So here's the WOYWW Crop, in all its attendee glory. It was a lovely, sunny day. There was a lovely warm atmosphere because I think, everyone had already met..if not in person, then online across their desks.
By the time I got there, Jan, her men and Doug and Shaz Silverwolf had it all set up. I traded ATCs, chatted and made tea and coffee.

Shaz had to leave before lunch..she and Doug had a wedding to go to...but how fab of them to bother, don't you think! And finally, Janet, her Fairythoughts and her gorgeous Handyman arrived after lunch. Bonus, because yep, more chatting! I didnt 'do' anything all day...in fact, I didn't take anything to do. You will see, I'm sure, on many blogs over the next couple of weeks that every one else made time to craft; it was a delightful mix too - hand and machine sewing, journals and paste and spritzers, stamps and scrapbook papers. Crochet and knitting too. How multi talented we Deskers are. It really was a lovely day filled with friends and chat. And oh, did I mention...there was a lot of cake.
Thanks to y'all for coming, and to Jan for doing. We might have to do it again.

It was indeed a lovely Crop, even though too short for us! Here's to the next one, xxx
Oh my gosh! What a fun looking bunch. Sure wish I had a teleport machine like there may be in the future so I could have attended!
Thank you so much cos without you we'd not have these super days. Loved every moment. Wembley was Amazing! Tears were shed!! TC Zo xx
I cannot believe we have to wait a whole YEAR to do it again!
:)
Thanks to all, but you and Jan in particular, for making it such a lovely day.

Congratulations and well done to you and your little helpers. It looks like everyone had a brilliant day.
Great photos of the gang ;D
Well done to all - so glad you had such a fab day. x Jo
Glad you had such a fab time. Sue
All the hard work in the planning looks to have been worth it. What a fab bunch you all are.
Hugs,

If I had been there, I would have been just like you. I would have been taking photos and getting to know all the lovely people I've met over the years at their desks. Of course, you already know them, but, after all, this day was for YOU, so eating cake, making tea and coffee, and have a fun time seeing what everyone else was makingh keeps you the Queen of Snoop. So glad you had a good time, and now it is time to put your feet up and rest awhile!
It certainly was a wonderful day! You and LLJ definitely know how to put on a 'do'! Hope it wasn't too stressful to organise - I'd love to do it all again next year! For now though, rest, knowing you did a good job!! Thank you! Chrisx
thanks once again for doing the run to and from the station for me, and for your wonderful hospitality and tea making skills. You can't beat great company, great chatting and great (quantities of) cake. Yes please, let's do it again!
Sounds like you all had a wonderful time (the least you could have done Julia, was take some photos of the cake you keep mentioning LOL).
Toni xx
wow looks like everyone had a fabulous time. I am going to try and get there someday. I would love to meet everyone face to face! Vickie
It sure was a fantabulous day Julia. Thank you for organising it and thanks Jan for making sure we were fed.
Fergus is chuffed to his little furballs that you mentioned him!!
Hugs

Jan what a wonderful bunch of desker's there and the hubby's managed to do the dishes gosh now that is real convincing and a good job done. Nice to meet everyone, just a pity it was a big swim across the pond. Maybe one year I will make the distance. Hope you had enough ATC's to swap.
Hugs Eliza & Yoda
I'm sure you all had a wonderful time chatting the day away and eating cake while enjoying a cuppa tea
Thank you to both you and Jan - it was such a lovely day! The chats, the crafting, the eating cake ( I should have had more of that lemon cake :-)) the lovely lunch made by Jan, more chat - oh I had a great time!
Love and big hugs!
Cardarian
