Since today is Wednesday, I am sharing what is on my work desk with you! My friend Ruth came across a very old airmail stamp she used to use in her office. She saw that I have a carousel on my desk that I keep my Tim Holtz Distress tools in and she knew that I would love it. Well, I decided it needed to be cleaned as it had years of accumulated ink on it and after awhile, my desk started to resemble a butchers block! It looked like a bloody mess! And, no - Dexter does not live here!
But eventually I was able to get it free of red ink and decided to use it for a pen pal letter I sent to Canada. I just love the old plane image!
Thank you to Ruth for this kind gift. I will use it to spread fun all over the world!
Thank you to
Julia for all the desk hopping fun! If you haven't tried sharing what's on your work desk, I would love to encourage you to do so as there is so much fun and learning to be found.
Until next time!

I love the stamp! I am obsessed with finding the perfect stamp with the words "homemade" and although I have spent hours on etsy/ pinterest etc I haven't yet found it. I'm going to get crafty today too - exciting :)
Now, that's a lot of ink. I really like that image, so cute. #59
