WOYWW 222 (Three Little Ducks!)

Morning Everyone!

Bit of a lie in today - the last one of the Summer holidays as Callum goes back to school tomorrow!  Has it been 6 weeks already????

Here is my first WOYWW photo, the before shot......


Mess, mess and more mess!  This is the mayhem left behind after making Tim Holtz a thank you present and after finishing off making my August 12 Tags of 2013 tag.  Oh what fun I had as you can see!!!  If you want to see what fun we had with Tim when he visited us in the UK I have posted about it here, here and here!  I was very excited as you can tell from the 3 posts!!


Here is my desk after a quick tidy - I now have room to finish off my tag book that we made at the workshop - I will share photos when it is finished.  In shot is also my Art Journal as I want to make another video.

I uploaded the video from my 12 Tags of 2013 series last night.  I have been making a video of each of my tags this year.  I thought it would be a fun way to share.  It is fun to see how I go from Tim's inspiration to my interpretation.  I love to see all the creativity that his challenge inspires in everyone that plays along.  I will post that in my next post.


Here is the tag that I gave to Tim - I popped a smaller tag in the pocket (don't know why I didn't photograph it!!!) to say thank you for all the 12 Tags fun.


....here is the other side!  Now as you scrolled down you may have noticed I have Pinterest buttons!  I have taken the buttons off the photos of my mess but kept them on things I think folk might want to pin.  This is my new found blog skill!  I feel quite techie now ;-)  Always something new to learn.  I thought I would include these tag photos here so I could give you the link to the 'How to do it'.  You need to be a bit careful because you are playing with the HTML code (scary) but I managed it first time so I think most people could.  Hope you find it useful.  TIP.  As I copied in the code I wrote down the line numbers so I could delete the code easily if I messed it up!!!

That's it from me - off to have a late breakfast and then back for some desk hopping!!! If you don't know what desk hopping is then follow this link to the WOYWW hub to find out more - It's great fun and you meet lots of lovely crafters along the way.

Happy WOYWW to you and thank you for popping by X

  3. I am sure Tim loved it! It is so lovely and I always love the details and care you put into your work. I am smiling and thinking your little I heart tags of 2013 should be a bumper sticker!! Thanks for the visit today! Enjoy the week ahead! Winnie#69

  5. Hi Helen,

    Thanks for visiting, and things often fall off the desk but not me so far, I just fall over stash! I am so jealous that you went to a Tim Holtz workshop, they are always so far away from me, maybe one day.....and you met Mario too!
    I looked at the three posts, and your tag is gorgeous!

  8. Hi Helen, Sorry we didn't meet up too, never mind, just paged through your 3 posts of the day and it is great to see it all form another angle. I'm nabbed the photo of Jayne from PI as she was a real lifesaver for me and the headache on the day. Thanks for the visit BJ#16

  9. Hi Helen, yes it's a pity we didn't meet - I was on the morning workshop but spent some time with Rita, Annie and Alison (and some others) feel free to take the photos from my blog - at least if there is ever another occasion we'd know who to look for!! Don't know whether I'll have the stamina for staying on the phone for so long though - only got through at 3.45 with about 6 places left!! Great transformation of your desk and love your tag BTW!! Chris 105 ps thanks for visiting
