What's On Your Workdesk this 262nd Wednesday: the one where she gets more mail

PLEASE NOTE: Our beloved Julia is in the hospital while on holiday.  I just read it on Jan's blog (LLJ), so I know it's true.  Jan asks that you not e-mail Julia, but send any requests to Jan, who will pass them on when Julia is better.

I almost didn't join WOYWW and Julia, our wonderful host, because I had NOTHING to show.  I also worried because I tried to visit others, but with limited time and no linky till very late, I apologize because I simply didn't make it to many of my wonderful friends' doorsteps for week 261. However, something wonderful happened about 5 pm, when my attitude changed because my mail person showed up at my doorstep.


I knew WOYWWendy was good for something, and today it was to hold the rocking horse of the week.  It's still in its case.  But that's not the good news.  The good news is I got mail.  Real mail. Mail from afar.  Mail I didn't ask for.

Out of the large envelope came these gorgeous beauties from much younger sister Annie (Wipso, whose ATC and card are at the bottom) and Jo (Twiglet, whose decorated envie and stunning collage ATC are at the top) from the UK.  These gals are seamstresses, make felted art, and crochet, yet they put their skills to great use as paper AND fabric artists who sent hugs with their absolutely gorgeous ATCs.

Can you guess what rocked out of the smaller envie, also from the UK?  Jackie at Scrap, Bang, Wallop sent these two beauties.  I was simply overwhelmed, because she makes such gorgeous art.  Although you know I LOVE her stamping skills, I also LOVE that Christmas stamp that Jackie added to this wonderful ATC.

Thanks again, ladies, because I'm super impressed with all this art and your skills blow me away.

If coming from Julia's, and there just happens to be a linky this week, please leave the number you get, and I will be by to visit.  It may be later in the week, because I'm helping my neighbor clean her house that has pretty much turned into what could be an episode of "Hoarders."  Last week it was the office, which we cleaned enough for her to get into it, and this week it's the kitchen.  I found and cleaned the kitchen table three days ago, and it was buried again this morning when I was there!  Like I said, I'll get to your place as time permits this week.  I will make it a priority.
