Looking back, already

Remember New Year? Well, I do, because January 2nd was the 500th WOYWW and it all ties in nicely with the beginning of the month, year. At some stage over the preceeding week, a card came by post. It was whisked away from my sight because it said on the envelope that I wasn't to open it before the 2nd January. I didn't actually see it until then, such is the efficiency of secret keeping Chez Dunnit.
It was this beautiful card:

Our lovely WOYWW logo reproduced, embellished beautifully and numbered in that shadow technique that really is amazingly effective here. Isn't it beautiful. The card contains computer generated text that is flattering, friendly, lovely and purports to be from any and all of those who take part in WOYWW. It's quite the loveliest; I look at it more than once a day and it makes me smile. Just as on a Wednesday when I ask you to link and perpetuate the foolishness of WOYWW, I can only say THANK YOU.

 It seriously is a lovely card isn't it.
Feeling inspired - or perhaps - enabled?
I'm linking this with Annie's Friday Smiles, because it's Friday and because it makes me smile.

    A lovely card Julia. I do like the shadow effect. Well done on 500 WOYWW posts. I loved being a part of it, but Wednesday is such a difficult day for me, and this Friday blog seems to the only time I really get to sit at the computer long enough to visit blogland. But good for you. Long may it continue. Kate xx

    WOW. I'm glad Jan let us know that Shaz made it. It's a beauty and so appropriate, too. I want to join in again, but it takes forever to get any posts together, since I'm still having problems with my keyboard which chooses to work at its leisure. You have no idea how any missing letters I had to add to the last sentence.

    You have made WOYWW a household name, and I am SO proud to know you through the interweb.

    I've just received this post...Saturday.
    What a wonderful card and thoughts. I think whoever sent the card spoke for all of us about our Wednesday meet up. I don't think I could get through the week without it now. It puts purpose in the week, all the other days seem like a Saturday now I'm retired. I think you are wonderful to maintain this week after week and I am indebted to you for all the friends, fun, tears, teaching and goodwill I have found here.
    I feel so loved thanks to you.
    Enjoy your beautiful card.

    Wow! What a beautiful and appropriate tribute! I think it deserves a place of honor, like an easel or a frame. The creator made it with love and lots of talent!

    Sorry I'm so late in commenting this week....my ipad is still playing up and refusing to let me leave comments and this is the first time I've had chance to use the laptop.
    I love the card...we all have a lot to celebrate thanks to you so that should get us all smiling. It's really lovely to see you linking up this week.
    Hugs,
    Annie x
