A long time ago on a desk not far from here ... before the wheel was even invented ... I used to pay weekly homage to Julia of Dunnit ... the illustrious leader of the desk march. Time passed and I lost my way ... I was trapped in a blinkered busyness that forbade me to enjoy the weekly desk perusal and the curse of guilt of not being able to return visits kept me trapped for a very loooooooong time! *Dims lights* Luckily I left a trail of Bedazzles and I managed to retrace my steps ... and here I am!
So ... fan fare please ... in true WOYWW style ... On my desk ... apart from the usual mess is the beginnings of a journal page and all the gubbings that I needed to get that far on said page! Obviously I have taken a break to chat to you lot ... but I may come back later if I get it finished!
I also have a little game for you guys to play ... see this glass jar ... gift from Korea ... and after the whole Green Tea Crisp fiasco ... if you missed it ... you can read all about it here ... I thought I would ask you ... What you think you should do with it! Answers on a postcard ... or just in the comments ... Yeah ... see ... this whole gift thing can be a bit of a minefield!
It really is good to be back ... look forward to seeing all your desks... and if you have no clue what I am on about ... all will be revealed here!
Have a good Wednesday ...
Laters!

This made me chuckle...thank you for brightening this dull, damp day.
As to the jar - I wouldn't like to hazzard a guess LOL
Toni :o)
Mmmm.... Looks like it may contain curious foodstuff. If in doubt baste it on top of chicken - that way everyone gets to share in the (potential) delights!!! Though my children did say if it was mine they'd rather I kept it on my desk!!!
It's Citron jam .. In Korea, it is used to create yujacha, a type of Korean tea. The fruit is thinly sliced (peel, pith and pulp) and soaked or cooked in honey or sugar to create a chunky syrup. This syrupy candied fruit is mixed with hot water as a fragrant tea, where the fruit at the bottom of the cup is eaten as well. Often preserved in the syrup for the cold months, yujacha is served as a source of fruit in winter. :) and it is way yummy iced too :)
Thank goodness for Sharon! Now you will be spared more blushes of the crisps/tea variety... lol.
Good to see you back WOYWWing!
I did think Jam, and thank you Sharon fo the explanation, and my it si good to see your desk...can you swing to the left please.. cos it looks awfully tidy! lol
Your journal promises to be a object of beauty to be treasured - TFS - as for the jar? Wouldn't like to guess, with the lemons on the front, could it be some kind of marmalade? #4
I would have given it to my DH to put on his toast, then if he is around the next day, try it myself!!!!lol
Hugs Joanne xx

Bum Sharon took the words right out of my mouth( funny, as I do this one fingered on my phone I'm thinking of mr meatloaf)

Great start o your journal pages, love the colour. Now the jar, mmmm do you put it on your toast LOL. Tracy x
YAY lovely to have you back this week, Have missed seeing your desk in all its gloriousness.
I'd say the jar looks like marmalade but I could be a sauce for you to cook with too! Who knows!
Happy wednesday Linda *wave*
looks every bit like my marmalade I made the other day...will try making tea with that and see what it tastes like! In essence it sounds the same to me...
A great begining od a journal page. Hope to see it finished. :) Happy WOYWW!
I love art journals -this looks a good start for a great page. Happy WOYWW

Nice to see you back :) - I took one look at that jar and immediately thought about making it into a mannequin that looks a bit like a russian doll but after reading other comments looks like I missed the point! have fun with it whatever you decide to do with it! Sunshine Girl No. 40
Slap it on either cellulite or rusty brake-pads....
Sarah
Methinks it's a Korean copy of our lemon marmalade. I know they love it!
JoZarty x
Tim can be scary when your not expecting him to turn up (Crown and all) ;0) Loving the jornal page I am really in to this now (journalling) I even started a new blog just for journalling. you page looks cool look forward to seeing the rest of it.
Love Dawn x
Welcome back! Enjoyed your post, very creative. Thank goodness for Sharon awesome expanation. I was thinking some kind of fruity jam thingy for something. Love the peeker!
Great desk Linda. Thanks for visiting mine already!
Love the way King Timmy keeps popping up on your blog!
Hugs, Sandra
Has to think marmalade for the jar but the whole tea thingy sounds interesting.
Love the journal. Tried to do one myself but am afraid I stopped after the front cover and really just use it as a sort of diary and challenge book but as it is nearly full now maybe I ought to try being more adventurous.
Thsnks for stopping by my desk (53)
x Tricia
Great to have you back...have missed the sneaky peeks of all your wonderful creations and this is no exception...a fabulous desk and I can't wait to see the finished page!! :)
As for my desk...thanks for the visit and as I said, that was the organised bit...you should see the bombsite that used to be the spare bedroom!! lol
Enjoy your "marmalade"? Hope it turns out to be something nice...
Love Emma xxx
Hi Linda

hi it's me...your biggest fan and hey loving the journalling...is this perhaps a new addiction...big hugs kath xxx
LINDAAAAAAAAA. You're back! Thought you might be to hifallutin' to join the plebs these days!! Great to see you again. Whatever that stuff is in the jar, just splodge some on toast and er, see what happens?? Do you know you've got some weird stalker type bloke keeps popping in and out at the bottom of your blog!!
Hugs
Brenda 84
Loved reading your post Linda , and will be back to see the finished journal.
Anne x
so glad you jumped back in the pool :D. Bedazzles are sooo useful! And I can't tell you how tickled I am that you liked the lark joke lol. Love the journal I haven't ventured down that road yet. I'm going to guess orange marmalade, because it looks like orange marmalade and I've seen korean films where they had orange marmalade I'm sure lol. Perhaps a small cautious spoonful to make sure?
*tutting at myself* forgot to say how completely in awe I am that your blog avatar is with the Crafty Superhero Himself!!!!
Pretty page. That hot pink clock face is so refreshing - but not too sure about the fuity tea. could be very dodgy. Do let us know ho it tastes! :)
Mary Anne
Oh we have missed chuckling at your witty little posts! It looks like marmalade to me - slap it on toast and let us know what it tastes like!
Lemon marmalade. And I'm with Brenda, thought you'd been 'touched' and decided WOYWW was a bit trivial..and then I remembered - you were already 'touched!! Glad you're not so busy - a journal, surely that means you actually have time to make art that isn't for demos lessons or giving away. Result!
Won't venture a guess on the jar, but wanted to let you know that I love the start of your journal spread. Would love to know what stamp that is in the corner...fabulous! Happy WOYWW!
I am with Joanne - feed it to 'im indoors and if he survives you know it is ok!! As for the busy in flop mode, my mother always told me that "the devil makes work for idle hands"!!! He creates enuff trouble in my life without that as well!! Thanks for your visit!! Will have to check on your journal now!! Nice to see you back!!
Welcome back! I about died when the T!m Holtz with a crown started coming across my screen! hahahahaha
Chrissy
Good to see you back at WOYWW. Hope the journal pages go well. Lol to Tim with his crown. x Hazel 130
How does it taste? I never saw chips in a bottle before! Your journal page looks promising! Patsy from
HeARTworks
the jar looks interesting, but i'm much more interested in all that crafty goodness you have to play with.
Hoping this week will be the last of no playtime for me
thanks for popping by earlier
caroline
Tim in his crown made me laugh as he popped in! Thanks for the birthday wishes for my daughter. Fiona x
Jar could be jam or some kind of chutney or even some type of new TH distress crackle goo to play wit!! I'd let the dog sniff it and if he walks off try it on your journal page. Never know you might start some kind of new graze. Hugs Mrs A. #65
The tea story is a good one!! Love your TH tag and does he know he keeps making a royal appearance here. Too cute. I am no expert, but the jar looks like marmelade..I say give it a go on toast, and good luck!!
Keep sminling and creating
Good to see you back Linda and I love your story…………..and you lived happily ever after it seems…..well at least until the next WOYWW hopefully!
I loved your comment on my blog about you and Captain Jack….priceless. Lol!
Happy WOYWW!
