WOYWW: ATCs and Gel Medium

I can't believe it is time for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday again!  I thought I would try to greet everyone a Happy WOYWW Anniversary last week but the week seemed to go extra quickly!  I am still making ATCs and this time, I'm putting words on them...

I make a photocopy of the mirror image of a word, and use gel medium to paste it face down on the card...

When the gel medium is dry, I rub off the paper with a wet finger and the word gets transferred to the card!  Here is one I've finished rubbing...

I am still celebrating the WOYWW anniversary and if you asked for a trade, I'll have some new cards ready to trade soon!

And as always, for Word Art Wednesday, here is a page from my journal, reminding us that God always leads us...

Thank you for your visits and encouragement.  I hope to do more visiting in the coming week, this time to greet you a belated happy WOYWW anniversary!

Happy 5th WOYWW Anniversary!

For the much awaited 5th anniversary of What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, there is my little bunny wearing the WOYWW button I got from Julia. the Queen of WOYWW...

(no, I did not make her)

and some ATCs and envelopes getting ready for mailing...

I still have some extra ATCs for swapping.  Let me know if you want to swap with me!  And for my Word Art Wednesday, a verse to celebrate this special occasion!  

Happy 5th WOYWW anniversary, everyone!  Through the joys and challenges I've been through this past year, you've been blessings to me!

WOYWW: After a Tidy Up

There is a lot of space on my desk after the tidy up I did.  So I have space to finish the ATCs I made for the upcoming What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday anniversary.  This is the standard backing that I put on my ATCs, with a space for the title of the ATC and the date I finished it.

And I thought you would like a peek at some bandanas I bought in my last trip to Davao...

And from my prayer journal, for Word Art Wednesday...

Thank you very much for dropping by!  Have a great week, everyone!

WOYWW: ATCs

With the anniversary of What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday coming up soon, I decided I had better finish the ATCs I started a long time ago to get some ready for the anniversary swap. Aside from that there are some folding ecobags that I bought recently and a Mother's Day freebie from The Face Shop that I got when we went to the mall for dinner on Mother's Day.

And for Word Art Wednesday, an assurance that God knows all things...

Have a great week, dear friends!  I am off to do a tidy up since I realized that the mess on my desk hasn't changed for weeks.  I need to tidy up and make new mess!

WOYWW: Packing

It's time for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday but there isn't anything of interest today on my desk. I have a bad cough and "Fisherman's Friend" takes center stage today.  I am getting ready to leave for Davao, in Mindanao, the southern part of the Philippines and I did some last minute work using my sewing box.

And for Word Art Wednesday, a verse from Isaiah 49...

Mother's Day is coming up soon and God blessed me with a wonderful mother.  She is no longer with us but she lives on in us and in all she passed on to us, especially our faith.  Happy Mothers Day, not only to all the mothers out there but to everyone who mothers someone!

WOYWW: Seoul

It's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday! I just came from Seoul, Korea, and using the push back method, I made space for some tickets and brochures I collected while I was there...

as well as a little twig with flowers that was used as decoration in a dish that was served during a dinner there...

Here are a few photos from my Instagram account...

Seoul is a great place to visit!  And as always for Word Art Wednesday, a page from my journal...

Thank you for visiting me today. Be blessed, dear blog friends!

WOYWW: Easter Gifts

I've been busy!  My brother-in-law and his wife celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary last Sunday and my gift was their wedding giveaways.  This was my desk last Saturday, filled with finished bookmarks...

each with a little Holy Family charm (they have one son, just like in the charm).

And today for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, I am making a similar giveaway for a 75th birthday...

another gift to a precious friend.  I have only finished a few...

with lots more to go!

And in this Easter season, I thank God for His greatest gift to me, Jesus Christ, and what He has prepared for me through His death and resurrection...

Also sharing this with Word Art Wednesday and wishing all of you abundant Easter blessings!  You, too, my dear blog friends, are gifts to me!

WOYWW: Holy Week

For today's desk, I have a 400th Anniversary Edition of the King James Version of the bible.  It is a digital reproduction of the original one printed in 1611 (except that on was huge - 12" x 16"). Although it is very hard to read, the decorative initials, illustrated genealogy and antique font are beautiful...

Since it is the Holy Week, my illustration is a prayer from Luke 18...

I wasn't able to go visiting last week since we had a family vacation (17 of us!) to Puerto Princesa, Palawan.  Here are a few pictures that I posted in my Instagram account (peggyapl)...

The highlight of our trip for me, dolphin watching...

Sharing this in What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday and Word Art Wednesday! Have a blessed Holy Week and a joyful Easter, everyone!

WOYWW on Vacation

We are on vacation in Puerto Princesa, Palawan and I'm going to post this using my iPad so I'm keeping it short today!  Here is my desk for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, the hotel side table...

And a prayer journal illustration for Word Art Wednesday...

We will be island hopping today, rejoicing in the beauty of God's creation of family, sun, sea and sand. Perhaps I can post a few pictures after we get back. Til then, blessings to all!

WOYWW: ATCs in Progress

ATCs in progress!  This is how they looked the other day, after I shaded them using Copic markers...

and here is my desk today for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday...

The ladies now have more definition...

And for my prayer journal illustration, a verse from Mark 4...

Go visit other bloggers joining the fun in WOYWW and Word Art Wednesday!  Blessings to all!
