Hey everyone,
It's Wednesday again and time for a special WOYWW post today, because it's the 7th Anniversary and there's an ATC swap for anyone who wants to take part (if you don't want to do an ATC swap you can still join the linky party though) - the lovely LLJ is hosting while Julia's away so just nip over to her Fabric Frenzy blog and check it out.
I've made six ATCs all ready to swap AND I've already received a gorgeous one from Nikki which I'll show in a minute but first things first - my SHAMEFULLY MESSY DESK (I'm blushing here) ...
It's pretty bad isn't it? I sort of tidied a few days ago, but it's back to the "shovel it all to the back to make room to play" stage again already. And you should see rest of the room .... no, actually, you definitely shouldn't! :o)
In amongst all of that, if you were to zoom into the slightly clearer space at the front, you would see the beginnings of a paper tassel I've been working on ...
There are loads of tutorials on YT for these and I thought they'd be another great way to use up some of the piles of scraps and stuff I have stashed away and turn them into something pretty - if it works out I'll do another post later.
Now I want to show you the gorgeous ATC created by Nikki which arrived yesterday - I can't believe we only agreed to swap a few days ago and here it is all the way from Canada already ...
The light's a bit drab here this morning, so this pic doesn't really do justice to the lovely vivid colours, but you can see all the stamping and embossing in the background and just look at that cute little birdy! I love it. Nikki made a beautiful card and envelope as well ...
And finally, here is my ATC design for this year ...
I've arranged to swap with a few other deskers already, but I have one left to go to my swapee (that really should be a word!) - so I'm of to link up now and find out who that might be woohoo!!
Thanks for popping in to say hello, see you again soon :o)

PS Superfluous Linky has been removed....bit like a Brazilian....
Oh what a lovely ATC all the way from Canada! Yours is lovely too. We had agreed earlier to swap, so yours is ready to send.
I am determined to visit everyone. I have dedicated today to WOYWW. (a freezer meal for hubby I'm afraid!)
Happy 7th WOYWW anniversary

In the meantime I love those atc's you got from Nikki, she must have been busy with those and the badges.
Your desk is not untidy, not in my eyes anyhow - maybe because mine looks like that permanently.
Hugs, Neet xx

Have a great day.

The paper tassel is wonderful. I think it's a great way to use your excess scraps. I have a crush on your ATC. It is understated, yet romantically delicate and feminine. Happy 7th Anniversary from # 5.
