WOYWW BEFORE A LITTLE HOLIDAY

My craft is packed -
Just need to add my Copics, scissors etc. Decided to take my mini sewing machine with me and have a play 'cos I just can't use the thing. It's so fast that it sews the card I want to sew plus everything else within 3' of it before I get chance to stop it!! So I thought I would have time to get the better of it during these next 12 days in York and Lincoln.
I did however, have a little crafty play yesterday so these photos of my desk are from then. You won't mind I'm sure -

Out came the box with some paper roses in -

I coloured 3 of them with a black Copic pen -

Found an ATC already-prepared piece of card and began to layer up. This was the end result -

My first Halloween ATC - The Bone Collector. I've had to put him out of sight though because he frightened me LOL.
Well, I am going to be really busy today. Hairdressers first then shopping and packing. I will try and pop round to yours, courtesy of Julia, but please forgive me if I don't see you this week. I will be on the dreaded dongle for a while although the first 8 days stop is supposed to have wifi. We will see what that's all about when we get there. Enjoy woyww. x

Ah lovely, hope you enjoy York and Lincoln, sounds great to me. You're a very economical packer, I must say!
I'm such a scaredy cat I hadn't heard of the bone collector...but I do like the addition of the roses, really adds to that whole gothy atmospheric!

Have fun on your little holiday... sounds like you are hoping for rain so you can craft with all the stash you are taking.
Hide that Bone Collector... seriously a nightmare or three there.... Eeeek! Well made art though!

great looking desk! Love the bone collector! Sorry I am so late getting by this week but I wanted to pop by and visit your blog to say hello and to see what you are up to! Didn't have the time to post(except about newest Doswell addition) or craft the past two weeks due to being in Virginia visiting with the son's family to see the newest granddaughter born. Definitely a fun time none the less. Hope you have a great week. Vickie aka okienurse
