Morning, today is a special day at WOYWW as Julia has been getting us crafters together on Wednesday's to share our creative spaces for 4 years now! Whilst, I've only been taking part for a tiny amount of that timeI still wanted to get involved in the celebrations- if you'd like to join in too take a look at this page for details.
First things first, here is my desk- the daylight lamp is on due to the poor lighting levels on a wet and miserable Tuesday evening. It's not really any tidier than last week but in those 7 days it HAS had a complete overhaul, everything was put away and all the remaining bits were hovered up. I even got round to labeling up all my Promarkers with coloured end spots!!. However, since it's half term and I've been crafting and having such fun it's all looking at bit "lived in" again- ahhh well.
And now here is the fruits of some of my labor my WOYWW ATC- at this point I have an admission to make, ahem.... "my name is Rebecca (pause for everyone to say "hello, Rebecca" and I am a crafting addict and have been since I was a little girl, BUT this photograph shows the one and only ATC I have EVER made!" That's right, I've never made an ATC- not even one up until today. I suppose it's probably because I don't really have any "real" (as opposed to virtual) friends who or crafty or I guess I never felt the need or saw the purpose. However, here it is, my very first attempt- as this is all new to me I didn't really know what I was doing so I decided to just pick some ink and stamps and see what happened. The overall theme in my head was "night" because when I do get to join in with WOYWW I usually remember last thing on Tuesday after all my lesson planning is done and the sentiments are just words that reminded me of WOYWW.
Thanks for stopping by and if you are my swapsies partner my email is in the side bar!

Hi Rebecca
ReplyDeletelove your one and only ATC. They are very new to me I normally make 8"x 8" cards so such a small space to work on was a shock to my system.
Well done for making one for the swap today
Wishing you and everyone a Very Happy WOYWW today

It’s amazing that the internet can bring together so many likeminded people and I’m grateful that WOYWW has also brought along so many new friends, thanks to Julia.
ReplyDeleteGreat desk this week. I’m loving the ATC.
Enjoy your Wednesday snooping on this very special Day
Happy Crafting!

It is a great ATC Rebecca...first! Wow, thanks for making it for someone else. Actually, if you ever get into posting bits and pieces as swaps or challenges you'll prolly find them quite useful to pop in with the swap...collectible and less than a card..perfick really! Your lived in desk looks great to me, am veryimpressed at the dots on the Pro markers, great job done!
ReplyDeleteFor 4 years now i've been dropping by,
ReplyDeleteTo view some desks and see what I can spy,
Will it be a card, some stash or ATC,
whatever it is, thanks for sharing it,
Have a Happy WOYWW 4th Anniversary
very cool ATC by the way

Happy 4th, Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only one who is a first time ATC'er - I am too! Never made one before the one I've made for WOYWW4, and mine is a little different as I am a cross stitcher and not a painter or stamper. I'm hoping my swapee likes it. As for yours, it is fantastic! I love that blue. Well done for labelling your promarkers! Thanks for popping by, have a great week! Lucy #22 x
Well that is such a super ATC it's just fantastic! Well done!! Now, I need you to email me your addy (via profile) so that I can send you your ATC. Did you have a favourite from theones on my desk I wonder? Happy WOYWW4, Cindy x
ReplyDeleteI had trouble believing that was your first ATC, but I like to think the first one you make is the best, because you try so much harder. I really LOVE it, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW4 from # 17.
I love it!! What a fabulous ATC for WOYWW...love the way Wednesday goes off the page...Love the story behind it as well. And your desk is well on its way to becoming another, well, mess, which in my parlance is GOOD because that means there has been time to be creative!! Thanks for stopping by the Fun Room this week. Happy days ahead.

Lovely desk, I thought how lucky you were to have such a bright area, until I read the bit about the day light bulb! I have to do that too...
