Wasn't last week fun! I would like to say a huge thanks to Julia (http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/) for organising the ATC swap, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and have corresponded with people in the four corners of the earth. If you want to know more about WOYWW then check out Julia's blog for info.
My post will be very short this week as I have done nothing since last week other than a challenge and also my Tim Holtz tag for June but I am not posting that until Friday. I thought I would show my desk with some of the ATC swaps that I have received. Starting at the top left is from Ann B, then May, followed by Trish and on the bottom row, two from Mark and the last one is from BJ. How lucky am I! And there are more on the way too. I made a little binder from Kraft envelopes to keep them all safe.
Also on my desk is my Tim Holtz Compendium II, which I have yet to look at and also Craft Stamper, again unopened. Why? Well we spent most of the weekend watching all things Jubilee. I don't know how the Queen feels but I feel totally worn out and I just watched it on TV.
I managed to visit nearly 100 desks last week, not sure I will make so many this week but if you do visit I hope you will leave me a comment and I will do my best to do the same for you. Crafty hugs, Anne x
I totally agree, the ATC exchange was fun and what fun it will be to see all the others as they arrive.Thanks for sharing your lovelies..Happy 157, and yes I too caught the Jubilee on our CNN
ReplyDeletefun to see the celbrating.
You are very good at leaving encouraging comments Redanne. Your desk still looks pretty interesting to me.That Tim Holtz course and compendium look /sound so interesting.

I can't wait to see your TH tag, mine is done too and will post mine on Saturday! Thanks for sharing a pic of the ATC's, they look lovely and I cannot wait to get yours! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteHi Anne...I'm having a short and sweet day too...my tag is also done and yes I'm feeling a tad tired too...must have been all that excitement...happy WOYWW hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Anne, thanks for showing your ATCs, I have done so too. Still loving my gorgeous dolphin from you, not sure I will ever want to put them away. I have a hanger on the wall which ATCs fit in but they get obscured a bit but perhaps I could make a display "thingy" similar using acetate myself. Hmmmm cogs are grinding now LOL - BJ#32
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, I think we all have Jubileeitus, I certainly have. Your ATC was fantastic, but then I love all your wonderful work. I still have a few ATC's to send, but you will receive one from me soon. Enjoy your day. Hugs Rita 17 xxx
ReplyDelete...tis a loVely neat & tidy & organised desk Anne with a few things waiting in the wings...your ATC swaps look gorgeous, have a fabby day...Mel :) #27
ReplyDeleteI visited over 120 blogs last week, and I was exhausted. Especially after I had a hail storm on Wednesday evening and a massive cleanup on Thursday. I was ready for a bit of R and R. I would love to read Tim's book one day, but I doubt my library will have it. I even enjoyed the Jubilee across the pond. Happy WOYWW from #4.
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call a tidy desk! You've clearly put so much thought and effort into your ATC swap you may have needed a bit of a break. Mind you, talk about mastering self-restraint! When my CC2 arrived it was (and still is) permanently open - boy is your mojo going to get a further shot in the arm!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your June tag - did you find it easy/hard? I'm just building up the courage to have a go at that one. Hugs as always my crafty friend. Buttons x
Isn't it nice to receive such nice things in the post. Better than bills anyday. Even our postie gets excited now.

One I made earlier today
Your desk looks very organised Anne - and those ATC's look fab! Hugs Rachel xx
ReplyDeleteLove your desk today, very neat! I had some lovely ATC's too. Helen 16
ReplyDeleteMorning Anne, and here's me thinking I'm getting in early this morning! Love the ATC's on your desk...must get more organised for next year. Hope you enjoyed all the jubilee fun over the long weekend, hugs Erika. #61
ReplyDeleteYou know Anne, I too have not opened CS this month - plus another magazine I bought. I blame the Jubilee celebrations for this lack of activity but wasn't it worth a few days of sitting watching tv as history was made. made me proud to be British. Now we have the Olympics to look forward to - what a year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your desk, Hugs, Neet #6 xx
Happy woyww, looks like a nice collection of atcs. thanks again for the swap. mark
ReplyDeleteLovely group of treasures received. It all adds to the value of WOYWW. Thanks for visiting , you certainly did well with lots of visits last week.
ReplyDeletejoZarty x
great idea to make a storage holder for your fab atcs
ReplyDeletehave a fab crafty week

I think we all enjoyed the swap, and I agree just watching the Jubilee wore me out too! Take care my WOYWW friend. Zo xx 65
ReplyDeleteThe jubilee was great even from this far away, we could hear all the cheers. Cant wait to see the rest of the ATCs you get
ReplyDeleteBridget #21
Looking foward Anne to your Sir Timmie Tag... I hope to have a go this weekend it looks fab... I am so glad you liked your ATC I loved mine from you thanks again x..Have a Happy week, Hugs May x x x#34
ReplyDeleteYou visited how many desks??? Wow that's impressive Anne,
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed watching all the Jubilee celebrations from here...I've heard so many wonderful comments from the all the Aussies. No-one does the pomp and pageantry as well as the British! I've felt so proud and now looking forward to the Olympics.
Your desk looks very organised and those ATC's look great.
Thanks for visiting me earlier.
Have fun with WOYWW ~ enjoy :D
I too totally enjoyed the swap. Happy mail is such a wonderful thing! Thanks for sharing this morning!
ReplyDeleteGlenda #85
You have some lovely ATC's there! Enjoy your TH Compendium :o) x April #79
ReplyDeleteThanks for calling in on me and for your lovely comments. I wasn't able to do much blogging over the last week with being so poorly but I'm determined to call in on as many as I can in between jobs today. What fab ATCs and what fun it was swapping.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
A x #59
great looking ATCs I see your TH book.. I just got mine and haven't had a chance to crack the binding yet I wanted to wait until I had a lot of time to play have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann thanks for popping in to visit. Lovely ATCs. You need to make time for Tims Compendium and I have to make time for more 101 lessons (I am on number 2!) WOYWW Hugs from Helen 105
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely selection of atc's you have recieved.
ReplyDeleteI have just had a look at your creativity over this weeks posts ....love it all ...especially the box man-card.
What a good idea, making an ATC binder from craft emvelopes! I just bought the new compendium book, but I too haven't had time to open it! we better hop to it I guess! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!

I so enjoyed the warmth and love and camaraderie from all around the world last week - in our own way, we are making the globe a better place, I think. I haven't done much either, got to get myself into gear as I've got a couple of fairs coming up!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #70 xx
it was a fabulous weekend but even I was thinking poor Queenie I'm sure she wants to escape and just have a cuppa! Looking forward to seeing all the atcs - these look fab! Thanks so much for the visit! Sarah.
ReplyDeleteHi Redanne,
ReplyDeleteVery cool collection of ATCs there! I agree with the others, getting things in the mail (the old fashioned) way is so much fun!
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,

Great way to store your lovely atc's. I haven't looked at the bbc news site yet today to see the Jubilee roundup of the celebrations, pity the weather was so typical!

Lovely neat desk, Anne, and you've gotten some awesome ATCs! You should have a lie down after all your TV Jubilee exhaustion!
ReplyDeleteGlad is isn't just me who hasn't done much this week but still some beautiful mini works of art on your desk. I also enjoyed swapping - maybe we will have to persuade Julia to do it again next time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by earlier - eye seems a bit better and Sorrel is going great guns.

ReplyDeletehave a happy week :)
france #71 xx
Oh the binder is a great idea Anne, I have a page from miss Ds old Pokemon card collection! Not so sophisticated! Isn't it amazing how much pleasure these little ATCs have garnered!
ReplyDeleteHi Many thanks for stopping by & for the advice about the silicon glue - I am a bit scared of using a wet glue on a card in case I make a mess - I suppose you have to be super careful ? Ali #42
ReplyDeleteOh your ATCs look wonderful. I would have joined in but for Lindsay's bereavement. I'll swap with you if you want though. Email me if you want to do so.
ReplyDeleteHugs Joanne xx
Wow how did you manage to visit 100 desks?
ReplyDeletelast week was fun I have sent all my ATC's off exept one to the philipeans as I have to go to the post office again, cost me a fortune in postage but never mind all good fun.
janet #53
Bit sad to have missed the swap last week, been so busy this is my first one in ages. Happy WOYWW!

It came!!! I love it!!! Thank you so much for the unique, made-with-care-and-love ATC. I will treasure it forever! I'm going to post a picture on tomorrow's post. HUGE hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteHello Anne!
ReplyDeleteI JUST mailed "Red Anne" today! So watch for her in, not sure how long. We have to fill out these new customs forms, in quadruplicate, at the post office now. So, "she's" in the postal hands now. *sigh*
Love ya!
kat
Well done for visiting so many desks. Your atc's look wonderful and I also have just got the TH Compendium II which is great. But, even better TH will be in Sydney in a fortnight and I am doing a 2 hour class with his majesty. Just a little bit excited!!!
ReplyDeleteSandra @36
Sorry I'm a day late in getting round this week. Thanks for sharing your workspace!! If you don't want the TH compendium, just send it over here, lol!!!
ReplyDeleteLisa Sparkle :)
Great ATCs Anne - thank you so much for hopping by yesterday. Sorry I'm a day late :( Belated Happy WOYWW. Di xx
DeleteI am hoping to make it to a few more this week than last week. Because of work commitments, I have been shockingly bad these last few weeks.
ReplyDeleteLoving all those ATC's you received.We have had a postal strike for the last 5 months (can you believe it?!)so I have not had any mail unless it had a tracking number and I could pick it up from the depot in 5 months. SOOOOOO Frustrating!
Happy WOYWW
I'm trying to get to heaps more people this week too. Your ATC's are gorgeous. I've been seeing lots of the ATC's on the blogs, so great to have been part of it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Von #1
Hi Anne, Those ATCs look great! Wondering if you bought that book, Teeny Weeny Cards? And if so, do you like it? I'm going to the TH workshop with Sandra too. Don't know whether to be excited or stressed!
ReplyDeleteRosA#153
Thanks so much for visiting me! Would love to see a photo of your sweet Wotchit! I envy you, making it to 100 workdesks--some weeks I do better at visiting than others. Hugs!
ReplyDelete100! That's great! I've never been able to make that many :) Love the ATCs you got! Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteKatie (19)
Neat desk. Last week WAS fun swapping with others wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Beautiful little tag on post above! I'm a bit late getting round the WOYWW desks this week - been busy making 3 more little wedding waistcoats. Have a great week. x Jo
ReplyDeleteI confess to having some unopened magazines around too. I am hoping this weekend will see me the chance to relax and peruse them. Love the ATCs you've received so far. This has been a fun swap. I like you idea of a special place just for the WOYWW ATCs. I think I'll make myself some kind of book or holder for them.
ReplyDeleteI didn't make WOYWW this week. Half term and kiddie minding took over. I watched all the celebrations too so not many art pieces this week and a piled up workspace. Not a pretty sight.Interesting ATC's I spy.
ReplyDeleteCarol x
I love your binder. Handy and crafty all at once - the perfect object.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and visiting.
cheers,
rachel
Looks like you've got some lovely ATCs there, Anne! What a good idea to make a binder for them all. I've got some transparent ATC holders to go in a loose leaf binder.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #89
So glad you like my zentangles, Anne! Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteShoshi #89
What a lovely collection of ATCs!

Yes...I'm still catching up of the week before WOYWW!!
ReplyDeleteOh I really HAVE to get me some more TH stuff, there is
