Now anyone who follows my blog regularly knows that I have been away on vacation and when Julia announced the date of the second anniversary I was really upset that it coincided with me being away.... because last year on the first anniversary I was in the middle of moving from Saudi Arabia back to Scotland before then packing up again to come out here to Canada.... which made it impossible for me to join in the celebration. So finding out that I was also going to miss this one was pretty disappointing.... I asked Julia if I could make a PIF and send it to her as she wouldn't be on the linky list and then she could PIF me back... so that's what we did.... but then someone actually got a calendar out and announced that the second anniversary wasn't going to be two weeks ago but this week! Poop... too late, already done the deed and sent the PIF's in both directions!! So this is the lovely canvas that Julia made for me....
and I love it... so many lovely quotes and bits, thank you Julia!!
This is the canvas that I sent to Julia...
and when she gets bored with that side she can turn it around...
and of course, the WOYWW letters hang from little chains on the side...
and sitting on my workdesk this week are a few of the bits I bought when I was in New Orleans... which is the home of the Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau. I picked up a couple of Voodoo dolls and a fabulous notebook and some pens and stuff... woo hoo!
Isn't the notebook fab? I think it will make a great journal for my trip!
and the coffin with the little Voodoo doll inside!!
Happy Second Anniversary of What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday!!

I wondered why there was no star next to your name. I know you are big on participating. And this is the perfect time for you to participate. There you are with your chains, too!
Can you get any better than a VOODOO Doll for VOODOO VIXEN? I don't think so.
Fabulous stuff as usual, Annette. I love what you made for Julia, it's so you, and I'm glad that this way Julia got her PiF as well, because I was wondering about that. Lovely PiF that Julia sent you - you two are lucky!
Totally love the voodoo doll in her coffin!
Great canvas you have done for each other and some love the notebook.
Oh my...what wonderful gift you made each other! And that stuff you got from New Orleans...well strange for sure LOL! I so enjoyed your vacation pics you have posted as well! Happy 104th WOYWW!
Wow! That's such an awesome canvas! And you did both sides! Amazing! :)
What a wonderful PIF you made. Glad you both got to join in:)
Wow gorgeous pif's on both sides of the Atlantic!
Happy woyww Anniversary

Happy 2nd Birthday to WOYWW :-) Your canvas is fab, I particularly love how you've hung the letters off it.

Awesome looking canvases you guys made each other! I have enjoyed reading about your vacation. I have done a similar cruise that went to Belize and Costa Maya! I love the Carribbean. Thanks for sharing this week. Vickie

Wow ...both those canvas' are brilliant. I find the voodoo bits a little scarey ...not sure why ????
Hi ya
oh i never thought about Julia being linked good job one of us is on the ball! lol, Fabulous creations, it a brill idea, happy WOYWW, sue,x
I love your canvas (or Julia's canvas) such a great idea to do the back as well!
I have often wished I had a voodoo doll, there are a few men I wouldn't mind sticking a pin in, but am a bit of a scardy cat and worry that I will conjure up all sorts of trouble for myself-just best to let the mean old men find their own trouble :)
Happy WOYWW, oh an I also love the notebook, I have a collection of notebooks that are too pretty to use. I think if I had yours, it would fall into that category :)
Great Pifs from both ends! Love all your Voodoo bits!
Happy WOYWW birthday!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
Fabulous canvas work love them both.

Those are fabulous canvases! Esp love the that there are 2 sides! You're definitely someone who doesn't settle for anything but fab!
I have to say though that I'd be scared to have a notebook like that! I don't think I could write in it. Call me a scaredy cat! It took me 2 years to forget the scenes in The Sixth Sense. Patsy from

Both those canvasses are amazing.

Thanks for sharing and have a great week,

I love how you incorporated the WOYWW letters! Makes it useful, commemorative, but not intrusive, IYKWIM. Genius! And so lovely.
Happy 104th WOYWW!

Fabulous work as always - both of you must love what you've received. Nothing quite like a gift made with love by a friend, eh?
Happy WOYWW 104!
Hi there. Gorgeous canvases you have exchanged there. Sorry I have missed you but I have been looking but could not comment 'cos blogger wouldn't let me! Can today tho!
Love those Voo Doo dolls and the book.

Happy 2nd WOYWW Birthday have a lovely day ((HUGS)) ;o) Liz
Lovely canvasses, but scary Voodoo stuff . . . I'm off . . .
Hugs, Sandra
I’m making a special effort to get around everyone as it’s a special week this week.
It’s such a shame the dated were mixed up but how lucky are you to get your PIF from the Queen Bee herself.
Happy WOYWW 2nd Anniversary and …………….
Happy Crafting

Hi Annette, love your PIFs, the one you made for Julia and the one you received - fabulous. You can now sit and admire your canvas whilst the rest of us wait in a state of anticipation. Have a great 2nd WOYWW birthday. Elizabeth x #81
Love the stuff! Especially the book you bought. The canvas is fabulous, Happy 2nd WOYWW
woyww is indeed an institution, so good to be celebrating two whole years, and long may it continue,
I love the VooDoo findings, never quite sure why it doesn't creep me out, i kind of like macabre, the 'you can't live if you are afraid to die?' thing is probably why...
Dx
well that is fine... great gifts, so nicely done

I love the canvas and am not a little embarassed by my effort. And no, I had no idea about WOYWW longevity - it's silly really! Good that you're back and that you had such a fab trip - although, hmm, your souvenirs arent what I'd have chosen!!
what beautiful gifts youve received and sent .love the coffin!
Happy Woyww 104 have agood one!
hugs judex
Both canvases are wonderful! Or should it count as three canvases! Did you two discuss what you were making or are both just on the same wavelength!?
Love the Voodoo stuff you brought home! Just be careful, lol!
Happy WOYWW 2nd Anniversary!
xoxo
Karen
Lovely canvases.
Happy WOYWW 2nd anniversary!

Your work is so beautiful. So beautiful. The colors! Nice! How about that voodoo doll with the black garb? Fabby. *smiles* Norma
OK Now I understand. I was quite baffled when I saw your name but no asterik. I know you love this kind of thing so I was worried that you were sick. Feel a lot better now. That canvas is awesome as usual.
Happy WOYWW Anniversary.
Wonderful Canvas exchanges...how sweet you added the WOYWW to Julia's.
I think I'd be afraid to have voo doo stuff in my house!
wow loving your work
fab canvasses
Happy #2 WOYWW anniversary
What marvelous canvases (canvasii? lol). How wonderful to make a two-sided one at that!
Lovely goodies on your desk as well, especially that journal.
Belated WOYWW :D. #8

Getting around eventually! Love your canvas - the double sided idea is awesome and the letters are such a great touch too. Well done for remembering Julia, it didn't occur to me that she wasn't on the list, I don't know why. Love your voodoo cache too.
FAb work! Happy WOYWW I'm a litle late this week. Hugs Pam x
Great work. This is my first time and I'm loving seeing what people are up to! :)
