Oh yes…. it’s a party today!
“Julia-and-the-deskers party”
Julia posted WOYWW-blogpost #520 today.
FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
CONGRATULATIONS JULIA!

That is 10 years of What’s On Your Work desk Wednesday!!
10 years of crafty people getting together online, showing their work desks and connecting.
I joined the WOYWW-tribe in February 2013 and was hooked right away. I became a so-called ‘desker’ that year… Julia talks about this weekly event and what it means to be a ‘desker’ in her blogpost today so if you click the link, you can read it and, if you like, join us at WOYWW. No obligations, step in and step out whenever you feel like it. We’re a nice bunch of crafty ladies welcoming everyone. Read this page on Julia’s blog Stamping Ground for more info about WOYWW.
And this is what it is all about…
WOYWW #520
My workdesk shows tests with the new ‘stuff’ I bought last week: crackle glaze. I played with it all afternoon yesterday, to get a feeling of how it works and what paint and surfaces work best to use it on.
And I created an ATC to celebrate the 10th anniversary.
Just one ATC, to send to the next desker who’s name will be on the list after me… instead of creating a bunch of ATC’s to swap – and put stamps on all those envelopes to send – I decided to make just one and put all the stamps on that one package, which I’ll fill with all kinds of extra stuff, for the lucky lady that comes after me. (I’ll wait to see who that will be and will try to find ‘matching things’ to put in the envelope, it depends on the person’s interests and style of creating.)
Anyway, here’s the ATC I made.
I know you guys want to visit everyone to celebrate the anniversary so I won’t write a long blogpost today. I’ll just show you my latest art journal pages and then sign off to get dressed (yep, still in pj’s…) go for a walk with my beloved and visit ‘the deskers’ this afternoon (and probably some of you will get a visit later this week, the list will be long today I presume…)

Have a great day y’all and see you for another ten years of ‘desk-hopping’.
I always love visiting your blog because you show exactly what you have on your desk. So glad to have met you on the desks and I look forward to seeing you at the Quirky Dutch Summer event, too. Happy 10th from # 4
Just realised I am getting your atc. Well, I think I am. Yippee! I loved your drawing the other week and now I have one of my own, well, will have. Thank you so much.
Hope by now you are ready to go for a walk with your beloved – am envisaging those lovely canals that I get to see when I make it over to Amsterdam and the neighbouring places. My idea of heaven, seriously!
Great to be treated to two Chronicle pages this week – so much to see and so interesting.
Hugs, Neet 18 xx
I’m so pleased that our paths crossed in WOYWW Marit, because I truly admire your work, be in paper, journals or sewing. I find what you do inspirational and I really enjoy visiting to see what you’ve done each week. I hope one day, that we can meet in real life!
Happy 10th WOYWW!!

A fabulous way to play around with new things, it’s a great addition to the crafty stash is crackle paste with many brands working in so many different ways. Have fun finding what it does and getting it to work in just the way you want it too. Fab ATC and chronicles, Audrey Hepburn was such a beauty!!
WoywW is a wonderful way to meet up with lovely people, i’m so glad our paths have crossed.
Happy 10th WoywW Anniversary Hugs Tracey #9

Hi Marit, one of the wonderful bits of WOYWW is getting to know other crafters all around the world. It’s lovely to see everyones different projects each week. Lovely ATC, and great journal pages.Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #7 X
Ah, crackle glaze – I’ve had some limited success using different brands. The worst part is waiting for it to dry! Awesome ATC and super pages – love the moody image with Audrey Hepburn. Happy anniversary – now that the ATC swap is out of the way, I’d better start thinking about by guest blog post for you! Thank you for all your visits and comments over the years, Marit! zsuzsa #26
Love the ATC, that background is fabulous. The pages are great too, so zingy and full of energy. Enjoy your walk and Happy 10th WOYWW Anniversary!

Hi Marit. whoever your Pif is they are very lucky and I know they wont be disappointed. I’m really late as I was forced to go out with friends today to drink coffee and eat scones…. I could hardly say no! but it has made me late getting round. Wishing you a lovely woyww and a happy creative week with hugs, Angela x19X
Hello Marit. So pleased that I am now able to comment on your blog and especially today. Great ATC. Anne x #24
Hi Marit, sorry I am late visiting. Happy 10th WOYWW anniversary. Love the photo on your first art journal page – happy!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog – I’m relatively new compared to a lot of deskers, but I love reading all the blogs and getting to know my fellow deskers. Have a lovely week, Heather x #30
Happy 10th! I love swatching! lovely ATC and thanks for all the desking throughout the years!
Love your ATC and your two Chronicle pages, Marit. Your crackle glaze experiments look great, and you could incorporate them into projects! Thank you for your visit and your sweet comment. WOYWW is great, isn’t it, and we’ve all made so many lovely friends on here. I’m glad you enjoyed reading my post, and thank you for my hubby’s birthday wishes (great celebration we had!) and I’m glad you like my slippers, and the hang-gliding kitty card lol!
Happy 10th anniversary WOYWW,

Hi Marit – Happy 10th anniversary – Couldn’t comment yesterday as blogger wasn’t letting me – bah humbug! – so am trying to get around a few today whilst at least google and blogger are working!!!
Great fun desk today. Thanks for letting me into your space on a regular basis!
Take care. God bless.

ooh loving the experimenting with the glaze and the finished product too.
Thanks for visiting my desk already

Oh Marit I’m sorry to be so late, it’s been a wonderful party and your lovely words really sum us up don’t they! Love your idea of a gift pack for your next *, which I think is Neet and she will be so thrilled…and use everything, which is a double happiness isn’t it! So, you’ve experimented..but do you like the crackle glaze? Time will tell…it will appear on your brilliant works if you do. Xxx
Hi Marit
sorry I am so late commenting, typing with one hand is slow, and efficient pain killers mess up my brain, but I am here now, and first of all, Dank je fel for visiting my desk.
I love your desk with its nice clear labels, and that ATC is fun

Happy Anniversary, Marit! I’m so glad we met through Julia’s fun group. You always inspire me to just let the creativity flow. 😉 Look forward to hearing what plant you decide on for the pergola. Creative Blessings! Kelly #35
