When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

WOYWW 210 - the 40th birthday edition!

Hello fellow desk dashers!

I'm linking up with Julia and The Stamping Ground to share my desk. Now rather than bore you all with the same pics as I've shared the last few weeks I've got a few different pics for you today.

Tomorrow is my 40th birthday! I love birthdays. Always have and am never shy with telling how old I am. I've ordered a special birthday cake to take with me to the Crop on Saturday to celebrate with you all there.

I've also bought these beauties to share with friends and family tomorrow, and with you all today. There's plenty to go round I'm sure!


I bought myself a new mat and thought it very apt for my boy Baxter!


Now my desk - 
Yep those pens.

My working desk, more pens, images and a WIP.

Right it's a beautiful day, I'm on strict orders to rest up so I'm going to sit out in the yard and read for a bit I think in the sunshine. Then a nap maybe. Then more colouring. Rest. You get the idea. 

Thank you all for all your comments. They all mean a lot to me.

Take care Zo xx

Well, Zoe..I can't think of a better way to celebrate turning 40 than what you're going to do in the next few days!! Way to go, girl :-) Am really looking forward to seeing you at the weekend....
I thought it might amuse you that while I love sport, I've never been a footie fan, but now I take a keen interest in what's happening to Bristol Rovers. It's all your fault!! So on Sunday, I shall be singing UTG, lol!!!

Hi Zoe, hope you are resting like you should ... it's too nice a day to waste it working anyway :) Have a very happy birthday ... if I were 40 I wouldn't mind admitting how old I am too! You do know that life begins at 40 don't you? So have a great year, live it to the full and tell us all about it :) Hugs, Elizabeth x #49

PS: love the doormat!

A day sitting in the sunshine sounds perfect. I hope you've enjoyed it and feel rested for the big day.

I haven't visited it you in quite a long time now. I see the pen stash has grown by leaps and bounds. Happy birthday to you. I'm noticing all the cool people are Tauruses.

Hi Zo! Not much sunshine here today but hope you had a good rest up yesterday! Now, I still can't work out, will we be seeing the blue haired version on Saturday? Just so I know what to look out for (because you are so invisible normally - NOT!). Great desk - but got rather sidetracked looking at the cakes... See ya Sta, Cindy xx
