Happy What’s On Your Workdesk This Wednesday (WOYWW if you will!) If you’re joining us for the first time, we are one week away from the 4 year anniversary of this meme which my friend Julia at Stamping Ground runs for creative folk to share their workspaces – their latest creations – and to get voyeuristic joy out of seeing what everyone else is up to in any given week! Next week is the great ATC Anniversary Swap for those who care to participate so I mention all of this up front so that anyone who is new and/or unaware can be sure to stop by Julia’s to get the full details!
For those of you who are new to ATC making – or who are last minute ATC makers who could use some great 8 ½ and 12 x 12 ATC templates to help you cut your ATC bases – be sure to check out my post WOYWW – Tips For Making ATCs.
Now, with all of this talk about ATCs, you might think you are getting a peek of things to come – but you’re not! Today’s art project is my Happy Birthday Daisy Card. As you’ll see from today’s list of Art Challenges, I incorporated quite a few challenge ideas into the card!
I also wanted to share a scrumptious treat I made for a Recipe Challenge – a Flourless Chocolate Torte with Berries! If you want to surprise your family with something that’s as beautiful as it is delicious, this recipe gets my family’s thumbs up!
Have a fabulous week and if you’re in need of a Feline Fix, you’ll find both Legend and Tsunami hanging out on this week’s Wordless Wednesday!

I’ve been trying to leave you a message for a week. I keep coming back and can’t leave the message. This is the first time I’ve been able to see the comment section of your posts.
Love the looks of the torte. And good for my friends who are gluten free, too.
Happy WOYWW from #10.

Hi Elizabeth,
So glad to hear from you! Sorry you’ve been having difficulties leaving a message. I finally got your message – it took awhile because it ended up in my spam box! (I’ve been inundated as of late!)
Hope you’ll stop by again and have better luck next time!
I don’t think my message went through. I’ve not been able to see the comment box till now, and I guess my comment didn’t take. I hope I can get this straightened out by next week.

Just letting you know I got this one too – again, it ended up in spam for some reason (I think poor Akismet is getting overworked as of late!)

OK, here’s the thing, first I am apologizing for not having been around, but I have been uber busy and now I am going to have the audacity to ask you to do a favor for me ( shakes head, I’m shameless ) But I am in a contest and sad to say but it’s the truth, it’s a popularity vote, so here’s the favor…would you be so kind to go over and vote for me? I sure would appreciate it from the bottom of my pitiful heart! lol (vote for the camera, please ) waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥ #19

Joy – so happy to see that you linked up to Whimsical Wednesday. I love your card. Love the plain paper, with the same paper only with flowers and then the flower embellishment. Comes together so nicely. Thank you for sharing.
