I'm getting ready. It's nearly time.
I've even got a clean room, which I'll show more of Thursday and Friday.
I make my own backgrounds for ATCs because I don't own one of those cute stamps. I'm looking forward to celebrating the 3rd anniversary of WOYWW next week with Julia at Stamping Ground and all my WOYWW friends.This will be my third, too, although I only joined on May 14, 2010, not too long before the 1st Anniversary. BTW, when I joined there were ONLY 80 players that week. How times have changed. Now I doubt anyone (except possibly Julia) can get around to everyone, because there were 172 participants last week.
I know you really came to see this week's rocking horse, so here it is, a cute little pin. Please don't forget to leave your number you got from Julia's link list, so I can find you and say "hi.".

I did wonder about the back, not being an ATC pro. Then my printer gave up the ghost, so unless by some miracle I get the new one sharpish, it'll be a handwritten scrawl only!
ReplyDeleteHappy early woyww.
Mary Anne
I'll have to handwrite the back of mine too, no printer for me! I can't wait to see what everyone makes!! Love your sewing machine cover and am looking forward to seeing the results from all your vigorous cleaning! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

ReplyDeleteSandra @57
You are so organised! I have done a very few ATC's but not stamped my backs yet (I do have a stamp if I can find it....!!) The rocking horse pin is so cute..

ReplyDeleteNeil #70
Love the sewing machine cover and the rocking horse is just too cute.
ReplyDeleteWill have to get my butt in gear and join in the next ATC round
Emily #71
Love your little pin. I've been caught by the ATC bug too and have really enjoyed being creative.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Your room looks fantastic and so does the sewing machine cover.
ReplyDeleteNo stamps in this house either. But I am going to a friends on Saturday for a play day with stamps as I have never got into them. I am looking forward to it.

One I made earlier today.
Nice to see you over with the Doodly birds x
The dinky rocking horse is so cute. Every time we go off to Rachel House I think of you because there are 2 huge rocking horses in the stairwell & reception area.
ReplyDeleteneed to get my finger out for the ATC swap
caroline #31
cute little rocking horse pin, as for the ATC swap not sure if I can enter. Can you believe I have a fear of ATC's because of something someone said to me once. I have tried so many times to do then and just panic.

Crikey Elizabeth, thats a pile of ATCs you are making, I haven't started yet. I used to make my own ATC labels, set up a table in 'Word' and just changed to details each month, now I just handwrite the backs.
ReplyDeleteAnn B

Your space looks extremely organised and ready to go, go, go...
ReplyDeleteThat sewing machine cover is fantastic! And I adore that rocking horse.
The ATC's look a lot of work...and I haven't a clue how to do them so will just watch on in wonder ;D
Thanks for popping over to my place earlier.
Have fun and enjoy your desk hopping. Neesie #11
How lovely that you have been a part of WOYWW nearly since the start. I have only managed to get to everyone once but I have only being doing this for 3 months. Love the sewing machine cover, Julia will be delighted, I am sure. I do have a stamp for my ATC's but it does not have as much detail as yours. Happy WOYWW, Anne #18
ReplyDeleteYou are making most of us panic.....that certainly includes me! Must get started on my ATCs asap. You look so organised as usual there.
ReplyDeleteI've made the niches in my book and seem to be moving in fits and starts as time allows but will try to post about it soon before I'm off on my travels again. It's been extra busy of late.
love JoZarty x
I'm panicking!! I always have this feeling that...people are dreading being next to me, when there's lovely makes from your self out there!! I'll pop back later... those pictures won't load! Lovely and sunny here today and I MUST get out into the garden..it's becoming very over grown!! Have a crafty week! HAPPY WOYWW
ReplyDelete((Lyn))#55
ps....I can seen them now! Great cover, my x neighbour had a cover for her vacuum cleaner! IN the shape of a maid!!
ReplyDeleteYou're organised! I didn't think about the back, though will write my name blog name and date on in I expect, maybe email too! Great pics! Zo xx
ReplyDeleteLove your sewing machine cover!! How cool is that!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have a go at my ATC today, not done one in a while so inspiration might fail me!
Have some catch up tp do on my altered book as well. Seeing as the teenager is off out today I may just shut myself away upstairs and get crafting! perfect!
Happy WOYWW
Jackie x #98
Fabulous sewing machine cover!!! I've hand written on the back of my ATC's... mind you I only done 2 at the moment.. I was hoping Thursday evening I should get some more done!! work gets in the way of my crafting these days... Boo-hoo.. Hugs May x x x#30
ReplyDeleteGreat little horse pin, I thought he was part of your ATC for a minute there!
ReplyDeleteNo number from me, just visiting this week.

Hi, an impressively tidy work area, love the Rocking horse pin. I too love rocking horses have been creating children's/baby cards from my own template just recently.
ReplyDeleteKxoxo#54
Love the sewing machine cover. I assume you made it. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteBusy busy with ATCs, how many are you planning to make? 8|
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW Wednesday!!
Quickly to the next desk ;-)
Hugs Marleen #19
Wow, what a wonderful idea for the backs of the ATCs, however, I'll be handwriting on mine too. I'm not making too many anyway! Have a great week!
ReplyDelete#113
I am looking forward to this anniversary too - I can't wait! So glad to have "met" you!
ReplyDeleteI was also one of the first WOYWWers but now it has grown!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
I love. The woyww cover
ReplyDeleteI'll add to the admiration of the sewing machine cover. Looks like you are in an ATC trade. I belong to one where we do just one ATC a month, that's about my speed.
ReplyDeleteDarla
yup, time flies, I started just after the first birthday - and can the double figured linkies! - these days I use different methodologies to visit, and of course always return visitations....I made my ATCs in fear of notbeing ready so I can now sit back and relax...
ReplyDeletedx (sorry I forgot to check out my number - but you know where I live, and don't fret if you can't comment back, dxxx)
Loving the sewing machine cover!
ReplyDeleteI'm not making that many ATCs but I'd love to trade one of mine with you.
Laura 138
Just how many ATCs are you planning to make ... seems that you might just be making enough for the whole 100+ participants next week! I can't believe how many more WOYWWers there are now and I given up attempting to visit everyone - I just do my level best to pop in as many as possible each week and don't get in a tizz if you can't visit back either. BTW, I've cut out the ATC bases but that's as far as I've got so better get a wriggle on :) Hope you are having a great WOYWW, Elizabeth x #127
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of ATCs...what fun. I still have a thick album full from when I did it with a core group of bloggers! Enjoy!
ReplyDeletewow, such a lot of ATCs ... but I really just came to visit you! thanks so much E for that kind comment on my blog... you are so kind... I hope you like my new article, comes out on June 1st! just trying to make the cover sometime!! lol!!
ReplyDeleteGosh, you are organised! I'm not joining in as I simply haven't had time what with the events of the past couple of months. But I hope that you have fun :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #57 xx
I didn't join all that long ago and it was about 80 people in those days. How things have changed. I can't wait to do the ATCs too. I think it will be lots of fun. I like your sewing machine cover and your nice tidy space.
ReplyDeleteWell done you for getting prepared! Can't wait to see your next project in progress Mx
ReplyDeleteOh you are just so organised - I always leave things like this to the very last minute!
ReplyDeleteBernice
That pin is gorgeous! I can't believe how we have grown either, when I joined there was less than 100 people each week and now look at us!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW
That really is a cute little pin and that is a lovely cover for your sewing machine. Clever of you to make that - and with WOYWW on it.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet #25 xx (playing catch up as usual)
looking forward to seeing what you make for the swop next week. I have started a few. I cannot beleive you aare on lesson 8 of The AB course. I have a week off soon and hopefully I will catch up them
ReplyDeletejanet #47
Love the sewing machine cover! And have you got a new camera? Your pictures seem clearer than normal!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by....
I am totally fascinated by those rocking horses... have you ever said how many you own??? Your room looks fab as does the sewing machine cover... but so many covers for your ATCs - I was hoping to get away with one, for the person after me!!!
ReplyDeleteLove and light

You're very professional, I just wrote on the back of mine (oops).
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your rocking horse. Love the WOYWW cover in the background.
Have a great week.

Got to get going on mine, I am taking an ATC class on Friday, should get some good inspiration. Barb #121
ReplyDeleteSuch a neat work area!!! Love the cover on your sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteJeannie #75
Fabulous area. I have just found you Elizabeth and I now intend to stay. I would love to make an altered book, but is it ok just to follow your tutorial, I guess I should ask your permission first. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xxx
ReplyDelete#175...a newbie...what a tidy work space! Love your sewing machine cover!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your ATC, I am working on mine, have the backgrounds done. Now what else to do? #116
ReplyDeleteYes I have made some cute ATC's too - will enjoy sharing them next week. Have a good week. x Jo
ReplyDeleteI like that you create your own atc back; it makes it unique to you. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteOH Dear! How many did you make??? I made ONE.
ReplyDeleteNice clean space this (past)week. Sorry I'm just now stopping by!
See you again soon!
hugs!
