What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 261: The one where she shows the aftermath

I'd like to begin by quoting a message I sent to Julia when I sent my ATCs to her:

I know I put it in the letter, but PLEASE tell everyone I don't want anything in return.

The letter I referred to was the one I sent with the ATCs.  You would think that TWICE would be enough.  But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.  For some reason, Julia, blessed and wonderful person she is, seems to have surprised me by taking it on herself to send me some ATCs from very talented crafters who were at the crop.  I didn't expect it, I didn't want it, I didn't want to put anyone out, especially Julia, who has done so much for me already.  So how did I know about this?  I first read about it when Jan (LLJ) left a comment, then Helen (H), then Chris (pear shaped), and Cindy (my name is).

In case you're confused as to the words in parentheses, you aren't a desker, because these are how we know each other.  See, no one calls me "Altered Book Lover," because that's not how they know me.  I'm Bleubeard and Elizabeth.  I'm the smart half.  Bleubeard's the lovely-to-look-at half and the face of my blog.  As an aside, there are lots of Elizabeth's on the internet, but only one who can claim a BLEU (as in bleu cheese, such as French Roquefort, Fourme d'Ambert and Bleu d'Auvergne) BEARD (as in having chin whiskers).

But you want to see my desk, not read about my desker name.  And Julia wants me to be brief, which this week I am NOT.

The lovely Robyn at Rainbow Weavers. was my PIF.  These are the only rocking horses you will see this week.  Sorry, but this post is long enough without adding more. Yes, she has received it, so I can show it.

Now we're going to do the time warp and go back about two weeks.  Before the crop, before the anniversary, before things got crazy, I received the most lovely ATC, tag, anaglyptus paper (which I don't show) and something some of you might recognize.  Of course, I also have three lovely letters here, too.  More on those later when I open them. Letters from left to right: Julia, Annette, Sandra de.

The above mentioned gifts were from Kyla, and the "thing" some of you may have recognized is the stamp pad cleaner like the one shown in the photo.  Kyla brought hers to the crop and I asked LLJan if I could use the photo.  When I told her why I wanted it, her dear hubby, Gordon even cropped the photo for me.  All I can say is THANK YOU BEYOND BELIEF, Kyla.  I'm more grateful than you will ever know for all the lovely things you sent me.  And thanks to LLJ and Mr. LLJ, too.

Can you believe all these wonderful gifts I received?  I never asked for a single one.  In fact, I didn't want anything from anyone.  But I said that earlier, so now, I'll shut up and let photo hog WOYWWendy show you what awesome gifts I received.  And yes, I mostly used everyone's name, not what we normally call them, because it was easier and took less space.

Thank you again, ladies.  I'm more than grateful.

If coming from our wonderful Queen of the Deskers, please leave your number.  I'll have a better chance of finding you that way.
