I'm working on another page in my journal, sorting and sticking...
Then, there's a new photo next to the lamp...
... of my dear friend Brenda, taken several years ago when she visited and we had some days in Oxford - that's my old college, LMH, in the background.
The frame is a belated birthday pressie from Jane, who I had lunch with on Saturday :)
In the sorting, I found this lovely painting Zorana sent me a couple of years ago - I wondered where it had gone!
It's painted on corrugated cardboard!
And finally, here's two more ATCs I received this past week
The gorgeous mini-painting on the left is from Peggy - isn't the woman just beautiful? And can you believe, she's wearing a little crown in the shape WOYWW??
The fun summer tag and very English ATC are from the lovely Cindy - I have been truly spoilt this week, haven't I???
Now, I need to see what you've all been up to over at Julia's Stamping Ground...
Much love xxx

Busy desk today Claire! And wow haven't you received some beautiful and inspirational artwork? Luck you. MMx #70
I love your workdesk - it looks so neat and organised, and it must be lovely to look out at the garden while you are working.
Hope you have a great week.

Absolutely stunning ATCs, as is the painting on cardboard! I once painted a picture of some rocks, in a pile, on the back of a piece of wall panelling, a scrap. I think I was about 10 or 12 at the time. My mother STILL has it hanging in their dining room. Being faced with that every day made me think twice about proper "painting" LOL! The face is quite haunting - shame the artist and you lost touch.
Must babble less when commenting or I'll never make any progress on the desk hop....
:)
Happy WOYWW!

Hi Claire thanks for stopping by!! Lots on your desk, I like the frame with the little hearts - I have one like that somewhere I may 'adapt'!! Nothing like a bit of flagrant plagiarism. Glad you received your goodies safely and apols again for the delay. That other ATC must be Peggy Appleseeds - her work is awesome, you lucky girl!! Have a good day, hugs Cindy
What fabulous atc's you got and what a fantastic picture on the corrugated card. You must display that, it is gorgeous.
Thanks for visiting me earlier - Hugs, Neet xx 16
Some lovely happy mail you have there! Abd what a gorgeous view from you window!
Thanks for visiting, happy WOYWW,

yeah Claire, when we meet, I need to take you aside and explain what 'untidy' really means!! How nice to have new art and photos on your desk..bet they inspire your next few pages.
Lovely ATCs you have on show and the painting on cardboard is really fab, love the crackle effect on it. Happy WOYWW from Annette #9
Beautiful desk this week Claire, love the atc's and the painting is really lovely. That's a lovely frame too, it'll remind you of both friends, the one in the picture and the one who gave it to you.
Hugs

Hi Claire
I am loving your desk today and what a lovely photo of your friend. That painting is stunning perhaps now you have found it again you could put it in a lovely frame.

Well, I've seen enough...that is, as soon as I saw the washi tape stacked up! What a great idea, to have it right there all handy. Now I want to go out and buy more washi tape! I love your blog (I'm your newest member). Have a great week. Happy WOYWW! Thanks for visiting me too! Sandy Leigh #22
Hi Claire,
Love your desk, and all your painted decorations on your storage containers. Wonderful ATCs, and that painting is a treasure, and I am sure that it means the world to you, even if you have lost touch with your friend.
Thansk for visiting Betsy this week.

Those ATCs are incredible, Claire! Thank you for sharing! I just love your beautiful work space in front of the large and open windows!! I also read through your last 210 WOYWW and I have to say I was moved by your profound journal writing.
Have a wonderful week and thank you for stopping in to the Playhouse and letting me know you came by! Darnell #20

I wouldn't call that 'lotsa' stuff' though I can see you are busy working. Beautiful ATCs you have received. I am waiting for one from Peggy as well, but it will take a while to reach me out here. Thanks for dropping by earlier. Have a good week. Kate x #45
I had to look at that picture with Oxford in the background. I would LOVE to see it in person some day.
Those ATCs are wonderful and show how lucky you really are. Have a super WOYWW from #17.
Awesome picture and the frame is a great gift!! Lovely ATC's too!!
