It's Wednesday the day we share our desks, Ms Julia (HERE) will let you visit and partake
I want to say THANK YOU to all who left Condolences about the passing of my Mother. One week ago today I had a feeling I needed to go visit. 9 am when I arrived I knew there was a big issue. At 10:50 she took her last breath. You know that "GUT" feeling always give in to it.
I am so thankful I was there with her.
Your support and kinds words are so appreciated. I will truly miss her. I don't know what it will be like to go to the neighboring town for groceries and not stop to see her. My post below this has her Obituary.
We are delaying a "Celebration of her Life" until the weather turns nice. Too many have very long distances to travel. And she would have wanted us to all be together.
I played catch up for Jan/Feb on the Take 3 collage challenge with a FB group Vintage Gluebooks
My desk 2 workspaces:
The real work space moved to the table on the left and I love my Tonic glass mat. Working on mini collage Rolodex cards. Thank you for the comments left on last posting.
Thank you for stopping by May you have a great week.

It's a wonderful thing to be close to parents so many people miss out because they are forced to live away but you've had time with her and I know she will have appreciated that. Sending big gentle hugs, Angela x15x
It takes time to adapt to missing a special person in our lives so allow yourself to heal my friend.
Sending your big hugs.

Both your spaces look quite industrious. Your collage challenges look great too!
It just will take some time to get used to not going to visit your Mom when you visit the town. It has been many years since my Mom passed and some days I still have my hand on my phone to call and check on her. It was a daily habit and very hard to break. Thinking of you my friend. I like your glass mat, I wish mine was light colored like yours instead of black. Happy WOYWW!

Oh I am so sorry to hear that your mum has died, I must have missed your news...apologies. At least you got there in time, she'll have known that you were there. What a lovely post about her as well, she looks a beautiful person.
Crafting helps in the aftermath, it's good for the hands to be doing something while the brain is working overtime.
Sending you huge hugs,

Hi Sylvia, my deepest sympathy on your loss.So happy though that you got there in time to be with her at the end. My Ex Husband died fairly suddenly on Valentines day, and two of our Sons couldn't get there in time, they are quite upset about it.The journal looks lovely, you'll have hours of enjoyment from that.Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4 X
So sorry to hear about your loss, Sylvia. Your words took me back to when I lost my mother. It's been many years now and I miss her still but I have wonderful memories of her and they help me get by. Your memories of a lovely lady will help you too. Looks like you have a beautiful journal to record it all in. Take care. Elizabeth x #22

I am so very sorry to hear about your mom Sylvia, and I am glad for both of you, that you were able to be with her. that looks really smart to have two spaces as I tend to have a drop spots too.

Hi Sylvia, so sorry to hear about your mother, and thankful you were able to be with her. My mother lived in the next street to me, and it was strange passing her house every day and not popping in - especially when my 3 year old wanted to see grandma! Sending you hugs, Heather xx #26
Happy WOYWW. A beautiful obituary for your mum. How precious that you were holding her hand at the end. Ali x. #13
