Actually ... when I say larks ... I have exercised literary license ... they were indeed pigeons and I have no clue what a lark looks like ... or sounds like ... so ... if they were present ... I did n't notice them!
So now you are wondering why it has taken me this long to post my WOYWW! Well ... I have turned into a techy computer expert person over night and first thing this morning ... I backed up my hard drive! That might sound very insignificant to several of you ... but this is a practice I have been doing for several months on a monthly basis and it was only this morning that I realised both plugs on the back up wotsit contraption had a purpose ... so I had n't been backing it up at all previously ... yes you can laugh ... go on ... get it out of your system before you get to my comments and laugh in my face :0)
On my desk ... is lots of yummy shopping ... you can see the entire range of Julie Van Oosten's Collection elements ... I purchased them yesterday and the wonderful Lin will be selling them on her stand at Stevenage at the weekend ... get there quick though ... I am telling you this now because I guarantee that as a result of their complete yumminess ... they won't last long! There are spools and everything ... Yes ... Spools :0) Oh and if you are going to Stevenage ... it would be good to know ... just in case we bump into each other ... I may not recognise you without your desk!
I have also zoomed in on a wonderful book that my personal shopper the lovely Karen selected for me ... I have n't had a proper look at it yet ... but Zentangle is a form of meditation ... Who Knew??? Actually fellow WOYWWer Angie probably did ... she is terribly good at them.
I am off now ... but not before I install a blatant plug for 
Have a great Wednesday ... I only got to 56 of you last week ... I promise this week I will be back to the week before's form and see you all ... no matter how many of you there are.
Laters!

That is a fab pile of stuff to be played with! Its exciting when you can't see the desk because there's so much new stash on it! lol
Plug away, SSSS is great. (Not going to type it in full though, takes too long!) See you Sunday - thanks - keep me some spool kits!!!
the hamper I am afraid is not as exciting as it looks, but pleased my cheapy bargain grabbed your interest.
must have missed the simonsaysstampshow plug, been to join now how could I resist and wow what a messy desk think I would score that on the 9/10 scale fab
thanks for the snoop

I hope to enter the new challenge this week, haven't quite worked out how to squeeze in wings on my current project though. But if not this time, definitely next time!!
Julie :o)
Up with the Pigeons! Suppose it better than arriving home just as the dawn chorus breaks out (no of course I didn't stay out that late on a night out with the girls) - thats for the OH benefit!! Will try to pop over to your new challenge blog tomorrow as out to Thursday night wine club late (yup I know its Wednesday today, we are a day earlier its been one of those weeks). Hugs Pam x

Oooh lots of lovely new goodies to play with there! I am not going to Stevenage so hopefully there will be more stock available for Artisan or Hobbycrafts in Nov cause I will be at those! I still havent done anything for your new challenge site - been too busy sorting out cards and presents for my Dads 70th this Saturday so not sure if I will get chance to play this first time - but good luck with it and I am sure you will have loads of entries.

Wow look at all those yummy goodies! I hope you find enjoyment in your Zentangle book. I have been doing the Zendoodling in my new art journal and OH MY is it comforting and relaxing. I have been a doodler all my life and probably always will.

Sarah x
Won't be at Stevenage :( will be at Ally Pally though so hopefull some goodies will be left for that.
Ohhh lovely buys can't wait to see what you do with them. Zentangle is a big thing at the moment - lots of different variation and style.
I love the butterfly box.
Look at all that lovely shopping!! Only 56! Wow.... think I only managed 15 between keeping the little ones busy! Robin
Gorgeous chipboards, and love your creation. There will be plenty more things to snoop at next week in my room. Happy WOYWW! Thank you for visiting my blog.
Great blog - I think I shall dumf a lark next! lol
Not laughing..at least you had a go at backing up - I wouldn't know where to start!
Won't get to Stevenage (grumble, whinge, moan) but have every intention of having a go at the Simon says challenge - often don't get time to create till the weekend so always end up entering challenges that start on a monday at the last minute - but my brain is working on it even if my fingers aren't yet !!
Happy WOYWW - Esther xx
Hi Linda
See I told Lin people would like those Zentangle books when I asked her to get one for me ... love all the new stash - looks totally yummy ! Looking forward to seeing what you make with it ! Ali x
Ah you will have no problem recognising me at Stevenage hun, I will be sitting behind my desk.. well, not my actual desk, but a desk all the same :O)) I love that chip and I NEED some...now! xx
Thanks for the message Linda, I ordered my reels from Linda today, along with some of the other bits too, rude not to eh. Thanks again. Tracy Evans x
Scrummy new stash you lucky girl....Can't wait to see what you create!!
Have a fab time in Stevenage a bit to far for me(4hr drive). Please remember to take lots of pics if you have time.
xx
thanks for sharing your crafty space and yummy stash shopping today linda love your busy desk and ...hugs kath xxx
I just walk around with one of those fragile stickers on my head as my DH calles me stumblelina. LOL
I would enjoy your new challenge I'm sure. If it involves TH and I'm happy! I wish I was there to go to Stevenage...sounds like stamps and that also makes me happy!
I kept my WOYWW post short this week, so you could visit more blogs (grin). Yep, I read your post and kept it short this week.
Zentangles are only relaxing if you enjoy making them or are good at doodling. If not, they are stressful and frustrating, causing even more stress and frustration. I've made ONE in my life and it was one too many. I really hope you enjoy making them and find them relaxing. That way I won't have to visit you in the loony bin. Happy WOYWW.
Yes go on!!!.... tempt poor old me whos trying to save for her holidays...lol....great looking ready for altering goodies!!Hope we get to see what your going to be doing with it all, cant wait!!!Have a great week!

Ohhh Zentangle sounds very strange. Off to google it. LOL I am too far away to go to Stevenage but my best Bud is going to be Demoing there. If I didn't have agoraphobia would be down like a shot though to cheer her on!!! Thanks for sharing again, Love Hazelxoxo

dont panic linda you are among friends, we are crafters not computer techs, the only reason we are on here is cos of WOYWW and the ability to shop at any time of day or night, LOL . . . love it .. have a good show wish i could be there
Fab chipboard, and the Zentangle book looks fun. I have had a go at doing some Zendoodling a while back. (Zentangle is a copy righted name for the same thing) I found it very relaxing, but also a real theif of time, you think you have been scribbling away for 10 minutes and it's more like an hour!
Linda, thank you for stopping by my blog. I simply love WOYWW !!!
Lovely pile of crafting goodies on your desk!
Julie
Sorry I'm late, the card is fabulous!
Hugs
Maarit
