WOYWW 208 Anniversary version!

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 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!

    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

    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

    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

    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!

    Aw Zoe, I'm late of course..so I know why you have that huge sheet of heads ready to colour. And please, any one reading this, don't believe her - she IS an EXPERT at colouring, you just willbe left breathless when you see it in real life. It's incredible.
