WOYWW 811/31: One Week to Christmas

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday) which was the brainchild of Julia, who was kindly entrusted it to me to continue after 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch. 

I think I have enough watercolour journals for my daily art next year.  I will probably swap between drawings and watercolours depending whether I am at work on a particular day or not.

This time next week it will be Christmas Day.  I totally understand that you will all be extremely busy with family and friends and I am not expecting many to join in next week.  I will however set up a post for those that wish to drop in later in the week.







It's my last day of teaching today for 2024, as on Friday I will be accompanying KS3 on their reward trip.  I will ensure all the marking is done before then so I can enjoy Christmas with a guilt free conscience!

Happy WOYWW - stay safe everyone.

My goodness, that is a lot of books. Is it a "library" of books - ie the collective noun. Just looked it up and it could be either "library, pile or stack". Well, you have a lot of them!
Enjoy your reward trip , now you have me wondering where you are going. I hope it is somewhere nice and warm.
Not sure if I will be up next week or not but I will be thinking of you and the other woyww'ers at some time during the day.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

Glad you are all set with the books for next year's daily art. Don't think I will be doing the same again although as I really ought to get back to the scraping. Loving your collages this week, especially the B&W backing papers and the POP of red.
As I said not quite so busy here so I should be around next week, Have a lovely Christmas, Hugs BJ#10

Hi Sarah they look like quality journals and a nice size too but I don't recognise the make, I'd be interested to know where you got them from. Hope you enjoy your trip out on friday. I will be around for a while next Wednesday and have an idea for something to go on my blog for anyone who might what to pop by. Hope your Christmas is a happy one. Hugs Angela x9x

I thought I had commented but it obviously didn't come through... Lovely to see you are all organised for next year's project! Love this week's collage clusters. I am now at the holiday house for Christmas...with no internet so am struggling along with just my phone. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
