WOYWW 368
Good Morning fellow deskers! It's Wednesday again and it's the day we all share what's on our desk. LunchLadyJane is kindly hosting while our host Julia is recuperation from her op. But LLJ has herself had a difficult week, so big hugs coming your way LLJ together with a huge Thank You.
Here is what I've been doing:
I might have shown you my Flow magazine Special Edition about learning to draw. I have started tentatively with a pencil and I plan to start getting some paints out soon. Exciting!
Even more exciting are the 'far-away' ATCs that have finally arrived this week from the other side of the world:
They were definitely worth waiting for! From top left: Lynne Mizera, Sharon K with lovely envelope, and Kelly. the bottom two are LisaDa (left) and Bridget Larssen(R). Thank you girls! Each one of them is a work of art!
Lynne had also made a beautiful home made card with "believe" on it but it wasn't on my desk just now when I made the photo (Where the b... is it?) The quote on Lisa's card reads:"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain." That is so true.
Bridget also enclosed a postcard I love Queensland:
Which reminds me to show you a Postcrossing postcard. This one arrived from Portugal earlier this week:
I love doors and windows, and this card shows a selection of windows in Lisbon.
The stamps are beautiful too:
The one on the right is about traditional ceramics and the one on the left shows snowboarding, which I am not sure they do in Portugal. Have they got high mountains in Portugal? Perhaps they do, after all we have a ski resort here in Granada.
That's it from me today. I apologise that I have not been able to get around many desks last week, as my mum was visiting and time with her is precious. Today I will do my best to visit many if not all of you.
Happy WOYWW,
Blessings,
Lisca

Love your Lisbon Windows - from one door fan to another (I think you may have me looking at windows now).
Fab atc's and good luck with the drawing.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
The hug is gratefully accepted, thank you :-)
I love architectural details and patterns too, so that Lisbon postcard made me smile! All those lives hidden behind the windows, it makes you think!
Hugs, LLJ xxx
I love windows and doors too.These are especially cheery. Those ATC's are a nice little surprise in the mail aren't they?

Super ATC's and love the doors and windows. Hoping my mum will be able to visit soon. Anne x #20
Funny I picked up from Facebook this week about the Flow Special Edition so I had a preview on Youtube - looks like good fun. I liked the teacups page too. Lovely Lisbon windows and there you get the bonus of all the tiles too. Have a nice time sketching x Jackie 22
Hi Lisca, ooooooh I've been tempted by that Flow Magazine, it looks amazing, but I'm baulking at the price, maybe I should ask for a subscription for my birthday .... LOVE that postcard with all the windows and doors, gorgeous :o) Annie C #28
What wonderful photos of your cards. I'm curious about the post crossing card. Is that a club that is active now? It has really sparked my interest!
Drawing is ALL about practice! Loving your sketches of the tea cups - now they just need some colour! Gorgeous ATCs and postcard and I'm a big fan of stamps too! Enjoy your week! zsuzsa #29
Fabulous post! Loved your post card & those ATCs are amazing .... Good luck with the drawing!!!!
Drawing the ellipse on tea cups can be quite hard .... looks like you are having a great go. Great postcard with the door.

Hi Lisca, as always some very interesting things on your blog. Love the postcard with the windows, and such unusual stamps too. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #7 xxx
Awesome tea sketches. Looks like you are having fun. Love seeing those post cards you get, and the ATCs are even more fun. Enjoy the rest of your day. Hugs-Erika
Good luck with your drawing practice - I'm RUBBISH at it! Lovely ATC's too

That looks a fabulous book and I love the images of teacups - but quite difficult to draw though I should imagine.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I've changed the link for the flower tutorial to the right one - thank you for letting me know, I have no idea how I did that!
Hope you have a lovely week,
Diana #17
It looks like you're doing really well with your drawing. Time with Mum is precious - I hope you enjoyed your visit. I can't wait until I can visit mine. I am counting down the weeks now!
Have a great week
Sharon K #37
I like your drawings! I occasionally can draw a straight line.... LOL! Love the window postcard and the ATCs are great! Thanks for the visit and Happy WOYWW!

Hello Lisca. Oh how exciting and such beautiful ATC you have received. I love your drawings and that postcard with the doors and windows I think is wonderful Have a splendid week Hugs~Anne L#3
Hi Lisca, for someone who has just started drawing, they look fab! How lovely to collect postcards (and stamps) from all around the world. The Couch25K is a training programme with music and advice which you can listen to when you're running. It starts of very slowly with walks followed by short runs and over the 9 weeks, builds up to 5k. Its supposed to turn you from a couch potato to someone who can run 5k in 9 weeks. (What this space for the ambulance lol!)
Thanks for the visit earlier

How awesome is that PC from Portugal, what an inspiring group to be a part of.
Thanks Lynda, that is very interesting. I guess the program is developed to avoid ambulances. So if you stick to the program, you'll be fine. Success!
Lisca
Your Lisbon windows are lovely, how colourful they are. I'm glad you had a lovely time with your Mum, as you say time with family is always precious.
Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog today. I think maybe we misunderstood each other. I promise I don't skip meals. I had only swapped my mug of Yorkshire Builders Tea for a glass of water. Your suggestions sound really good though and I will definitely give them a go.
Hugs Lisax #12
love the windows on that postcard... and your atcs you received are gorgeous. Helen #1
I love that you are teaching your self to draw, that is way high up on my bucket list. ( think of all the funds that would save over collecting stamps haha ) the postcards are so fun :) Thanks for the earlier visit, ~Stacy #41
Lisca, love what you are doing with the Flow magazine! I'm really jealous of all your goodies from ALL OVER THE WORLD! I love getting things from other countries, it's just neat to me! Your ATC's are especially cuteness! Thanks for stopping by my blog and many blessings to you! :) Felicia #40
Love that windows postcard, so interesting! How fun with the magazine that helps you learn to draw. Great ATCs to see today too. Thanks for sharing everything. PJ #49
Lovely ATCs you got there and you could check into a sports Store or comic store that has trading cards for sale they might have the pages for a pocket letter?
Have a happy woyww hugs Nikki 2
Such lovely ATCs. Thepostcard of doorways is brilliant - I love spotting interesting ones over here. One day I intend making fabric collages of some. x Jo
Hi Lisca, Lovely ATCs. I really like that postcard.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW

Love the ATCs and the postcard of the doorways, brilliant. Another late visit for me as we've been to the Lincolnshire agricultural show today. Thanks for the visit to mine and happy woyww, Angela x 21
Love that postcard of the windows and I love all the doors you have been show casing. We have plain doors here but I must actively look for some and take my camera with me-that will help LOL
Bridget #9
Lovely post! Nice ATCs and post cards. Kudos to you on trying to learn how to draw. Thanks for the earlier visit. #43
Great postcard. I love all the doors and windows.

Hi Lisca, no problem leaving a comment for you despite G+ (no idea why some blogs will insist I join it to comment either) Love the window postcard would have been just the thing for the photographic scavenger hunt! Thanks for visiting me BJ#24
I wish I could draw, but I've come to terms with the fact it's never going to be a talent of mine. The atcs are lovely and I'm smitten with the doors and windows picture.
Those pretty teacups are a great way to practise your drawing.
Lovely collection of ATCs you have there :)
Have a good week,
RosA
Great ATCs. Have fun with your drawing. Thanks for visiting - I'm a bit late this week!!
Bernice
Thanks for visiting....I'm late but Life just keeps me hopping in the summer. Thanks too for sharing the fun ATC's I love the variety this group creates. I peeped about some other posts and love the cabinet you just purchased IKEA is no where close to us. And funny when visiting Germany we visited one, so at least my DH knows what they are now. Love your blog posts, just need to comment more. Have a fun weekend.
