It's Wednesday! Time to sneak a peak at everyone's desk. The best part is you aren't going to be called a busy-body. You are actually encouraged to snoop! How great is that!?! If you haven't played before, don't be shy, jump over to
Jan's to link up this week. (Usually we're hosted by
Julia, who we hope is recovering well after her surgery yesterday.)
OK, you want to see my desk.
Quite the mess, I know. A layout in progess on the bottom right a stack of bills and papers to be gone through. The working stack of papers and notions are on the left. In that mess you can also spy a bit of my ATCs.
These were my first EVER ATCs. I know they are rather simple as I got the hang of it. But they are quickly addicting!
I then made a shabby chic version to send to my "*" friend. I'll actually be mailing.
I actually have *Cindy A's, Kelly H's, and Lynne M's left to go out. Living in a small town, our post is only open a couple of hours a day, and with the holiday and our life schedules, Friday will be the first day for the errand.
Is it Cra-zy that I have already come up with a concept for next years swap??? Plus several others. I could see these little pieces taking over my life. Good thing I really don't have any time. That's it for me. Off to see some desks.
Woyww atc's are the only ones I make and I have to agree they can become quite addictive. I look back over the 6 years I have been swapping and I have such a wonderful collection. Have a lovely week.

Hi Lisa, at least if you make notes- and don't forget where you put them- you'll be ahead next year! I keep saying I will make more ATC's, but I only ever seem to get around to it for our swap. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #18 xx

A messy desk is a great sign of activity, your cards are great, thanks for sharing. Donna #6
ReplyDeleteYour ATC's are lovely and the pink one is especially gorgeous - I love that butterfly! Like you this was my first swap and I found it quite addictive making them and I really enjoyed getting 'proper' mail through the letter box instead of electronically!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by mine and I hope you have a great week,
Diana #29
Thank you for visiting. Oh your desk is lovingly busy. But those bills.... oh dear, they have to be seen to too.
ReplyDeleteI love the shabby chic ATC. I can imagingçe they are addictive. This is the first time I've made ATCs.
Have a good week,
Happy WOYWW,
Lisca
I do like a bit of forward planning!! I'll tell Julia that you're planning next year's ATC design when I eventually get to see her...she'll love that!!
ReplyDeleteYour designs are really lovely and you can tell you enjoyed the process. I'm not a paper crafter, so mine were very straightforward - I.e. Plain. Lol
Hugs, LLJ xxxx
that's a busy desk, I love your work :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE a messy desk. Very nice ATC's. They don't look like a first timers. You're a pro.

Your desk looks wonderfully creative. I really enjoyed the ATC swap too. Mine were pretty simple too. I haven't made them before. I think it was a fun thing to do. There are so many talented people out here and we all know they were made with love and we'll treasure them.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a GREAT week!

Meant to add we were about 1 1/2 from you on Monday. We went to Ludington to look at Lighthouses!
DeleteOh dear, sounds as if you have the bug! The bug that means you make lots of tiny works of art called ATC's. You enjoy making them as long as you can, it is great fun swapping them with others, before long you will have a huge collection so keep going.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet 14 xx
Hello your desk looks like you have been having a great party playing. Your ATC are so beautiful, you have done a great job. Thanks for visiting my blog earlier and have a wonderful week. Hugs~Anne L#4
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for visiting. I love the ATC's you made, they do get addictive..I made my first ever ones 3 years ago for WOYWW. I skipped this year, work was making me crazy, too crazy to get organised LOL. I am fascinated - where do you live? My post office think I actually work there LOL. Cx #7
ReplyDeleteWent into Sutton yesterday to get my son some smart clothes for his work experience week in July so didn't get around to replying to any WOYWW posts at all! Your shabby Chic ATC is simply adorable, glad I could get a big piccy when I clicked on it too - delightful. Happy belated WOYWW BJ#32
ReplyDeleteOur desks look alike! Mine is in the breakfast room, right in everyone's way :) Your ATCs are lovely! The recipients will be so happy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ATCs. Can't wait to receive mine. I live ruraly so I don't go to town every day - thus yours going postal on Friday as well.
ReplyDeletere: you comment on my blog.. I have to be organized or I can't accomplish anything. Silly OCD!
Any time you want to swap ATCs just let me know. Another addiction once you do them... altered CDs. Creative Blessings! Kelly #46
Oh Lisa - that really made me chuckle! The thought of you sitting there this weekend making next year's ATC!!! Good one, though - will save time next April.
ReplyDeleteYour ATCs are lovely - nothing too simple about them at all - well done.
Thanks for already visiting - sorry to be late coming round - hubby and I spent yesterday on the Wirral visiting with family - our grandson has to attend Clatterbridge in 2 weeks for radiotherapy, and yesterday was his pre-treatment appointment. The family's verdict was that the staff are great and it didn't feel like a hospital!
Take care. God bless.

Lisa, I love your ATCs, especially the butterfly one, very well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my desk, sorry I'm a bit tardy getting back, packing up to go away for 5 months takes a lot of time.
Chris #40
The ATCs are lovely, I especially like the blue Chaplin style one. Gorgeous work.
ReplyDeleteCreating ATCs is indeed addicting! I know all about that... I love yours! Happy (belated) woyww. Hug from Holland, Marit #45
ReplyDeleteI love that butterfly card.
ReplyDeleteahhh loving your crafty space Lisa :D a bit late sorry...

ReplyDeleteThank you for your birthday wishes at that you stopped by my place earlier ♥ Love that creative chaos on your desk and the wonderful ATC's. I just can't believe that they are your first. Wonderful! So many talented artists here!
ReplyDeleteTake care
Michelle ♥
How wonderful that you've discovered ATCs! I used to do a lot of them and trade them over at atcforall.com. I want to go back to doing them. They are such fun, aren't they? Good job on your first ones. Happy WOYWW!
