Horrah - THAT time again A WOYWWing we'll go...
So what delights do I have for you all today? A scrappage in progress, a "shades of grey" card, my alpha challenge and my half decorated dress form. Oh and the chain I just made for my glasses from a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology chain!
Scrap page is using some of the contents from my newly acquired stash that I received this week from "The Stamp Attic" having been nominated for some "Pay it Forward" goodies. It was a complete surprise and many thanks to Bernice for nominating me.
The "Shades of Grey" card is for my Aunt. I wouldn't actually read the book myself but couldn't resist making a card for her as she has! I even added some chain from my glasses chain which broke yesterday!
Knew my dress form pin cushion would get a make-over one day and sure enough I have been pinning fabric flowers and lace to her as and when I come across/receive some. She is coming along nicely and easily changeable too.
Then there are the glasses with the new chain. Now I'll have to get some more Timmy chains to ring in the changes.
Have to say it is really difficult taking photos without my glasses on these days! Had to have a few attempts as I kept missing bits off! Happy WOYWW.

Hi BJ, your glasses chain has got to be the top contender for the prize for the most original use of a Tim Holtz product - and very trendy too.
Not read the book either but I've heard/seen plenty of references to it in the crafting world. Your aunt is going to love the card - it's lovely. I like the embossed panel and the butterfly is beautiful.
Have a great WOYWW. Elizabeth x (too early for a number)
Love what your doing with the dress form...it looks lovely
Chain for glasses is a great idea using tim chain!!!! It's such a pain our eye sight going as we get older isn't it.... (Not that we r old) I myself had two operations on my eyes last year and have four different sorts of glasses I have to wear on a daily basis!!!!

Love the shades card, (I did read the books) hope your aunt appreciates the joke! The dress form pincushion looks fabulous - and what a haul of goodies, what a great PIF you received. Helen, 9, hoping the snow goes quickly!!
awesome lot of stash on your desk! I think your aunt will love the card. I read the books and wasn't impressed but I know a lot of folks that loved it. Love the new glasses chain...might have to steal the idea! Have a great week. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #35
Ha, the shades of grey card is fun! I really like the dress form, pinned with bits of 'found' pieces, it may well become an invaluable item in your armoury! What a fab PIF from The Stamp Attic, great generosity.
I think your Shades of Grey card is great fun for someone who has read the book/s, I really could not be bothered reading them. So much showing on your desk today - great idea with Tim's chain and what a lovely surprise to receive a parcel of stash like that too..... Happy WOYWW, Anne x #57

Your take on the card is great and I love the little angel in the bottle. Can't believe so many people got into those books!! Actually all the projects on your desk are great, clever idea to use the TH product for your glasses.

Love your decorated dress form! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #112
I know my eyes widened when you said you made a Shades of Grey card 'cause I KNEW you didn't read that book, lol But then I did and my mind is eternally in the gutter ever since..ok, it was before I read it! Anyway...lol..I love the pincushion dress form, so cute what you've done with it. Now are you going to decorate the chain for your glasses? Oh, and you asked howI attached the tube under my shelf....with LOTS of hot glue!Thanks for visiting my desk, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
Ooh fab desk this week BJ, tee hee ref the glasses chain - what a brilliant idea honey.
I love your 'shades, ahem!!' card, so very very effective and beautifully crafted. Ha ha I haven't read it either sweetie but then again I'm an Anne Rice fan and I doubt it could best her Beauty trilogy in any way at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huge hugs x x x x
Oh what fun that card is, it looks so elegant while having the underlying meaning! Haven't read the books either. Love the eyeglasses chain, that is so clever... would never have thoguht of it! Annette ~18
Hi Bj thanks for stopping by earlier - you asked about the Gelli plate ? Its about A4 sized, 10mm thick strange soft gel like clear block. You brayer arcylic paint onto it - press on masks, stencils, draw patterns (nothing sharp that will indent the plate) then place paper over it & rub gently & the design is printed onto the paper. Clean with baby wipes ! just playing now but hoping to create some nice background papers/ tags etc ! Ali #19
Happy WOYWW what a great workspace. Lots of stash and wonderful projects - thanks for sharing...Gill x (#97)
What a lovely post. You have some gorgeous new stash there to play with, what a wonderful surprise to receive it. I had to smile at your "scrappage" what a great word, must remember that one and the shades of grey card is gorgeous.
Happy WOYWW

PS I finally got the tape glider to work and am getting used to it now.x
Sounds like you've been having fun! The stash of goodies you go from The Stamp Attic looks great, and the card for your aunt is gorgeous. Blessings!
BJ what an awesome post! So much to see!! I love the glasses chain, so inventive! And the card is gorgeous. I keep hearing about these "grey" books and have no idea what the deal is with them. I have to find out more.
I have the same wood dress form. I usually use her to model jewelry for me. She is "dressed" in white. Maybe some colorful flowers would be good!
Congratulations on your new goodies!
