What's on My Workdesk Wednesday 271? Page Layout and Snail Mail

Welcome to my desk in Cape Town, South Africa.  I have been AWOL for a few weeks while life got the better of me...Now I am BACK!

The last time I joined in two weeks ago There was a half dressed steampunk dress form at my desk...now she is finished and living in my lounge where I see her every time I walk down my passage.
On my desk is the page I will be teaching in September.  This is going to take a while to kit up as I used 7 different dies and two alphabet dies!  My Vagabond is going to be working overtime!
Then yesterday I got two snailmail letters in my post box, one from Hettiecraft and the other from Christine.  It would seem that the African snail is a speedy eater!  The one envelope was clearly tasty and got some what demolished on one corner...takes snailmail to a new height!
So this is me for this week, now I am off to see what you have to show me on your desk.

  2. That dress form is sooooooooo gorgeous, I love it. Bet you get a Greg sense of satisfaction every time you walk past it!
    Blimey, those snails must have been hungry, lol! I've never had that problem with the post in the UK :-)

  12. Urgh kitting....
    So lovely to see you back, I sincerely hope that you've got the better of that life thing that has kept you away from us!!

  13. Hi Bella,

    I love how your metal lady turned out. Very cool! I'm impressed that you have the page already made for the September class. You are one organized chic!

    Yes, I really was lucky to go to Dyan's class. Honestly, I didn't even know who Tim Holtz was until I started joining in on WOYWW and saw his name all over the place! Dyan was full of life and a speedy teacher. I definitely got my money's worth. The class was in Santa Fe, NM, only about a 30 minute drive for me. Another bonus! On my sidebar is a photo of us. She bought the turquoise necklace on this trip and I must say it looks great on her!

    Today I'm off work so hoping to get around to at least those that have visited me so far.

    Happy WOYWW
    Peace, Kay (14)

  16. wow your dress form is fabulous it would make me smile every time I walk passed it or maybe I'd have to stop and stroke it.

  17. I love your steam punk mannequin. I'd be smiling every time I saw her too and I love the detail on the back as well. What naughty snails you have over there, it must have been really tasty. The fact it was eaten so quickly could be a little bit worrying, don't sit in the garden too long or they might start munching on you!
    Have a great week,

    I often wonder what happens to the mail, it would be great to have a little camera attached to it LOL!

  20. Like the layout so far, love the dress form, and LOL! at the nibbled mail! I wish I could get perspective on the size of the dress form - I'm guessing small but oh WOW wouldn't it be totally fab full size? :)

  27. Your dress form is amazing. I think your vagabond is made for the task (I always hear such good things). SBS stands for "sketchbook skool" and online class that started this year. Have a lovely week.
