Happy What's on your Workdesk Wednesday! It's been a while since I've joined in the fun of posting a picture of my desk and peeking at other people's desks! On my recent trip to Europe, my schedule was just too hectic for desk hopping and afterwards, when I got home, my desk was just too much of a mess, even for me!
Well, I finally got to clear up my prayer desk a little bit and here it is...peggy aplSEEDShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768955822621326694noreply@blogger.com69tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091029557716889453.post-36220985503633367682016-06-22T14:36:00.001+08:002016-06-22T16:31:09.867+08:00WOYWW: Book Art
It's time for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday care of Lunch Lady Jan (Julia, the WOYWW queen, is on sick leave). My main desk is filled with packing cubes, toiletry bags and all sorts of travel stuff. I am packing to go to Europe in July!
My niece, together with her family, is opening a new bookshop soon and she assigned her mom (my sister) to make installation art using peggy aplSEEDShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768955822621326694noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091029557716889453.post-74656548978605898652016-06-15T12:52:00.001+08:002016-06-15T12:52:54.227+08:00WOYWW: Faithfulness
Every Wednesday, as much as possible, a group of faithful WOYWWers post pictures of their desks (and all sorts of other things as well) for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday. It is usually hosted by Julia, who is presently recovering from an operation. Thanks to Lunch Lady Jan, the weekly blog party, continues...

After last week's "typhoon"desk, I hoped that I would be able to show you a tidy desk today for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday (usually hosted by Julia, but for now Lunch Lady Jan is subbing for her).
But instead of the calm after the storm, it's more like ongoing rehabilitation efforts. This is a classic case of the push back method!
But then, in tidying up, just like peggy aplSEEDShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768955822621326694noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091029557716889453.post-74516328268023800042016-06-01T13:00:00.002+08:002016-06-01T13:00:30.047+08:00WOYWW: Post Travel Typhoon
I missed What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday's 7th anniversary last week! Belated Happy Anniversary to Julia and the rest of the WOYWWers! Isn't it amazing how time flies?!
My desk today looks like a typhoon passed through since I dumped all sorts on it after my trip to California. I haven't downloaded my travel pictures yet so none to post today.

It's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday and because I am packing for my next trip, my desk is full of stuff to pack (aside from the campaign materials for our upcoming elections).
I'm voting for Mar Roxas and Leni Robredo but there's this funny image going around that I thought I'd share with you...
Happy WOYWW, everyone! Please pray for our elections!

I took this picture for last week's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday but I never got to post it because that day was my 14th wedding anniversary so my family went out for lunch (I often make my post during my lunch break.)
This is my desk today, with some campaign materials of the Roxas-Robredo team.

A blessed and joyful Easter season to all of you! It always amazes me that the week goes by so quickly and it's time for another edition of What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday. My main desk is still the same as last week and so I'm showing you my prayer desk which is also quite busy.

There's something new going on in my desk for What's on your Workdesk Wednesday!
I'm doing some sewing. Nothing exciting, I just finished the seams in one of the blouses I bought in India. I plan to wear it during the Easter Vigil Mass. Now that the sewing machine is out, I may decide to do the rest of the blouses as well. I wish I had a serger or lived near Annie peggy aplSEEDShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10768955822621326694noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091029557716889453.post-41552383086685959242016-03-16T12:36:00.001+08:002016-03-16T12:37:01.115+08:00WOYWW: India at Home
I finally got a little space free on my desk after it became a dumping ground for all the stuff I unpacked from my trip to India. Now there are still some remnants of India. My son attended an Indian wedding last January and he came home with this big box of Indian sweets and nuts. Of course I got the box!
Here are some pens I bought in India as gifts for friends...

My main desk is in the middle of a tidy up and so for What's on your Workdesk Wednesday you can't see anything creative...
In contrast, my prayer desk only has what's necessary... my journaling bible, some colored pencils, a pencil box filled with my basic pens and some devotionals...
And the illustration here is also about contrasts...

There's nothing interesting on my main desk so for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, I'm featuring my prayer desk, all nice and tidy with my bible opened up to a WIP illustration.
And to show you what I've been up to this past week, here's a picture of me and my hubby during our office costume party.

It's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday time and there's not much to see on my desk, just my sewing box and a few pieces of clothing. I often stitch red thread in the labels of my clothes to help our laundry woman differentiate them from my daughter's clothes.

This was my post for last week but I didn't get to post it. My desk is just as messy today so I just decided to post this.
Something's new on my desk for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, and it's not just the New Year! My eldest son surprised me with a wooden laser cut WOYWW sign that he made himself! Isn't it great?

I call this my WOYWW WOW edition because this is the biggest area of clear desk I've had in a while! Without those newly purchased books at the far end, it would be even tidier! Wow, it's like the calm before the storm, considering I'll soon be wrapping Christmas gifts. I'm feeling so satisfied with myself... And so ready to mess up my desk again!

And here's something I made with a new app I downloaded...
It's called MotionPortrait and animates portraits! Such fun!
This will be a short post for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday. Oh, this is something new as well! Happy WOYWW!

It's not surprising. My desk is a mess.
But good and beauty that can still come out of this mess.
Seems like the world is also in such a mess. The terrorist attacks in Paris are just some of the ways we're in a mess.
And yet, good and beauty can still come out of the mess we are in. There were stories of people opening their homes to strangers the night of the attacks.
