WOYWW - Celebrating the 6th Anniversary

SIX YEARS!


AMAZING!!!

Congratulations Julia for keeping What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday going for soooo long :) 

We wouldn't be doing it without you!

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that all you do to keep WOYWW going is much appreciated xxx

Many friendships have been made and much fun has been had by so many Deskers and all down to one very brilliant idea to get us communicating over our desks, spreading the crafting love worldwide. Who would have thought it possible six years ago that we would still be chatting away like this today :) 

THANKS JULIA!


My desk today! As you can see I've been playing Scrabble :) Well, I had to do something to mark the occasion, especially as, unfortunately, this year I'm unable to join in the exchange of ATCs. Hopefully, I'll be able to join in next year for the seventh anniversary celebrations! 

The eagle-eyed will have no doubt spotted my new toy, Sapphire ... she's so darned cute :) And I'm sure some of you will be wondering why I needed yet another die-cutting machine! Spotted it on C&C TV, sat on my hands through several demonstrations, and then succumbed. Justifications, if any were needed, I found aplenty. It's just the right size for all those tiny dies I use so much - like the butterflies and the deer lying out on the desk today. It's small enough that it can be put to good use whilst wasting time watching TV! And, best of all, it's such a handy size that it's no longer a chore to get it out, unlike the GC or even the Cuttlebug, to use up tiny snippets of card, hence those butterflies and the pile of purple scraps on the left there.

So lovely deskers, happy sixth bloggaversary and have a wonderful day. Here's to many more happy years of blogging and many more special friendships being made.

Leave me a little hello comment to let me know you've visited, please, and I will be sure to return the compliment as soon as I'm able. In fact, I'm off right now to a bit of blog hopping before lunch :)

Happy WOYWW,

Lol, love your Scrabble tribute!! Happy 6th WOYWW, it's been fab to get to know you and meet you in the flesh as well....just think, had it not been for Julia and her shenanigans, we'd never have met!
I think you'll get a lot of use out of that little machine..and then the expense is justified. :-)
Hugs, LLJ 13 xxxx

no justfication needed at all i just brought the A4 big shot just because i could then cut everything for a project in one go {how lazy am i?} but i still kept my normal big shot lol i wish i still had my sizzix side kick i am always using tiny dies and it would be perfect for then!
Happy 6th Anniversary WOYWW-er!

Bleubeard could not WAIT to stop by and say meow (Hi in cat words) to Bonnie. And of course, I love the scrabble tribute. Were it not for Julia, we would never have "met." The internet has brought a whole new world of fun to us, hasn't it? And Julia's blog has been the icing on the cake, so to speak.

Happy, happy 6th WOYWW anniversary from #1.

Julia Dunnit said...

Love the scrabble tiles! And the Sapphire..I could easily be tempted I must say. So portable! Meeting Deskers has been the highlight for me, and you and The Mangement feature strongly in the best days out memory sheet!

Kristiina said...

Never even heard of such a diecut machine! It was hard enough getting hold of a cuttlebug, seems like every shop in Finland stocks the bigshot and I wanted a foldable one. Wish you a great woywwing craft year :)

Love that scrabble word take on Julia's sixth!! Clever. Owls were big here in Oz for a while, but not so much now. I am always a bit behind the fashion! I love toys, and that cute die cutting machine...well at our age no need to justify a purchase that makes us happy!!
Thanks for your visit.

Very clever of you to spell a message out with Scrabble tiles - looks good.
Thanks for your visit earlier and Happy Anniversary - Hugs, Neet xx

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Lovely idea with the scrabble letters. A small cutting machine is a must so I shouldn't bother if you have other machines. Have a great woyww anniversary week and happy crafting, Angela x 37

I started reading your blog earlier and then got sidetracked by your talking about the Sapphire and went off to look at it. I think I will stick to what I have, the Cuttlebug and the EBosser. Hope you enjoy playing with your new toy. xxx Maggie #8
