Well better late than never (it's 3pm) here's my desk - and I've taken the picture from a distance so that you can appreciate how spread out I am. That's my paper scraps box in the foreground, which is getting a lot more use made of it since I took up journal making. Under the desk you can just see my two bins - recycling and rubbish.
Here's a close up of the actual work in progress - a nearly finished page for my new (bigger) journal. If you've seen the other pages you'll know they are pretty small, so I've been busily making myself a set of covers for A4 watercolour papers. Having said that, when I actually sat down with a sheet of paper that size I was pretty intimidated, and felt at first like I was just making everything bigger to fill up the page. It turned out OK in the end I think.
And here's a quick swing to the left to show the little journal, my binder of collage sheets, the book on fancy lettering I've just bought, and under the binder a quick glimpse of the new journal covers. That's my Wednesday contribution - now off to visit some other desks for a good ole nosey about. If you'd like to do the same, get on over to
Julia's where a feast of nosiness awaits!!

I love your creative space and how uncluttered it is (I work with piles and seem to never be able to spread out)...also loved the binder where you keep thing organized! Beautiful journal page too! :)
I am in love with your room - what a gorgeous big space!
And your journal page is fab!

Love the space and you've got a desk with a view! I envy you. :)
I'm loving the look of the journal page you are working on there. Do I spot some Crowabout Studio B images?! I felt intimidated by my A4 journal when I first got it but now I am in love with it and everything else feels small! You have a talent for journaling - this is fab :-)
You really do have a great space ...I love your journal pages but I think this last one rocks
Found your blog today and love, love, love your work! I will check back often.

I know I am really late this week, but I was glad I made it by to see your journal and a few of your journal pages from other posts. I love how much light you have at your desk, too. Even while working, I can tell you are a tidy crafter. Happy belated WOYWW.
