What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Thailand & Happy Chinese New Year!

 

Every Wednesday, I join the "What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday" link party and show everyone what project I've been doing for the week. There's no crafting going on this week because I've just gotten back from a trip to Bangkok, Thailand, and the rest of the time, I've been visiting blogs in the One World One Heart event, where everyone offers a giveaway to bloggers who visit and leave a comment.  Have you joined my OWOH giveaway?  Or would you like to join in the fun of offering a giveaway?  It's not too late!  Just follow the instructions in this post.

On my desk today are some of my finds from Bangkok.  
A little zippered bag with a cute flower...

some handpainted wooden critters...

and a crocheted ring.

While in Bangkok, it was the Chinese New Year...

Happy Chinese New Year!  

If you would like to join in the fun of WOYWW or take a peek at other desks, drop by Julia's Stamping Ground!

    Peggy,

    Like you, I have been visiting OWOH entrants. But unlike you, I haven't been to Bangkok. I am in total awe of the wooden pieces. They are SO colorful and really look like Chinese New Year. Is it over, now? It seems like 11 days have gone quickly, if it has. Happy WOYWW.
