Welcome gentle deskers....this is the day we share our desks and get to visit all who partake.
Ms. Julia HERE at the STAMPING GROUND has created a wonderful way to communicate all over our world.
My desk today:
I want to start some journals and so I need a new beginning.
The lace/glue/eggs got boxed up, I will need to order glue and work on a few other projects. Thanks for your input on glues.
And I did manage to read about posting photos from my phone. Think I have it mastered but who knows. Things change daily.
Stay safe...we are still allowed to go out for only necessary things,(groceries, prescriptions, etc) but most things are closed. Take out foods only and distance from people when out. We have 2 cases (husband and wife who returned from Spain)within 3 miles and 1 more in our county about 30 miles away. I've gone no where in 9 days.
Truthfully we need a warm up and sunshine, to get rid of the dampness here. Blessings to all, may you find your inner peace and all good things to come your way

Yep, self isolating is the norm now as where you live, this is my 12th day - or should I say 'ours'. Neither have been out, doesn't bother me but the other half is getting a bit stir crazy I think. We are lucky with having crafting as a hobby so keep it going.
That's a lovely collage you have done, such an amusing picture of the two birds, wonder what they are saying to one another.
Sounds as if your area is being good with so few cases, here's hoping it stays that way and you stay safe and well.
Take care, Hugs, Neet 7 xx
we are going to be more grateful than ever for this virtual get together in the coming weeks! Love your neat tidy desk ready for your next project! Have a great week. Helen #5
Hello Sylvia, good to hear you are staying home and safe. Strange times for all of us and I give thanks for a lovely community that we can pop in and see what is on everyone's desk. I absolutely love the collage and think you have done a wonderful job including all those prompts. Have a good week.

Glad that you are managing to stay safe Sylvia. Love the page, a challenging variety of prompts too. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #10

Morning Sylvia. Yes, we are now limited to going out for essentials only with all but POs, banks grocery stores, pharmacies open now. Who knows when we will be free to visit our families next? Mine live a good way away, so I am learning new life skills on my mobile phone!!! These are challenging, constantly shifting times. I am so thankful for my faith in God, as I look to him for wisdom in how to pray and care for others and our world. I love that little collage - I'm presuming the birds are an American woodpecker?
Take care. Stay safe. God bless.

Yes we are on day 10 (I think) of lockdown. Will come to us all. Glad we are crafters and have plenty of crafts to keep us occupied. ANi#14
I don’t know of any cases locally, but to be honest Sylvia, I’ve stopped listening to most of it, it just boggles my mind. I did catch the news last night that your President wants things back to normal for Easter. Him and the rest of the world!! I love your collage...what a great way to answer all those prompts. I would have taken one look at the list and passed out! I’ve just been to Glenda’s and she’s started another journal too, am excited to see where you go with yours!
I love the woodpecker pic! Birds are my thing. Keeping busy at home with crafts etc - beautiful day today - hardly any planes in the sky - the air seems fresher and the sky looks a brighter blue! xx Jo
I'm so glad you are well! Isn't this a crazy world we are living in my friend! I think I'm on day 8 of isolation here but I've been a huge home body for a long time so I really don't feel too isolated. We have had so much rain here and are due some days of drying here so I'm hoping to get caught up on yard work. I'm still struggling with off loading photos from my phone. It is driving me crazY!

We may be in isolation but ti's good to catch up with our lovely WOYWW community here today! I'm glad that you've got a new project on the go and that you found the right glue!!! Hope you keep safe and well,
Hugs LLJ 2 xxx
Enjoy your new journals . I am the only one allowed out as hubby has a compromised immune system- i have to go pick up some medications at some point today and we are "hopefully" getting a food delivery tomorrow. Take care and keep safe. Soojay#21
We are truly blessed to belong to this crafty gang aren't we. Creative folk can always find something to do at times like this and are never bored. I hope you are keeping well.
Stay safe and keep crafting.
Hugs,

Hi Sylvia, we too are being very careful, Hubby goes out on occasion for shopping, or collecting my meds, but I haven't been out for ages now. Not worth it, the pics of all those idiots at the weekend proved that! Love the collage, a perfect fit for the prompt.Stay safe,Have a good week, Huge hugs, Shaz #1 X
Hi Sylvia, it's a crazy world at the moment isn't it. I haven't done anything in my glue book for weeks, today would be a good day to start :)
I can't get on Julia's site for some reason so this is my link:

The little bird collage is lovely - that's a great image of them 'talking' to each other. I'm coping quite well with the lock-down but goodness knows how I'd manage if I didn't have crafting!
Hope you have a good week and stay safe and well,
Hugs, Diana x #22
Hi Sylvia! Your desk is looking rather lovely. I want that stand you have your twine on. It looks great. I think you nailed that challenge with your collage. It's perfect. We are all under the same restrictions here. My husband has been the designated shopper. I stay home with our boys. I am grateful for all of my hobbies. Crafting and reading have been a great source of relief. I duck outside for a few minutes each day even on the crappy cold weather to take in some breaths of air. It is suppose to warm up a little the next three days so I will definitely sit out there longer.
Stay well, my friend.

Hi Sylvia
Glad you are staying safe and well. The mind boggles to think that everyone around the world are all going through the same thing at the same time. I can't remember something effecting the whole world before. Brings us together and thank goodness for this virtual world of ours.
Love your bird page.
Take care and stay safe

I love your collage in your vintage glue book. Take care of yourself my friend. With love and God bless, Happy WOYWW. Caro xx (#15)
Evening Sylvia, I love your birds, they are beautiful.
Chris #11
Your collage is very pretty!
Hope you stay healthy!

Hi Sylvia. Loving the bird pics, the patterns on them are quite inspiring. I understand why you are wishing for better weather but it has actually caused a problem in the UK because people have gone outside in great numbers instead of staying indoors, lets hope they realise their mistake. Take care, keep safe and craft on. Sending hugs, Angela x3x
Your desk is very tidy!! We too are holed up in our homes although I did pop out to the chemist today to collect a prescription. It is not completely deserted out, but rather strange. Thank goodness for the internet!! Doesn't bother me as long as we can eat, I have plenty to be getting on with at home. Happy WOYWW, Stay well, Stay Safe, Cindy #23
An interesting challenge to incorporate such an eclectic selection of words in a project, Sylvia! I think you covered it all beautifully in a womewhat surreal little collage piece - it's quite delightful! I love the woodpeckers. I think we are all going to have to get used to the lockdown for the foreseeable future - for individuals it probably isn't too bad, but my goodness, business and the economy is going to suffer and the future doesn't look good. Given people's bad behaviour at the beginning of this crisis, I dread to think how they will behave if things go really pear-shaped.
In the meantime, our little community here at WOYWW can all keep each other going with friendship, sharing and creativity, can't we!
Stay safe and well, and happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #35
Those journal pages will keep you very entertained Sylvia, I love starting a new book. Very interesting prompts I do love those birds pecking away without a care in the world. Good to here you are keeping safe our crafting will pass away so many hours. Take care & Happy WoywW Tracey #19
Hi Sylvia.
That tidy desk looks perfect for a new beginning, and it seems lots of people are finding journalling helpful during these strange times we're living through. You seem to have plenty of materials available for your of creative endeavours. Have fun and stay safe.

Thank you for your return visit, Sylvia. It is very sad when you have sibling pets and one dies - our two are so close, and have always been together even in the womb, and I can't imagine how a survivor would cope without the other one! Even with our old cats who weren't related, when one died, the other one (also very old) was quite lost without her and gave up the will to live - she was put to sleep only 3 weeks later - heartbreaking. They really do grieve, don't they.
So glad you like my digital Celtic knots! I am having fun with the software. It's almost limitless what you can do, once you start experimenting.

What a beautiful page for your vintage glue book, love the birds!
Your work desk is soooo clean, wow!
Take care X
Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for your return visit. Like you, I have been visiting a few each day and spending more time reading comments etc. Also, I've decided to try and visit everybody on the list while the crisis is on - this is not something I've often achieved in the past, but I think it's really important that we support each other as much as possible. It's another reason why my post was even longer than usual this week! I reckoned people would have more time on their hands and it would be nice for us to share as much as possible all the nice things in our lives to cheer ourselves up!
I'm so glad you enjoyed my textures, and also the kitties. They are so sweet together - someone commented that they know nothing about social distancing haha!! Poor little Bailey, on his own. They really miss their little companion or sibling, don't they. And my goodness, what cold weather you are having, at the beginning of April! We've had sunny days but quite a cold wind, but nothing like ice and snow! Of course, where you are, you are going to get continental extremes of weather that we don't have here in the UK, being an island with the benefit of the gentle Gulf Stream!
Take care, and enjoy the lockdown time by doing different things from usual! - oh, and keep warm!!
Hugs,
Shoshi x #26
