Meanwhile, I’ve been at my desk for several sessions this week already. A lovely long screen chat with LLJ on Monday gave me time for cutting out, and in between things yesterday I managed some sticking, trimming and inking. So far so good!
All of this activity is secret though. Last Wednesday you lot set of the panic train in my brain, so I just had to start on my ATCs, especially as I had a vague idea! What you can see on my desk is the arc of pushback, it’s amazing how I can make it look tidy but the back and edges are a bit precarious! Great ATC backs made by Mary Anne are printed and ready to be cut up. My lovely blank ATC storage box back on centre stage - made for me by the beautiful and missed Debbie Rock, such a pleasure to own. You can just see two rulers in the foreground - funny, I used one, pushed it to the side, and then when I needed to use it again, I reached up to where I should have put it back, and used the spare. And then pushed that to the side as well. And that black and grey thing right in the front of the pic is a Fiskars scissor sharpener. Useful bit of plastic and metal, actually. That’s me then, now you please! Put WOYWW in your post title please, then link here as usual! See you later!

I haven't really followed the theme I just sort of played... but I guess that works too! I couldn't take advantage of Mary Anne's atc backs, not having a printer! Nice to see your desk from a different angle, it looks so different! Helen #2
WoW I think that's a first for me being first>....maybe my luck has changed. I won enough at the casino to be chosen to pay taxes and the SUNSHINE is back. I took a quick nap today and just couldn't get to sleep and had to stay out of the kitchen looking for snacks.so posted early. Now it's midnight so off to dreamland.Your desk is in good shape hope the ATC's don't give you too much grief! I'm almost prepared. Have a great weekend and Happy WOYWW
Lovely to see the backs in use, especially as this set is a departure from the usual design! And now must Google the fiskars thing too as my scissors need a swipe with Tim sure. Enjoy your making and save a swap for me!
Happy Woyww!

Tomorrow is set aside for making an ATC for my swap partner Julia. Not sure if I will get any more done as my desk shows. Looks like you are well into creating. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
Ooh i know what you mean about rulers, i have 2 hung up at the side of my desk and often end up using both other them!! Fair play for starting your ATC too.

Good luck with the ATC making. Jo and I got together yesterday with our ,now finished, ATCs to discuss the nest plans 😀 ....any excuse for a get together.

Interesting desk angle today. I have one of those scissor sharpeners......well somewhere! I am working on my ATCs at the moment but no idea what theme they are it's just what my dizzy head made me do Lol! Have a lovely creative woyww. Hugs, Angela x8x
I really hope you meant that we could just make some ATCs of whatever which is what I've done! Such a pretty little ATC box you have there. The arc of pushback is quite amusing to me and love the ATC backs. Hugs BJ#11
Good morning Julia 🤸♂️🤗 I'm glad it's not only me that puts something down ... for me it's scissors ✂️ I've seen me using 3 pairs at once ... reaching for a set as the one before got ... lost 😁🙃 Yaaay for getting organised with your ATC's , thank you so much for the information 🙏 I'm aiming to get a good few done 🤞 gorgeous backs by Mary Anne 💕 You did indeed make your desk look lovely and tidy , surrounded by your treasures ⭐️ I'm sat looking over at mine and realised a few things have fallen down the back ... I'm laughing away here as a little one is standing ... how I do not know, thankfully from here nothing looks broken 😘 I'll take a picture and add it to the bottom of my post ... still laughing here 😁😆😅!!
Have a marvelous week,happy creating. Lots of love and hugs Tracy #12 xxx
I love the ATC backs - what a classy design. I am looking forward to joining in with the swap but can't believe how quickly it's come round -only three weeks - Yikes! I'd love to swap with you - there I've said it, so that means I absolutely have to get on and make them!
Have a good week,

14 years Julia, that’s amazing 🤩. I know I bob in and out these days but it’s wonderful to know that this lovely community is here whenever I get the chance. I feel like I have a lot of friends here

I think there will be an abundance of hidden ATCs on desks this week!! wonder what is the collective name .... I remember driving down the road in France and passing a yard full of parked up Diggers, Peter and I then spent the next few hundred miles trying to think of a collective name . . . a scoopful of diggers!! and so it was.
ATCs . . . . hmmm
Great shot of your desk . . . ever since you introduced me to pushback I have loved it, mine is never the artistic circle but I'm trying.
Have a good week

Hi Julia, I am probably contrary in that I find it easier without a theme. so much thinking with a theme. I have mine done, just the backs to write out. It's amazing how quickly things get lost when you put things down for a moment. I can't remember if I asked you to swap with me - will you please? Can you send me your address please. Happy WOYWW.

Good morning, Miss Julia!
Love the push back method. Ranks right up there with Pile It. LOL
Interesting idea about 'what our desk' means to us. Hmmm now you got me thinking. Hugs & Creative Blessings! ~ Kelly #21
Lovely busy desk! I'm not making any ATC's to mail, but I may make one to post on my blog, Yes it is easier when there is a theme, colour, etc! Maybe next year...Have a lovely week, Lindart #23
Hi Julia, great to see your busy desk. Apologies but I won't be able to join in the ATC exchange much as I'd love to. Hopefully next year. I have one of those scissor sharpeners too - does the job really well. Have a lovely week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #24
yes, multiples are happening here- on with you name on it. I've never made a back, I need more space to color! Robyn 25
Blimey Julia, 14 years soon. Amazing :D
