What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 209

There's some descriptive text about how why and what this WOYWW thing is, to be found here.



My desk, bathed in Tuesday's late sunshine bliss.  But, it is a bit staged.  I was just getting around to having a long hard study of the ATCs and things that I've been lucky enough to score since WOYWW4 last week, and decided I should photograph them in good light.  Rubbish idea, too much shadow and contrast; even this amateur photographer could tell that.  So then I got distracted and went outside to do something and.....never got back to them.  Maybe I'll show off about them tomorrow!  Meanwhile my desire to spend time at the old desk is being eclipsed by the need to - another Crop at the weekend.  One where I actually do more  than make tea and watch everyone else crafting away.  Apparently - watch this space!  
So share your workdesk with us will you?  Put WOYWW in your post title - make it about your desk and what you're working on and we'll try to pop round for a visit.  Same old same old then for year 5.  Yep.  Plus ca change, la meme ca change. (Insert your own reflex and cedillas please!)

    Even if it leaves a few shadows, I'd much rather see the sun than have the rain! I do love the picture of the pointing finger! Happy WOYWW. Pam#5

    It's a really lovely bit of sunshine on your desk. The more things change at my desk, it's because I move them around (grin).

    Happy WOYWW dear friend. Gosh I didn't even look to see what my number is when I wrote my comment to you!

    Ooh French lessons, Julia, how fab see how much you learn on WOYWW ;D

    ..the pace of your life wears me out you know, Julia.. or the thought of it does - doing another crop requiring more than tea plus no doubt working with wood and few other such chores in your everyday life ..

    ..soooo pleased to see dont need to send you any sunshine .. well done!!

    ..have fab WOYWW as we rocket into the fifth year :D Shaz in oz.x #3 I tink!

    OK, had to do a little research to figure out how you ended your post, lol This girl from the small mountains had no idea, but the more it changes, the more it's the same thing is a true statement. Hope you have tons of fun at your crop this week end! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥ # 12

    So great to see the sun again, isn't it?
    Your ATC's look wonderful but methinks there will be a flood more arriving over the next few days...
    This is going to be such a fun week...perhaps even better than last week as we will get to see what everyone has made or received so far!
    Off to start the adventure!

    Love the ATC's you have there and wonderful to see that beautiful sunshine. The pointy finger is kinda cool. I had a look at the crop photo, great to actually see the people who I write to. Now I can picture them in my mind when I read the blogs and write to them and you, of course.
    Have a great week.

    I've always loved the number 5!! I so understand about going off to do just a bit and then - whoops - I either forget or don't quite get back around again. ATC's are such fun...little bits of play. Thanks for that idea and the swap again. Looking forward to my posts these days I am. Fun too to see you all at the crop - just shuckin' and jivin'...or something like that. Happy Wednesday Ms. Julia.

    It was all rather hectic last week wasn't it and the crop too, you must be pooped. Know what you mean about too much sunlight for photographs, we're never happy with the weather are we? LOL. Good job there is Google translate despite a splattering of schoolgirl French I couldn't get the meaning right, it this it? "More it changes, it changes the same." Hmmm still not right methinks! Thanks for everything BJ#22.

    Morning Miss Julia! Lovely looking desk this morning bathed in sunshine. Better than today's grey we have here. I spy some lovely ATCs there. Love that hand. Donna offered me on but I was on the wrong side of the desk and got distracted by something shiny, (or was it cake?), and never got one. Never mind ey!
    Fabulous day on Saturday. Still smiling when I think of it!

    Happy WOYWW. This sunshine is amazing, but so distracting. I keep wanting to go outside - and even dusted down my gardening tools to have a bit of a tidy up! We shouldn't complain about our usual weather too much, as at least it enables us to craft inside without wanting to go outside! Ali x #48

    I am so happy that I am not the only one distracted by shiny objects! Or just plain objects. I think that's why my desk always looks so unfinished. Glad to hear I'm not the only one that accomplishes little at crops. I spend so much time chatting. I think I need to learn to do two things at once! Have a great crop! May you accomplish much and still have time for tea!

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all the posts after the crop - I can see I missed a great day. And, in response to your comment today, I'm not a bit surprised that you are, as you say, behind in commenting from last week - with your schedule it has to be inevitable and it's definitely not a problem.

    Your desk looks great with all your ATC’s on it and I bet that’s just a few of them. I know for a fact that there’s at least one more to come……mine. I was one piece missing, which I brought today, so it will go in the post tomorrow.

    Have a great week and……..

    Hi Julia! It's been a month since I have been able to participate in our weekly snoop and I am so anxious to see how everyone is doing and what crafty goodness they are sharing.

    It looks like you received some beautiful ATCs. I can't wait to see them. I missed it this time but I did participate in the last one and it was a lot of fun.

    If you have time, come play at my desk if not, that's okay too. This list is growing and I really don't know how you visit so many desks.

    Thanks for keeping this fun weekly snoop up and running.

    Have a blessed day!

    Direct sunlight is great for working in, but not so good for photos. Congrats on 4 years + of Woyww!

    Hi Julia, Happy WOYWW (on Thursday).

    I get distracted all the time, the worst times to do that is when I have left something cooking on the hob! I see lovely things on your desk! I wouldn't have been able to make the crop at the weekend, I was so ill!

    Hi Julia,

    I didn't participate this week, knowing I couldn't get around to visit many people.

    I like the new layout of your blog. Blogger is messing around with mine and I'm not happy about it! I did some changes but still not happy. Oh well.

    I haven't sent my ATCs to anyone abroad yet as I have to the post office to buy stamps. I'll be getting them out this weekend.

    I see you already have a nice assortment!

    Hugs,
    kay

    Hmm, I'm thinking I neglected to leave a comment the other day, sorry about that! I'm pretty sure I didn't because I haven't had time to make any visits yet so I thought I would start with you. :) Thanks as always for hostessing this hop and your desk is looking busy, as usual. Looks like you've scored some fab ATC's so far! Hugs, Deeyll #144
