All hail Miss Julia - she is responsible for bringing so many people together from around the world - some staying for ten years - what an achievement that is! I think it was July 2010 when I first joined in, a year late, and I try not to miss a single Wednesday - hope I haven't! I do know I have made lots of friends around the globe as a result and I have met up with several of them, both here in the UK and then mainly in America, but also dear Shaz in Oz whom I met a few years ago when she came to stay in Manchester. Some of them no longer join in and I miss them but often they pop back for a visit or I see them at CHA and friendships are renewed once more. Its like being part of a Big Family when you start playing at WOYWW.
Well, this week has seen the lace put away, the workshop is over and tidied up but I will take some photos and show you all what I actually did. I just needed a break - and to do some atc's for the 'Crop and Swop' (I know the latter is really spelt with an "a"). So my desk this week is different than it has been. If you are going to The Crop on the 1st June I will be taking around 25 - 30 atc's for swapping. Can't wait, it is so exciting!
On my glass mat are some blank atc's waiting to be made for the Crop. To the left is my teeny tiny Misti and left again my big box of Dylusion figure stamps. To the right of my glass mat you can see some figures that I have been quietly colouring in whilst sat in my comfy chair and beyond them some stamps still waiting to be put away from Port Sunny.
Behind is an assortment of bottles, don't ask, and on top some old work that hasn't got a place to be displayed so just sits idly on top of the boxes. An assortment of ink pads and then my Adirondacks are next along the line, then a swap which was in honour of someone in one of the groups I am in, and some scissors (which never get used), Below - the shiny tin is my large Gelli plate and there's all sorts of stuff behind it and then my kitchen rolls.
Well that's it for this week. I will have some spare atc's if anyone wants to swap and they are not going to the Crop. Just give me a shout and I will put one away for you.
Happy Anniversary!
