It does not seem like a whole week has passed since we were last here, making the most of our Julia's group of Woywwers from around the world. If you want to see what Julia and the rest of us get up to then please have a look at Julia's blog for an explanation (http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/).
I have had a very busy crafty week, I won the Penny Black challenge last Saturday for which I am absolutely delighted!! I made a creation from a block of wood and another creation for Sunday Stampers, (both of which I posted on my blog), a cameo necklace and I have made a start on my Tim Tag for July. I don't have a blowy thing so I had to resort to the old huffing and puffing, not happy with the result so I may have to break the habit of a lifetime and resort to visiting a Macdonalds to get a couple of straws which may or may not help. So my desk is littered with stamps and inks to finish off the tag, which will have a London/Olympics theme as, regretably, I do not have a Statue of Liberty stamp. Here is my desk:
Keeping it short, so as not to upset our hostess Julia. I am looking forward to having a good look around this week and visiting as many of you as possible. Happy WOYWW, Crafty hugs, Anne xx
Another busy person (everyone seems to be multi-tasking this week), I'm out of breath just reading about it. Haven't got any of the Frantage stuff, do I 'need' it?

ReplyDeletewow - your desk does look interesting today - can't wait to see the Tim tag - can you join in at any time or do you have to have done the full set? Have a crafty day! Hugs Rachel xx
ReplyDeleteI like your attempt at the blowing paint thing it looks good. Don't forget to show us the end result Anne.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Love Lynn xx
I saw the Frantage powders being demo'd at the Craft Barn but have resisted (so far!!) Love your desk today - I must do this month's Tim's tag I have missed several.... Helen 16
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win and now I will have to look up Frantage no idea what that could be. Post a pic of the Tag when it is finished.
ReplyDeleteSandra @43
Woo hoo! great win for you and so good that your fab work is selected.
ReplyDeleteWe really did have a sensational time in Slovenia and i can truly recommend it for a holiday. Make sure you see Donna's blog too! What a laugh we had.
Love joZarty x
Like the look of the Tim tag so far...and of course it has to be olympics related!!! Trish #68
ReplyDeletelooking forward to seeing your olympic tag anne...I know it will be fabulous and like you I'm having a wind knocked out of my sails day...puts everything in perspective doesn't it...happy WOYWW kath xxx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the PB challenge! Love all the british elements waiting to be used on your tag, look forward to seeing how it turns out x April #86
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my desk already today. I can see you are well into the Timmy Tag and you have the other Artiemo London stamps to me (flags are cool aren't they) The huffing and puffing ain't easy even WITH an air can thingy. I tried at least 7 times before giving up and just going with thew last one I did! Looking forward to seeing your finished tag. BJ#80
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comment, love your desk too. Re huffing, I have resorted to using a tin of compressed air, works really well and one is not puffed out. Francesca #94
ReplyDeleteWell done on the win, well deserved!! Your work is fab...I think the start of your tag looks great..not done mine yet! Have a great weektrace x. 48
ReplyDeleteAll taht lovely shopping and such goodness to play with Anne. Congratulations on your challenge win too. Celebrate Britain for it surely is a marvellous place!
ReplyDeleteYay for winning the challenge - well done you!! And I can just imagine you on a hunt for a blowy-thing :D Good luck with that one. Though I remember blowing paint around with my boys when they were small, fun times!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ ~57 xx
Ah, some nice things to play with there! And congrats on the win too! Will look forward to seeing your London Olympics tag. There's only the two (WOYWWers) of us here in Sydney (as far as I know), Sandra de and I, and we have lunch maybe every three months or so. Thanks for visiting and for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
Your desk is looking very busy Anne and the tag will be awesome I'm sure. The cameo is sweet. Craft shopping is my favourite kind of shopping. Have a wicked Wednesday :0) x
ReplyDeleteBusy week you've had Anne.. lots of crafting going on.. Your tag is looking good.. I will go with the british theme also as dont have the other stamps for Timmie's tag.. your new goodies look fun!! Thank you so much for your lovely comments today... Hugs May x x x #8
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, winning with your beautiful piece, Anne. I'm not a bit surprised, it's stunning. Your desk this week looks fascinating, and I'm sure your patriotic British tag will be every bit as good as the American ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment - I was hoping to be #1 but you can't have everything! I'm loving my Perfect Pearls and had great fun making up the palette. Next job, make one for my alcohol inks. I'm so glad you like the picture you bought from me. I'm hoping for great things from Shoshi's Blog Shop, once it gets going!
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #4
You so made me laugh Ann, talking about your ‘blowy’ thing. I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. Obviously I’m not making the tags, so I’m going to have to visit Timmy in order to solve the mystery, Lol
ReplyDeleteI’m sure that your tag is going to look perfect with an Olympics theme.
Thanks for stopping by this week.
Happy Crafting!

Love those London stamps...well done on winning the Penny Black challenge! Carole Z X
ReplyDeletethank you for the visit to my very long blog post - I very much like your red blooms on the card on the left, but also the blue butterflies on the right, come to think of it I quite like everything in the middle too - yup - you have one magnificent desktop of craft work...
ReplyDeletedxxx 66
Lots to snoop there - Those blowy inky thingys look good - think I would be passing out with all that huffing and puffing. Have agreat week. x Jo #63
ReplyDeletewell done on winning the pb challenge,tag is looking good :)
ReplyDeletehave a fabby crafty week
kay #52
I like the idea of a London Olympics theme for your tag that will commemorate history! :)
ReplyDeleteMary Jo #107
Congrats on the PB win! I also hate the huffing. I think I am going to run to the office store and pick up a can of compressed air. Dani 31
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win!! Awesome work in progress too! The unlit match on my desk I can tell you about. I use them to apply glue to stuff so when I'm done with it, I just toss it instead of using a brush or something and having to clean it!! I love altering the match boxes, and at least I use the matches too!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!!
xxDaniella#27
happy woyww Anne. congrats on the win, that card was fantastic.I really liked the da vinci atc as well, it was hard putting it in the post lol. Love the stuff you are doing with the wood. mark
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Anne!
ReplyDeleteYour card was lovely!
Hugs
I can't believe your desk is so tidy given all you've done! Congrats on the win. I love the butterfly card; really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
cheers, rachel #11
Your tag is looking great. The red and blue is so vibrant! Congrats on winning the Penny Black challenge. I do so love her stuff. I find the challenges hard though.... hard on my wallet as someone always uses something I MUST have right now. Surely, you can find another straw source than Mickey D's?!?!?!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Tim's tag this month, but I think you did a much better job with your British inspired one than Tim's statue of liberty. After all, he needs to take other nations into consideration. I fear it's all about the sales, that's why I never buy his stuff. OK, I realize that was probably inappropriate, especially since you just bought a bunch of stuff. I know how addicting new products can get. I did it for an entire nearly a month one year and now I have more stuff than I will ever use in my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteBut this is about the desk, and I was delighted to read you had won the Penny Black challenge. BTW, I have about a thousand straws if you need one or two (grin). Happy WOYWW from # 1.
Redanne, you always have a good bit of crafting to share!
ReplyDelete:)trisha, #36 this week (link)
You have done well to make the background with no canned air. I am going to have a go at the tag this week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the challenge.
Carol
Wow, you have been busy!! Haven't tried out Tim's Tag yet this month, been saving my breath!! Congrats on the Penny Black win and Happy WOYWW Cindy #18
ReplyDeleteI did laugh about the straw technique - clever girl. And even more clever to use it to drink your tea first, wink :) Di xx #59
ReplyDeleteYou have had a busy, creative week! Congrats on winning the PBC!!
ReplyDeleteI've done all the fairy jobs that needed doing around the estate, so I can sit back and go snooping! Thanks for coming by to visit me earlier!
Hope next week is as exciting and productive for you as this one has been!
Congratulations on your win Anne,
ReplyDeleteI have to say I'd have thought of a drinks bar for a few straws before Macdonald's but each to their own ~ hic!
You've been very creative and I can't imagine what I'd do with a block of wood...or maybe I can but let's not go there eh?
Have a great time with WOYWW ~ must dash I'm visiting...diddledee diddledee ;D

First, I want to hug you for leaving such nice comments for me, you're a real sweetheart!! I love how you TH tag turned out and yes, it is nice that we share the same patriotic colors! I had to huff and puff my way through the tag too, but I think your fireworks turned out better than mine! Sorry I am so late in visiting, but my friend's visit kept me occupied! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting.I'm using alcohol inks on foil today. Hmm..interesting. Looking forward to seeing what you do with these Anne.
ReplyDeleteJudy #19
P.S. congrats on your win Anne!! I know what that blowy thing is.It is a cylinder with gas that you squirt out.Would a balloon pump work I wonder.I love how those inks disperse.
ReplyDeleteJudy #19.
My goodness Anne, you have been busy and before anything else Congratulations on your win. Looks as if you have lots of things to keep you busy during this week.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am late this week and thanks for the good wishes. Hugs, Neet #47 xx
You might be better off with a can of compressed air from the computer shop Anne, save a trip to the hideous Golden Arches and save you huffing and puffing too! Well done on the wins, it's lovely to get some new goodies from a win. Sounds like you've been very busy, enjoy your weekend.
