This weekend, I found myself in the mood to craft. Actually, the original plan was to sort through and pare down a few supplies during a read-a-thon break, but I soon found myself distracted by all of the pretty things I pulled out of the boxes! Before long, I was designing things in my head and decided to make a bookmark for a friend. The finished product is before you!
In case you’re wondering What’s On My Desk This Week – I am not the only one in the house who is mesmerized by crafty items. I left the items out and came back in time to see Legend crouched on the couch, ready to launch himself like a cannonball right smack into the middle of my crafting supplies! The paparazzi was on hand to catch a few shots – it’s the topic of this week’s Wordless Wednesday post – so stop by for the full scoop! Here a preview of what awaits you:

Lovely bookmarks! Bet your friend will love it 🙂 your cats really cute jules
OOPs, I landed on your Wordless Wednesday post, don’t know how…found this one now…LOVE your cat, I think I need a desk ornament like that too…He really is gorgeous.
Hi Joy
that tag is really lovely and I think you were meant to stop sorting and have a play so you could make this great tag.
I love how all these cats think they can craft as well so many people find them on their desks
Happy WOYWW #204 and enjoy the rest of your week

I love making bookmarks, but I can never seem to find them when I need them 🙂 There is a really cute origami corner one that you might like. LMK if you can’t find it via Google and I see if I still have a link. Not as much space to decorate, but it works really well. My DS loves his 🙂
Happy WOYWW! Getting an early start, for me 🙂

I’ve seen some beautiful corner ones too – I never think about those when I sit down to craft – thanks for the reminder!
I think I prefer the traditional ones, though – less likely to fall out of my book! 🙂
Love the tag, and the shot of your desk with Legend on it is great. What a gorgeous cat! Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #81
Hi Joy – I too love making bookmarks as gifts for friends… boy ones can be very challenging – I love your “thingy” squares – I remember them being called something but the word escapes me – such is the growing old”er” memory LOL.
Am new to WOYWW – looking forward to seeing lots of creations and inspiring projects – cheers Mxx #83
