Crumbs, it's already here! Four years of WOYWW courtesy of Queen Julia and the big ATC swop - wahoo, you can also grab a badge like this one above from Julia's.
That's the good news, the bad news is I haven't made a single ATC due to this little lot:
Also, the 'gubbins' at the front is the start of a card I was asked to make for our outgoing lady chairman. Those flowers took hours to make as each single layer is three sections - talk about glutton for punishment/detention/writing of lines, especially 'cos she seems to think I'm still a school junior! The ribbon is to go on the box I need to make for the card.
I've already made promises to some close bloggy friends to exchange ATCs - and they understand why I'm up against the end stop. Also, two other lovely bloggy friends have already sent me ATCs to be opened today - and I've kept to what they asked - but I do know they're both pretty mean with sewing machines and the envelopes are a tad plump :)
Sooooo, am not linking with an 'asterisk' today, why put more pressure on folks when I'm not even ready. BUT if you already have plans to send an ATC to 'Chez Moi' - or really would like one from me - do please let me know in a comment and I'll make my little batch right after the reunion weekend. Big Brownie Promise! Oh, and to 'The Knicker Sisters' - I'll be returning the favour and you're on my little list :)
Happy 208th WOYWW!

I can quite understand why you have been a tad short of time with all those magnets to make. Well done for finishing them in time. I am also not joining with the swap this time. Thank you for passing on that lovely message from Barbara. She and the Clarity team sent me a beautiful arrangements of hyacinths. Hope your reunion goes well. xx Maggie
ReplyDeleteGorgeous magnets and a stunning card. :-) Such a pity you can't do the ATC thingy but I guess you would have no fingers left after all the work you've been doing !!!! Such a busy lady :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a rest soon or you'll wear out !!!

ReplyDeleteYou've been one busy young lady... enjoy your time away. Now maybe you can relax just a bit. Will you share your card when you get back home? It looks lovely from what I can see. See you in a few.....

ReplyDeleteKnicker sisters... oh my, think that one might stick!! You won't be disappointed, their ATC's are stunning! Glad you managed to finish all the magnets... what a workload!!Happy 4th WOYWW Anniversary! Annette #2
ReplyDeleteHelloooo! Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteHad to LOL at your Knicker Sisters!! Gotta be their new name. Which is Elastic and which is Lace then?
I have an ATC to go in the post for you Honey.
Hugs

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.
ReplyDeleteI’m not surprised you didn’t have time to make ATC’s having done that little lot Di but only finishing yesterday………..I thought you were a lot more organised than that!
Enjoy your Wednesday snooping on this very special Day
Happy Crafting!

Have a great time at the crop which I will sadly miss due to flying to Germany.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards and book marks... what a result!!
Happy 4th WOYWW anniversary
love Jo x
Crikey, well done on getting all those bookmarks done! The card looks fab. Happy 4th WOYWW. Pam#33
ReplyDeleteyou are a glutton for punishment...I love the bookmarks and the card though. I am way behind on making my ATC and hope to have them out this weekend so if you would like to share a swap email me at okienurse@gmail.com and I will swap with you. Happy WOYWW 4th Anniversary. Have a great week. Vickie #14
ReplyDeleteLast minute is Friday night! You've done well gal, great job..and we know how well received they'll be. Glutton for punishment or incapable of saying no...hmmm, too nice for your own good of course. We're having a bit of a get together ourselves on Saturday (!!), we'll of course be thinking of you . Have bags of fun. And no naughty school pranks!
ReplyDeleteFor 4 years now i've been dropping by,
ReplyDeleteTo view your desk 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

You must be soooo pleased to have finished all those bookmarks! Enjoy your reunion.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th Anni WOYWW! Your desk, the card, and the bookmarks? Impressive, Di! That really says it all. Impressive! Have a WONDERFUL time at the reunion (and next time say, "NO!")!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Di, I do think there is a case to be made for changing the timing of the school reunion in future years ... just so it doesn't coincide with the WOYWW anniversary. That's a sterling job you've made of those bookmarks and the card is simply stunning - I'm sure the lady chairman will be suitably impressed too. Have a wonderful time at the bash :) Oh, and happy 4th anniversary to you - I hope you've had a lovely WOYWW, Elizabeth x #155
ReplyDeleteI think it's sad you won't get to attend the crop, but I know you'll have a lot of fun at the reunion. You'd better. After all, you've worked very hard on those magnets!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW4 from # 17.
I'm glad you got all those bookmarks finished up, but what a job! Leave it to beaver next time! Have a wonderful time at the reunion, pity about the crop though.

Hi Di,
ReplyDeleteThe bookmarks look fantastic, you have done so well to get them all finished. I too haven't asterisked my posting due to lack of time. I am sure everyone understands just fine.
Lovely card there too, as always!

Enjoy your reunion, you should after all that hard work, and have fun

ReplyDeleteHello Di,
ReplyDeleteThat's A LOT of bookmarks! The card looks beautiful (as do the bookmarks).
I haven't started my ATCs yet either so am still taking names... with the caveat that they know I'm not going to be on time..... haa.
Phoenix was wonderful. A real vacation and I needed it so - even if we didn't do a whole lot.
Happy WOYWW my lovely friend!
Love,
Kay (158)
Goodness - what a lot of bookmarks - and well done with the card - it's gorgeous. Open up a nice bottle of bubbly and relax for a while after all that.
