Good morning, crafty friends!
First off, Happy Retirement to our leader, Sarah. Be prepared to be busier than you were when you were working. ;-)
Now for my quiet desk:
Stamp sets from the tag I made for #Tagtuesday, the ribbons I chose from and the newly cleaned scissors.
Seems we've been on the go a lot lately. I'm looking forward to being home for at least a couple of days.
One day a week I take a ME day. I go into town and sit at my favorite coffee shop - usually with my planners. But I made the decision this week to only take one thing - a book.
I read one book a week to spotlight the author and review their book on my author channel. I decided I'm taking an older book with me instead of my planners. Not one I need to review but one I want to read. I have a 5-shelf book case in my bedroom of books to be read. When I've finished the book, I put half the cover price (NOT the price I paid - which was usually .10 - .25 each) into my book journal envelope. I figure by the time I've read all 360 books, I should have quite a nest egg.
What about you? Are you a reader? What do you like to read.
That's it for my desk (and story)
this week. Who's Miss Sarah and why am I here?
When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Sarah’sCraft Shed for all the details. Miss Sarah has a long list of other studios you
can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We
open the doors wide and welcome you.
Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.
Creative Blessings!

Sounds a lovely idea to have a ME day. And I like the kind of ME day you have sitting in a cafe with a book and just reading. I have some friends (three of them) who do something like that on a regular basis near to where they live. They take their mini journals and work on them in a cafe whilst having a cuppa or two.
ReplyDeleteKeep havilng the ME days.

the ME day sounds great - I used to read tons, and have thousands of books (can't bear to get rid of them) and lots that are waiting to be read... seem to have got out of the habit. Happy WOYWW Helen #3

ReplyDeleteNice to have clean scissors and no I don't really read these days. Hugs Bj#1
ReplyDeleteI like your me day and your fund. I’m currently absorbed by Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache novels, though I shall have to get back into my own writing soon, as my creative writing class term starts soon. I’m still featuring France in my writing.
ReplyDeleteI adore the idea of perching on Ann upturned milk pail to peer into people’s desks ❤️
Have a good week, hugs

I love a quiet coffee reading my Kindle Kelly. Love the idea of a me day. I will reread books all the time and like particular authors. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
