage set up right there next to you.
Eventually got here. Mr Blogger is playing me up. WOW your desk looks fun and I really wanna come and look at all the beer mats. They are stunning.
Hee Hee our Chip shop is the same, but only do large fish and chips. WOW very filling! Hope you have got more sleep over the last 2 nites. Hazelxox
Your creations are just stunning and thanks, i now have a yearning for good old English fish and chips....impossible to find here of course! hugs debx

Beautiful projects Linda, and love your organised desk.

What a stunning Minibook in a case, all your projects are amazing, your blog is always stunning. Jay xx
All men pipedream, but not equally. Those who fancy not later than twilight in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the age to become aware of that it was bootlessness: but the dreamers of the epoch are rickety men, for they may dissimulation on their dreams with exposed eyes, to make them possible.
Mess... No mess...as long as the creativeness is there who cares what the place looks like.. and as you are sooooo creative your place can be as messy as ya like lol *big bear squeeze*
The distinction of great men should many times be leisurely by the means they from cast-off to into it.
a little late this week but had to stop in a say hello! thanks for the peek!
Love those projects, really cute!
Setting an example is not the strongest means of influencing another, it is the only means.
Great projects you have created. Thanks for having a peek at your workspace as well. Have a great weekend!
I love your desk and your line up...I, like you have a hubbie who is exact with everything where as i have an eye for crafty quirky things x
