Happy Wednesday or whatever day you're visiting, dear blog friends! I have some new buys on my desk today, a set of water soluble gel crayons and the book "View from a Sketchbook," with the beautiful paintings of Marjolein Bastin.
Last Wednesday, I was away from home and Lisa so kindly linked me up to What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday (thank you so much, Lisa!) If you're wondering where I was (together with my whole family - my parents, my brother and sisters and all our children), here are a few pictures as we went island hopping in Caramoan, Camarines Sur.
Here is a man selling fresh coconuts near a sand bar...
We had this island all to ourselves...
Crystal clear waters and powder fine sand...
If you think you can't draw, you might be interested in my previous post and if you haven't joined yet, there's still time to join my giveaway!

How impressive for your daughter. You can be very proud of her. And of course congratulations on your wedding anniversary. It looks like you had a wonderful time with your family this week. You really DO live in a beautiful part of the world. Happy WOYWW
Looking outside of my window it is dark and dismal, threatening yet more rain and so cold. How lovely to share your island with you - what a wonderful time you must have had.
What are water soluble gel crayons please?
Hugs, Neet #3 xx
Ditto all of above.Hmm..the water solubl;e gel crayons are new to me too!Thanks for sharing.
That place looks idyllic. Stunning book and your desk is very full of yummy stuff.
My goodness Peggy, these photos make me happy - such natural beauty - I think your home country is a bit of a secret gem....the whole island to yourselves...how marvellous. What a fab break to have everyone involved too - I would love that.
I would like to be in all your photo's and reading that book.

now that s haven on earth - wonderful...I could jump in that sea right now.... Funny to see that book as I know it well from my years in Holland and have even been to her stores! Have a creative week and happy WOYWWing... Sarah at 12!
It looks as if you had the most wonderful time! (read about it on your sisters blog already) Never heard of those type of crayons but I certainly know Marjolein Bastin, she is one of my al time fabourite nature artists. (Being from the Netherlands originally I knew her already years and years ago)That book looks awesome, must check it out!

Thank-you so much for letting us see your beautiful country. It all looks so tranquil and calming too. I'd love to be able to paint, but its one ambition I never quite got round too. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xx 67
Those photos are beautiful! The mountains look so green and the water is so clear. What a great place to spend time with family. dani138

I enjoyed looking at your desk but let's be real, those vacation pictures were oh so beautiful. Thanks for the mini excursion.

Hi Peggy - I am looking out of my window at grey skies and large plopping raindrops so thank you so much for sharing the beautiful photos of your holiday. I just learnt where it was from Patsy and now I know I want to go there too!! Happy WOYWW Helen 125

Peggy, I envy your massive work space, let alone your adorable storage boxes. What an inspirting and fun desk! :)
Can i come with you if i promise to clean my desk?
Wow! Look at the crystal clear water and those beaches. To me, that is such a fantasy land--like I can't believe such places really exist. How serene and lovely. I love Marjolein Bastin's art. I'll have to have a peek at her book just for an ogle.
What a fantabulous vacation you had! That is one of the most beautiful places I've seen. And you're very welcome! I was glad to link you up. Unfortunately, I usually end up close to the end of the list! :D
The book looks so interesting. I think Tovah Martin worked on a book about Tasha Tudor, didn't she?
Have a great WOYWW!

What a beautiful, relaxing place! I feel like I have been on vacation just looking at the pictures! Happy WOYWW #159
WOW, those pictures look lovely, cannot believe how clear the water is, must have been a blast!!!
Lotsa luv #192
I love living by and seeing the water. Live in Florida on the Gulf side only about 45 min. to the beach, but only get there when my girlfriends from up north come to visit. Such a lovely pile of doings on that desk. Love to look through the book. #58
oh I'm soooo jealous, your pictures are gorgeous, I don't think my trip to raining old Cornwall (England) next week will even come up to your location's little toe!! (Or even the sand under it!) Have a great crafty week. HaPpY WoYwW!
((Lyn)) feeling very old at #102!
Your new book looks delicious. I love painting books.
Now, what can I say. I was just looking out my window at a miserable wet Yorkshire morning and then my day has suddenenly been brightened by all your gorgeous, sunny photos. What a beautiful place. I'm sitting on that beach with a drink in my hand and hearing the waves on the sand....bliss.
Thank you so much for making my day.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #74

Your photos are gorgeous! We've had nothing but rain here for a week - much needed - so it was a real treat to see those blue skies!
