WOYWW 128 and Holocaust Butterflies

I know I have done several posts on here about the butterflies we made at Victoria Stampers but I am so chuffed that we made a contribution to the appeal.  They are finally winging their way to Houston, Texas today.  Although I did not take photographs of them on my desk but on the dining room table I am including them in this post and hope some of you will click on the button on the right hand side of my page and send some off yourself.

How many do you think we sent?  Here they all are on the table:


and in the box ready to go
(I put a matchbox at the side to give you an idea of the size)


The group came up with lots of ideas - from folding to embossing


... from acetate to ...


Parchment ... to mirror card


and from there to using leaves and flowers.


We varied in size from large to small ...


... and we sent a total of X butterflies.  Can you guess how many?  Only Victoria Stampers Club Members know (although it has changed a bit as I did a few more) so please don't spoil the fun, sorry you are excluded,  - the person nearest to the correct amount by noon on Saturday will receive a small prize.  Nothing wonderful but a prize nevertheless.

Now after all of that this is my desk as it stands today for all you WOYWW'ers out there - yes, I have tidied up and started my "C" cards.


and found this box of goodies this morning


Ho Ho Ho Crimbo is Coming!

Dash over to The Stamping Ground to see what others have on their desks and what Boss WOYWW'er, Julie has to offer for us this Wednesday.
