WOYWW 226 In a rush!

What's on my worktop? A bit of rushed activity that's what, so please excuse the rushed photo. Why the rush? - I'm off to Italy at the weekend and I'm trying to get a journal ready! So why am I at my computer showing you a photo? - because I just love being part of Julia's happy family of desk sharers(see here for details)
The desk
I'm using the last small moleskin in the pack along with some Crafty Individuals papers and pics, lots of inks, some stamps all of which are around my desk. At the back of the desk you will see my Kaisercraft letters(my fave at the moment)or rather you can see two sets propped up - one is minus the 'y' which went missing in action last week. Came back after lunch and - GONE!! - searched everywhere! Fortunately I was able to buy a new set at Happy Stampers at the weekend and if the missing in letter turns up I have at least a spare set (minus mr y) to take away to the caravan. 
The journal is open so that ink can dry - want a quick look?
A bit of masking, and monochrome stamping as well as the ghosting stamping with a torn CI page taped in. Still a way to go and I'll be back in two weeks to show you some more!

 Off now to add some some more then to tackle the ironing - Rita's on holiday!!! 

 See you later, Chris

    Lucky, lucky you! Italy is just my favourite place! That peep in your journal is sooo tantalizing! The colours and images look gorgeous! Have a lovely time and thank you so much for the visit. We are back from the Globe Theatre now and it was terrific. The costumes have inspired a project, all those lovely textures and muted colours - fabulous! Julie Ann xx #56

    It was nice to see you too Chris, even though only briefly, on Saturday. I spent most of the day chatting. Nothing new there.
    Love your journal pages, gorgeous backgrounds - how did you do them? Hope we get a real close up soon.
    Take care and hope the "y" turns up.
    Hugs, Neet xx 23

    Well, I feel quite rushed now reading that. I hope you get all that you needed done before you take off so that your can enjoy your stay more. Darn that Mister Y for going AWOL. You never know what odd place he'll show up at. Great journal!

    I think stamps have legs, a bit like pens! They just vanish, then return, and you've never moved from the spot so how else can they disappear so effectively ;) Have a fab, fab time in Italy

    Have a brilliant time Chris, hope you got the wonderful journal finished and you can take it with you and record your lovely trip. I lost my favourite Christmas sentiment form a set, it's never turned up and the company are no longer in business so I can't replace it.

    Hugs
