What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday: An Assortment


For this week's edition of WOYWW, where bloggers around the world get together to show off their desk and take a peek at other's desks,  here is my desk (this is the neat part!)

A few close-ups.  Some ATCs that I will scan before I send off to new homes.  Thank you, dear blog friends, for offers to trade!  I will check to see if I have enough (and make a draw if not).  Hopefully, I can send these out soon.  Also, a page from my prayer journal (I am also scanning the pages and in my previous posts, I have pages from my journal).


A page in the making from my "Journey" altered book (I'm not sure if I've shown you this Hongkong page.)  If you are interested in making an altered book, the Altered Book course is available in Elizabeth's blog.


And here is a little tin from Heidelberg, Germany.  I asked my hubby if he had any tin cans I could  cut up for a project and this is what he gave me. Oh no, it's too cute.  I'll keep it as it is!


Check out what everyone else has been up to!  Julia has the WOYWW list.

    Hi Peggy! It's been awhile since I've visited and all I can say is WOW! You've got some lovely, lovely projects going on! I especially admire your altered book celebrating Hong Kong and the little German tin! I'm a Deutschophile as most of my ancestors were from Saxony, and love to see the kinds of vintage paper and ephemera artists are able to find and use in their work.

    Both of your journals are wonderful. So full of color and lovely images. I want to be able to draw something more than stick figures. I would love to swap with you. I made several more and I have 5 that I can swap. #17

    Love your journals and ATC's Peggy. I am with you on not cutting that tin up it is way to cute for that. Good for holding buttons or other little bits. Have a great week. Vickie #36

    Oh I agree, too pretty a tin..funny what we can be sentimental about, huh! Are you scanning the pages to print a book? I think that would be marvellous.

    No way can you cut that tin, it needs keeping pristine - a work of art in its own right.
    A lovely page as always in your journal and a lovely page in your AB too.
    Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #3 xx

    Altered Books were everywhere in WOYWW a few months ago but they have gone very quiet recently. I'm glad you are still making yours.
    The Hong Kong page is amazing, so full of colour and life, you are so talented and I'm really glad you didn't cut up that tin, it's gorgeous.
    Happy WOYWW

    Peggy, your recent art is nothing short of stunning... I really love your style, and your subject matter too! I really, really hope I qualify to receive an ATC from you as I would really love to own a piece of your original art, which I would treasure always! I do hope you have enough ATCs to go around!!

    Your German tin is perfect - some things just don't need altering, do they. As for your altered book, well, it's incredible.

    Happy WOYWW,
    Shoshi #25

    Thank you for your motivation and tips for drawing faces.
    I was blogging about it last week as well and your sister told me about you and your method :)

    A big thank you for letting me know about the word verification. I tought I already turned it of and I don't like it either.

    Your work is beautifull as always. I admire your drawings and think you are an inspiration.

    I'm with you, definitely don't cut up that tin. It is far too pretty. Great journal page, and your altered book is very outstanding as well. You had some nice pieces to work with to add into it.

    Hi Peggy.
    i am still trying to visit some workdesks, but I have done a bit better this week. Your Hong Kong page is amazing. Once again I reminded of a three month trip to S.E.Asia that is still waiting for me to scrapbook after three years. But it will get done.
    I have just sent you another e-mail about your offer of an ATC swap, as I haven't heard back from the first one. i hope I've sent it to the right address.
