woyww - portrait of a cat

Not the best light but I did get up early to try and post before the rush.  Why rush? Work deadlines plus getting teenager to school on time!!

My desk is almost tidy as I hide away the woyww anniversary gift but you can  still see bits and pieces laying around on the desk.  ATC stamp, ink,  a peg (no idea why, a bit like the hammer last week) and a stamped image on a book page which will be joining the altered book. A background page which I discovered under my mat.

But my pride and joy is the pencil sketch of kitty.  A gift from the teenager who organised a school friend to draw kitty as she slept on my bed.  A very talented school friend ....

Off to visit woyww and see lots of desks from really talented crafters all over the globe.

  1. Hi Sandra,
    That kitty sketch is fabulous! What a talented girl! Is that stamped book page the one I found in your magazine? It's really good, I'm sure it will go nicely in your altered book.
    Happy WOYWW 3rd Anniversary!

  2. Hi Sandra I am your ATC swap buddy! Please email me your address so I can get my card off to you - it has a long way to go it seems. How exciting! Your desk looks very serene this morning. As does the fabulous kitty! I don't think that talented teen is going to have any trouble passing their Art exam! I look forward to hearing from you. Happy WOYWW Birthday to you from Helen 83

  5. Happy 3rd WOYWW!!
    Oh, thank you for sending me an ATC. But I'll only show you mine if you show me yours *grin* so please could you email me your address via the link on my page. You won't be getting an ATC back but hmmmmm, what could it possibly be?? :)
    Like you, I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this amazing group for a year, how wonderful to have forged friendships with folk who I would never have met otherwise. And Julia is incredibly modest about it all!

  13. That's a beautiful portrait of kitty! The teenager's friend is quite talented. I love the paw over the eyes and how kitty is off the page, like, "Leave me alone; I'm napping can't you see?" Nice surprise background page under the mat. I love finding unexpected random things in random places (not good at all when you are actually looking for something though).

  15. Sandra, the kitty portrait is great. Really beautiful! I love the way you have unexpected things turn up on your desk. There must be an intriguing story behind them!

    Thank you for your absolutely lovely comment on my blog. You are soooo kind! I will email you my snail mail address. I'm reallly sorry I haven't been able to take part in the ATC swap but I'm so behind with everything in my life at the moment and have had a lot of unavoidable days out (all enjoyable!) but what I really need now is a good long stretch of rest and nothing else - just peace and quiet and catching up with myself lol!! I shall treasure your ATC, I know I will!

    Happy birthday for yesterday! May is absolutely the best month for your birthday, I always think. We had such a nice day out together today, my hubby and I, and had a nice meal out this evening.

    I will email you. Happy WOYWW,
