It's that time of the week where we "show off" our desks to the world courtasy of Julia over at the Stamping Ground. Here's mine with my newly received SWAP card from another Julia! It's adorable, the theme was "Sewing", and it came wrapped in the pink tissue with a beautiful little tag as well. I have also included the card I sent out. Underneath this is my latest scrapping LO of Epsom Derby Day. Just at the photo stage having cropped them. Also there is my Altered Book with its new bead edging which I blogged earlier.
Oh and the scariest thing is my latest stash of Texture Paste and some Acrylic Paints. I tried a splodge of the paste out and even stamped into it. I am pending using it for the cover of my Altered Book, "Andy Skinner" style as I saw him demonstrating the "Mechanical Bird" at The Craft Barn recently.
Internet Update : Connection stable but set at a very slow rate, we wait in anticipation........................................... Happy WOYWW Everyone - BJ.

Lots of gorgeous things on your desk BJ. Great Tim tags and that book looks ripe for a peruse! WOYWW Hugs to you from Helen 15
Lovely tags and cards. I will have to check out your altered book. I did one of Andy Skinners online workshops and really enjoyed learning his techniques. I am sure it was wonderful to see him in action.
