Good morning, good morning from my studio where today my desk is filled with a bunch of gorgeousness… I’ll show you that – and more – in this post. Come on in.
Let us start with a Golden Oldie from my albums
Brenda requested in a comment last week, that I’d open up album 6 and show layout #3.
I remember making this layout in the Summer of 2009 – I had just discovered working with spray ink and I still like how this turned out.
I looked up the old post HERE and to my surprise I also see the BCR pop up in that post… (if you know what I mean with BCR, then you must be around my age 😉 ) – is it a coincidence I just started re-reading Leslie’s biography this week?!
Do you like my ‘golden oldies’??? Then leave me a comment saying which album I should open next week and which layout you want me to show… numbers please!
In a minute, I will show you my desk but you won’t see my Chronicles spread laying half-finished among the other stuff… ’cause I finished last week’s art journal spread!
 The Chronicles – Week 10
So, what’s on my desk then?
Well, a lot of creativeness, but not mine… LOOK!

What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday is hosted by Julia from the Stamping Ground. If you like to see other people’s creative spaces then pop on over to Julia’s blog to find the list of participants or, even better, join the weekly gathering and share a photo of your own work desk.
FEATURING magazine had a call for mail art and now that the deadline has finished, my desk is overflowing with all the art we received through the postal system! I gathered all mail art and information and am ready to start writing the article for the fourth issue.
Yes, that’s right: we’ve successfully published three issues of FEATURING already!
I’m still so proud of the fact that my beloved and I managed to give birth to this magazine and of my enthusiastic team that is writing interesting and marvelous articles. When readers let me know that they LOVE the magazine (and they do!) I feel truly blessed. Still, I notice that a lot of artists/crafters haven’t heard of it yet. We could use some promoting so if you love FEATURING please blog about it, tell your friends and spread the word. All issues are available in the FEATURING store.

All the mail art is spread over three stacks on my desk (it’s ‘safer’ that way 😉 ) but to show you how much we received, I made one big pile for a photo. LOOK AT THIS!
All will be photographed and some mail will end up as illustration with the article… so you see, a lot of work still has to be done.
Thanks so much if you have submitted to this project.
Well, enough with talking about this article – I better get working on it!
I hope you all have a wonderful, creative day.
(Make someone happy – send mail art!)
Wow!! That is a lot of mail art!! LOVE it!! And loving your pages!!!
Busy time and interesting desk
That is one amazing LO, I can see I picked well last week! Love your busy desk, well done on the magazine, I didn’t realise it was your venture. Love the old fashioned approach to writing, but if you’re going to do that you should really push the boat out and use a fountain pen!
Hugs
Brenda
Loved taking a look at your creative space and the things on your desk. Off to check out the magazine.
Happy WOYWW.

Hi Marit!!
How old am I that I know what BCR stands for! Bay City Rollers!! LOL!!
I love your posts, with the pictures with the writing to show what everything is!! Super work too!!
My computer must be messed up or something because even if I refresh Julia’s blog it doesn’t show me anyone above me, #78. It must be me, I’m sure. Why does this stuff always happen to me!!??

Love the album dip. It really is a captivating page.

I love the lettering and all the glorious colors in your art journaling. FEATURING magazine sounds like an amazing source of inspiration, and wish I had entered a piece of art mail. Blessings!

Belated WOYWW greetings great post and artwork. I also know what BCR stands for and thats because I must confess to having a picture of me in the tartan gear – no hat though. Thanks for stopping by earlier too.. Gill x #50

wow, that is a ton of gorgeous art!
Love all that mail art and i cannot wait to see your mail art issue. Living in San Francisco I hadn’t heard of your magazine until I saw the Call For Entries and now I am really looking forward to getting a copy! When will the issue be coming out?
We plan to get the next issue out in April. (Featuring is not a – what you would call – ‘season-bound’ magazine)
Being a mail artist myself, I am VERY excited to see everything that you received. Lucky you!!
Wow I am impressed! – got flu!… belated happy woyww! Thanks for visiting me, jenx
Your magazine looks amazing, good luck with it. I hope I can find a copy to read:)
