I&#8217;m Founder of Feedspot.<br \/>\nI would like to personally congratulate you as your blog <em>Marit&#8217;s Paper World<\/em> has been selected by our panelist as one of the Top 30 Paper Art Blogs on the web. I personally give you a high-five and want to thank you for your contribution to this world. This is the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.feedspot.com\/paper_art_blogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most comprehensive list of Top 30 Paper Art Blogs<\/a> on the internet and I\u2019m honored to have you as part of this!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My first thought was that this must be a joke but after a little research I found out I wasn&#8217;t being fooled. As one of my FB-followers says: &#8220;it is all legit, and Feedspot is basically an RSS feed reader.&#8221; So being in this list means that there are many peeps following my blog, be it via RSS or otherwise. That made me dive into the statistics of this blog and yes, I DO have many readers. On a top day, 2595 people visit me and the statistics show &#8220;RSS Feeds 8163. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To keep it that way, I better keep on blogging eh \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>So here we go with the weekly photo of my desk for <em>What\u2019s On Your Workdesk Wednesday.<\/em> Julia at Stamping Ground is the hostess of this weekly event and in case you have no idea what it is and\/or want to join, Julia explains it all <a href=\"http:\/\/stamping-ground.blogspot.nl\/p\/how-to-link-for-woyww.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stamping-ground.blogspot.nl\/2018\/02\/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-453.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WOYWW #453<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/woyww453.jpg\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23616 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/woyww453.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/woyww453.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/woyww453-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/woyww453-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s not much action on the desk today is there?
