Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

WOYWW?, WITBW?, WITBFW?

Full of acronyms this week, think I have caught Acronymitus from Julia the Dame of Acronyms!

So... WOYWW mmmmmmm....... well it did have a project on it that is a WIP (OMG another (and another!)!) for a DT challenge, so I wasn't quite ready to show it yet, so was going to hide it. Well I was saved from any chance of you seeing  because when I went in to take a photo look what I found....

Meet Gordon!


WITBW ?

Obviously that stands for 'What's In The Box Wednesday'

Its the box that my latest stash from The Altered Element Design Team came in, plus some extra bits that I have put in there to use on the project ie the stick.... and the spool of gold thread that I picked up for a £ from Scrapbox. Other than that there are some gorgeous stamps and some fantasy film and loads of bits and pieces you cant see.

oh and I took this photo of the other side of my desk, savour this photo because you may never see such a sight again

SPACE!
and finally ......

WITBFW

Whats In The Back Field Wednesday

We have just been lucky enough to be able to purchase part of the field behind our house - hence the Chooks, we are also very lucky that the rest of the field was bought by a chap who works for a local Animal Rescue Centre, he often has different animals on there, at the moment we have two gorgeous white horses and a foal.... altogether now... ahhhhhhh....

oh can i add another acronym?

WOMSDW
(whats on my sons desk wednesday_)

well not on his desk in the house but on a table in his shed.. Edward and his mate had an adventure in the woods and found this great treasure.... a birds wing (obviously)
can anyone identify it?
Its about 16" long and 8"wide, I have been told it could be a collared dove or a wood pidgeon, but I think its a bit too big for that?? any ideas? (sorry if you were eating your breakfast but at least I didnt show you the dead hedgehog)


Oh that's not quite it, you may have noticed that above this post and on my side bar is a very unsubtle mention that I am doing a bungee jump in aid of The Camille Appeal, please have a read and if you can manage to spare a £ or two it would be very much appreciated


Thank you

    What a tidy work area this week. You really clean up good (GRIN). Bleubeard is jealous of Gordon. Not only does he NOT get a pillow, he doesn't get to sit on any furniture. But it's great that you got that extra land.

    As for the bird, I would say it's something BIG (grin). Have a great Wednesday with no more acronyms.

    I have a picture of a dead baby hedgehog. Probably disturbing to some but to me he looked like he was just sleeping....
    boo hoo
    ANYWAY! OMG (acronym there)...did I tell you I can never get enough of looking at your desk???
    All the very best for your bungy leap (we invented it here in NZ - did you know that?) I hope you raise loads of cash for that beautiful child.
    PS. and btw (yes, I must also have acronymitist?) I'm back...I've just updated my blog and I think you'll like the video link!
    Love Debs

    Gordon looks so comphy ...is he TOTALLY black?
    Love your space ...all those wooden boxes ...they look quite old ...and that stash in the cardboard box just screams to be fiddled with.

    I did shudder for a second on seeing that wing ..totally detached from a body ...I agree that it is too big for any pigeon ...turkey springs to mind as there are a lot of short feathers and their wings are not very big ....just a stab in the dark as I know very little about birds

    Oh no too many acronyms, too many cute pictures - help !!!!!

    Love those horses, can you see them from your house? How wonderful.

    As for the wing - maybe not so cute !!! Is it a pidgeon's wing?

    Hugs
