Welcome fellow deskers, time to visit Julia our hostess at the Stamping Ground it's the day we share our desks. I've missed a couple of weeks, but details why are crazy. You'd have to be a Facebook follower to understand my life.
Just below I have 2 posts on 2 journals I've almost finished. I will have another post on later today or tomorrow, on the disaster our State has been through. It was a week from hell for most of the Southern part of Iowa with an unheard of Derecho.. Hurraciane Winds/Water in a none ocean area. My son/family are all safe but living in temporary housing their home is Unlivable. Roof gone and filled with water. Over a week with no electricity, gas, or available motels.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope to be around to visit, I've missed you and your fun projects.

Hi Sylvia, I'm not a big user of FBook although I do have an account, but I gather by looking at the previous comments you have had some tough times lately. I do hope your troubles are soon over,
Take care,
Hugs, Diana xx #15
Oh dear, I was not aware of the weather you have been having but it sounds horrendous. Your poor family, my thoughts and prayers are with them. I remember a fire devastating the home of my friend and her family who all lived in the same park in CA. It was awful to see and her nephew lost his home and had no insurance. Terrible disasters you go through over there. Must be a worry for you as a mum.
Do you mean you are celebrating 15 years of wedded bliss? Happy Anniversary. May you have another 15 and more.
Wish I had done Rolodex instead of index cards, a great way to store them and flick through the collection.
Take care
Hugs, Neet 7 xx
I'm so sorry to hear about your family - how terrible a thing to happen. I hope they're ok but must be in shock. I hope that you and your hubby have a good anniversary under the circumstances.

HI Sylvia, I'm so sorry to hear about your family's troubles, that must be awful for them and you must be worried sick. I hope you get to enjoy your #15 tomorrow despite everything - our anniversary is tomorrow as well (#9) and I haven't made the card yet - DH has come to expect a spectacular hand made card, so I must come up with something :) I'll be thinking of you and yours, take care, Annie C #19
I'm 70 and never heard of a Derecho! So happy your family is safe! Your desk looks like you are very busy and making some beautiful creations!
Just pleased you're all safe. Good job you have a happy place to escape to and keep your mind off some of it though I know that's not easy. Take care and wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x14x

Happy Anniversary to you both. Anne x @16
I'm sorry to hear about your family, how devastating! ~ I hope you enjoy your anniversary ~ Your work area for collage looks like fun, would love to dig through that kraft box of bits this AM :)
Oh Sylvia, I am so sorry to hear about the disaster your son and his family have suffered. I must be simply awful suffering such extreme weather conditions, and I hope that they will be able to repair the damage and replace what was lost, and that they will not be too traumatised by the experience.
Your desk looks lovely and busy. Wishing you and your DH a very anniversary tomorrow!
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #23
Oh my, what have you and your family gone through! Heavens I hope things look up soon. Sending hugs, Happy WOYWW, stay well, safe, Cindy #21
Hi Sylvia! I wondered how you faired the derecho the other day and am sorry to hear that your son was hit. We were stormchasing several years ago and were standing in a field when a minor derecho hitour position and it literally knocked me and the cameras down! a gust front on steroids! Your desk looks awesomely busy and I really like your journals! Happy Anniversary! Vickie #32
I am so sorry your family are suffering because of extreme weather. I am so glad they are safe and hope they will be in temporary accommodation for not too long. Angela #31
Oh my gosh! I hope your son and his family can get their house fixed or replaced! I heard about that storm and seen photos from friends nearby. My heart goes out to all involved.
Happy anniversary! I hope you have a wonderful celebration somehow.

Yes, my God, what time flies away. You want to do so much but not even half is done.
You seem to have a lot of projects going on and your desk seems to contain a lot of excitement.
It's really sad everything that has affected the United States and especially that you have
been so hard hit in these Corona times.
Stay as healthy as you can and have a nice week.
I really like this WOYWW and the opportunity to visit
creative people in the blogosphere.
Sussie
Loving the interesting projects and Happy Anniversary! So sorry to hear about your son and his family. I am glad that they are safe but what a nightmare for them all. Sorry I am late commenting. Happy belated WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. with love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#9)
Thank you for your return visit, Sylvia, and for your very kind words about me in my outfit! I love the embroidery on it. Your garden produce sounds amazing and delicious. We don't grow a lot - just the apple tree, a few tomatoes and rhubarb. The garden is quite small. We are fortunate in having fresh produce readily available and our next door neighbour also gives us things sometimes as she can't eat it all!!

So sorry to hear about your son's house - the Derecho photos have looked terrifying! You seem to have had some really weird weather over there this year. Good to see you can keep crafting. I thought your wedding anniversary photos on FB were just beautiful - especially the lovely one of you and your Mum -so wonderful to be able to look back on those happy days. xx Jo
Oh my, sounds like you had even worse weather conditions than 'just a heatwave'... sorry to hear that and I hope everything will turn out allright really soon. Thanks for visiting my blog the other day, have a great weekend with nice weather! Hug from Holland. Marit #8
Sorry I’m late Sylvia. Want to add my voice to the concern over the weahter’s effects on you and your family, how awful it must be. Amazing what does and doesn’t make the news, I had no idea about the storms till you posted on FB. I’m still trying to avoid commenting much on FB, long story. Terrifying outcome and I’m so grateful that the family are all safe, even though they have now to put up with ‘temporary’ for probably quite a while. I expect your craft work has been a great distraction, love that you’ve been on two desks this week, busy with ideas, your head must be humming! Beautiful sentiment in the anniversary card....we all need that stamped on our hands!!
