So my desk is full
and I mean full
of half finished things at the moment...
I am adding my work to the front of all of these journals
so they can go Into The Collective Store
and of course some will be used as Christmas presents...
I have three line drawings
from yesterday
a clivia..
a ginger... and some Frangipani..
which are all in bloom around the neighbourhood
making everything smell summery...
I am hoping to get to add some colour to them later today...
or at least make a start
I have done a border on a journal page...
which I have idea how I am going to fill...
just wanted to do some painting
in summery colours
Maybe I will fill it with one of these cute little girls from over at
Manon has generously posted an outline on her blog for
everyone to play with...
head on over and have a look
and if you have some time... head over to
for a little desk stalking...
my favourite Wednesday activity!!!

awesome border for the journals! I would imagine all the gift recipients will be so very happy to get them! It is horribly cold here today and to think 3 months ago I was whining about the 40c days! Hope you have a great week. Merry Christmas! Vickie aka Okienurse

That is a terrific idea for gifts Tracey! Thanks for the tip. Your space is so sunny and bright:) The border looks wonderful. That would make a great picture frame! Love coming to your blog.

As usual, stunning drawings! And lucky whoever that receives one of your journals. Your desk looks tidy and ready for action - go for it! :)
Tracey, your workspace looks fabulous. i love those holders you have for your pens, brushes, etc. Just where they should be - at arms length. Love it. Your journal page "border" looks great!! your colours are always so vibrant & alive. (I'm guessing your personality is similar). :-)
Thanks for the link to all those great desk spaces! So much fun... xoxo
What a nice looking desk. And just love your drawings. The picture frame brought a little sunshine to my gloomy day today.

Those journals on your desk will be loved gifts - how do I know? My box of giveaway goodness from you arrived today!!! The journals, the cards, the extra dose of sun - it made my day!!!!! Australian mail is fast- I didn't expect it this soon.
Oh I wish I was on your Christmas list! Hint hint. Those journals look awesome! I have a big potted Clivia right by my front door and every year when it blooms it gives such pleasure.
