WOYWW First Timer

Hi, my name is Jan and I'm a paper junkie!  This is my first time attending the What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday linky party.  For some time, now, I've been reading the blogs of others who were participating in WOYWW and decided it was time I come clean and share some of my messy habits.

I do have a "studio", well, it's more like an extra bedroom but it has lots of stuff in it and a worktable.......that right now looks like this........

I HAD to take a picture!  It is soooooo tidy and BARE!  Not to worry, I've just moved my stuff and set up in the living room..................

  really it is the dinning table at the end of the living room.  The truth is .....I usually have a mess on both tables! 

I like the living room because in the evening the pellet stove makes it warm and cozy, the T.V. is on and that's where hubby and the fur babies are....I don't want to be left out.  If, I have something really messy to do, I go into my craft room to spray and/or sling paint.

I'm not leaving this area until I show you my turquoise chandelier, I'm so proud of, while many are appalled that I would paint this brass beauty.....in my world "it rocks"!

Needless to say, it gives off a lot of light, which is pretty helpful at night. 

So, what I'm working on is an altered book about "Hats"!  I found and old photo album at a flea market and through the years I've collect lots of vintage photos of men and women from the late 1890 and the early 1900 wearing these incredible hats.  That was a period where every woman wore a fashionable hat with flowers, ribbons or feathers....some hats had all three!  Not to be out done, men had and would wear hats for all occasions, as well.  I'm hoping to preserve some of the "style".

This page will be "Easter Bonnets" and the page with the dance program will be "Party Hats".

Here are the two sides of the one page I have completed..... completed meaning, the stuff is glued down! 

Women of the world.......setting off for exotic places with their "Travel Bonnets" on and their pass ports in their pocket.

The backside of Travel will face Easter bonnets....thus the Easter theme!
