Here's the busy mess around our living room table this Wednesday morning. In the front you can see my younger sons knees, as he is playing with the tablet he bought for his Christmas money. As usual I've spread my stuff around the sofa... But you might spot that I've cleaned the piles from above the white drawer and if you had the ability for x-ray zooming, you would see a significant change in some drawers. I've had a lovely mojo week: finished of the stuff I had going, and done several cards and cleaned some places. The mittens have changed into socks. You might spot a pile of stencils behind those shoeboxes... Last night I realized I've forgotten to do the mail art on envelopes for the cards I've finished during the past few weeks. If it's done straight away, it doesn't take any time at all, since the related stencils and stamps are already out, now I took the pile of ready made stuff and went to work... it took maybe 15 min, and the results are really satisfying:
My daughters got some new shoes last week, and I planned to empty some of my stash in them. (The part that needs to be "dashed" as someone put it on last weeks posts). I have one still left to use for that, since the other one already houses books: a couple waiting to be altered some day and a few, that I plan to rip up. Like I sayed last week, I went around some cupboards at work, and got some math/science books :)
Thanks for visiting, leave comments if you wish, and go and peek somewhere else! You can find the other desks here. Have fun!

I loved your cards and matching envelopes!!! I try to remember to do that too, with varying degrees of success, lol! You're so right that if you do them at the same time, everything is already out!
VastaaPoistaHappy Crafting!

Hi Kristina, happy WOYWW. Well done with the matching parts to the cards...you're prompting me to remember to do this as it is one of my new years resolutions, I think it's a fabulous idea, your cards are super. Cheers RobynO#51
VastaaPoistaGreat books for altering and ripping apart! I'd better look around in my parents attic next time - perhaps they kept some of my old school books! Absolutely gorgeous cards Kristiina! I love that lime green stenciling! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #47
VastaaPoistaA great idea to alter old textbooks...that is a book I would not feel bad about messing up lol. Love the nice pile of cards :) you are busy! Happy WOYWW Shel#56
VastaaPoistaI have real trouble in cutting up books, no matter how old they are or how tatty, as I was always taught to treat them with great care. I am curious to see what you do with those you have. Thank you for your visit and I hope your sort out continues to go well. xx Maggie #27
VastaaPoistaWell done for finishing off your projects so well! Though I'd very much like to see the mittens that turned into socks :-). Hope you have another productive week!
VastaaPoistaHugs, LLJ 29 xx
I'm okay if someone gives me pages from a book but to actually pull papers myself hmm I don't know maybe one day I will brave enough. Thanks for sharing your creative space. Anita #66
VastaaPoistaYour cards are beautiful and I love the envelopes that go with them. It sounds like you are getting organised for the new year, those books are going to be great to alter. Have fun!

Hi Kristiina, thanks for the visit. Those old maths books are great. Think I would work in them as they are rather than remove the pages. Love your greeting cards, very pretty. Happy crafting, Angela x 33
VastaaPoistaThe mittens have changed to socks....brilliant! I agree about the mail art part of the making, and very satisfying that even going back to do it it didn't take too long...worth it, they all look great.
VastaaPoistaYour cards are beautiful and matching envelopes are too, I should try that.
VastaaPoistaHappy Wednesday
