WOYWW #209 (updated with more happy mail)

Hello and welcome!

Firstly I've got to say a very big thank you! to everyone who has swapped WOYWW anniversary ATCs with me - it has been such a pleasure to receive so much happy mail!

Here is a pic of the ones I've had so far and I know there are more to come.



So in order from left to right - Hugs and thanks to... BJ, Cindy, Mo, Buttons, Sandra and Marit - I love them all!

Update - just had a visit from Mr Postie with more happy mail...


So -  from right to left thanks and hugs to Ria (tag and ATC) and those crafty Bears!

Secondly, and the whole reason you're here, is the question "what's on your workdesk?"  The answer I'm afraid is - not a lot. I'm about to start work on my June Tim Tag so I've pulled out some watercolour paper, a tag and some stamps but that's as far as I've got. Any way here's my desk pic...


Top right you can see the art journal page I started in class last night - the background was made using Distress Paints - for me the jury is still out on these - I'm not yet convinced enough to make the investment.

But speaking of art journals, these are the finished versions of the pages I posted a month ago...






The stamped images on the orange pages are the Jofy stamps I won on the Craft Stamper magazine blog hop earlier this year.

And finally, you remember the faces I was drawing last week? Well, here is my finished journal page using one of my Whimsy Girl drawings...


I'll be posting some more pics of this tomorrow as I'm going to enter it in the Sunday Stampers Challenge.

That's all from me for now, enjoy your Wednesday.

    Oh now that's a FAB way to display your ATCs, and one we will be trying to achieve across our desk too. Your ATC from the bears is winging its way to you right now.

    Love your journal pages too.

    Hugs from the bears @#85 this week

    Wow - you have been busy - and as for not much on the desk....looks like an extremely active desk to me! Mine only has a sewing machine and pile of fabric this morning.
    Have a great week.

    Your journal pages are lovely! Great backgrounds and images etc. I am LOVING the Distress Paints, as they are just like what we are used to with the inks and stains. I like the smooth feel of them after they dry and they are easy to clean off my hands. Maybe try one in your favorite color? I see you got lots of fun ATC's. Hope to try this next year. What fun!

    Oh how I love your art journal pages. That is gorgeous work! Thanks for visiting me--you've inspired me to try making some gift bags. I'm just so obsessed with the envelopes right now! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #100

    Gorgeous journal pages, I've been so inspired by the croppers to start one. Love the ATC's. I'm with you on the Distress paints. I love Tims stuff, and colours, but I have a whole drawer full of 'normal' acrylic paints, I can't justify buying his. I'm just going to water down the ones I have & see what happens. Have a great week, Hugs Shaz xx #33

    Hi Maisie, I looked up what stencil it was, good thing I didn't throw the packaging out yet... It's a pronty stencil (pronty.nl) called spirograph.
