Tales from the Studio & woyww #226

October 2, 2013 By Marit 22 Comments

 

Today is a special day, so I keep it short and sweet – come on in and I’ll tell you why…

Here’s today golden oldie scrapbook layout that makes it clear why today is special.

(I don’t create ‘traditional scrapbook layouts’ anymore but every Wednesday I dive into my albums and lift a ‘golden oldie.’ The layouts I pick are random, YOU – blog readers – name the number of the album and layout to show. Let me know in a comment which album you want me to open next week – to avoid that you name layouts that have already been requested, you can find a list showing the ‘free’ numbers to choose from on this page.

I knew I had this golden oldie scrapbook layout somewhere and I digged it from the archives to show to you today (John W., your ‘golden oldie request’ will have to wait ’till next week)

Yes, right… it is my birthday today… and not just any birthday – I turn (oh-my-goodness-should-I-say-it-is-it-really-so???) fifty.

50

Ouch.

This is not a day to write a long blogpost, so I just show you how my desk looks this morning for “What’s On Your Work desk Wednesday.” (If you have no idea what I am talking about, I recommend you click the link and hop on over to Julia’s blog to find out all about woyww.)

I took this photo from another angle than I usually do so you can see what is going on in the background as well.

    Had to pop round to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    50? That’s nothing – I see it fading from view in the rearview mirror of my mind….

    I am determined to get some visits in before tomorrow!

    Happy (late AGAIN!) WOYWW!
