Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday. No desk to day, this is where we are at the moment- near Cockermouth - the birthplace of William Wordsworth “I wandered lonely as a cloud….”
Blogger is being a hindrance in getting this posted. It frequently mucks around on the IPad. This place is peaceful - especially now the mower has stopped. I am reading “The Distinctive Ideas of the Old Testament” by Norman Snaith, which is very interesting. It is one of several books I was given by an old lady, probably at least 15 years ago. I was having a sort through - my husband’s idea! He is of the opinion that once read a book should be moved on. If I like a book I will re read it several times, in fact sometimes a paragraph will come to mind from a book I enjoyed and I have to get it out so I can read it again. Last year I bought the complete Harry Potter Collection, I was missing a book and this was a positive bargain in its own case. The year before I bought a new set of Narnia books in a nice new case! I though my granddaughter would like my older books, but not interested!
I have posted most of my ATC’s, a couple were waiting addresses. When I find where my husband put them, I will post them :)
This is my entry for the April Challenge at Gecko Galz. The owl image was free and the background is made up of vintage colour swatches.
Joining up with Julia’s Stamping Ground. Looking forward to visiting.

We have friends in Cockermouth. Nice part of the country. Enjoy your break.
Love your owl but I must confess I thought it was fabric. It looks like that to me, maybe it's this infection doing it to me.
If I was well I would be able to drive up to see you, it's not that far from our caravan. Trust me to be ill and missing all this nice weather.
Have a great time, enjoy!
Hugs, Neet 3 xx
Lovely weather, site and the fact that you’re in Cockermouth, what a blissful part of the world! I hope the troubles with internet aren’t going to break through your chilled reveries! Those vintage colour swatches are just lovely, and make a great background for the owl, he’s rather super!
Enjoy your visit away Angela and the reading time. I do love that owl image. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #1

Hi Angela, late getting back from the meeting for my mum which seemed to go well but trying to get round a few of my friends before bed. Looks nice where you are. Should be quiet now the children are back at school. I received my ATC today but not quite ready to send mine out yet but nearly. Wishing you a very happy, creative though belated woyww, Angela x6x
Happy Belated WOYWW. I hope you continue to enjoy your stay in Cockermouth. Lovely part of the world. ATCs posted!! I haven't even started to make mine yet. Ali x #18
Your owl design is beautiful
I'm with you on books, I'll read favourites several times, though since I switched.to Ebooks, storage isn;t an issue. I was commuting so when I was getting towards the end of a book, it would mean carrying another for the way home.
take care and enjoy your stay in Cockermouth. It's a lovely part of the world.
hugs

Yes that owl is amazing! Lovely caravan setting. I'm house sitting at the moment, the lawn in the front is massive and has just been cut and smells famulous! Try and add photos next week! The views are good but the internet connection not brilliant! Keep crafting. Happy WOYWW ((Lyn))#7
Oh I am so jealous, a get away ! Hopefully in a month we can go someplace. Crops are in and spraying done today hopefully. Them we have 3 trips 3/4 hrs away for grand daughter's graduation, then a softball game, then the party. Always fun to share time together though.
I received your ATC today 8/8/23 and will have mine in the Mail Thurs/or Fri I have to travel to a bigger town to get stamps for over seas mail. Hopefully doesn't take too long. ENJOY. WISHING YOU SUNSHINE. Warm up here and no wind so I'm a happy home camper. Thank You for the Friendship and your sweet ATC.
