WOYWW 156 - Happy anniversary

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JULIA AND ALL YOU FELLOW WOYWWers!*!*!*!

What's on your workspace?  Easy to answer this week - ATCs of course in celebration of the 3rd anniversary of What's On Your Workspace Wednesday, the weekly global blog hop that, just like Topsy, grew and grew.


So, a pile of ATCs, of course, stamps and envelopes.  I made quite a few so am hoping I can get a few people to swap with me as well as doing the 'next on the list' swap.  I already have three people who have said they will swap but I have lots ready to go to good homes - or even wickedly naughty homes.

If you want to swap then you can email via my Profile page and I will get back to you with my address.

Also on the desk, new Pan Pastels, yes, I gave in and bought a few - as if I needed any more colouring mediums, but then what's money for if not for spending, and Neet put me on to a very good deal.  Only three showing there, the rest are hidden behind all the Distress Inks.  Not had time to have a proper play but I did make a couple of backgrounds for ATCs and then had a play yesterday with the three colours you see and an eraser - to make the lines on the cards bottom left.  They blend beautifully and are super-rich colours so I'm pleased with the results.

Short(ish) post this week in the true spirit of WOYWW so a big thanks to Julia for hosting this great blog hop and I raise my glass to say 'here's to many more years' (well I would raise a glass if the sun was over the yardarm - whatever that means - so I'll just raise my porridge bowl instead.)

Claire said...

hi ann - i couldn't open your email on your profile page to send you my snailmail... can you send it to me at claire[dot]sauer[at]ntlworld[dot]com?
many thanks :)

Neet said...

Ooh you have been busy with the atc's and you have been using PP's as well. They look rather nice - scrummy in fact. As usual I have gone a bit overboard buying them and still doing so - now got a 20 tray to fill.
See you Saturday.
Hugs, Neet xx 16/19 whichever

Happy 3rd WOYWW Birthday! Great to be part of this wonderful fun group!
All is revealed on the blogs of Neet and I this week and also of the certain lady from Oz about our jaunt. Great fun all thanks to WOYWW!
Love all the creations on your desk... I've made 15 ATCs and will just do a drwa from regular contacts so hope you get one!
Lots of love JoZarty x and enjoy the Jubilee weekend... we're off to Brighton.

Annie said...

Happy WOYWW Anniversary Ann. You have been a very busy lady with stunning results. I was just saying to some other crafters that in my 20 years of crafting I have never made an ATC, so I will have to give it a go. TFS Crafty Hugs......Annie :)

Lynn Holland said...

Hi Neighbour

I'm interested in those Pan Pastels but I guess I already have enough colouring stuff, hehe, at the moment. And I can't go anywhere without at least having pen and paper. Happy 3rd Anniversary WOYWW!

Hi there Ann - Thanks so much for popping over and well isn't this lovely sharing not just fact we have met some weeks back abut also looking at one another's crafty space and must confess I am a shade of green I think.. like so much the look of pan pastels funny, the thing you think you dont need become the things you want - not sure it is good for me, wanting them not with my lack of organisation and space etc.. but have you visited Eileen's blog she does great things with those pan pastel:

http://eileenscraftyzone.blogspot.com.au/

how many did you get? ... happy 3rd birthday of WOYWW! thanks for sharing, Shaz in Oz. x #30

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I'm tickled I got to "meet" you through this wild and fun blog hop we take each week. Those pan pastels look like they would be fun to turn into backgrounds. I hear they are lovely and smooth out with a touch of your finger. Happy 3rd WOYWW Anniversary from #2.

Angie said...

What fantastic ATC's ... you have been hard at work ....or is it hard at play? I find it hard to believe that the barely 20, three years ago, is now sometimes nearly 200.Happy 3rd woyww birthday.

Princess Judy Palmer said...

I have never tried pan pastels. I have plenty of coloring mediums and am afraid I'd like them too much if I tried them and then I'd need more stuff! (which of course I always need more stuff, but you know...) Great pile of ATCs! I think I should have shown my pile in my post since I have a bunch but few takers so people would know I had more than the 4 shown. Nice selection of distress inks too. I'm rather new to them myself.

okienurse said...

If I am not too late in getting here I would love to swap an ATC with you. I will send my address by email and you will need to send me yours. Sorry I am late in getting around but life calls. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Have a great week. Vickie #178

Elizabeth said...

I've not used pan pastels yet but, having seen them demonstrated,they do look tempting. Lovely pile of ATCs on your desk - and the designs look fab. Participating in WOYWW is a lovely way to "meet" fellow crafters such as yourself and see what you are up each week. Happy belated 3rd WOYWW anniversary! Elizabeth x #94

Eliza said...

That is one busy desk for sure, I haven't tried the pan pastels and I think I have enough mediums to play with, so I won't go there. LOL

Looks like you have heaps of ATCs to trade that is for sure, happy swapping.

Morti said...

Oooh - lots of lovely ATCs! Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you - the Jubilee got in the way!!!

Would love to swap an ATC with you - send an email to the.bromilows@btinternet.com with your address and I'll get back to you!

Happy WOYWW, and thanks for stopping by...

Ali said...

Your desk looks lovely and creative. I'm another one that's splashed out on Pan Pastels recently but not had much chance to play with them yet. :)

Happy WOYWW anniversary!
