WOYWW 208

It's here. Yes folks, it's the 4th anniversary of What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

 

Can you believe it? That for 4 whole years now, crafters and artists from all over the world (well over a 100 of them now) have each week been sharing with each other what's going on in their crafty/creative spaces. Inspiration, education, friendship, nosiness, humour, support, silliness... it's all there, every week, thanks to the magic of the internet. How awesome is that? :)

 

This week, despite it being such a special occasion, my desk is still a desperately untidy shambles. :D

 

 

I have been doing some creating tonight (and if you look closely amongst the chaos you may see a project or two in progress) but taking pride of place on the desk tonight is my project for this exciting occasion - my WOYWW4 ATC.

 

 

This little creation - hand-drawn and coloured by me - will be winging its way to whichever WOYWWer links up after me with the requisite *. I've also got another few little goodies hidden away to send out to some of the regular commenters on my WOYWW posts. ;)

 

On that note, I'm off to bed cos it's laaaate (why oh why do I end up staying up so late crafting?! :lol:). I hope you all have a great Wednesday and a fun and awesome WOYWW anniversary. :D

 

 

WOYWW 156 - The Anniversary Edition! :)

Well folks, it seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye but would you believe it's the 3rd anniversary of WOYWW?! I've only been blogging for a couple of years but I've loved joining in with WOYWW over that time (with only a couple of missed weeks) and taking a peek at what crafty people all over the world are working on... and sharing some of my makes, and my day to day life. :)

In honour of this momentous occasion, the omnipotent Julia, Queen of WOYWW, has organised an ATC swap for those who want to take part. And I do! So... here's what's on my desk this morning:

Yup, it's a pile of crafty chaos and a bunch of ATCs. I *am* taking part in the "send an ATC to the person after you in the list" part of the swap but these ATCs aren't for that person. Oh no, I felt like sharing big-time so these ATCs are for the first 10 people to comment on this post saying that they want one of them. If you are one of those select 10 commenters, please click here to email me with your name and address and I'll get one of these ATCs sent out to you (edit: I'm happy to post anywhere in the world! :D).

Thanks for stopping by my blog on your tour of the WOYWW desks... I hope you're enjoying the anniversary! I've struggled to get round many of the WOYWW desks in recent weeks but I'm going to make an extra special effort this week to visit as many as I can!

Happy anniversary, happy Wednesday, happy WOYWW! :)

How lovely is my husband? :)

Today is our 7th wedding anniversary.

Hubby usually works away during the week... and to the best of my knowledge he was heading down to London in the early hours of this morning, after being home for the bank holiday yesterday. He went through the charade of going shopping yesterday for his weekly food shop, of going to bed early and of getting up in the early hours (though not as early as usual, not that I realised what time it was, being half asleep) to supposedly leave. He even went so far as to text me at 7am to say he had arrived safely, as he usually does, and to move his car so that when I got up in the morrning and got the kids up, I couldn't see his car on the drive.

So I got up this morning, thinking he was in London, got the kids up, gave the baby to my mum for some cuddles while I got DD1 dressed and then took DD1 downstairs to take her to nursery for the morning... at which point hubby appeared from his office and said he'd come with us! So I thought my anniversary surprise was that hubby has arranged to work from home all this week, which is lovely. Hubby insisted on driving the car as we took DD1 to nursery and then driving us home... except on the way home he suddenly turned off the route and drove to a local - very nice - spa, where he opened the glove box and gave me my swimming costume and told me to have a nice day... I was booked in for a full day pamper package! :D

So I've had a lovely day with use of the pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam cabinets and a paraffin wax hand treatment, a full body wrap, a full body massage and a mini manicure. Not to mention a croissant breakfast, a lovely buffet lunch (with glass of champagne) and an afternoon tea (and cake!!) - and another complimentary glass of champagne! Oh and a lovely big bunch of flowers from hubby, given to me at the spa. And all completely out of the blue. Have I got a great hubby or what? :)

Thank you so much for a lovely day, Davey. Love you big lots.

P.S. Here's the card I made him for our anniversary:

And now the kids are in bed we are heading out for a rare meal out together in a nice local Italian restaurant. :)
