I devised a really clever way of making sure that I sent an ATC to those that had been promised one. A list.
All of these came little gifts are works of art and I am not yet over looking and admiring them - my word, you Deskers are hugely clever.
THANK YOU. You have no idea how much I appreciate and enjoy your art.
So now, show and tell time..my desk outdoor or indoor is actually a joinery bench this week....so show me what's on yours, inspire me huh!
Put WOYWW in your blog post title, link here and visiting is enabled. Easy.

Wow...That's one nice collection of ATC's you have. Happy crafting #8
Oh WOW look at all the gorgeous ATCs! I'll have to come back later and really study the pics. I'm just in awe over the ones I've received so far. And I'm so thrilled to be considered a "desker"! Have a wonderful week Julia! Hugs Nan #9 or maybe #8
Oh my! I'm not used to signing in with so few names ahead of me lol. Such gorgeous ATCs you've received! I'm so impressed you are learning joinery! And I can't help but think of the crafty possibilities joinery will add to your projects : D. #10
What beautiful atc's how are you storing them Julia? Do you have an album for them?
Just wanted to say congratulations I saw your post below and how amazing that you were featured in it with WOYWW...
Thankyou for letting us all be apart of this wonderful weekly adventure of your's....
Maria
FABULOUS collection of ATCs there! I don't imagine that they would all fit on one desk, either indoors or outdoors!
Ditto re. list making. I'm a compulsive, obsessive list maker, but it rarely seems to help much, sigh.
Happy WOYWW, RosA # 11
Your ATC's are gorgeous, all of them. Hope you still have all your fingers. Enjoy the week, Helen, 13
Wonderful collection of ATC's Julia!! You had definitely started something wonderful 4 years ago!! Thank you :-). Have a wonderful week and happy WOYWW!!
Janene n#16
Wow! what a stash! You lucky lady - no more than you deserve, Ms Hostess with the Mostess! Pre-ordered my copy of Featuring :)
Wow! That is one fantastic collection. Congrats on the article. I 'know' someone else who has contributed to Featuring previously. It looks like a gorgeous magazine.
Have a great day at the joinery bench!
Fiona xx #20 (for now!)
PS The blue Bigshot? It's not an SU thing, just a very old thing and not in either of the fancy new liveries :o)
They are all such gorgeous ATC's. I've spent ages looking at each of them. You are a very lucky lady, bummer about the lists. That is just the sort of thing I would do :).
Von # 23
These are all incredible. How awesome. All those mini art pieces.
I was at the airport when you went live. It's too bad you had to post so early this week, the one week I was not at home (grin). What can I say? I'm number HUGE this week (21).
Gorgeous times 1,000! How wonderful are these cards! I am ashamed to say my plans to send you one have not materialized as yet, I've been sick and in bed the past week. But I am up and about and have been working on putting the promised ATCs in envelopes. :^)Patsy from
HeARTworks
I will definitely be partaking next year - the ATC's everyone is showing are exquisite - Mxx
Beautiful collection of ATC's and many congrats on the magazine article. Pam#28
Wow what a beautiful collection and each unique to its creator. Hope you have a fab day lovely. Take care Zo xx 31
What a lovely collection! It shows how much everyone appreciates you, Julia. Well done, and have a great week xx
What a gorgeous collection of inspiration you have .Love the pink one with the butterflies. Have a great week, Shaz #38xxx
Oh wow such a lovely display of gorgeousness on your desk today, Julia. Happy Wednesday. :o)
Sue x (MiniOwner@34)
WOW indeed Julia...what a gorgeous array of crafty talent...Happy WOYWW to you...hugs kath xxx
Awesome lot of little art treasures there! I love all the ATC's I have been getting! Congrats on the Featuring article. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #26
Well, at least you made a list and didn't have to make bunting instead of more ATCs, like some people I could mention.......cough.....
'twas good to see you on Monday ;-)
LLJ 41 xx
such a range of gorgeous ATC's you were a lucky lady. I would have gotten confused too with that many.
Have a great week and thanks for the fun
Gill x
Morning Julia! Fab stash of ATCs - going back for another look. Have a great day. MMx
My goodness look at all the ATC's and the talented folk who made them deserve a round of applause! Great Job!
How lovely, all that happy post!
Karen #49
I had a list too but now cant find mine! What a beautiful collection of ATCs you've had.....lots of love coming to you from all over the world and so it should be. :-)
Hugs,
A x
You mean to say you didn't write a list of what the symbols meant? And a list of lists? Shame on you!
Good news, thou, there's not a single person alive who hasn't done this, even if they're not honest enough to confess.
Happy WOYWW,
Love Rachel
They all look like fantastic miniature works of art, I love the sewing picture and atc to match, a masterpiece! Happy WOYWW! #51
((Lyn))
see this is one of the reasons why I don't do lists (other than being lazy) if I do a list it quickly becomes incomprehensible, for example what the living daylights is WUL???

Morning Julia,Great looking at your fab collection of atc's. Hugs Mo x #51
Great ATCs there Julia! And well done on the magazine article - you didn't say if it'll be available to buy in newsagents such as W H Smith rather than pay more than half as much again for postage?
Di xx
What a beautiful collection of ATCs. Wonderful news about the magazine article too. I must buy a copy. xxx Julie Ann
What a fab collection - so much crafty talent out there. and the little cross stitch set at the bottom is perfect. x Jo
What a wonderful collection of ATCs you've received! I had plans of sending you one but only got so far as putting your name on the envelope before I left for abroad. I have a list on Google docs but maybe a plain paper list is more effective! Unless I lose it in the mess of my desk!
Your ATCs are brilliant, Julia, and so wonderfully displayed! I'm sorry that your clever system failed you. I'm quite familiar with that failure process. You'll be delighted to know that as you march inexorably on in the aging process, the embarrassment becomes quite minor!
Congratulations, my dear, on reaching 1300 followers!!! I hope they got that part in your article. It's SO fantastic!!
Have a wonderful week! xxoo Darnell #64
How nice to have all those lovely envelopes to open instead of bills. Cup of tea and a sit down sounds like the order of the day so that you can enjoy them all.
Lynn //67
They all look great. Happy WOYWW xx Jan (68)
Those little wonders are just amazing and you have so many to admire. Thanks for woyww Julia, it's such fun.
xx
Fabulous ATC's.
Linda #65
Good morning, Julia. What a lovely collection of ATCs - beautiful gifts.
You were kind enough last week to leave a message of encouragement for Mrs D over the news of her DH's operation. I've put an update on my blog this week.
Thank you from Chris for your prayers for them both.
Margaret
So many ATC's! Wow. And some many different techniques used! I really like them :)

Sandy :) #48
Hi Julia thanks so much for fixing up link and sorry for hassle more haste less speed as mother would say
..and to my horror just saw on my earlier comment that I ended calling you Julie!!!!!.. that surely is akin to someone calling my mother "Joy" - Joyce! (she hated that!)
..so hopefully things are "sort of back to normal"
:D happy WOYWW - and thanks for popping over twice! Shaz in oz.x #4(now!)
Woo! Hoo! What a smashing display! So deserved and what a great time was had.
While you are doing your joinery, machine power tooling etc. you be careful and wander back here soon.
Bishopsmate #98

What a wonderful collection of ATCs you've been sent. I am so glad as it shows how thankful people are for the massive commitment you have put into WOYWW and the community you have built.
Lovely collection Julia, and had to laugh at your coded list - so funny!!
Debs #100
loads of fabulous ATCs, Julia. That's the problem with devising a system, whatever it is you have to remember it :) Happy WOYWW. Elizabeth x #78
Wow! Gorgeous stuff!!! There are some amazingly talented WOYWWers, that's for sure. Hope you have a productive week with your work so you can whittle out some time to play. Happy WOYWW! ~ Laura
Good-morning all...having issues with my server this morning and have not (yet) been able to post my desk shot! Wow what a wonderful collection of cards! Such an amazing display of techniques and styles! A truely talented bunch!!!
Well, I am going to desk hop and hope I can get my own entry written and linked in a bit!
Debbie ( aka: DayLee Doodler)
Phew ....nearly missed this week ...showing my exchange Atc's ....wow you had so many ....how wonderful xx
What a beautiful collection you have, Julia. WOYWWers are certainly a talented and generous lot aren't they?
Hugs Lisax #105
I am sure lists are more trouble than benefit, your example proves this theory! Congrats on being published .... very well deserved.
Sandra @104
What a fantastic collection of ATCs Julia. I was so sorry I missed the anniversary but did swap a few ATCs anyway, so that was lovely. Congratulations on being published too. Happy WOYWW Gill x
What a great batch of ATCs!!! I love the diversity and creativity. And the cute stitched picture and matching card... just too cool! And congrats on you and WOYWW being published, that is amazing! Way to go!
Carol N #115
Julia, what lovely ATC's!!
Julia, I finally have my WOYWW anniversary ATCs stitched up (yes, mine are fabric ATCs) and I just want to send you one because of all your hard work and kindness in bringing this group together. Please email me your mailing info: xstitchdiva@msn.com. Hugs! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #103
Hi Julia,
What a wonderful collection!! I know what you mean about the asterisk.... I thought I would be more organized than what I was last year about sending out ATCs and again, I feel as though I've failed in some way. I'm planning to do a proper post about all the lovely ATCs that I received as I noticed I'd left one special one out of my desk photo....
Happy WOYWW
Hugs Kay (93)
What a Gorgeous collection of ATC's
Congratulations on your Feature in the magazine too x
Have a Beautiful week Heather #81
You are one precious lady! So many ATCs you received shows how much you are appreciated. I sadly did no do any extras, but hope I can send more next year. And thank you so much for keeping us all connected for a 5th year. Looking forward to another great year. You surely are a good apprentice for your hubby. Till next week. Hugs!
What a wonderful collection of ATC's.Love this opportunity to peek. Sandy
Hi Julia!!
Lovely ATC's! You deserve them all because you are AWESOME!!
I bragged about you and your featured article on my blog today!!
xxDaniella#111
I always seem to come to this late in the day and end up really far down the list. I must try harder next time ;) All those beautiful ATCs, lucky you!
Gorgee-oso ATC's, etc! I'm inspired! When looking at other's ATC's I sometimes wonder, "Hey, why didn't I think of that?" And then I remember, "Oh yeah, it would be pretty boring if we all came up with the same card..." ;)
Have a great WOYWW!
Lisa #125
A little peek at my desktop today - in lieu of my messy workdesk :)
So more of a WOYDTW (What's on your desktop Wednesday). Not as catchy really :)
Sarah
That is an amazing collection of ATC's. I am sure everyone will understand your confusion with who you thanked and didn't - sometimes all best plans go wrong! Happy WOYWW :)
A fabulous collection there Julia! thankyou so much for organizing the swap it has been a lot of fun. you are very much appreciated by us all xx
Toni 129
Wow! what a wonderful collection of ATCs - are you going to put them in a little book or something? happy WOYWW x
Oh my, what a lot of ATC's you got! Happy WOYWW!
Running late this week! I love all your gorgeous ATCs, what a lovely lot of artistic treasures you have there. Thanks for hosting and sharing. Caro x (#133)
Lol! I absolutely love the WOYWW cross stitch!
Thanks for hosting, sorry I'm so late to the party!
Hope you have a bundle more still to come! They look great!
Not playing along this week as I can't post a photo from up here...just stopped by to see your ATC's and say a friendly hello!
Mine for today, eventually! www.esellek.com
Love all the ATC's.
Happy WOYWW
Carol x
Just so you can mark my name "thanked" You did send me an email! LOL Sometimes lists can backfire!
Oh, you are so right! Such talented people join in to this linky party! :) Thank you for hostessing it and sharing all your lovely ATC's and that embroidered wall hanging, too, just gorgeous! Hugs, Deeyll #140
Those ATCs are beautiful. I'm fairly new to WOYWW, so I didn't participate, but it looked like great fun!
Oh wow you have received some gorgeous ATC's and some beautiful gifts. I do that, write little notes and lists, sometimes even craft ideas, then a few days later look and think 'what the heck did I mean by that' lol. Happy Woyww :-) Hugs Kezzy xxx
Had to laugh Julia, I did the very same thing, next time I must make a note of what my symbols mean. Gorgeous mini works of art there love the cross stitch ATC and picture.
Happy art making
Hugs Lottie #143
What fabulous cards!!! I have so been there with lists myself lol!!
Ailsa #145

Wow, what a wonderful collection of cards, tags & ATCs. Woywwers sure are a talented bunch!
Happy Woyww, :-)
Sandy #113
Those ATC's look great! We have quite a talented group here. :)
Have a happy rest of the week!
~Jeanna 149
Wow Julia! Those are all so pretty. Yes there are a bunch of talented artists here at WOYWW! I can relate to the LIST! Usually the farthest I get is to think about writing one! Your story is so cute! Also thank you for all you do every week to keep this going. You are amazing!
What a creative way to celebrate your 4th anniversary. Congratulations!
What a gorgeous collection! Enjoy the rest of the week! Sand 97
They're all so beautiful! I've tried to make ATCs, but apparently I'm not much of a collage/scrapbooking type. I'll start them and abandon them.
You have received some wonderful Atc's and the cross stitch is really neat!
I'm back from my short break in Torquay, and although I posted on Wednesday I couldn't link up but here I am now!
Happy WOYWW (belated).
Carol
Wow - lots and lots of ATC's. You should make a big collage of all of them. April #110
Although I did not have time to make ATG's this year(won't let that happen again) I do have a card I would love to send to you if you would so kindly send me your address!
