WOYWW - A new journal

Hello there, did you know it's only 19 weeks until Christmas now? Bet you're glad to have a furry friend to inform you of such things!!!

Moving swiftly on before I get lynched for mentioning such things, did you know it's Wednesday today? Of course you did, and as it's Wednesday that means we have yet another chance to peek at the workdesks of crafters worldwide, thanks to Julia at Stamping Ground. Check out the link, take a picture of your desk and join in, it's fun and addictive too.

This week I have a special present from Wilbear, a new journal, just for me. I've coveted the Dylusions journal since it was first available, and Wilbear decided to buy it for me. How lovely. Here I am ready to play.




The old spiral journal is underneath the new, this is my ravaged calendar journal that I trashed in a previous post. I was about to create a page in it, but I shall now use my Dylusions for large pages, and of course the lovely handmade journal you can see to the right for smaller pages. It's fun to have both sizes for variety. To the back you can see my latest sketch.

It's all disgustingly tidy this week, isn't it?

With love from the bears

  6. Have fun in your new Dylusions Journal - you're going to love it! Dyan has brought out a smaller journal http://shop.afth.co.uk/dylusions---small-creative-journal-10157-p.asp designed to work with her spray inks. Think I might ask Father Christmas for one of those. Have a good week, thanks for your visit. MMx #83

  10. We can leave Christmas out of it for a bit longer huh?
    Great to have different sizes of journals to play in. Been thinking along those same lines, as I only have a 9 x 12 right now and is a little large at times.
    Have a great week!

  12. Most envious of the journal, my Dad is going to the US in October going to add it to his shopping list see if it works. I enlarged the picture to peek at your sketch, yes you are doing well, are you practicing each day? thats what it takes I'm afraid, and I have been doing it two years in October, (but then, I have no natural talent, all hard work).

    thanks for visiting me, and all your encouraging bear words.

  23. Happy WOYWW. Christmas - I made my first card in January and been dabbling on and off since then. Must really get on and try to get a card done every day like I did last year - want to get lots made for charity. I love the ideal of a journal - and have been printing off digital pages to make up into a book. Ali x #56

  24. Actually, it's BEARY tidy, not disgustingly tidy. I can't believe Christmas is so close. I guess it's time to BEAR that in mind. Too many BEAR references? Never at your house (grin). Happy BEARY WOYWW from #1.

  25. You are a lucky little bear, getting such a lovely journal to play with and it's an excellent idea to have journals of all different sizes for different projects. Clever little bear, even if you did mention the "C" word.
    Have a great week of playing.
