Prismacolor + Frangipani + WOYWW

Hullo there everyone .. yes another Wednesday again the second time this year.. really makes me want to pinch myself, when realise it is 2014, seems this decade is flying too .. 

For those not not the know today and every Wednesday rain, hail or shine is WOYWW or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday?" The international learning centre is over at Julia's Stamping Ground!

Without any further ado here is the desk/ table (or you can share the bench/ floor etc.).

Well here tis!! ... am working on a really quick image as was waa-ay behind on a card. These amazing set of pencils {which are enough to make anyone drool} are a set of Prismacolors from my sister for Christmas. On this post way back here borrowed my sister's smaller set and admired them then.. but somehow when she offered this set for a pressie did not realise just how big they were .. and are they beautiful to use??.. they are thrilling! I adore colour pencils - right back since third grade when I was given my first tin of Lakeland pencils. :D Seem to remember Maggie.C talking about her's too!

So here is the card I made with the large sunflower wreath stamp ( ©1995 PSX, Made in USA, no name) - most of card had been done ages ago for a sixtieth card, which I made a mess of the image. Re-did image differently and re-cut numbers, and greeting. Ideally if time had permitted I would have hand cut out the image and layered several times to 3D it, but this needed finishing quickly! Used were Spellbinder circles, Petite ovals and CB Swiss dots folder with Olivia CB numbers, and CB Vintage corners {Oh, and of course, the yellows are matching but dont photograph that way :D curious that}.

 Next are two belated Christmas card received - more below this post .. belated because mail from USA can take a month to Oz! Aren't they beautiful?

To close, I will share the Oz shot of the week - seems to be a tradition now! Wish

we had smell-a-vision for this! It smells so beautiful!

Franginpani from circa 1974

My parents built the home in 1973, some trees on fence line were planted in 1972, but think this one probably was 1974 (forty years old). Was not living here then, so dont know. I adore frangipani (see here) and as you can see this one is taller than the house next door, and our house! It flowers for eight to nine months of the year, like our roses, which are also partly in view. I love the carpet of flowers underneath which forms till lawn is mowed again. :D

I really appreciate all who faithfully come and visit me on this little blog.

A special warm welcome to Sarah (she does some beautiful quilling along with other things) and to Susie , and Annie, who is a WOYWW-er. These are all pretty new bloggers, so do pop over and say hi!

Have noticed this blog's Wonderful Encouragers are getting near 200 mark, which is pretty amazing .. and humbling too.. so am praying about having something to celebrate it, to thank ALL my Wonderful Encouragers. .. maybe a small piece of calligraphy of your choice?..

Well, happy WOYWW everyone! May God bless your day wherever you maybe! and thanks so much for popping over (and even more if you stay for a chat :D)!
