WooHOO! It's WOYWW's 5th Birthday today and we're doing an ATC swap to celebrate :o) If you haven't a clue what I'm on about, you should really pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground to check it out - you're missing all the fun!
WOYWW lets you have a snout around all kinds of workdesks all over the world - they may be organised or messy, pretty or businesslike, productive or "resting", but each one is unique and full of character and creativity. It's fascinating to see what everyone has been doing and have a virtual rummage through their stash - and it's fun to show the world what you've been up to as well.
Without further waffle, here's mine this morning ...
... not much going on yet, but plenty of potential! On the left is my newly-organised store of scraps - I've promised myself to use them up, so they've been sorted into colours and now live in this box next to my desk, ready to be raided. So, the plan is that every time I start a new project, I will go through this box first to see what I can use up. It's working well so far - the box you see on my desk contains the kit I've been putting together ready for Refresh Your Craft & Soul (a free blog event over at Jennifer Grace Creates) and I haven't put any new patterned papers in there at all ... yet :o)
To the right of the pizza box are the two ATCs I managed to make - I know some people have made loads and are swapping all over the place and I wish I had done that, but I just didn't get started in time. I have the one for whoever turns out to be my swap partner when I link up over at Julia's place and the spare one is going to Helen - I love watching Helen's videos on YouTube, she's a very creative lady, so it will be very exciting to get one of her ATCs in the post!
Now I just need to find out what you're supposed to put on the back of ATCs ... hmmm, I think Mary Anne put some free printables on her blog which would be perfect :o)
Thanks for coming over today - Happy Birthday WOYWWers everywhere, and big thank you to Julia for bringing us all together!

and I am still trying to visit for last week! Your box of color filed scraps is a great idea. Always good to use up the scraps!
Blessings and hugs,
