Yes, it is 4 years since the world-wide blog hopping phenomenon known as
WOYWW (What's on your workdesk Wednesday) was conceived by the amazing
Julia. I have joined in with it faithfully almost every week since discovering it 3 years ago. As a result I have made some on-line friends and have enjoyed nosing around everyone else's creativity, gaining inspiration as I went. As a result I couldn't resist making up a little poem (definitely not my forte) using the acronym as the basis. I would love to know what you think!
Here is my desk for this week's entry. At last (after about 2 months!) those acrylic paints have been put away and the chaos on my desk consists of my smash book and the things I have been making my ATCs out of, namely prima flowers, stamps, and distress inks. The piece of orange card that has my dodgy hand writing on was the first version of the poem... scribbled down late last night so that I didn't forget it! My mug of tea is half-full but going cold as I have been side tracked by making the ATCs. My desk guardians (octopi family) are still protecting my stash for me and you can also see the lovely dangly charm that JoZart made for me and my WOYWW badge.
I have completed another page of my smash book (only 2 months behind!). This one is of Alex's 6th birthday. We had a family day with presents in bed, a treat breakfast and a trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife park. I thought it would be fun to put the photos into the 6 shape and decorate the background with distress ink and doodles. I am entering this into
Kaboodle Doodles 'anything goes',
Cupcake Craft challenges 'boys' (this is all about a little boy!) and
All Sorts 'Happy birthday' challenges.
For those of you who were asking how my weekend went, it was wonderful. Alex and I had a great time with Mum and Dad. We had some wonderful walks, they helped weed my garden and plant some new flowers, and we even managed to fit in some dress shopping. That is all from me for now.
Have a great week.
Love,
Caro

P.S. I do have a few WOYWW4 ATCs going spare if anyone is interested...they will be given out on a first come first serve basis so let me know in the comments if you would like one.

Fab page for your smash book...you'll soon catch up! Love the poem. Happy 4th WOYWW. Pam#33
Lol, the poem is fab!! Much better than what I could have done! Honestly, Caro, my stamping is nothing to write home about....it's only a single layer and is very simple with no embellishments at all.... I don't do complicated!!
Lovely pics of Alex and his grandparents btw!
Happy 4th WOYWW,
hugs, LLJ 9 xx
