Well, here we are again, another Wednesday.. another What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday - Julia will let you know what's occurring
here where we all meet up to nose/snoop/rummage through everyone's workspaces...
Mine this week is looking - well see for yourselves..
a bit of a jumble, to be honest! Some new crafting goodies (an early birthday present to myself) (more on the way..) and some souvenirs from Monday... (more of that in a sec) and a little pile of early birthday cards (it's Thursday, or tomorrow by the time you read this!)
I had a day out at Wimbledon on the opening day of the tennis championship... see my other
blog for all the info - and a gazillion photos - sorry if you click the link, there are lots and lots...you could be some time!
close up of the menu... it's my first experience of a "corporate " experience and one I really enjoyed!!
some of this will be appearing in a journal page soon!!
In case you don't have time to read the full story, we had tickets on Centre Court - Andy Murray v David Goffin and later Novak Djokavic v Andrey Golubev. Very very good!!
it was my boss who was hosting the day, and she took me and one of the other girls from the office, plus 3 guests. (she also has ladies semi final tickets when she'll take the other girl from work) We are so lucky!!

Hi Helen,
Lots of interesting stuff on your desk ... oh, wait a minute, that's all on your floor, isn't it? I've probably mentioned it before ... neither of us uses a conventional chair for making art :) I never sit down, hmm, unless I'm knitting, I suppose.
Have a good week,

What a treat. At least you will do something with all the souvenirs you got. What special memories. Happy Birthday for Tomorrow. #13
Looks (and sounds) like you had a great day out. Did you have strawberries and cream too? I'd take that over champagne any day! And typical - the week before the Newbury stamp show, when I need shopping tips, I am not seeing stash on your blog. You dickens, you. Next week, just for me, you can do a lovely WOYWW post n your top 10 must have new stamps....
{wink}
Happy WOYWW!

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Helen. Sounds like you had a real birthday treat already - did you have strawberries when there?
Hugs, Neet 27 xx

Great desk Helen! Love all the stuff to snoop about in. Sounds like a world of fun at Wimbledon. I went there many years ago with a scout troop just to look around (no matches that day) and it was impressive even then. Have a great week. Vickie #40
ah so you enjoy Wimbledon.. lots of folk do ... but I like it in little doses :D happy birthday. thanks for popping over happy WOYWW Shaz in Oz.x #14
Did indeed click the link, Helen - and was indeed there some time... Great day out was had by you all - what a fantastic experience. But - only 1 journal page??? - I should think you have enough for there at least three or four!! So glad you had such a good day. Your photos are great.
Thanks for visiting already - and for your comments on my sunrise photo. I love being out and about with the camera - not had much opportunity lately with John being so ill - but maybe soon....?

Hi Helen,
Happy early birthday! I wondered how a few deskers knew my birthday was coming up and see that Nikki spilled the beans! It's fun to share a birthday with a fellow desker!
How fun to go to Wimbledon! You have some nice mementos that will make a great scrapbook page.
Thank you for visiting me already.
Happy WOYWW

You were perfectly dressed for a day at centre court - loved the whole post. And yes, luck comes into it, but so does deserving! I've never been to a corporate thing like that - it looks fab...talk about access all areas!!
Happy Birthday! So much going on on your work desk! Congratulations on attending Wimbledon! Such a great bday memory.
middle son is a professional tennis coach and Novak trains at his club when he is in the states!
I had pix of MS kissing the center court from when he was a junior on tour!
Happy almost - do visit the PJ blog, and thanks for visiting

Fab WOYWW post. The Wimbledon lunch menu looks delicious, I would have had a hard time choosing.
Happy birthday for tomorrow Helen, hope it is a very special one.
What a wonderful day you must have had at Winbledon, what a lucky girl to have such a super boss who will treat you like this. Any jobs going there?
Bless you
Chris #26
Wow..... it certainly looks like you had a fab time ... so many goodies I will check out the earlier post. perfect timing for your birthday too.
Wimbledon is the only sporty occasion I follow and every year I say I'm going to apply for the ballot but never do.... maybe next year.

Happy birthday. You must have the best boss in the world. Centre court at Wimbledon, now that's really something.
I'll keep an eye out for your journal page.
Have a great week,
