Amidst the hustle and bustle of the season, please hold the family of Sarah Lawrence in your hearts. Sarah died suddenly, last Friday. You will know her from WOYWW; and appearances on TV and at major craft events for Crafty Notions - she was the fun, bursting with ideas and enthusiasm for mixed media person that we all want to be. I didn't know her personally, but that doesn't make any difference. I do know that the world in which we all blog, craft and share is a poorer one without her.
Detritus is what's on my work desk this Wednesday. No glass mat and nothing that reflects what I'm intending to make next. All the useful stuff is still packed in my tote after Sunday's crop and my desk has become a wrapping area and general dumping ground. Soon rectify that though. Got things to make so I can cross them off lists!
Sure had you going with this last week. G3 is in fact the blog nick name of Lunch Lady Jan's younger son. So I've decorated them with some references to his interests and hope he can find somewhere to prop them in his room. After all, he may need reminding who he is. Politically, some of you were a bit off the mark..it's actually G20 these days!

Had my panic over no Mr Linky - re your comment about Sarah - yes the crafting world will be poorer for her missing from it. Her smile and cheery chat always lit up the room. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Mr. Linky gone AWOL today? Your desk looks about like mine :). A bit of a list maker myself and on paper, not computer!
What sad news. I do think I've seen Sarah's work.
I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed this actually appears. So unpredictable with my tries.

Hi Julia, sad news about Sarah; I met her once and remember how bubbly and fun she was to chat to.
Your letters look cool today, perfect for a teen.
Sorry I'm so confused this morning! I had two woyww posts this morning! This is my right link!
WOYWW
(Lyn)
Glad you got Mr Linky sorted!! Your desk always looks good, no matter what state you leave it in... and the G3 is gorgeous - so that's what G3 is!! (Or who, I should say.) Have a great day - and sorry to the WOYWWer's I probably definitely won't get to this week, with Tim's tags taking over my life!
Such sad news Julia- our thoughts and prayers go to Sarah's family and friends. x Jo
The G3 looks super Julia. Your desk is a hive of interest as usual.
Toni xx
My first entry on what appears to be a very sad day. My thoughts are with her family.Inspired idea with the G3. Esp like the way you've decorated according to his interests.
Nice looking desk... I have no desk this week so will not be linking up.... maybe back next week though...
Some say detritus others of us say a crafting opportunity :) So many sad stories of loss around at the moment, guess it gives a person even more to be grateful for.
LovE the G3 thingies ... more inspiration so thanks for sharing those! Have linked up here today but will be posting photo' later ... promise! Debbie xXx
Lovely Christmassy feel to your blog lady! I've cocked up my link to my blog - the post is here: http://gabrielle-price.blogspot.com/2011/12/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-131.html MUST try harder!!!
Sorry to here sbout Sarah Lawrence, one day we are here then we are not...
You seem to be doing well with your lists - I think everybodies desk is some sort of dumping ground these days!
Hugs,
Cardarian
Prayers being lifted for Sarah Lawrence's family. The internet has connected all our lives so that we feel we KNOW each other. I'm so sorry.
Aww what a lovely Chrismassy feel to your blog :D
Have a lovely crafty week.
Helen xxx
Thank you for sharing the news of Sarah's death with us, Julia. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. My uncle died on Sunday too. It's always harder when it happens around Christmas.
Your desk looks a hive of industry. The G3 is soooo coooool! He'll love it!
I love your new blog background - very pretty snowflakes! I must do something about mine sometime - I haven't changed it since I started blogging and I feel I've "moved on" from it now lol!!
Happy WOYWW, and thank you for all you do for us. Shoshi #56
Shocked and sad to hear of Sarah's untimely passing. Her family will be in all our thoughts.
Love your G3 letters, Julia.
I'm off to draw up some new lists now !
Marilyn
I was going to use the word detritus in my post, but didn't know how to spell it.
I've met lots of friends through blogging even if I don't know them personally, so my thoughts are with Sarah's family and friends.
What sad news. It's shocking how quickly things change. Reminds us to be grateful every single moment of every day.
Your G3 letters look fantastic.
Must go and get on with some Christmas prepations, the days are going by too quickly.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #61
Condolences to her family, especially difficult during the holidays.
Wrapping is my least favorite thing to do.My DH gets that job, I just sticky tag the gifts, give him a clear area, tape, paper and tags. He's wonderful, guess he knows it's the little things that count!!!
Love your festive blog, Enjoy WOYWW and all our treasured minutes. Ok Linky..lets try again
and my I service went out...
I was shocked to read about Sarah, she always left comments on my blog. So much enthusiasm about life, very sad for her family too.
No WOYWW from me this week, I'm taking a crafty break getting everything ready, cards written out etc, I've even managed to read a book and start another! Blogging does take up a tremendous amount of time doesn't it?
Hugs
Brenda
Very sad to hear the news of Sarah, my heart goes out to her family and friends.
The G3 turned out great! great idea. The "pinapple chunks" that you thought were on my desk last week are now in full view and are.... well they're not pinapple chunks anyways :o) enjoy filling your desk back up with craftness x
Sad news about Sarah thoughts for her family and friends.
Elaine
I'm sorry to hear the sad news. Your G3 turned out great!
It was so sad to hear about Sarah yesterday.
Carol
How very sad for the family and friends of Sarah. My thoughts are with them.
I'm sorry to hear about Sarah.
I like your G3, it looks great. And about your desk - it looks very similar to mine. I need to clean it up otherwise projects will just disappear.
Oh Julia.....so sad to learn about Sarah! My heart goes out to her family and friends!!!
Those are great pieces and I love the colours you've used to finish them. He will love them for sure! Have a great week Julia!
I met Sarah at Ally Pally, as someone else said, very sad to lose to one of our crafting community and especially at this time.
I totally love your Christmassy blog missus - beautiful!
very cool look!
Hello,
I was not familiar with Sarah but did check out her blog and will go back to view her posts in respect to her life. Her work was beautiful. It is sad to see her last posts of losing her voice and thinking it was the 'first wave of winter chill bugs' and now she is gone. She shared so much talent with everyone.
I love the end results of your project - I am sure that he will love it! You take care. Wishing you a happy week!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
My prayers and love go out to Sarah's family. May we all appreciate each other more and share a smile with those we pass.
Keep going with the big letters, they're looking really good. Happy WOYWW 131.
Sending hugs to Sarah's family and friends, such a sad and sudden loss.
Loving the Christmassy look to your blog this week :D and also ADORE what you have done with those letters!! Noticed a few 'video game'titles on there too ...my son is also an Assassins Creed fantatic!! You have just given me an idea on that now....lol
Many apologies for being late this week.
Take care
Jackie xx
Hello Julia,
I'm sorry to hear of fellow blogger and crafty woman Sarah.
I'm hoping to link up to WOYWW in the next coming weeks. I'm in the United States so am wondering if I could post on Tuesday evening? Also, I'm new to the whole linking up thing so any guidance would be VERY helpful!
I just love looking in on everyone's desks. Talk about creativity overload!
Hi Julia, such sad news about Sarah, I was only watching her on C & C a few weeks back, she was
such a busy lady, I think when someone so young passes it does put things into perspective, she will be greatly missed, my love and thoughts go out to her family.x
Your desk is looking a bit sorry for itself I would say, needs a bit of that Fushia Pink staz on to liven things up!!! hee hee after those fab bright orange G3 appeared well its looking at tad dull!! great works of art, he will be delighted, Happy Crafting, Sue xx
So sorry to hear about Sarah, thanks for letting us all know. There are two links in my name - they first one went horribly wrong the second one is correct - sorry - don't know what I did. http://ramblingsandcraft.blogspot.com
I'm loving WOYWW!! x
Hello I don't think I have seen Sarah or her blog but it is such sad news and especially at this 'family time of year'. My thoughts and prayers will be with her family.
l
Love the G3. I have lots of lists too and am beginning to worry I am not going to get everything done. Anne x
Sad to hear about Sarah and so near to Christmas for her family. Hugs Mrs A.
I'm sad to hear about Sarah. I will think about her today, especially as I work on a giveaway I am making. *smiles* Norma
Very sad to hear about the passing of fellow crafter. Many prayers are going out to her family.
Vary sorry to hear about your friend. Will definitely be keeping you all in my thoughts.
As for the G3, what a great gift! He is going to love that. #101
so sorry to hear about Sarah, that is such sad news!
Thanks for revealing the G3, it certainly had me puzzled!
Happy WOYWW, have a fabulous, creative day, Debxx #104
Sad news about Sarah.
Love the G3, a brilliant idea.
Such sad news about Sarah. My thoughts and best wishes go out to her family and friends.
Thank you for your visit today - I am trying not to panic too much but there seems so much to do, and Wednesdays are taking over the week. Maggie #34 (I remembered my number this time)
I love the continuity of seeing a project take shape over the weeks -- the G3 is looking pretty cool.
Completely inspired and decided to share though mine is completely un-inspiring!
Happy Wednesday Everyone! Thanks for sharing!
How funny is that, I saw the G3 last week and wondered what it was and the things I came up with were a pun on a gentlemen free zone or short for geoffrey. Have a lovely day. Laura
Sorry to hear about Sarah. At such a sad time of year for her family too.
I like the Christmas look on your blog.
Apologies for missing last week, but I did not think it was fair of my not to visit and I knew I would not get to the desks. Missed you all though.
Great G3. Lovely idea. Wish my blog names weren't so long! Great desk
This is very sad news about Sarah, My condolences to her loved ones and everyone she has touched. xx
Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog, Julia. I haven't tried this technique straight onto a black mirror - the stamping wouldn't show up unless I embossed it, and I think the pearlescent inks might not be strong enough, and I don't think the glass bead gel medium would be as effective. The picture doesn't really do it justice, but the bead gel medium really sparkles over the mirror card! I've used these mirrors for loads of other techniques too - they're on my blog - and still more ideas up my sleeve!
Glad you liked the tribute I wrote about my uncle. I'm thinking of printing it out and giving it to my aunt. I just wish I had a few more photos to put in - most of my old ones are in a box somewhere or other!!
The antisocial hours I keep are due to my M.E. which really disrupts one's sleep patterns. I'm frequently wide awake at 4 a.m. and have to force myself to go to bed - and then don't wake up till after 10 a.m.!! I upload my WOYWW post after midnight on the Wed. and then come down as early as I can make it, all bleary eyed, to log on to WOYWW and then go back to bed again lol!
thanks for stopping by! I just love those mustaches I just got the cricut cartridge with several different ones too stink in' cute Love your big letters
That is sad news, will send up a little prayer right now for her family.
I didn't know the blog of Sarah Lawrence, but sad news, esp at this time of year. The G3 is really funky
Hi Julia, my workdesk is much alike yours, lots of stuff! I don't have as much time as I liked to craft but I keep trying!
Greetings from Spain
Thanks for visiting and the kind words...
I so enjoy this every Wednesday, so glad you had this idea!!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting! So funny you should mention that, I thought the same thing! I thought that maybe a crazy woman (she's not, lovely actually) had sent me pictures of a stuffed dog to do a portrait of! Thankfully she sent enough pictures to see this amazing little button with his tongue hanging out. Too cute for words! Thanks for stopping by for WYOWW!
Julia,
Thanks for answering my question. You might just see me link up with you all next week!!!!
Not sure why but my link and comment is on at 07:10 but it appears to have disappeared from the mrlinky that has now appeared so hope you dont mind that I re-added as no-one knows to look at my desk (billy no mates!!)
kyla
I just discovered your site and WOYWW tickles my fancy--a different kind of inspiration. Fun!
Love how the G3 turned out!
I am new here! Directed over here through a bit of blog hopping. Look forward to playing! So sad to hear of your friends passing...a gentle reminder to cherish each day. Julie
Oops...posted to soon. I will be joining you next week for woyww! Sorry.
Deary me, this is a comment in last weeks WOYWW. I've commented and linked to this weeks but linked to this one again too! what a twit!! Having a bad M.E day, thats my excuse!! sorry xx
I hope you gals had a great get together, there is nothing like having great friends. Have a great week... I love spending Wednesday's with you....ok, maybe Thursday, when I can't get my act together!
My Christmas has been a challenge this year...trying to 'upcycle' what normally would be thrown out.
Sorry to hear about your friend. It's especially hard to bear such a loss so close to Christmas.
This is my first link to your WOYWW.
