WOYWW #119?

Yes, I think so.  I think it is definitely #119.

What's on my desk this week is a pile of layouts which I have been forging through in an attempt to use up as much stash as possible because I can feel a SHOP coming on.  There are lots of luverly things I want, and don't need AT ALL, such as some Lily Bee and some Cosmo Cricket and some Kaisercraft Christmas doodads. 

So I've photographed them, and here you are, and it serves you right for clicking on my link cos now you have to look at them.

(No cheating now, you're not allowed to cover your eyes or hide under the table.)

First one is a holiday photo, and I've used one of the WRMK kits I picked up in TK Maxx for 3p - or something silly.  With an album.  I kid you not.  (Well, I think it was a fiver, all in.)

Now, I've been looking at all these LOs and thinking 'Hmm....what does that need?'  And I have a theory which proves true time and time again - that when you see your work on screen, about to reveal itself to other people, the missing element suddenly becomes obvious.  That one up there needs some doodling.

The next one needs a bit of yellow ribbon on the left, there.

...and three buttons on the bottom right.  Trust me...:D

Next one!  I made this with the acetate shapes created here.

Bit of a rubbish photo, actually, but I feel this one needs no additions.  Unlike the following:

I'm struggling a bit with this one, but I think it needs some more vertical/horizontal accents.

Then there's this one, which DEFinitely needs something but I really don't know what.  My instinct is to put a vertical line down the right third, but this would bisect the big photo and I don't want to do that.

The next one uses lots of leftovers, I was a bit worn out by the time I did the title....sorry about that!

(I always like the look of these Western/surfing/ranchy woody campy type papers, but they always end up looking like gravy when I make a page with them...)

Anyway.  Just one more.  You must be getting fed up, even I'm bored.

I think this is the one I like best.  ALL sorts of leftovers on here which I picked up off my desk. 

Youngest got in BIIIIIIG trouble after I printed these photos off because I left the photo viewer open on my laptop and Visible Teenager saw that Youngest had been mowing the grass whilst wearing Visible Teenager's shoes!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately Visible Teenager is a bit odd and I can never make up my mind whether I should have had him looked at.  I worry sometimes that he's got a touch of Aspergers - not least because of the way he overreacts to random things.  The other day he got very angry with Youngest for walking around with no top on, and threatened to hit him.  I asked if he would be hitting his student housemates when he starts at Uni next week, and he said, without a trace of irony - Yes.

Visible Teenager says he's looking forward to going to Uni, and when I asked him today if he was perhaps a bit anxious about it - last night he yelled at me for refusing to get out of the bath so that he could use the loo, when there's another one downstairs; then he kept Youngest awake all night by shouting at him whenever he started snoring or sleeptalking - he gave it a few moments' thought and said - No.

I don't believe him, and on Sunday we'll be driving down to Portsmouth with whatever supplies and home comforts I can afford to buy him, in view of the fact that my grant hasn't come through yet......D:

In the meantime, have a hop over to Julia's blog where all this snoopy prying started, and get a look at all the other lovely workspaces.

You're early! Loving your LO's. They're fab and I'm digging the fresh modern vibes! Mr. Teenager sounds very normal,territorial and hormonal to me. Sigh such is life in 2011.

Fantastic LO´s on your crafting desk. Wonderful. I love them all.
Happy WOYWW. Sandy #1

It's because he's nervous about uni that he's being snappy - similar scenario chez LLJ (mine's off to Cardiff). Love your layouts even though I wouldn't know where to begin with one!! LOL. LLJ xx Good luck in Portsmouth xx

[NatashaMay]

These layouts are just gorgeous! I wish I had the patience to make something like this. :) Looks like you have your hands full with your teenagers. :)

What super LO's, I'm so far behind with mine that I need a darn good nudge to get going. Enjoyed your post, Happy WOYWW!

[Brenda B]

I'm betting it's uni nerves too, but he doesn't want to admit it! Love all the LO's but I'll leave it up to you to decide if they need anything more!

Gorgeous layouts.

[Angie (shozzy)]

What a lot of LO's ...all brilliant as they so suit the photos....as for teenagers ..and moods.... I do think his behavoir is a mix of hormones and Uni nevrves ...I'd only be concerned if this is how he always behaves ...or continues to behave after 3 months or so of Uni. God Luck with him lol

[Carola Bartz]

These are some really lovely layouts - they all look fabulous and I like them a lot.

[Bleubeard and ELizabeth]

Well, I'm obviously NO GOOD at composition, so I'm no help at all. See, I think they look lovely.

Happy belated WOYWW.

Awesome LO's! Sorry I am so late getting by this week but I wanted to pop by and visit your blog to say hello and to see what you are up to! Didn't have the time to post(except about newest Doswell addition) or craft the past two weeks due to being in Virginia visiting with the son's family to see the newest granddaughter born. Definitely a fun time none the less. Hope you have a great week. Vickie aka okienurse

[Neet]

Hope he is just suffering with nerves and your fears are unfounded. Guess what? They go worse at times as they get even older. Wait till he gets a partner/wife!
Great LO's - esp the first one.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for visiting my blog. Hugs, Neet x
