Happy 5th Anniversary of WOYWW + Cards for Lauryn

WOYWW 5  - What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday

In the land of Blog, there is a hop called WOYWW,

For running it, our Head-desker, Julia, must needs take a bow,

All over the world she gathers desks all in a row,

And thereupon we Bloggers our work we do show.

It’s our fifth anniversary which has come upon us now,

So let’s all join together to celebrate our fifth WOYWW!
SLG 2.4.14

Okay for the uninitiated.... the WOYWW or "What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday" is the first, biggest and longest blog hop, in which I have ever taken part! Every Wednesday, if able in fact, since first week in Jan 2011! All the details will be made clearer over here at Julia's blog and see all the exciting desks of the world, folks, do! {Warning - it is addictive}

Well a lot going on my desk today, in Centre a swap atc from all the way in South Africa from Bella. Thanks so much Bella! {also sent one to Julia and one to Anne, (see below) both as a RAK. Have one other one with card face down, on desk for my PiF. On left is some stamping completed ready for attacking (not sure how mixed ideas :D stay tuned). On right is the butterfly stencil from Mrs A. which did trial embossing with.. for Butterfly challenge prize woohoo! thanks Mrs A.! Big Monkey is proudly wearing his WOYWW badge :D
Also sharing a card for Lauryn on desk (please see Lauryn's Facebook updated daily here)..

This card was started back here when showed you how to cut a die outside the image. 
Little Lauryn is fighting leukemia, a VERY big battle for one very little 2 years old girl - see original post here, with her address.. (but Facebook has regular updates). Monday she was in hospital having more transfusions. Some of you who make gifts might like to do that? a wee one, instead of a card to post? and all prayers prayed will help too, as the battle is still ongoing.

 Also just found there are some digis to buy which will help her with medical costs:

Here is my card (just tip for you ... dont use glossy accents with water markers.. they bled!)

 

And to close here are the shots from Australia today .. from a  walk a while ago I took some black cockatoos on mobile hence poor image, tree was tall. Actually have a number of black cockatoos... several different varieties see here and here for further images etc. second photo is of their view but had to take it from human height not bird height :D. These were the red tailed ones, I think, but we also get the yellow tailed ones in our yard.

Again my time for replying is limited but will get there eventually, even if does take all week.. so thank you for popping over for peek and chat. For those last week who hoped my camera would sorted, have a new one on layby. This one is holding up - just! :D all good.. in end.

May God bless your day everyone, wherever you may be ~ and HAPPY WOYWW5 everyone!
