WOYWW 796/16: That Was Quick

 Welcome to WOYWW, the weekly sharing of desks begun over 15 years ago by Julia and kindly entrusted to me.  Please feel free to link up below and/or visit the fabulous desks which are available to see via the links.

I can't quite believe that it's September already - the school holidays have simply flown by.  Today will mark 114 in work days until I retire.  It's also my brother's birthday.

My desk shows the loveliness which are the Colour Cubes by Sarah Renae Clark.  There are 250 cards in each cube with a 5 colour palette as well as a photo using the colours.  On the back are the lighter and darker shades of the same colours.  I bought the complete collection with the e-versions as they also include numbers for various pencils that I have and a searchable version of the cards.  They arrived quickly and no import duties as they are sent from USA/UK/EU locations as appropriate to the order.
As you can see, I have gone back to blue as my colour palette for September, although next month I will go with autumnal colours of reds, yellows, browns and oranges.

First day back with the students so I have no doubt it will be busy.  Meeting after school too so it may be tomorrow before I visit.  I lost 10kg/21lb between annual health checks by the way!

Love those colour cubes, if I had those I would sit and look at them all day. Fabulous!
Happy birthday to your brother and well done to you on the weight loss, not that I think you needed any I always thought of you as lovely and slim.
Love the blue you are going with this month.
Hugs, Neet xx 1

I would love those colour cubes but when I priced them up for Australia they seemed pretty pricey... Maybe I will look again. Good luck with the next 114 days!

Congrats on your countdown to retirement - it will fly by so make sure you have lots of great plans for when you are free๐Ÿ˜ƒ. I agree with Neet - those cubes are fab and I would spend hours just looking through them. x x Jo ๐ŸŒˆ

WOW 21lbs that's amazing. On my Keto diet I lost 4lb in the first 4 weeks, remained the same for a week then put on a lb which I seem to have lost again today! 21lb would be A-Maz-Zing! Love the cubes, have seem them on line and pondered for a moment...Love the deep blue you are using this month. So what does the 114 work days equate to on the calendar, end of this new school year perchance? Hugs BJ#9

It's scary how quick the times goes but I'm sure you enjoyed the holiday. I have never seen the cubes before and they are a brilliant idea, I must have a look for them. Hope the new term goes well. Happy woyww Angela x12x

Wow! Those colour boxes are fab! I've been collecting lots and lots of these on Pinterest, how nice to have them in the boxes! I love the blue for September - no need to run straight into Fall colours! Congrats on the weight loss, and have a wonderful school year! Lindart #15

You should not have shown me these Lol! Like Linda I have collected something similar on Pinterest but couldn't resist these. I ordered them on Wednesday evening and they arrived on Friday afternoon which was quite a surprise, I wish other companies were as good at sending stuff out. Have a good weekend. Hugs Angela xXx
