Another Wednesday, and it’s only one week before Julia (and all participants!) celebrate the 7th anniversary of What’s On Your Work desk Wednesday. Julia won’t be hosting WOYWW for a while though, as she’s away on a holiday and when she gets back, she’s having an operation and also needs time to recuperate… Lunch Lady Jan is hosting the WOYWW bloghop during the next weeks so we don’t have to miss the link list nor the anniversary.
The anniversary… yes… it has become a tradition to mark a “ridiculous anniversary” (Julia’s words…) with an ATC swap. There’s no pressure to join the swap but I really want to – so this week I started creating ATCs (they’re on my desk, almost finished.) My beloved found a ticket on the pavement some time ago with five international stamps – someone must have lost that from their pockets. He gave the ticket to me and I saved it especially for this anniversary – I can swap and send five ATCs to other participants so if you would like to swap an ATC with me, let me know in a comment!
And here’s two art journal pages from last weeks…
The Chronicles of Marit – Week 16
A purple page, yes, as week 16 was the week that Prince died…. it was also the week that the postman delivered my brochure that my beloved designed for me. It’s in the pocket at the left. Here’s the page without the brochure…
… and if you wonder what the meaning is of that egg-Zelda image in the top corner: read the story with the last drawing in this blogpost from last Monday.
The Chronicles of Marit – Week 17
Thanks for visiting my blog today and if you leave me a comment, I will visit you back to see what your desk looks like so SEE YA!
Hey there Marit..how fab that your husband picked up the stamps and what a great thing to use them on your ATCs! I love your purple page tribute to Prince…I was very sad when he died, I loved his music through the 80s and 90s, good music to dance to!
Thanks for the support today,
Hugs, LLJ xxx
Love how you have labelled all the bits on your photo! Took me long enough to load mine! Great pages as well. I’d be happy to swap, but don’t know what I am doing yet (organised as ever). Happy WOYWW Cindy #36
Hello Marit. Well done getting your ATCs done in time. I won’t offer to swap as I will be missing next week – on holiday, all being well!!
Take care. God bless.

I can see the ATC production line in full swing! I think I have to pass this year – got so much else to do and I would just be stressing about it. Great initiative though! Loving your journal pages – I was so shocked when I found out about Prince. I immediately went on Amazon and bought Purple Rain for all times sakes! Happy WOYWW, Marit! zsuzsa #37
What a lovely story and page. Yes I had to follow the link as i had no idea what a Zelda egg was. That is another great page. your pages are really enjoyable to see.
have a wonderful week. The links are all working better so may be somewhere I pressed the right bits in the computer.

FAB Art journals! I love the way you use texting on them.
Prince was so special… In a good way. A really creative mind.
Have a fun WOYWW!

Beautiful journal page. I love purple. I have to say purple is one of m favourite colours. I love the way your journal page has lots of writing on it too.
Good on you for getting ATCs done early – still working on mine!
Happy WOYWW

Happy belated WOYWW,

Hi Marit! I love your journal pages so much! My favorite is the one with Prince – what an awesome tribute. I love the way you worked his photo in so seamlessly with all the purple background. Beautiful. I am still so sad about his passing.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I need to join in with the link up – I just keep forgetting. Thanks for the reminder!
Great pages Marit and I love the purple tribute to Prince!! I am behind on my art journaling and am now on an ATC roll.. doesn’t that seem to be the way?? haha
