When you go away, you often think when you get back, that everyone else's time has stood still, just as yours seems to on holiday. But the cruel truth is..it hasn't and some people are expecting you to deliver on promises. So here you see me attempting just that, and with no time to spare, shame on me.
And on my ipad stand still - Twiglets dumfed WOYWW anniversary card. I'm not ready to put away the collection of beauties that I received.
Now, if you need more information about this WOYWW thing follow THIS LINK. It contains another link that tells you how to join in. If you are ready, please, add your link so that fellow Deskers worldwide can visit and be inspired and inspiring. I thank you!

Wow, 16 people truly IS a challenge. But I know you are up to the task, and we'll see a few results in the near future.
WOYWWendy and I want to thank you for allowing this post and Wendy is waving because she can't seem to sit still.
There is never enough hours sometimes in a day when we try to get some things done on a deadline Goodluck getting it all done I'm surer your going to make it all in time hugs Nikki 6
WOW ...first ever, And I love the dumfed items Twiglet and Wipso make ! Just the sweetest "Little Treasures" I guess I don't see much of that crafty goodness in the states. Scraps! I have them organized by color and in file folders and I've used them much better that way. and within reach. Have a wonderful WOYWW day.
Oh my...I have never been that low of a number on the list before. My lucky day :) I know what you mean about needing the matching things for multiple cards.. whether it is for a workshop or a swap. Seems the searching sometimes takes longer then the project itself.
Blimey, this is early for me. 6.30 and I'm outside eating brekkie as it's too hot already!!
Scraps x16 is quite a lot to find, lol!! Xx

What a beauty of a card, Julia! Ah, regretting I didn't join this year! Happy WOYWW!
I just realise I didn't stop to comment, but just leapt on to visit desks - that must be why your comment count never tallies with the desks that link up!!
I'm sure you'll find enough scraps... even if you have to cut up some big pieces to make them... ahem! Enjoy the end of your holiday xx
A workshop for 16? No that is quite a task....good luck with that one my friend. I'm sure you're up to the task. Let's hope it's a good one for you.
Hugs,

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine Julia. I'm prepping for a workshop myself and need to cadge some old paperback books. Either that or it's a run to the charity shop.

Hope you are having a lovely time.
Hope you got your prep done ready for the workshop. Loving the little card on your stand.
Happy WOYWW

Talk about hitting the ground running. That is certainly one busy desk.

Good morning Julia.
Sounds like you are super busy.
Love the Poppy card from a couple of posts back that you made and your shield is looking fabulous.
Also in this post where is says THIS LINK, it isn't linked ;)
Have a fabulous week hun :) #23
Hope you feel refreshed after your break - your desk looks ready to go!! x the dumfling maker.
Hi Julia I feel your pain- I am prepping for 13 - it's very time consuming - do enjoy it but some requested specific makes and it's not so easy . Love your ATC - dumfling. Annex #31

Lovely dumfed card, Julia. Felt is so gorgeous! I actually managed to do some art yesterday so I've got a "real" desk to show. About time.
Happy WOYWW,

Hi Julia...oh my, 16 packs wow I have enough trouble trying to decided on one card - lucky we do have those paper packs that are at least colour co-ordinated...then my problem is getting a plain cardstock to match. Love that dumfling Jo made she is so talented. Enjoy your week Cheers RobynO#28
Busy, busy, that's the only way to be ...... not! I find my busyness comes in waves and I have just jumped off one but I guess you're about to ride yours - have fun.
Thanks for hosting

Good Morning Julia and all WOYWW friends. I'm back for my second visit and looking forward to a nosey round again. xx
Gosh a class of 16 sounds like hard work, and a lot of resources! Love the needlefelted card - it's so pretty.
Hope you have a great week,
Diana #32
Loving the sunny colours! I bet finding enough scraps is actually hard work. I know my scraps are well scrappy! Have a lovely day. Take care Zo xx
Beautiful ATC! 16 people!!!!! wow.....and after vacation to boot --- my head would refuse to cooperate to pull that off. It always takes me awhile to settle in after vacation. Different mindset, different world. Enjoy the workshop. I'm betting thet there will be lots of laughter and talk. Sounds good to me. :) Nann4 #38
Oops, hope the workshop goes well.
I looked at the previous post as well and was impressed by DD's determination to make a shield. And a very good job she did indeed.
Your poppy card is gorgeous. If you have some tiny weeny little black beads, they would look good in the center too wouldn't they?
Have a good week,
Lisca#29
I know exactly what you mean about coming back from vacations. Good luck catching up. Blessings!
Good luck with your prep..and I know what you mean about the paper packs...mine are doing just that...stored safely uncut in a special box; 'cause I gotta have them. Maybe if they didn't discontinue the patterns so often???!!!
Returning to reality after a vacation is never all that fun, especially when a deadline looms. You make me feel a little less guilty about my obsession for 6x6 pads, can't seems to ever pass them up! Diane #34

Ugh, deadlines, who came up with those awful things? Although, for us procrastinators they seem to do the trick. You are a braver woman than I for taking on a workshop of 16.
Hope you are well rested from your lovely holiday!
Hugs,
Michelle #46
You'll need another holiday after you've finished Julia, hope you get it all finished on time.

And yet in the midst of your "shame" is a desk full of cuteness and potential! Why are those 6X6 pads so irresistible? Maybe it's because they are not as demanding as a 12X12 pad, they don't cost much, and they're just as pretty. I'm very scrappy lately and I would sign up for your workshop in a minute! Hugs. Sandy Leigh
It does feel a bit like time is speeding up the past few weeks! Good luck xxx

no time off goes unpunished - lol. But you should be well rested and full of creativity. :-)

that is a beautiful card :) and yep, I rip up my 6" pads every so often and sort them into hanging file folders sorted by the "main" color of them when I squint so I totally get that :) ~Stacy #50
Love the Sheena on your desk and all the beauty of the WOYWW card. Peg 52
Is Twig's card needlefelted? Whatever it is, it's gorgeous!
Happy Woyww,
Sandy #26
Good Luck in your quest for matching papers! I thought time was whizzing here but I can imagine how quickly you feel the deadline coming on!! Nearly didn't join in but nosiness got the better of me!!! Hugs Chrisx 54
That really is an amazing ATC!I'd be loathe to put it away too. The cards for the workshop are off to a flying start! I love your tiny paper cutter. I'd love to buy a smaller one, but that's money not buying a stamp set lol.
Julia,
Sorry haven't been around or had time to stop by let along join in with the desker's. always thinking of you all. Now that is one really beautiful card sitting on the desk and I don't think I could ever put it away, it has right to stay on the desk forever. Anyway must fly have an appointment and just got back from Canberra interstate. Just saying hi and yes I am still around miss you all.
Hugs Eliza
An early morning visit to your desk Julia, as the sun (and temperature) has not rose that high yet... I too love those scrap-blocks and cut op the paper to use the scraps in my art journal. 16 people in a workshop is a lot! Enjoy, stay cool, love from the Netherlands, Marit #25
Volunteered on Monday to do a workshop on Saturday. Luckily I had something prepped from a while ago so I stepped in with that. Now I just have to remember how to do it myself. Oops!
Good luck with your workshop, hope you found enough papers for them.
Hugs, Neet 18 xx
I didn't get around to posting this week, but stopping by to say "hi". I wish I could give you some of my scraps! I have drawers full! I should just toss them, would sure simplify my life! LOL
Oh dear, Julia, I didn't stop to comment yesterday after blogging - slap my hand and must do better, especially as I haven't been around so much recently! Some scrappers use 6x6 pads for layouts but. like you, I still think of them as the perfect size for cardmaking. Twiglet is an ace dumfer and that ATC is gorgeous :) Hugs, Elizabeth x #43
Okay, dear Julia, am very late .. but do have a late note :D
well kinda.. so know what you men in your post about chasing your tail, seems to be what I specialize in of late :D maybe its called getting older.. or trying to do too much!
LOVE the atc of the two dumfing sisters, aren't they so clever, dear Jo and Annie!
