Hello Friends
Yes it is Me joining you from a not so sunny Wales today. I have a couple of days off from work so I thought I would share my desk with you today. I also had a very Special Desk Mate joined me yesterday so I am sharing photos of her sat at my desk too. In case you haven't been to my blog on a WOYWW Day click HERE for all the details.
So without further ado, here is my desk as it is right now....
That is the cover of my next project there waiting to be run through the Big Shot and the stamps are waiting to be stamped on the inside pages.
This is my Blogging Friend Kim who is currently over from the States visiting Wales and the South. Kim was my sender in the WOYWW Swap in 2011. We became good friends and when I knew her and her Hubby were coming to the UK I offered for them to come and stay for a few nights. We got on so well and it was sad to see them go yesterday.
But before Kim and her lovely Hubby went Kim just had to have a nosey in my Craft Room. Here she is looking through some of my Artistic Outpost stamps that I will be using later. We did raise a glass to you Julia to thank you for bringing us together!
Before I go I just want to share with you what I have done with my ATCs from this year's WOYWW PIF....
I used VOS K&Company paper for the main album and then white Snippets cardstock which I stamped for the tags. I will later on today write the blogger name and the blog site where each ATC came from. I may do the same for last year's now too!
That is is now. I look forward to seeing you throughout the day. Don't forget to leave a comment when you leave and join the rest of the Blog Hop HERE.

How lovely to have a special visitor! I thought for a moment that Parsnip had come over for a bit in Di's absence. It's always a joy to have a look at your beautiful attic - so much loveliness to behold! Look forward to seeing your next creations!
It's sad when your friends have to leave I felt like that the day I met Maureen and Sue P because we had had so much fun, your crafty attic is gorgeous! so much stash lol huggles hun Sue xxxx
Julia really does have a lot to answer for doesn't she? :-) So many friendships have blossomed from our WOYWW links. The world really is a smaller place. Thanks Julia :-)

I agree, Julia has a lot to answer for!! It is truly amazing how many new friendships have been made via WOYWW (I for one love the fact that I have made new crafty friends over the past 2-3 yrs). Love the ATC holder (I spy mine!!) and so glad you were able to meet up in person.

Sad for you that her visit is over already! That was so long in the planning! Great photos today and hope going back to work was not too stressful!

I do so love to see pics of blogging friends having a good time - looks like Kim was well taken with your craft space - am determined to join in the ATC space this coming year - have missed so much sharing of creativity - have a great week Hettie - happy WOYWW Mxx #72
How lovely that your blog buddy got to visit your wonderful country (Wales has always had such an 'exotic' sound to me ...would love to visit there myself! Cornwall too). It must have been so joyous for ya'll to meet face-to-face and enjoy some quality craft time. Thanks for allowing us to share it with you just a little. Your desk made me feel right at home, except it's still neater than what is in my room. Fantastic way to display all the stunning swap projects you've received too. TFS & Hugs
We haven't seen you here in a while, so it's good to have you back! How nice that you and Kim got on so well and she looks right at home at your craft desk! The book for your atc swap is great, too btw! Helen, 13
