Happy WOYWW! First, here's my secret thingy I showed you a peek of last week. It was a sort of a 'This Is Your Life' picture Album for Hubby's birthday, filled with as many pictures of him as I could find, from a baby, to a mean teen, up until now! Still loads of spaces to add more, want to also add some words. Just a few pages here...and for those of you with beady eyes, the cooking one....it's a pinney!!! (he's wearing his Michelangelo's David Apron... )
(Of course when I typed out the post all the pictures looked nice and neat, side by side and in a nice short row, now they look muddled up in a really long row... I'll just press this and hope that makes them line up properly!!) Yay!!
Next.. Some of the ATC's (and a fantastic card from Neesie! Love the smooth shiny card it's printed on too, like matt photo card...must get some!) which I received from some fabulously talented WOYWWER's over the last few weeks... I've sent out quite a few (some I've only just realised to non woywwers too! Stamp a big L on my forehead!)
So, if you haven't received yours yet, let me know, as I was away most of last week, I may be thinking I've sent it when I haven't! (Sieve head and very forgetful!) or I may have sent someone else two lots! (Sieve head and very forgetful!)

- and Neesie's card.... That's it for now...hop over to Julia's Stamping Ground and join in with What's On Your WorkDesk Wednesday?!? Show off your craftymess and see what everyone else has been up to! Thank you for stopping by
Lovely ATc's and card - and your album is great! Happy WOYWW! dani22
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn, I see you got mine and yours arrived yesterday. Love it. You can see it posted on my blog. Love the elephant. Way to cute. #14
ReplyDeleteYour book is gorgeous Lyn - and I wanted to let you know that I LOVE your stories of "the cat that isn't yours" - you'll have to leave me a link with a picture so I can take a peek!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what is that new gadget on your sidebar? First time I've seen it so I'm not sure how it works!
Have a great day!
Oh I see mine up there, Lyn, thanks. what a nice variety you got. I'm #26 this week.
ReplyDeleteLove the scrapbook - what a lot of work you have done - well done you ! I am trying to do something similar for my Mother In Law's 80th in August but its hard to get the older photos without giving the game away !! Have a fun week ! Ali #39
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to have a photo album for your husband! We usually spend so much time making one or more for our kids! Patsy from

What a wonderful idea for you're hubby. It will be such a special treasure and so thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteI started to do a similar album for our 25 years together but had to issue an IOU with it because I never got to finish it...still haven't and we'll be celebrating 33 years on Saturday!!! EEK! I know my sums don't add up because I'm only 19!
I'm so thrilled that you're card arrived safely all that way and that you like it ;D
Thanks so much for the mention too.
Have fun with WOYWW ~ Enjoy! Neesie #26

ReplyDeleteYou have made a lovely album, I want to send you an ATC but I never got round to asking for your address - can you please send it to my email (dolores.kerec@gmail.com)you don't have to swap - I just wanted to send you something as you comment on my blog and always make such lovely freebies for us!
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs
Cardarian
aw Cardarian thank you!! I do have some spare... so I'll send you one too!
Delete(Lyn)
Wow. That album looks like it took some time :) Why "rubbish??" Funny I was reading an article just the other day about artists and how they always make less of their work by saying "Oh I JUST did X.." like it took 5 minutes when they slaved over it for days I think he will love it and you should be proud of it. And say so!
ReplyDeleteThat sounded more like a lecture (or an annoying life-coach pep talk) then it was meant to. But my point is that you may be looking at it one way and he will def. look at it and see the love.
Happy WOYWW!!

I'll take the 'rubbish bit' out! It was blogger, all the pictures were looking muddled and 'rubbish' but they look better now!
DeleteFabulous photo book - hope your husband loved it. Lovely artwork.
ReplyDelete#101
Wow, there is so much work in that album, I bet your hubby loved it. Great ATC's you received and Neesies gorgeous card, you lucky thing.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Von #28
I love Nessie's card, it's a million times better in the 'flesh' !
DeleteHi Lyn, I could have sworn that I left you a comment last night. Well it is not there. Love the new Elephant. I have got to work on my zentangle. He is just soo cute. You got some fabulous ATC's. The album for your husband is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've only just got in, sooo your other comment might still need moderating!! I love your ATC!I'm now redesigning the few more I thunk I still have to send, when I remember where!
DeleteLove your album!! The cover is really nice. Well done I am sure he loves it! woyww 158 - your newest follower.
ReplyDeleteJust been over to your blog Sian, love your book cover, it's brilliant but I can't comment and your emails have come back 'undelivered' Thank you for following!
ReplyDelete(Lyn)
Lyn, Thanks so much for your comments, I have now turned off the word veri thingy and monitoring so it should be easier, and the comment box should be easier to see on the blog now too. I know that on my website you can't comment but I can't change that "wail" so all comments have to go through the blog. Thanks for the compliment re the book cover though! Sian xx
ReplyDeleteKeep the monitoring i have that now, because I do get a few people trying to advertise! Will go now h=and have another go!
Deleteoh and I have updated the email address thingy too. Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteI bet john is over the moon with his special album....great idea.
ReplyDeleteI hate to mention atc's as I didn't make any but I never got the one you said you might have spare....dont worry if you have run out ..just thought I'd mention it in case. xx #9
What a brilliant album for your hubby, but what with his David on show and LLJ's hubbys utensils on display I'm all of a flutter now, lol! Lovely idea though. Beautiful atc's too, very cool. I laughed at you keeping worms in the house!!
ReplyDeleteHugs

Hi Lyn,
ReplyDeleteA confession -- I enlarged the photos before reading your text. And I must say, I noticed the Michaelangelo apron right off! hee hee I even had to tilt my head just a bit to make sure I was seeing correctly ;-)
Your ATCs that you've received are great. That was so much fun! I'm not linking up today as I forgot it was Wednesday..... don't ask.
Hugs,
Kay
Hi Lyn, I love your album and I think you hubby will too, so much work has gone into it. Love your card and ATCs too. Anne x #43
ReplyDeleteOh my what a great album chock full of pictures. If I made an album for my honey it would be like 3 pages long with a mere one photo per page. Got a giggle at the David apron. Great ATCs that you have received. I'm glad I'm not the only sieve head around these parts. I recently hit up a lady for her address and she said she'd gladly give it to me if I wanted to send her more but she already got mine. That's nice, but now who didn't? AH well....
ReplyDeleteOMG, that apron is a hoot!!!!!!!!!!!! Too funny! I wouldn't have gone looking for it if you hadn't said something, lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteI knew someone would see it!!
DeleteLove your gift to your husband! Looks great! I bet he loves it! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky hubby you have. Hope he likes his book.
ReplyDeleteThe Doodly Birds say hello and we all like your ATC's

Great album and lovely ATCs - it was lovely to be part of the swap. x Jo #84
ReplyDeleteWOW.... I love what you have done for your Hubby! He will love that its a work of art! What a brill idea. I hope my from desk to counter top works out ok, bit worried about how long I will have to be without a crafty spot!

I admit I laughed and laughed at your hubby's apron. And I thought the album was awesome. I enlarged it in order to see it, something I can do now that most of Wednesday is gone.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am in LOVE with that elephant. It is beyond gorgeous. Even though I'm a rocking horse kind of gal, I am still drawn to this beauty.
thanks for the crafty snoop...what a wonderful keepsake...I bet hubby was over the moon...happy WOYWW...hugs kath xxx (50)
ReplyDeleteThat is one amazing album - I love the layout and the thought behind it as well, just gorgeous as are the ATCs - what fun it's been.
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #72 xx
What a wonderful gift! Love the apron! *LOL* Happy WOYWW! Warmly, Tracy #105
ReplyDeleteLove the photo album, looks straight from here tee hee. ATCs are great arent they?
ReplyDeleteBridget #13
Great looking album and lots of loving, dedicated hours have gone into that I imagine! Great stuff. Debs #135
ReplyDeleteWhat a super album! Take care, am still snooping on Thursday. Zo xx 73
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know ...your ATC has arrived ...and I love it ...thankyou so much. xx
ReplyDeleteoops forgot ... twice... to say I LOVE your elephant. xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry I'm late! That album for your Hubby looks awesome! I know he will love it!! And the gifts from WOWers are wonderful!
ReplyDeletexxDaniella#167
happy woyww, looks like you have been busy, great stuff, was looking for this big paper stash in the corner ;) happy crafting, mark
ReplyDeleteHi Spyder - unfortunately Blogger is playing silly bloggers again... yet again... and I can't see your pictures properly - some are loading but most are not. I'll try again later... Your ablum for your hubby is a great idea. I was going to do something similar for mine, but it sort of bit the dust when Christmas appeared last year and I havent' done any more on it since.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment on my blog - show is now over and although I didn't sell anything much, it was a great day and I had fun demonstrating. I'm now knackered. Oh well. Glad you liked what I'd done. I'll be blogging about the show once I've got over the exhaustion a bit and had a chance to sort through my boxes and get some photos uploaded.
Sorry to miss WOYWW this week - just too much on, I'm afraid!
Shoshi
Love that album. What fun getting all those ATC's.
