What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 210

Well, less of a desk today and more of an outside table and a message of thanks.  Just look at all these marvellous ATCs that I've received since the WOYWW Anniversary hop.
I devised a really clever way of making sure that I sent an ATC to those that had been promised one.  A list.





And an equally clever way of making sure that I emailed or messaged or commented my thanks for these beauties.  Another list.  But it failed, because I started to use a little symbol against names and after two days of working for Mr Dunnit, I had completely forgotten whether the symbol meant 'sent', 'thanked', 'to send'...Yep.  I'm embarrassed. 
All of these came little gifts are works of art and I am not yet over looking and admiring them - my word, you Deskers are hugely clever.  
THANK YOU.  You have no idea how much I appreciate and enjoy your art.

So now, show and tell time..my desk outdoor or indoor is actually a joinery bench this week....so show me what's on yours, inspire me huh!
Put WOYWW in your blog post title, link here and visiting is enabled.  Easy.

  8. FABULOUS collection of ATCs there! I don't imagine that they would all fit on one desk, either indoors or outdoors!
    Ditto re. list making. I'm a compulsive, obsessive list maker, but it rarely seems to help much, sigh.

    Happy WOYWW, RosA # 11

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wow! That is one fantastic collection. Congrats on the article. I 'know' someone else who has contributed to Featuring previously. It looks like a gorgeous magazine.
    Have a great day at the joinery bench!

    PS The blue Bigshot? It's not an SU thing, just a very old thing and not in either of the fancy new liveries :o)

    ReplyDelete
  13. They are all such gorgeous ATC's. I've spent ages looking at each of them. You are a very lucky lady, bummer about the lists. That is just the sort of thing I would do :).

  14. These are all incredible. How awesome. All those mini art pieces.

    I was at the airport when you went live. It's too bad you had to post so early this week, the one week I was not at home (grin). What can I say? I'm number HUGE this week (21).

  15. Gorgeous times 1,000! How wonderful are these cards! I am ashamed to say my plans to send you one have not materialized as yet, I've been sick and in bed the past week. But I am up and about and have been working on putting the promised ATCs in envelopes. :^)Patsy from

  30. You mean to say you didn't write a list of what the symbols meant? And a list of lists? Shame on you!

    Good news, thou, there's not a single person alive who hasn't done this, even if they're not honest enough to confess.

    Happy WOYWW,
    Love Rachel

  31. They all look like fantastic miniature works of art, I love the sewing picture and atc to match, a masterpiece! Happy WOYWW! #51

  32. see this is one of the reasons why I don't do lists (other than being lazy) if I do a list it quickly becomes incomprehensible, for example what the living daylights is WUL???

  34. Great ATCs there Julia! And well done on the magazine article - you didn't say if it'll be available to buy in newsagents such as W H Smith rather than pay more than half as much again for postage?

  36. What a fab collection - so much crafty talent out there. and the little cross stitch set at the bottom is perfect. x Jo

    ReplyDelete
  37. What a wonderful collection of ATCs you've received! I had plans of sending you one but only got so far as putting your name on the envelope before I left for abroad. I have a list on Google docs but maybe a plain paper list is more effective! Unless I lose it in the mess of my desk!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Your ATCs are brilliant, Julia, and so wonderfully displayed! I'm sorry that your clever system failed you. I'm quite familiar with that failure process. You'll be delighted to know that as you march inexorably on in the aging process, the embarrassment becomes quite minor!

    Congratulations, my dear, on reaching 1300 followers!!! I hope they got that part in your article. It's SO fantastic!!

    Have a wonderful week! xxoo Darnell #64

  39. How nice to have all those lovely envelopes to open instead of bills. Cup of tea and a sit down sounds like the order of the day so that you can enjoy them all.

  42. Good morning, Julia. What a lovely collection of ATCs - beautiful gifts.
    You were kind enough last week to leave a message of encouragement for Mrs D over the news of her DH's operation. I've put an update on my blog this week.
    Thank you from Chris for your prayers for them both.

  60. Hi Julia thanks so much for fixing up link and sorry for hassle more haste less speed as mother would say

    ..and to my horror just saw on my earlier comment that I ended calling you Julie!!!!!.. that surely is akin to someone calling my mother "Joy" - Joyce! (she hated that!)


    ..so hopefully things are "sort of back to normal"

    :D happy WOYWW - and thanks for popping over twice! Shaz in oz.x #4(now!)

  75. Hi Julia,

    What a wonderful collection!! I know what you mean about the asterisk.... I thought I would be more organized than what I was last year about sending out ATCs and again, I feel as though I've failed in some way. I'm planning to do a proper post about all the lovely ATCs that I received as I noticed I'd left one special one out of my desk photo....

    Happy WOYWW

  81. Gorgee-oso ATC's, etc! I'm inspired! When looking at other's ATC's I sometimes wonder, "Hey, why didn't I think of that?" And then I remember, "Oh yeah, it would be pretty boring if we all came up with the same card..." ;)
    Have a great WOYWW!
