WOYWW #354

Welcome Happy WOYWW bloggers:  Julia at the STAMPING GROUND is our Host with our Wednesday adventure. She has all the info on her blog. And Thank YOU for stopping by.  Seems Wednesdays come around fast.

My desk has a few remaining watercolor items and a couple of new adult coloring book and colors. Hope to keep one with our vehicle as I wait in it when he's off for parts this spring season. A stack of red lid containers with "little treasures" for ATC's.  Kind of wondering about starting these for WOYWW anniversary exchange. Would like to have some done for the crop gathering this year.


Wanted to enlarge this photo but can't..(wondering why?).hoping you can by clicking on it. I almost had a breakdown on Monday.  I loaded some photos, and went to post them and ALL of my photo file was gone.
We had to go pick up some tractor tires so I decided to tackle the job on Tuesday AM and see what the problem was. I could still use the internet, seemed only the photo file was messed up.Came up with 8.1 having issues a "COM Surrogate is not responding"  Shut things down, went to bed with a prayer that I could find the answer. I have been trying to find a day I could sit and send photos to Shutterfly from our Germany trip and Washington DC vacation and make a booklet.  I was so worried.  I had a backup. But just the thought of spending time rebuilding was depressing. I slept well and  Tuesday AM I tried the system and Holy Moly it had everything in tack.

So later today Shutterfly here I come. May have to be tomorrow. We are having forecast of 60 MPH winds today so I may have to shut down in case of electric outages. 70 degree days and grass is turning green. But tornadoes have been in the area.

 This photo is of a little Easter collage I gathered up.
The 2 little cloth bunnies are part of the days I did a lot of making stuffed animals. The metal wind up rabbit is from my childhood. My grandfather gave me this when I was about 4. Mr. Rabbit did pull a cart filled with green grass and candy eggs. but over the years that seemed to disappear. Not blaming my siblings but.  I left home many years before they did and they seemed like my toys were their treasures. Lucky to have survived with a very few.  The little wooden tulips were made my my dad. He loved to spend his spare time creating also.

Well thanks for visiting, I always love your comments. Have a wonderful week ahead and Happy Creating.

Oh your Easter vignette is lovey, and such wonderful stories you have of some of the pieces Sylvia! Love that. I would say go go go about the ATCS...we'll definitely have an Anniversary swap, although because of my stupid illness we're not planning a get together this side of the year for sure. Stay safe huh, the sound of 60mph winds and tornados is not good!

Hi Sylvia. What a lovely desk area you have - and yes, the picture enlarged just fine when I clicked on it. Gorgeous little stand of treasures - it's so lovely when each item has a story to tell. Hope you survive the huge winds OK.
Glad all was well with your pictures. We keep all ours in "folders" on the computer - and when John put Windows 10 on the laptop the other day they all disappeared. Aaaargh!!! He took the new windows off and there they all were again. Phew!
Take care. God bless.

You have such a lovely stash of lace! The colouring book looks like a lot of fun. My daughter has her own stash of colouring books lol. She collects them like the rest of us collect stash.

We're having high winds here in Michigan too. I made the mistake of taking a walk outside this morning - and got very wet! Lucky the wind only started blowing on the way back, helping me up a hill!

Have a good week

Happy WOYWW. Glad you managed to get those photos back. So many sweet Easter items. Our eldest granddaughter is just 2, and I am hoping that she can come over for an Easter egg hunt this year. Ali x #57

What a nice idea, to make your work idea more festive according to the time of year. I like your rabbit collection. Plus, I also really like how you've organized your work/play area. Everything's so neatly stowed, yet right within reach.
