WOYWW - Its HERE!!!!

Yes, its here - my PiF gift arrived today! I was so excited when I got home from school to find the slip from the Post Office saying there is a parcel waiting for me. I did not even have the usual cup of coffee, I just jumped right back in my car and went to get it.
I will keep you in suspence a little longer, because I first have to show you my desk. (If you STILL don't know what I am talking about, visit Julia at http://stamping=ground.blogspot.com ) Very uninspiring today - covered in exam papers that are being marked. Soul destroying sometimes. You pour your heart out to kids in the classroom and then when they write exams, you wonder if you were actually there teaching them, or if you only dreamt it. Some are fantastic though, so not too depressed this time round. Jut not happy that the pile does not seem to get any smaller


And here it is.... The fantastic leatherbound journal that Darcy made just for me! It is incredibly well made and so inspiring. I can not wait to start writing in it. All the pages are different, some fold this way, others that way - just amazing, and... on the first page, she left her mark. This fantastic work of art. LOVE IT, love it, love it. Now its back to the grindstone for me. More exams to mark. School breaks up next Friday for a week, so I will have to wait till then to be creative.


Happy WOYWW everybody, see you all next week.

    Stunning WOYWW 104 PiF - I love that first page - how clever. Now - keep the energy levels up so that you are not too exhausted by the end of term. (I always wasted my first 2 weeks trying to recover from the long hard slog of a Summer Term!)

    Lovely Pif but not such a lovely desk. Thank goodness I don't have to do marking any more. I used to take my coursework to my caravan in Wales at Easter to mark and found I could do it much better than when at home. Maybe I was more relaxed.
    Just give your Pif the occasional stroke to relax you. Take care Hugs Neet x#9

    A lovely different PIF - aren't people creative these days. There is no end of talent in the world that we would know nothing about if we didn't take part in the WOYWW party.
    Good luck with the marking.

    What a beautiful parcel to receive, with such a lovely gift inside. I know what you mean about wondering if your pupils were actually in the same class you were. Just keep strong and struggle through.

    Fab PIF you've received - I love Zentangle work so how nice to receive a journal with that as a front page! I'd be scared to write in it though... Thanks for stopping by!
