 All these ATCs are ready in their envelopes [some have already been posted] but I still have a few more up for grabs if you'd like a little hug from me :-)  Just email me your details to ....... wipso@toucansurf.com........and we can swap  :-)

......and on my desk today is......

.....wait for it.....

.....some Dumfing!!!!!!  Yes I'm actually being creative.  :-) :-)

It's months and months  since I felt creative....mainly because all my creative materials are tucked away in a box or 20 ready for the ?????move????  I felt the need to dumf!!!  I've rummaged through some of my stash and found just enough materials to play with and was totally lost in creativeness for several hours [no twins this week as it's half term hols here so was determined to use my time well].  What wonderful therapy it was too....now all I need to do is the machine embroidery on it all and maybe a few tiny beads and who knows there just might be a set of cards to show you soon.

Well folks, that's it from me for today.  Short and sweet just how the boss likes it.  I want to get round a few desks now so will love you and leave you.  Have a wonderful day celebrating our amazing blogging bunch.

Hugs,
Annie x

    Happy 5th. I'm glad you were able to get creative. That's lovely dumfing work you have there. I'm glad yours came with hugs. I guess I should have sent a few hugs your way, since you need them probably more than I right now (grin). Happy WOYWW from #22. Wow, I've NEVER been that low on the post before (grin).

    Oh Annie - what a lot of atc's you have done - puts me to shame. Glad my name is up there and hope yours arrives today.
    Think I need a dumfing lesson - ages since I did any so I think i should make a list and work through it of things I intend to do.
    Hugs and Happy WOYWW 5th birthday - Neet 11

    Hi Annie,
    Hehe, I'm already on your list to swap ATCs, AND, as your name is next after mine, (on Julia's list), I will now send you two ATCs! But I don't think I have your address, although I think I might have your sister's? Oh dear, I really must get my act together ASAP!
    Happy WOYWW Anniversary!

    Firstly, I want to say thank you so much for my lovely ATC which arrived this morning. I really love my little quilted hug and the card that came with it. I love seeing the very different ways in which everyone crafts. that is what makes this group of deskers so special. I hope your move goes well from now on and is completed very soon. xx Maggie#49

    It is tricky when your supplies are packed. I'm slowly unpacking mine after years in storage. If you can look at it as a challenge to your creativity it won't make you miss your stash less, but it might help you make a few little things.

    Thank you for stopping by and visiting. I feel I know you even though I guess most people would say I don't.

    Happy WOYWW,
