WOYWW 127 - and generosity makes the world go round

Ha! This post was scheduled for yesterday. It would have helped if I'd actually published it rather than left it in draft - what a Mrs Potato Head :(

Just edited to show my 'desk' this morning:
The sun is rising, the sky is cloudless and very blue - so far all is well after a good flight and the company of a delightful lady who sat in the same row as us on the plane. Don't you meet some fascinating folk when travelling - 'Hi Annabel' if you do hop in here :) But nothing happening on my temporary desk right now - woke up late as we slept in fits and starts and then of course both totally zonked out at 4am this morning! Not jet lag but probably the result of getting up at 'stupid o'clock' yesterday morning. But, I do have stamped images and Aqua Markers with me so that table is gonna be busy this week:)
 
But, I can show and tell what someone else has been up to! Last week I came home tired and a bit fraught after a shopping expedition - to find an unexpected and mysterious package awaiting my return which was a total surprise! My friend Dee, who hops in here regularly - but can't always comment as she's a little scallywag and usually peeks from work - had sent me some fabby Prima Annalee papers. Luscious too. But not only that - a set of Nellie's multi-frame doily shaped dies! Ha! I'm not the only person who ends up with duplicates it seems, and Dee had bought these forgetting that she already had the same set - her excuse is that they 'looked different online'. Yup, whatever........and she sweetly sent them to me!! Later this week I'll show how I used them but for today I must let you see the terrific card that Dee enclosed in the package:
Isn't it gorgeous? At the moment Dee is too busy to embark on posting to a blog of her own, which I'd happily set up for her, but with lovely work like this I think it's high time she did take credit for a beautiful card! Don't you agree?

Thank you so much Dee - I truly have some of the most fabulous and generous crafty friends a girlie could ever wish for!

Happy WOYWW everyone - and if you don't know already about WOYWW just hop over to Julia's here for a good nose round everyone else's desks!

    Hi Di. I didn't expect to see you on here today. Have a great week in Estapona, and enjoy using that 'temporary desk'. I'm glad the sun is shining for you.
    That was a lovely surprise package from your friend. There are some nice people around out there!

    OOOh, sunshine, I remember that! Definitely jealous of your temp workdesk, with the beautiful flowers behind the 'desk'. Maybe the Aqua Markers and colouring will be accompanied by a cocktail with a parasol???

    Have fun

    Oh my - I now feel really bad as Hank and Marvin aren't here with us :( But, they are happily tucked up on our bed with a few monkey sized musical instruments - and a big bag of monkey nuts to 'shuck and share'. Sssssh, Len doesn't know that - err, let's hope they aren't too messy with the shells and that we can persuade them to return to their little spot on my sofa in the lounge next week :)) However, Norman my little rabbit who travels absolutely everywhere with me and has more air miles under his belt (do rabbits wear belts?) than most little mascots is in residence 'en Espana'. And very happy he looks too :) Di xx

    Very interesting 'work' desk today but it's missing something. I know, a cocktail or two.
    Lucky you getting gifts, wish my friends were as absent minded when it comes to buying dies.
    Enjoy your holiday

    How lucky you are to be in the sun, instead of this damp drizzly weather. Have a wonderful time out there. Any questions about my new "baby" no problem. Any excuse to play with it.

    Have a great holiday. You have a rabbit that travels with you! How very cool. But I'm wondering who Hank and Marvin are?!?

    Happy Wednesday!

    Ola, Great pressie, hate the work desk (jealousy will certainly not get me to Spain) but I have mailed the place you are staying to tell them they could have some trouble this week.
    Enjoy,
