What's on my work desk Wednesday

Here is my desk!



And here it is from a different angle!



Either way it doesn't look very tidy does it!
So maybe I can distract your attention and show you some of the projects I have been working on this week to cause the mess!



I made this card from some of the 'off cuts' of the background papers you saw me making last week. I am pleased to tell you I have used them all up and need to make another batch. I have completed 7 pages in the baby journal (I think I should have called it the pregnancy journal) I will just show you a couple as I'm sure you don't want to see all 7!



And this one



And this one



That should give you a bit of an idea of what I have been working on. My daughter seems to give me lots of material to make pages for the journal, this week alone she has been in hospital twice! I am hoping for a uneventful week this week no late night dashes to the hospital!
Thank you for visiting my desk this week if you would like to visit more crafty desks just click on the link on the right marked Stamping Ground and Julia will explain all

    Hi Jackie I love the idea of a pregnancy journal to record those precious 9 months! A colleague at work has asked me to decorate the front of hers and she's having twins!
    Hope your daughter is ok now.
    Have a happy week

    It's such a worrying time being a mum isn't it? Really hope all goes well for your daughter.
    Thanks for your kind comment on my blog...I just feel that we should all use our talents to give a little back to the world...and you are right in that if we all did the same the world would be a better place to be :-)

    Oh, your daughter looks so well in that pic, tucking into that burger! I have the ultra-sounds of my two from around twenty years back, but only in ordinary albums, not presented beautifully like this. Thanks for your visit earlier. We're trying to get the heating and water fixed for mum today, as they now seem to have gone awol from the new flat! Happy WOYWW! Julie Ann xx #20

    Creativity is a messy business, what can I say? I hope your daughter is feeling better. I'm sure that sweet card made her feel better. Blessings!

    Hi Jackie, my, oh my, there must be a lot of creating going on there :) It seems that your daughter is having a time of it, hope all settles down for her soon. Love the pregnancy journal - and it seems that you will have plenty of material to fill it too. And the card is the perfect pick-me-up.

    Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a good week. Elizabeth x #42

    The journal is shaping into a wonderful keepsake. Well worth making a mess on the desk for.

    Your desk makes me want to go for a poke and prod to see what else can be unraveled. So much interesting stuff and what a fab journal.

    I do wish your daughter (and you) could just sit back and enjoy the pregnancy. Still, it will be worth it one day. Soon.
    Love the Stampotique card and I love how your desk has spilled over onto the floor. And here am I still all tidy - must go and mess up soon.
    Hugs, Neet xx 16

    Love that get well card. Those gelli backgrounds look great. Seeing that pic of your daughter reminds me I went in to labour with No.2 son in McD's - I got wedged behind a booth table until the contraction passed! Happy days! Thanks for your visit. MMx #41

    Love the journal but really like the Stampotique card. I seem to come and go with using them and marrying the stamps with Gelli plate (a current obsession, as you know :)) is always something to keep in the back of my mind. Your pile o' prints is impressive :)


    Busy with DS's visit yesterday so Happy (late) WOYWW!
