WOYWW 520: Happy Anniversary!

Happy 10th Anniversary to WOYWW!  I can't believe that I discovered this loving community just over 9 years ago and took the plunge to join in just after the 1st anniversary. Don't know what I am talking about?  Then take a look at Julia's blog where she explains it much better than I can.

My desk is really rather empty this anniversary week - you can see my trusty mug of tea, my bullet journal and my mini photo printer as I am printing out photos to put into my journal.  The left of my desk is hiding the ATCs for the swap.  I am really sorry, but due to a crisis at home (my Gran is back in hospital and in a bad way) I can't remember everyone I agreed to swap ATCs with.  To make it simple, if you think I am swapping with you please can you let me know in the comments. Thank you!
As there is nothing crafty to show you I thought I would show my little keepsakes sat on top of my ink pads - mostly Harry Potter but also a Flying Scotsman Teddy and a hand knitted Octopus made by a friend. I am keeping it short and sweet this week, so have a great week everyone and I look forward to meeting some of you at the crop - not long now!
Love and God Bless,
Caro

P.S. Would there be any interest in the picture at the top of my blog today being turned into a magnet or badge for people?
P.P.S.  If anyone wants to use it for their blog then please go ahead! I assume you can download it from mine and add it to yours.

Yes to the badge idea!
So sorry to hear about your gran. There's nothing I can say except she is on my prayer list.
Not sure if you are making atc's for everyone at the Crop, or even if you will now be able to attend with your gran being so poorly.
Like your collection of cuddlies sitting on top of your inkpads, they must cheer you up when you look up at them.
Blessings, Neet 18 xx

Hi Caro! Hope your gran is ok. We've agreed to swap, but you're also my PIF, so I'm sending you an ATC anyway. If you find you need to be with your gran, don't worry about sending my ATC - you can do it later when you have time. I'm sending yours tomorrow. Happy anniversary! zsuzsa #26

Hi Caro, I'd love to swap if you still want to. I'm really late as I was forced to go out with friends today to drink coffee and eat scones.... I could hardly say no! but it has made me late getting round. Can you send me your address? I have a contact form on my blog if you could use that and then I can send you my address too. Wishing you a lovely woyww and a happy creative week with hugs, Angela x19X

Hi Caro,

Happy 10th WOYWW anniversary! So sorry to hear about your gran. I hope she makes a speedy recovery! Great idea for a badge. I'm taking some ATCs to the Crop, so will exchange there. Have a lovely week, Heather x #30

Shoshi said...

Hi Caro, I'm so sorry to hear about your Gran and hope things turn out OK. It's a worry, isn't it. Thank you for your visit and I'm so glad you enjoyed all the positives in my post this week. Thank you for your commiserations regarding my PIP application, and for your recommendation. I went to the CAB when I applied for DLA and they were very good. I have a friend who's recently done her PIP (she's blind and has other problems too) and she recommended another organisation for help too, and she's going to give me details. I'm using the CAB's online guide and a couple of other guides too, in the meantime, so at least I'll have something down to get advice on. I got my GP's letter this p.m. and the stoma nurse is going to write one, too.

Happy 10th anniversary WOYWW,
Shoshi #15

Lindart said...

glitterandglue said...

Hi Caro - Happy 10th anniversary - Couldn't comment yesterday as blogger wasn't letting me - bah humbug! - so am trying to get around a few today whilst at least google and blogger are working!!!
I'm so sorry your gran is so unwell again. May our Father God grant each one of you His peace as you go through this time.
A badge sounds a lot of fun! Like Neet, I would say yes please.
Looking forward to meeting you at the crop - not long now. I really must get myself into gear and do some making of ATCs in preparation!!!
Take care. God bless.

Happy WOYWW and thanks for visiting my desk

Cardarian said...

Hi Caro! First I would say I hope your Gran gets better! I love your WOYWW 10th anniversary badge and I would love one. I would also swap with you but hold on to swapping as I might come to the crop and we can swap in person! Thank you for visiting my blog!
Love and hugs

Julia Dunnit said...

Carl I am so sorry to be so late , it’s been a lovely 10th Anniversary party. Thank you for the offer of the picture, I shall lift it quite promptly! Am so sorry to read about Gran, it’s so hard, every little thing becomes such a hurdle for them once a little frailty creeps in. I love your HP dollies and friends, and my word, your desk looks super efficient! can’t wait for the weekend, fingers crossed all will be well for you to come out to play. Xxxxx

Mrs.D said...

Oh Caro, so sorry to hear about your gran, very worrying for you, will pray for her and you.
That badge is brilliant, have managed to get it on to my pc, but not sure how to get it on my blog, but Thank you for creating it.
I think I should be able to get to the crop, getting the right analgesics seems to be helping,
