Four years ago the wonderful lady Julia decided to share her desk for the world to see, and invited others to do so too. Now I confess I'm a late come-er to this party as I only started about a year and half ago. But now I love it - I do miss weeks, but I can always rely on the kindness and support from the ever growing WOYWW list. SO if you haven't braved the brashness of blatantly baring your desk/space/floor wherever I suggest you get that camera out and get snapping. It is rather cathartic you see, then pop over to
and join up, you won't regret it and who knows you may make a few friends, and they might actually become friends in real life too!
My desk today is a colouring heaven, pens everywhere and images too -
I have so many June birthdays it's unreal and they are 'special' ones too, ones where I need and want to put the effort in to colour and create.
I will be at the Crop on Saturday along with my fab friend Debs (Deb's Pen Pot). Last year I took a Smash Book, this year I'm going to be colouring. So if you want any help with colouring I'll be happy to help, I'm no expert, well unless you count my Spectrum Noir Accreditation, but I know I've got a small amount of skill and I love to share how I colour. It's about the technique and finding the light and darks of an image. Doesn't matter what colour you use the principles will always be the same!!
Right that's it - oh before I forget I am not taking part in the ATC swap, purely because I have too much stuff to get sorted, but if anyone would like a little something from me, but are happy to wait for it then please ask!!
Take care Zo xx

Oooh, Zoe...I love colouring in! Please could you stamp me an image so I have some tutoring from you? Only a small one as I won't have much time...would that be ok??
I am really looking forward to seeing you and Deb on Saturday!!
Happy 4th WOYWW!
Hugs, LLJ 9 xx
See you Saturday - don't forget the pens then! Happy WOYWW Helen, 39

Happy WOYWW

See you then! I may be quilting cause I am just that busy and that lazy I need it to be something I can grab and go ....
Looking forward to seeing your lovely colouring IRL.
Happy 4th Birthday, WOYWW!

Happy WOYWW anniversary Zoe. Hope to see you Saturday.
~Kate~
See you Saturday, Zo, and will bring your ATC with me, dxxxxx
Oops so I got it wrong you haven't been involved with the WOYWW gang since the beginning. You probably joined very near to when I did.
Your desk looks so tidy and I can see you are going to have a great time with all that colouring! ;D
Have fun and enjoy the 4th Anniversary WOYWW xoxo

Zo, coloring is my favorite part of stamping so we share a love there. Not so great at it, but continues to improve. Have a great day!

Happy 4th Anniversary WOYWW.

Hi Zoe, look forward to meeting you! And I will be coming for colouring lessons, that is one thing I freely admit I am not good at, so any help is always welcome. Now I have to add images & Promarkers to my packing list, lol. Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #150 xx
Wow - all those pens - now I am seriously going green with envy... It looks like you are in for a busy time at the crop! Have a great day.

Wow Zo love your desk, would not dare to expose mine to the world it's topped up with all kinds and not all of it crafty stuff. Love Alison xx
Hiya Zo, Happy WOYWW4!! Can't wait till Saturday but haven't had a chance to figure out what to bring although some colouring might be an option. Looking forward to seeing you, Cindy x Perhaps we can talk trade.... I'll have some stuff with me and I never mind waiting :0)!!
Great looking images Zo, have fun colouring.
Cheers, Elaine #69
Hello Zoe, happy 4th anniversary to you :) I'm now suffering from pen envy after seeing your collection, and I did think I had plenty :) And Spectrum Noir Accreditation does suggest that you are more than a tad good at colouring in :)) Enjoy the workshop - I'm sure a lot of folk are going to benefit from your know-how. Hope you've had a lovely WOYWW, Elizabeth x #155

janet #32
Oh, I do wish I could get some lessons from you! But the flight and timing are just not in my ballpark. lol :) At any rate I appreciate you stopping by to leave me a comment already and hope you have a super fab time at the crop this weekend. ~Deeyll #29
I love to see all your images and your markers lined up for coloring, Zo! You do what you do best and what you enjoy! Have a wonderful time with Debs at the crop and thanks for coming by to visit the Playhouse earlier! Darnell #34
Have fun at the crop! (I really don't even know what a "crop" is, but it sounds like fun!)
And have a great WOYWW4 week!
Lisa #119
Happy 4th ....I wish I lived near you and could pop by for colouring lessons....I'd bring the cake lol
Seriously though ...maybe you could do some technique demos ...by picture and explanation ...I cant be the only one that has problems using pens like promarkers ...the end result is never right ...or colours bleed outside the lines or ....the problems are endless ...for me anyway. xx71
Happy, happy, happy face (me, that is) when I see all that colouring to be done! Have a great time at the crop. Happy (belated) 4th WOYWW. Pam#33

I know I’m a day late but I’m trying to make it around everyone this week. It’s going to take some time, but I wanted to say that it’s amazing that the internet can bring together so many likeminded people and I’m grateful that WOYWW has also brought along so many new friends, thanks to Julia.
You have a very busy desk this week Zo, with all that colouring going on….make you save some for the weekend. Have fun at the crop, I wish I lived nearer.
Enjoy your weekly snoop, especially as we’re celebrating WOYWW’s 4th Anniversary.
Happy Crafting!
