yes, it's morning here, and I know, most of you probably already enjoy their afternoon tea. I'm still at my first cup of coffee!
So here's my desk this morning:
I'm decorating those paper mache pumpkins that glow in such a nice orange. I painted them with acrylic paint and now am going to decoupage them with all those little paper squares I'm currently cutting. I have no idea whether this will work out, I've never done this before. So it might be a disaster, it might be nice. We'll see.
If you want to peek at work desks around the world, hop on over to Julia's blog to find more!
I would love to see the result when you're done.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!

Your workspace looks like so much fun--wish I could drop by and do a project with you! Your pumpkin photos are great too!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your pumpkins are gonna be a work of HeART!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. The orange color looks like pumpkin pie. I was going to link up to WOYWW and got as far as taking a photo of my desk, then got side tracked with a different thought, then a neighbor stopped by and that was that. Maybe next week. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project! Your pumpkins look bright and beautiful already and I think it'll work out just fine.

ReplyDeleteCarola - I hope you don't mind me asking this, but when I just came to your blog for the first time, like i do everytime i visit a new blog, I read the blog owners profile... I noticed that you said you lived with your husband - you've put that he's geek - is that meant to say greek - or is he really a geek !!! I hope you don't mind me saying - but it made me smile - whether its meant to say it or not LOL
Thanks for coming to my blog and leaving a comment..!!!
