It's a good Wednesday here, because I'm on vacation until next week -- woo hoo! (And I anticipate it to be filled with better fun than yesterday, which was largely spent troubleshooting the Internet connection, and installing/configuring a new router. First world problems, for sure.) If you'd like to join in the WOYWW festivities, sashay over to Julia's blog, Stamping Ground, for more details.
Here is my desk this morning, where nothing is going on. I haven't decided whether to jump in on an online challenge of some sort (since I've got the time) or whether I'll start a layout. The tag by the window is my version of Tim's August tag.
Last night I copied some Zentangle patterns from the Zentangle Basics book.
These are the back-to-school cards I made (doesn't everyone photograph things on the lawn??):
Hope this wasn't too long-winded! Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a marvelous day. As always, I'll visit folks who comment here, as well as those who share a last digit with me in the Mr. Linky list. I'd love to do more -- perhaps with it being a vacation week, I will! :)

Just getting into Zentangle myself, having always been a doodled, so easy toads time. I have just been copying patterns from Internet sites but getting a book, hopefully, for Christmas :)
Happy WOYWW

What a great workspace. I love the little things like the twine and the small containers of crafty goodness. Your cards are lovely with great detail, I <3 washi tape. Thanks for the grass photos, so green;). I will have to find out more about Zentangle, the patters are really interesting. Have a great week. Frances #69

I love your cards and yes I like to put things on the grass for photos - except when it is pouring down like today. x Jo

Gorgeous cards and I think the lwn background adds a little something too. You certainly couldn't have taken that photo here today - you'd have very soggy cards!
Have a good week,
