What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: My Travel Journal

My desk is again in a whole mess so I took a picture of a just a small part of it (the only part where you can actually see the desk)...


... where, among other things, you can see a wonderful pile of ATCs I won in Sniisk's ATC lottery on ATCs for ALL and my travel journal which I am trying to finish (I didn't have time on the trip so I just kept notes to remind me of where we went and what we did.)

And since Neet already received my PIF for the WOYWW 2nd Anniversary, I can finally share with you the post I deleted when I realized I wasn't supposed to reveal what I was giving away...

"To celebrate WOYWW's 2nd anniversary, I made a set of ATCs, one for each letter...
Do you see the "W"?...
 the "O"?...
 the "Y"?...
 another "W"?...
  and still another "W"?

 Put them all together, and you'll have the WOYWW international village, where, on Wednesdays, bloggers from all over the world ask each other, "What's on your workdesk?"


If you look really closely into the windows, you will see little pictures of actual desks (pictures posted on the week I made my ATCs).  It's hard to see from these pictures but Julia's window (on the 4th card) has a little golden crown (because she's the Queen of WOYWW).

And this ATC set was my "Pay it Forward" gift to Neet who came next to me on the WOYWW 2nd Anniversary list.  For more desks joining in the fun of WOYWW, check out the Julia's Stamping Ground!

    Oh Peggy - I never realised there was such a story to my ATC's. They were wonderful but are even more so now that you have told me all of this. Really is Oh WOW! And so a big big THANK YOU to you. Hugs, Neet x

    Oh WOW! Those ATCS are stunning! I missed the anniversary, sadly, and I expect I'll miss the next one as it comes in term time...but what a wonderful PIF, I do feel inspired to do a set of ATCS like that, now.

    Thank you for giving the link to that ATC site; I will be checking it out! As I was reading your post, I thought how clever it is that you made an ATC for each letter of WOYWW, but then when you put them all together to make a village...well, that is truly inspired! What a great PiF! Happy WOYWW!

    This is gorgeous!! I like your travel journal too, you have such lovely handwriting. You stopped by my blog and asked what was the surface on my workdesk-it's tissuepaper that I mod podged to it years ago. It was a summer project. (It's a big table!) Take care!

I'm so glad to hear from you! Thank you so much for dropping by and taking time to leave me a comment! Be blessed!
