Okay, the desk - link here to Julia's Stamping Ground to find the details.
Some inks, pitt pen, water brush, glue, some die cuts(will add to these) boxes to store brads and bits in and as you can see I am using up some scraps to punch out butterflies - you can also see the little critter that chewed up in the punch! I know she's not eight yet but her crafting is coming on and she has requested a journal like mine!!! I intend preparing some pages for her and there are stamps to go in along with some other bits and pieces.
Now - ATCs!
These are ones I received at the crop

These beautiful sewn ATCs from Annie and Jo
These arrived in the post too from Laura and Helen
I still have some to post I'm afraid as I see the last post will have gone again! If you have been promised an ATC you will get it - promise!!!
Now, before I go and because I know "The Boss" is away do you fancy a quick film review? Hubby and I went to see Maleficent today - in 3D - fortunately short enough not to give me headache and well worth it for the special effects! It is a really good film(this from someone who isn't really keen on Angelina Jolie), an interesting twist on the Sleeping Beauty story! The time just whizzed by!
Just as it has now, sorry I've gone on a bit!
Thanks for looking, Chris

Wow lots of great thing happen here on your desk. I love all the goodies for your granddaughter and those ATC oh man their just beautiful. I haven't done a ATC swap in so long. Maybe I should just create them just because. TFS AJ

Such a lovely display of atcs you've received, glad mine arrived once we finally worked out we'd missed doing it at crop!! Helen
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ATCs Chris and cards too! Thanks for the film review, I did wonder whether it would be worth seeing that film. Anne xx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to get all these ATC's from your crafty friends. Your desk is far tidier than mine is at the moment !!

Hi Chris. Glad you finally posted. You asked how I wrote the names on the photo and ATCs. I have a program called Photoshop. It's a very old program and was quite expensive when I had to buy it when I worked for a specific client. There have been numerous updates and even new programs, but I haven't been able to buy the updates and new programs, so I stay with the old one. It does everything I need it to, including a tool called "Text." I decide what color I want the text to be, then add the word any place on the photo (or scan). Hope that answers your question. BTW, I think there may be a few free programs similar to it on the web, but I haven't looked for years, so not sure.
ReplyDeleteA great collection of ATCs and the desk looks interesting, lots of fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting, Angela x @Felix the Crafty Cat #7
Wow! I am loving your arty header! Just such cool images and love the name pearshaped! And I see the pear, too. So interesting all by itself! :) Your desk has interesting things on it, some that are on mine too. You did get some interesting ATCs. Thanks for the peek at everything! #17
ReplyDeleteI have seen so many gorgeous ATCs! Love seeing everyone's work in celebration of the anniversary! Happy WOYWW!

That's a fab collection of ATCs you've received. Glad to hear your son is on the mend. That's so sweet that little E wants a journal like yours, I'm sure she'll love all the bits n bobs x x
ReplyDeleteHello! I've got an ATC here with your name on it to add to your already mighty collection - please would you let me know your address so I can post it? My email is diane_bromilow72 at btinternet.com
ReplyDeleteI'd say giving your granddaughter the gift of creative tools and the bond of crafting is about as great a gift as you can give ; D. Lovely ATCs you have there. Happy WOYWW! #5
ReplyDeleteAh that movie is a "maybe" for DD so nice to hear a good review :) What a great gift idea too. Your GD will surely love it but the best is time spent crafting with you. Enjoy....
ReplyDeleteHappy no-Linky WOYWW! (except I checked again and there it is!)

What a huge collection of ATC keepsakes you have there! And it's lovely that you can encourage your GD to follow in your crafty footsteps. Have a good week, Chris # 10
ReplyDeleteLove all the ATCs, and the craft bag idea.
ReplyDeleteChris - it's just occured to me that I never said a big big thank you for tthe dumfy bits and bobs etc - so lovely and we will enjoy using it all. You are a gem! x Jo
ReplyDeleteGlad your son is a lot better and the little grandee is back with him.

How wonderful to see you getting your granddaughter crafting ... I'd not knit or crochet if it were not for my grandmother! Aren't all the ATC's from the anniversary just wonderful to have ... I'd never ATC'd before so have found it all quite fascinating and love my collection of everyone's little pieces of art. Thanks for popping by my blog this week - it was lovely having you visit even though you found me lying in a darkened room with a cold cloth on my forehead after doing battle with those Northern Lights - I doubt my stamps will ever come out of the box again, but you never know! Love Debbie xxx
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your son is on his way back to full health... and it looks like you're gathering up some lovely bits and bobs for your granddaughter to get busy with!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ATCs from the crop and swap - how lovely to get so much happy mail. Glad to hear you enjoyed Maleficent - I do love a good faerie tale (though, like you, I don' t love Jolie).

All the ATCs are gorgeous sorry I missed this year, well next year..I was wondering how that film was now I mist go see it, I love fairy tales but wasn't sure about Angelina, thanks for sharing hope you have a wonderful weekend, ((( BIG HUGS )))...
ReplyDeletegreat looking ATC's I am sure your grandaughter will love the goodie bag. Glad your son is better. I haven't been able to post on Wednesdays for a while and I have missed it! Sorry I am so late getting around! Thanks for sharing. Vickie #62
ReplyDeleteI am so late getting round this week. You have a lovely lot of ATCs on your desk. It is amazing what a tremendous variety there is among us all. Hope to see you again tomorrow. xx Maggie
ReplyDeleteSorry Chris, didn't realise your son had been unwell. Hope he gets back to good health soon.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you can't get to the caravan yet as you are looking after him.
Sorry, been absent from blog land for a while and have missed so much.
Love Sue x
The benefit of popping by late is that I get to see all your other wonderful projects. Love the frame and who doesn't need fairy's in the garden? Keep smiling and creating
