WOYWW #839

   It is Wednesday so I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed


Can you believe it's July???

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #839.

My desk looks much as I left it two weeks ago. We flew back from Queensland on Sunday - I haven't done any crafting yet! 
It took me quite a while to open all my happy mail - quite a few swaps had arrived - I had posted 11 envelopes at the beginning of our trip - cards and junk journal bits. The blue tassel you can see hanging from one of my junk journals is one of the swaps I received...

I did make another of those envelope pockets - one of the places we stayed in gave their information in an envelope so I decided to upcycle it...


My husband and I like to trawl through all the charity shops - we didn't find much to bring back with us as we were flying, but I did find this lovely sewing bag which proved quite useful as it contained all sorts of bits and bobs including lace.


Apparently it had belonged to an old lady whose daughter had just brought everything to the charity shop when she died...


These are the prompts for Week 5 of ICAD - I am working on catching up!!


All for now...
Happy WOYWW!
