What’s On My Work Desk This Week?
This weekend, I received a text from a childhood friend. She shared how she was sick of all of the snow they were getting and how she was ready for sunnier days.
Yet – in a different place and time, I remember us singing “let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!” and dreaming of major snowfalls that brought with them the magical gift of a day off from school – a day left to one’s own devices!
This is the day that the Lord has made…
Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Today’s card – Rejoice – reminds us to focus on the good things in life.
It reminds us that each day God gives us is a gift to be lived to our fullest, not a promise to be taken for granted.
It reminds us that each day offers us another chance to celebrate life, not to bemoan it!
Rejoice features the following supplies:
- SEI 6 x 6 Paper Pad, Jocelyn
- K & Company Life’s Journey Pink & Beige Ribbons
- Close To My Heart Edge Anchors & Brads
- Prima Flowers
We all need this beautiful and gentle reminder every now and then – myself included!
I am not a fan of rainy days so this weekend – instead of celebrating a rare rainfall and the beautiful blooms that the downpours would still bring – I focused on how wet I would get if I ventured outside!
Visit Magellan and I at Wordless Wednesday – What Does Magellan See? to discover how God reminded us of His powerful presence and promised to us, even on the stormiest of days!
Now it’s your turn to inspire us with your creativity! What have you created this week? Be sure to share your latest creations with us at one of our weekly parties!
Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by to see what’s on my work desk this week!

Good luck to you Anne – I’ve tried several times in the past to climb that mountain and have yet to scale it!
Your card is beautiful. My dad quoted this verse often. Thanks for the sweet reminder of him. He was promoted to Heaven 7 years ago. We’re so glad that you (and Magellan – he’s beautiful) visited with us at Word Art Wednesday. We hope you’ll be back often.

Thanks for sharing your touching story with us Stephanie – I’m glad I brought a sweet memory to your mind!
That’s an excellent reminder to “give thanks in all circumstances.” Our pastor has mentioned these last two Sundays that we shouldn’t be grumbling about the snow and the weather, for it is made by the Lord. Plus, there are always blessings and things to be thankful for!
Happy woyww and happy creating,
Sandy #34
