Today is the day we leave an asterisk beside our names if we are sharing an ATC. I cannot forget to leave my asterisk. It is also the day that WOYWW turns 14, a milestone that could only be made possible by our head desker and all around caring and thoughtful host, Julia at Stamping Ground.
The observant viewer will notice I have changed the red rosin paper on my work table. Although I am still using only one arm, I managed to move everything, albeit, extremely slowly. You can also see my PIF ATC is ready to go, too. I just finished it Monday afternoon, right before I changed the rosin paper. I made a total of four ATCs all exactly the same. One is already in my mailbox for Julia, one goes to my PIF partner, one I am keeping (something I have not done in the past), and one is a spare in case my original gets lost in the ether (or in the postal system).
Further, note this is where Wendy lives unless she is on some adventure with me.
I truly believe everyone who was here from Julia's last Wednesday is familiar with What's On Your Workdesk WENDY! Wendy was born on the first anniversary of WOYWW 13 years ago. It's the first time I stamped on fabric and the first (and only) time I created an art doll. The letters on the skirt were stenciled.
I took another photo because I wanted to show the middle button came from Caro for our 10th anniversary. The other two, as well as the wooden card holder were made by and came from our head desker, Julia.
I suspect many of you were searching for the rocking horse and here it is, a clear stamp. You can tell I've used it and not gotten the image back on exactly right.
In addition to Wendy, to honor WOYWW's first anniversary, I created this sewing machine cover from a used pillowcase. It was the first time I used stencils and paint on fabric.I used to ask that you leave your number if you are coming from Julia's, but we have all been around the block enough times I don't need to say that anymore. Now let's head over to Julia's and let the fun and the party begin.

Have a fun anniversary! Hugs, Valerie
happy WOYWW and it's good to see Wendy again! I dug out my badges too. Helen #5
Good to see all the different badges and Wendy of course. Hope the arm is improving. Happy anniversary. Stay safe. Sarah #4
How I love your creativity. And how I hope your poor arm and shoulder is improving.
Yikes. I am signing in to Google and letting them track me for this very special week of WOYWW. I wanted to capitalize on that to let you know hoe much I enjoy the AJJ - when I am in art journal mode. That hasn't been for a while but I trust I will get back to it at some point. It is really lovely to see the blast from the past that is Wendy. I have a few backward looking things as well. Gosh, 14 years certainly creates a ton of memories! I may never comment but you should know I do check you out every time you post for WOYWW!
Happy 14th Anniversary WOYWW

🥰🥳Happy 14th WOYWW ❤️ Elizabeth and Wendy ( I'm in love with her) So sorry about your arm, sending feel better wishes ⭐️ your way as I type 🤗 your post is a joy to read and to see what you've created for WOYWW 🥰✨️ Lots of love and hugs Tracy #11 xxxx
Happy 14th! Thank you for your lovely words and for being here, it doesn’t actually seem so long since we met and you made the sewing machine cover, if I didn’t know I’d say it’s just a handful of years at most! Wendy looks as good as ever, so she belies the years too! Yours is the second desk with fresh covering today, I’m beginning to get surface envy! It does look so big and inviting when there’s no markings yet! I hope you go on enjoying every second of being a blogger, finding your blog and seeing your art is a constant enrichment for me.
How wonderful, Elizabeth, to have such original and early artefacts of WOYWW! Your Wendy is wonderful! Just to confirm, please send your address to me at Lmcollis@icloud (dot) com and your ATC will be winging its way to you. I always think of you whenever we go up through the Kent Weald. There’s a rocking horse manufacturer, Stephensons, at Bethersden, with a rocking horse on its roof.
They’re here. https://www.stevensonbros.com/
Have a wonderful WOYWW ivory anniversary

How wonderful to see all the memories! I shall sort a new box out for my new collection and, no doubt, go through my memories . . . . happy days.
Great to see you here, take care

I loved reading your post. I am glad to be well enough to join in on this 14th Anniversary. Stay well. Kind regards from
Pat
...ah, to have a dedicated work area!
Your desk looks very orderly! I like your doll. It has been a long time since I made an entire doll including the head, though I have dressed a few dolls in my time, notably most of those in my dollhouses. Good luck with getting your arm back inshape!
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
love your WOYWW display! happy 14th!
Looks good
I didn't realize anybody was still sharing ATCs. Fun!
I'm late in the day and am only just getting around the blogs after a busy morning with little Louie and work.
Happy 14th Anniversary.....here's to many more happy years of fun and friendship.
Hugs,
Annie x #9
Lovely to see Wendy again! Happy WOYWW anniversary. Here's to friendship spanning across the web. Take care of yourself. With love & God Bless, Caro xx (#16)
Happy anniversary! Loving the sewing machine cover that you made, the stencilling worked beautifully 😊. I hope you're arm is on the mend too. Take care and happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
My poor JB cannot use one arm. It is tricky. Good luck.
Lovely post.
Yes it is a Happy Anniversary- well done for the desk tidy up- good to see Wendy! I'm obviously on a massive catch up-we'll have to stop going out, hugs, Chrisx #26 :-)
I never got involved with WOYWW, but it seems like a great group. And I'm glad you shared Wendy again. But I still can't get over how neat and clean your desk is. Mine would drive you crazy I bet. Hope it was a great Wednesday. hugs-Erika
Loving your WOYWW doll and badges, I just got another one from Julia so I guess you'll have an addition soon. Although mine says 21 of 25 and there are 27 entries this week eeeeeekkkk I can see Julia frantically making some more....
Oh don't forget I get a lot of my collage background from you when I did the altered book, you taught me so much and I am eternally grateful.
Happy anniversary Hugs BJ#18
I always love seeing the work table photos. Yours is always different from week to week (if I showed mine it would almost always look the same!)
Hello Elizabeth, I'm late but just wanted to say happy WOYWW 14. I really enjoyed reading your post and learning all about the beautiful WOYWW Wendy. Hope you will soon be two handed again soon. Meow from Silver to Bleubeard. Have a grea week. Elizabeth x #27
Hello. Thank you for visiting me. Sorry I am late. Not sure what has happened to your arm but do hope it will soon be better. After injuring my side I am bow dealing with a very painful shoulder.
Anyway Happy Anniversary. I'm not sure I remember Wendy, even though I've been on WOYWW for many years. Take care Anne x 20
Have fun!
Happy anniversary with WOYWW. I do love your sewing machine cover. Hope all is well with you.
Loving all your WOYWW items - especially Wendy!
Happy 14h! Susan #21
P.S. I was hoping my number #21 would be a factor of 728, but no...
ooh so creative again (great upcycling for the machine cover too). Love that you still use the stamp scrubbers you mentioned too (I still use mine, they just work fine and are cheap!)
Thanks for visiting my desk already
