woyww -mail

My desk has a lovely assortment of ATC's and cards from the swap.  Wipso and Twiglet's atc arrived on the day and Claire's soon after and I am impressed on their organisational skills.  Women like that should be running the country.  The other lovely card is from RosA who always remembers my birthday.  Thank you.
A pic of the best of the landscapes I did at the workshop.  As my teacher commented "our brains learn faster then our hands" and I do agree. By the end of the day my hands could no longer follow any instruction given by my brain.  Quite frustrating but I have to admit to enjoying the process rather then the end result.  
Now I am off to visit lots of desks ......which is always fun.

    Brain learns faster than hands? Well, I wish my brain was as smart as my hands! lol
    My finals are 3 days away and all I do is craft! (I study, but meh, let's make some cards! lol)

    Love the painting. You're so talented. :)
    Those are some lovely ATCs you've got.

    Happy WOYWW. xx
    P.S.
    It's my blogiversary and I've got candy to celebrate!

    I really love your latest pic. You are so talented.
    Thanks so much for the gorgeous ATC...life has just got in my way and I haven't managed to email all my friends who have sent mine to me [Sorry]. I love them all and the fact that they were sent by friends I haven't met [as yet].
    Hugs,

    Hi there,
    Just popping in briefly, I'm supposed to be mowing the lawn!
    Still, this is a better way to spend the morning in my opinion.
    Your painting looks cool from here!
    Hope you have a great week.

    The landscape looks good. Will look forward to seeing it IRL.
    Yes, that Matisse gel is a nuisance the way the lid always sticks and if you don't try opening it regularly it threatens to glue shut permanently!

    Ahh, so THAT'S why I have these amazing ideas that never translate into reality quite how I imagined them to!!! My brain is too fast, lol....that's not what my husband would say. I think I'm more like those giant tortoises on the Galápagos Islands, ambling along at their own slow pace.....
    I LOVED the ATC! My fav so far!!
    Hugs, LLJ 36 xxxx

    Your painting is beautiful, Sandra. We are always very self critical but I would happily put this on my wall.
    You have a lovely crop of ATC's there, I agree, those that arrived prior to the day amazed me, i wish I was that organised!!
    Hope you are having a good week. The sun is still shining here, yay!!!

    Hi Sandra, I'm not sure I wished you a happy birthday already so if I haven't belated wishes to you and I hope you had a lovely day. The ATCs and cards you've received are lovely, and, yes, with organisational skills like theirs, they should be running the world, or at least the country :) And I am so impressed with your landscape, it's beautiful, you are so talented - I wish I could paint like that. Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Elizabeth x #56
