468 - WOYWW's 9th Anniversary

Well, it is the 9th anniversary for WOYWW - what an achievement Julia!!  Nine years of fun and friendship.  Nine years of sharing, or baring, our desks.  Nine years of making friends with people in various parts of the world - not necessarily your own country but in all the corners of the earth in some cases.

Back in January when I attended Creativation (formerly CHA) I met up with Suzi Bentz who I first knew from here many years ago, it was lovely to renew our friendship.  Some old friends are not on here regularly but pop in from time to time and it is always lovely to see them again.  Time is no barrier, there is still the same friendliness between all who have graced the hallows of WOYWW.

Now, after waxing lyrically I will get to the nitty gritty and show you my desk.


Went to see a friend at weekend who lives up north so took a little kind of crafting kit with me, it is buried somewhere under this lot.  The tiny die cutting machine and dies were from last week when I was using them to cut out number nines for my atc's.  A last minute production took place yesterday for something to do with them and I found I was actually one short - I had forgotten my PIF!  Not to worry, they have been taken care of, wonder who it will be?

As for my atc's, well I cannot show them to you yet until they have been received and I am not showing you the glorious one from Nikki in Canada until next week - mind you I am bursting to do as I love it - so colourful!

Will share a photo of my friend Lorraine and I at the Craft Club on Saturday when we did some 'one stroke painting' with Pat who had the most glorious samples.  Sorry, I am not showing you my attempts, hope to get better as time goes on.


As I had to attend the Club and not watch the wedding I thought I would enjoy myself so I bought two masks, one each for us and Lorraine brought her iPad so we could watch the wedding, or at least see the gown.  Glad I did not miss out - but then I went home to watch it all whilst 'himself' watched the Cup Final.  Satisfaction all around.

I was glued to the wedding all day... glad you got to see it later. Your desk looks much like i've seen it over the last 9 years, post "trip" ha ha!! Happy WOYWW!! Helen #?

can't remember what I wrote in my first comment so not sure what confused you...sorry!!

Hi Neet,
Looks like I send to you, although it's because someone, probably Julia linked me. Then I came back to the computer and linked myself before I noticed I'd been linked. DUH. So, you do not send to me, but I send to you and you send to the person after my second link. Confused? Me too.

It took me awhile to find your profile and, like me, you don't display your e-mail address. Let me know how to get ahold of you, please.

Glad you got to see the wedding as well as go to the craft club :) Nick & I decided to visit Arley Hall - wonderfully quiet for a sunny Saturday haha xx

OH Crap, Neet. Julia erased my name (the one above yours) and now you send to me. I send to Sarah, the ONE person I can't contact because of her G+ only comments.

Happy 9th Anniversary to you. I'm hoping to pop round to visit everyone this week....depending what work comes through my door of course.
I really enjoyed the Royal wedding too.
Here's hoping we can all enjoy many more happy years of fun and friendship.

Happy 9TH WOYWW Neet - your words are wise and beautiful, this is an awesome place, may it continue for many more years to come! I thoroughly enjoyed the wedding too, thought The Dress was stunning and how happy Harry looked, so lovely to see. I've just put my ATCs in the post so you should be getting one soon!

Lovely...didnt see any masks, what fun they were! Gorgeous wedding wasnt it. I had ATC from Nikki too, it’s a blinder! Very glad that the deadline got you going, I too had to go back and make a couple more!!

Monica said...

How the years fly! I do not participate in the ATC as I hate having to mail things and deal with the post office. All my old friends have retired and it is all young sosur faced people doing a government job. This year has been the medical year so I am behind. Not serious medical just the little stuff that eats up time and energy. So my bitch for today enda and I will continue to everyone's postings. JUst love this site.

Hi Neet, sorry for my late arrival. Happy 9th Anniversary. What fun to craft with friends, I so wish I had more of mine interested in such things or even a club near to have a play day with others occasionally. Fun Wedding pose, it was a good day!
Thanks for sharing WOYWW wishing many more years to come.
