What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Blessings in the Mail!

I'm not going to start my post with exclamations of how fast the week went.  I'm not.  Really, I'm not.  But did you notice how fa... oops!

Well it's Wednesday once again and still no work in progress on my desk.  I am still trying to organize after my trip abroad (I will share some pictures soon, hopefully!)
 

When I got home, I found not just one, not just two, but three blessings in the mail waiting for me!


My WOYWW Anniversary PIF finally arrived - A lovely, brightly colored journal that Sarah of La-De-Dah made specially for me! Look how the colors match my blog!  Sarah has a Mojo Monthly feature in her blog that has projects, interviews (and a giveaway).  If you haven't yet, drop by her blog for some great inspiration!

And here is the book I won in The Weekend Artist's blog giveaway.


I just love how this book has little envelopes, maps and cards included in it...


It arrived in a big box with a bunch of scrapbooking embellishments!  Wonderful!


And I also won one of Laura's wonderful Artist Trading Cards.  Visit her blog, Artfully Musing, and join her monthly giveaway of the most amazing ATCs (and other pieces)!

On the rest of my desk is the pile of brochures and travel mementos that I collected while traveling in Spain, Portugal and Morocco last month.  Hmm, I wonder where I will put them and when I can get them into some sort of a scrapbook!



That's it for this Wednesday!  Visit the WOYWW list in Julia's blog.  Lots of inspiration to be found in the other desks from around the world!

  1. Lucky you! Those crafts are worth keeping because they are real art from the heart. :) And I agree, those travel mementoes deserved to be compiled and cherished in a scarp book.

  2. Un gros bisou... Je viens de rentrer et je me sens bien débordée à remettre la maison en route...
    Cependant je suis allée faire un tour à l'atelier et je me suis sentie bien de me remettre quelques heures derrière mon chevalet.
    Bonne journée à toi...

  10. Sometimes it does seem to take a while to get ones arse in gear after being away. What a lovely pile of things to come home to (I'm very cross I missed the WOYWW anniversary I had something made and everything but missed the post to take part :( still I'm hopeful there will be another chance next year. It sounds like you have so much stuff you can play with you don't know where to start! Have fun once you get going :)

  24. I commented on your blog post and blogger showed my comment had been saved, then claimed it was a double entry. I've never seen that in a blogger comment before. Of course, then I couldn't find the comment I left, so you will have to accept the fact I was here. Happy belated WOYWW.
