WOYWW? 185
What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday. See this post for as good an explanation as I could muster. Then, join in! it's free, fun and friendly. FFF. In fact if you scroll down too fast, you might think it's silly. It is that too.
My desk, cleared and cleaned to allow for sewing over the weekend, has become a place of yawn. I'm not here again today, so please don't be to hard on my lack of visits..I promise it's for a good reason. Back to the desk.... I'm doing book work so that it's as up to date as possible before I ban the mention of work for the holiday. This will happen on Friday, and in order to maintain the ban, I must be ready myself, huh! So I regret a boring desk...iPad in place, and a tidy looking scrap box right at the far end, huh! Am super happy with this arrangement so far.
So, although this isn't the nearest WOYWW to Christmas, it's the last before hand, and I wish you a really happy and peaceful Christmas. And apologise for the card you find below....Jan made me. And she's publishing it too, so I kinda hope that you're over the shock before you see it again! By the way, that one photo shoot on the beach - gorgeous. Almost worth it. However awful/bizarre/funny you find the picture, the sentiment is true!
oh, I thought I was going to be no 1 - still 3 ain't bad! Love the pic of you and Jan - much much love to you for a stupendously Happy Christmas, never mind the boring clear desk - good on you!
ReplyDeleteMerry/Happy Christmas Julia
ReplyDeleteand have a fun and festive time... looking at the picture you've posted your already getting your drink on :)
hugs Nikki C
Merry Christmas to you and yours Julia! Thanks for another fun year of WOYWW!

Had to refresh a couple of times, just to make sure, but it was worth the disturbed night to finally get #1. What a Christmas present - horrah. Have a great Christmas Julia. Love BJ x
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Julia, hope it's a good one, love the photo/card! Wish my desk was so neat!
ReplyDeleteA tidy desk is fine. Think of it as a boring, but useful kind of Christmas present to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not No.1, that would really feel like I've been stalking you! Anyway, I can go home now :)
Merry Christmas Julia and thanks for the wonderful world of WOYWW! Great photo :)
Seriously? You're showing us a tidy desk just before Christmas? I could have sworn there are laws against that kind of thing! I hope you get all your work done before Christmas and then have a wonderful time. I'll see you on Boxing Day, if not before. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI spy a new holder for the iPad - where is the little deck chair? Is it 'cos it's Christmas?
ReplyDeleteLove the photo and returning the wish for you and yours to have a Merry Christmas.
Hugs, Neet 12 xx
Tidy desk all ready for sewing.. Think I might do a bit of that as well, make one of those tote bags or an ipad cover on the link you gave us to that wonderful blog yesterday the cottage home.
ReplyDeleteOh look at you both in that photo don't you look like you and Jan are having a good time there.. Have a great Christmas
Sandy :)
And a merry christmas to you too. Love the pic could almost double as an easter card. Enjoy you holiday break.

Blessed Christmas to you and your family....can't quite get my head round the fact that it will be here this time next week and we know how fast Wednesdays come around!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the photo!! A very, merry Christmas to you too!!! I don't think I've ever seen so much desk, on your desk, lol!!!! Getting ready for a new year of fun projects I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteLoving the card Julia! Merry Christmas to you and yours too, hope you have a wonderful time! Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteWell for once my desk is even tidier than yours - there is nothing on it at all this week , well it is Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Christmas wishes and the same to you and yours and a huge thanks for all your work, and early mornings in organising WOYWW every week without fail, much appreciated by all of us.
Now all I want for Christmas is an iPad stand as mine is sliding about a on the duvet cover while I try two type.

I've managed a little clearing too, only of course the bits you can't see are still very messy. Wishing you a happy Christmas too, and hoping this next year will be better for everyone.

Happy WOYWW and Merry Christmas. Clear desk - I have one of those. Except I do need to make room for the new pc. Loving your sunny Xmas card. We could do with some of that blue sky. Enjoy your day, whatever you are doing. Ali x #31

ReplyDeleteThank you Julia for hosting WOYWW, I've enjoyed joining in. Hope you and yours have a lovely Christmas. I'm away to my bed now, not to sleep just to see if there is anything else I can do to my room before my new crotchet blanket arrives.

Your neat and tidy desk has put mine to shame this week and that accounts book gave me a moment of deja vu ... worked on a few of them in my time :) Love the Christmas card! Happy Christmas to you and your family. Aye yours, Elizabeth x #46
ReplyDeleteNot a boring desk Julia - just a tidy one! And it's nice to see it from a slightly different angle. I love those little cube shelves you've got. Thanks for organising us yet again, especially at this busy time of year.
ReplyDeleteShoshi #47
I thought I was going to be way down the list today, just shows how busy everyone is. Have a wonderful Christmas, Julia, and thank you for your warm hospitality every week. xx Maggie #47
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Julia...love your clean desk and that cute picture!!
ReplyDeleteClean desk!! Thought I was at the wrong place for a moment!!
ReplyDeleteRemember....you are one person, and that one person is not wonder woman (regardless of whether you may or may not have the costume in your wardrobe!!).
Enjoy the sewing, and run up to Dr Who day!!

Ha ha, my desk is tidy today too - it must be the post Christmas aftermath...

Hi! not taken part since September!!! thought I'd pop in before Xmas. Desk is looking mega tidy! Have a Great Xmas x April #52
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping and for your kind comment re my backgrounds. The challenge is, of course, to actually put something on top of the backgrounds. That will be the hard part!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I don't think anyone is nosey to zoom in and see the fine details! That's what WOYWW's all about, I reckon. Luckily, I don't need (or want) any big ticket kitchen appliances. I use all those sorts of brochures as "drop sheets" to work painty stuff on! That's good recycling, what? :)
At first I was shocked to see the tidy space but then realised, mine isn't all that bad either. Happy Xmas lovely lady.
ReplyDeletexx
Giggles and chuckles came out after seeing your picture card. Have a very Merry Christmas filled with joy and laughter.
ReplyDeleteHa ha what a super card, tidy desk for sure but then getting organised is always a good thing! No desk from me today as I've got DT projects on there and I can't share it yet! So Merry Christmas and take care lovely. Zo xx
ReplyDeleteOh my a clean desk for christmas, was that what you asked santa for lol

ReplyDeleteToo tidy, too tidy!! Thank you so much for the wonderful hopping this year - I've had an absolute ball discovering this wonderful crafting community. Hope all the book work gets done in time for the ban, and have a wonderful Christmas!

Wow I'm impressed, but how long will it last... Love the pic. Have a good Christmas Francesca #67
ReplyDeleteAh, lovely to see a clean and tidy desk, sort of puts the finishing touch on Christmas, like saying you're all ready, peaceful and calm before the big day. Hopefully that's true!! Honestly, you and Jan shouldn't be allowed out together!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas,
Hugs

Just found this fun place to be! HOORAY!!
ReplyDeleteA SPECTACULAR card and an idea to beg borrow or steal. a years from now will be frenetically web searching for 'where was that great...." This is my second "0"week as far a # posting this week 90 it is obviously the sign of an impending Mayan event or a need to buy tequila for this year's holiday drink!
ReplyDeletethanks Julie for a spirited year.
Merry Christmas Julia! Love the card & I am so happy I found this awesome place! I'm having a great time visiting around the world!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Renee
Well, I've wanted to join in for sometime now and finally have. Now off to catch some eye candy.

ReplyDeleteI was determined to visit this week but changing time zones threw me a little but I'm here at last.
I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic year of visiting WOYWW. It's been brilliant ;D
What a giggle of a card! Brilliant.
Have lots of fun and laughter.

In case you weren't sure...the first work on the previous comment should be 'wishing' (the refresh keeps cutting off the beginning of my typing grrrrr).

ReplyDeleteOh no! That card is scandalizing....NOT! I have more then a few of me on beach with a drink in hand! No better place to have fun. Desk does look rather sad and lonesome. Maybe next week it will be more like it normally is. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the time with family and friends. Vickie #100
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW and Merry Christmas. Karin #101
ReplyDeleteOpps the number changed and please ignore 102 the memory content in Mr linky popped up too.
Julia, you are so sweet, thanks so much for your lovely comment. I've gained so many friends through your blog!
ReplyDeleteJo x
Well, that's an unusual angle for your desk! I like it. My table is pretty uncrafty too; I cleaned it up to have dinner on it (gasp!) and now I'm just sorting out some stamps... nothing inky in sight. Maybe I'll fix that tonight...
ReplyDeleteWISHING YOU ALL A MERRY HOLIDAY AND THE BEST IN THE NEW YEAR!
ReplyDeletelove the card! Enjoy your holiday & your tidy desk :)
ReplyDeleteThe picture of you and Jan is priceless and definitely cheerful! Thanks for sharing and hosting and I hope you have a very Happy Christmas. Caro (#65)
ReplyDeleteVery tidy! I am impressed - hope you have a wonderful Christmas and thanks for visiting me :)
ReplyDeleteI was in such a rush to post and get to work yesterday that I forgot to comment, sorry! Wishing you and yours a very happy Christmas next week!! Thanks for the "gift" of WOYWW that keeps us crafting, keeps us honest, and provides a little bit of sociability for those of us more comfortable with distress inks than large gatherings. *grin* ~ Laura #77
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and lovely comment, Julia. I am not nearly as exhausted after this bout of sorting as I was after the last, but of course it could be delayed till tomorrow! Ernest now has one new paw and a second one in progress. Hopefully there will be some pictures soon! My hubby is thrilled that he is being mended.
ReplyDeleteShoshi #47
It's so good to be back! I really like your workspace and all the little cozy spots to put things. :)
ReplyDeletehappy WOYWW, Julia!
ReplyDeletemay you and your loved ones have a joyful Christmas season
and a blessed new year ahead! judging from your picture, i'm sure you'll be having a grand time, LOL!
