WOYWW's & ATC's

It's been a while since I've posted for a lot of boring reasons, and my desk stayed empty for many, many days. It was a sad desk. It is happy now. 


I've been working on a floral ATC challenge for Art Chix Studio, a favorite site of mine. The ATC has to have flowers and at least one Art Chix product.


And my favorite one, on a background of washi tape laid out in a crazy quilt pattern.


Another big happening since I last checked in with WOYWW - wait. Are you wondering what WOYWW is? Why it's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday which is hosted by the lovely, talented and patient Ms. Julia at her blog Stamping Ground. Please do check it out. 

Oh yes, exciting happening. I got a present from the Netherlands! Yep. Addressed to me and everything!!


It's from Monique, who's blog I discovered in another WOYWW week.  It was her birthday so she made a lovely little book and had a drawing. And yes - I was lucky enough to win!! It has a love theme. I love it.  Isn't it grand???


But only did she send the book, there were other goodies as well!! 


Dictionary pages, a cool little file folder with a hint of sparkly, and lots of lovely embellishments. I haven't thanked her properly, but I can tell you I was like a kid in a candy store opening up the package. I mean even the package looked cool!!


I'm a happy girl....hope you are too!

    When I first saw your desk, before I read anything, I thought OMGosh, what a lot of washi tape! Boy was I right (grin).

    Congrats on your big win. You got the prize, that's for sure. BTW, I love Art Chix, too.

    Oh my! I love, love, love Monique's work! She's on holiday at the moment and I'm having withdrawal symptoms!!! Lucky you to own something by her now! Your ATCs are just fab! I love this kind of art so much. I don't know if I visited you before, as I only started blogging back in April, but your post is just fantastically inspiring! As I said before this is the kind of work I really love. I am going to follow you so I can see what you create on a regular basis. Thank you so much for sharing! Julie Ann #12

    Hey there! What a riot of colour your desk is this week...I love that washi tape background! How quick and effective is that technique!! Clever you :-)
    But most of all, I want to say an enormous THANK YOU for the wonderful fabric...I did send an email, hope you got it ok. I'm just bowled over by the kindness and generosity of WOYWWers and you are a top example! I love the fabric, it's a bit off the wall (like me...) and I shall use it to help make money for others. Hope you're ok with that!
    Hugs, LLJ 20 xx

    Sara, just read your question you left about the glue that would stick a cat's butt, etc. and had to laugh. My dear, I LIVE in the States. And from the looks of the tag on the bottle, my friend bought it at Hobby Lobby.
