WOYWW 677: Post Anniversary

 What a great anniversary virtual get together was had for the 13th year of WOYWW.  It was so good to see everyone celebrating together yet separately.  It is never to late to start joining in, so hop over to Stamping Ground and Julia will explain how to get started.

My desk today shows an ATC from Catriona - so kind as I am not swapping this year.  Thanks again so much.

As you can see, I have finished with my floral stickers for the moment for my #dailychallenge2022.  I have been rummaging through boxes to find other themes that I can use instead.  Half term next week and I will be trying to get through all the report comments I need to write so I can enjoy a day off on the INSET day the folllowing Monday.  I have planned so many a day and have given myself the 4th June off entirely. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

WOYWW 676: Happy 13th Anniversay

Welcome and Congratulations to Julia and Jan on the 13th anniversary of the weekly desk sharing that is WOYWW.  Thirteen years of friendship, sharing and a weekly coming together of like-minded crafters.  Everyone is made very welcome.

My desk is actually not very celebratory at all.  I have had no time to make ATCs for the swap this year but very much look forward to seeing what other deskers share over the coming weeks on the theme of connection.  I was looking through some of the sticker sheets to decide on the next pages in my #dailychallenge2022 journal.  The last 7 pages have been using up plenty of them as you can see.

I look forward to visiting friends old and new and their desks over the next couple of days.  Happy WOYWW 13th anniversary everyone!

WOYWW 675: One Week to the Big Day

 The days seem to be speeding by and it is now only one week to the 13th anniversary of WOYWW.  It's never too late to join in and indeed, I have been a regular for fewer than 7 of these years.  Thanks Julia for creating such a fabulous community.

Rather déjà vu on my desk today.  The only way I can guarentee completing my daily journal page on a work day is to prep it the night before.  I never add the words or glue it into the book until the actual day though.

I still have boxes of stickers and papers and could probably continue this next year too.

Thanks for all your well wishes for my hospital appointment last week.  It went well and I have now had the all clear on a number of fronts.  Having finally been to get my eyes tested post pandemic (the previous one was October 2019), I have been told that the cataract in my left eye has developed quite a bit so I will have to have a yearly test from now on.  Collecting new glasses on Saturday though.  

I am really looking forward to a potential WOYWW crop and am busy amassing tags swap then as I don't have the time at present to make extra ATCs.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

WOYWW 674: What a Great Workshop

The Wednesdays certainly seem to be whizzing by and in two weeks we will be joining Julia at Stamping Ground to celebrate 13 years of desk sharing and WOYWW. I will be unable to join in with the ATC swap this year but look forward to seeing everyone else's efforts.

My desk today shows the samples that I made for this evening's One Day Special on Create and Craft with some fabulous new Clarity die sets.  I am still working on my #dailychallenge2022 as well.

I have started my third 6" x 6" kraft scrapbook from The Works and have started added gesso to the pages of a fourth.  

I ahd the most fabulous time at Tilly Tea Dance's workshop on Saturday and was really pleased with the results.  Many of you have already seen the results on FB and thanks so much for the lovely comments.

Here it is for anyone who missed it - sunflowers and lavender.  It was also fabulous to catch up with Jo and Annie (Twiglet and Whipso) who came to help Maxine tidy and pack away afterwards.

Bank Holiday Monday saw us celebrating Dad's 88th birthday with a small family get together and cake.  My sister has just moved house so we got to look round too.

I am off to Stafford hospital later for a minor procedure so may catch up with everyone tomorrow.  Happy WOYWW everyone.

WOYWW 673: Only 3 Weeks

 Well the school holidays may be over, but it is only 3 weeks until we celebrate the 13th anniversary of WOYWW - the longest running weekly blog hop going.  Thank you so much to Julia for getting it all started and everyone who takes part regularly - such a great group of crafters.

I must admit that my desk shot was taken yesterday afternoon as I got my #dailychallenge2022 ready for an early morning craft on a work day.  Here is a round up of the last 7 days as always.

I am currently working my way through a stash of K & Co floral stickers that I found in a drawer.

I am really looking forward to my second Tilly Tea Dance workshop on Saturday so hope to be able to share the results next week.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.
