WOYWW: What? It's Wednesday?

Yesterday was Philippine Independence Day, a holiday!  I spent the day repairing, organizing and cleaning up.  I fixed a chair, a cabinet latch, repaired three shopping bags, four broken bracelets, one ring, and one bag!  Then I organized my desk and all the drawers under my desk. Today I continued my organizing by rearranging my bathroom cabinet...

And I forgot it was a Wednesday until my sister Patsy asked me, "Did you make a WOYWW post?"  Whaaaat?  Is it Wednesday already?  So here is my office desk instead.  I know, I know, it is just as messy as my home desk is most of the time!

Join in the fun of showing off your desk and peeking at desks from around the world.  Julia has the WOYWW list!  

Finally...

Finally, I've chosen a winner for my giveaway!  So sorry for the delay!  The winner (Number 81) wrote this lovely comment as her entry, "I don't post in your blog often but I do read it and love all your work. I would love to win your artwork but so many contenders I may not however I wanted to let you know that I love your work."  Aww, thank you so much!  

Well,  Shashi Nayagam, even with "so many contenders," you still won!  We never really know what surprises will come our way each day, do we?  Congratulations, Shashi!  

And finally, some art to share with you.  Here is a page from my prayer journal, illustrating 2 Peter 1: 5-7...

and another one, illustrating 2 Timothy 1:6...

I'm linking up with Inspire Me Monday and  Random Journal Day!

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday: A Whole Mess!

Happy Wednesday, dear blog friends!  I am back, home sweet home after almost a month away from home.  And do you remember how I left my desk, all spic-and-span?...

Well, this is how it looks today!...

Arghhh, I know!  A whole mess!  I haven't found the time to put away the stuff I've brought home (mostly ordered from Ebay or Amazon and sent to my in-laws' address in Los Angeles).  

I have been such a delinquent blogger and I had to dig out my laptop from under the mess just to email Rachel for her address for the WOYWW ATC swap and to send Helen my address!  I also haven't picked my winner for my Easter giveaway and if you want a chance to win this painting...

you can still leave a comment in my giveaway post until I finally find the time to pick a winner (hopefully soon!)

And for more desks to take a peek at, hopefully more organized and creative (hmm, that sounds impossible for my desk) jump on over to Julia's WOYWW list.

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday: Patterns

Happy WOYWW anniversary!  Let me just take this opportunity to thank Julia for hosting this wonderful blog party every week!  Thank you, Julia!  It's such fun to be able to travel the world's desks and see what projects are in the making each week.  WOYWWers are a great bunch of bloggers!  Thank you, everyone! 

On my hotel room desk today are my prayer journal, some cherimoya fruit, and colorful patterns.  The squares and dots pattern is on a case for my pencils and pens while I'm traveling, and the flowers and leaves patterns are on binders I couldn't resist buying.

This is a scheduled post because I will be missing Wednesday this week.  I am getting on board an airplane bound for the Philippines on a Tuesday and arriving on a Thursday!  I will ask my sister Patsy to link me up to Julia and the WOYWW list.  I'm looking forward to our WOYWW anniversary ATC swap!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Spring

Happy Wednesday, dear blog friends!  I haven't had a real desk in weeks!  So I thought I'd share with you some pictures of the lovely spring flowers I've come across...

 and a drawing from my prayer journal...

See how they're in cold weather wear?  That's because that's what I was wearing at the time...

 

I am pretending not to be freezing here.  And excuse the hair, please, LOL!  For real desks, with real arts and crafts projects, drop by Julia's Stamping Ground!

Happy Birthday, Aliénore!

 

I'm joining the celebration for the third birthday of one of my favorite little doll blogfriends.  Her name is Aliénore, and she lives far away in the United Kingdom.  Here is a sketch I made of her.  She loves parties you know!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Breakfast

It is Wednesday morning where I am but I think it is already Thursday in the Philippines and I am late for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday!  Anyway, here is my desk today, whatever day it is...

filled with what we had for breakfast and an unfinished page from my prayer journal...

And. if you visited last week and are wondering about the map on my desk, I was in Vancouver...

 

We also went to Whistler

 

where I went up a ski resort for the first time in my life!  I was cccccccold!!!!

Thank you so much for dropping by!  I'm sorry but I haven't had time to go visiting while I'm traveling.  Wherever you are, I hope you are well and enjoying creating! Drop by more desks at Julia's Stamping Ground!

Everyday is Mother's Day

A belated Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers, especially mine!  I don't know if I've shared this song before, but it is a lovely song for mothers so I want to share it with you...

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Maps and Meditations

 

You may have noticed that this is not my regular desk!  Away from my regular desk, the only art I get to do are illustrations in my prayer journal.  Here is one that needs coloring...

Can recognize the map on the desk and make a guess where I am?  For other desks from all over the world, here's the WOYWW list.

The giveaway for a chance to win one of my mixed media pieces is still ongoing.  Leave a comment on my giveaway post if you are interested!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday: Nothing!

Yes, once in a while, on Wednesdays, my desk gets super clean.  Shocking, I know!

And another shock, a very short post!  I say, my messy desk is much more interesting!

If you haven't yet, there's still time to join my giveaway!
