On my desk this week I have laid out the last Atc from the 3rd b'day swap, this was sent to me from Rosa. It has been made to be a fold out concertina style, very cool.each page has a different billboard style pic from Oz (Rosa is from OZ) I also got the lovely card with the really cool skiing sheep stamp. I love that image so much.
I have also been blown away by 2 random acts of kindness over the last two weeks, The first I should have posted last week but got carried away with all the ATC's. I got sent 2 skeletons and loads of really cool stamped skeleton busts, they are kind of day of the dead style, different outfits. right up my street. These were sent to me by Neet. Thank you so much, I am really looking forward to finding the right project for them.
This tag was sent to me by Mel I saw this on her blog, loved it and had no idea it was on its way to me, I also got a little care package to go with it, Am I lucky or what, they all put a big smile on my face coming home to find these, thank you so much.
I have been totally blown away by the crafting community since starting my blog. I have enjoyed every moment, so thank you for the comments and encouragement.
Have a great week. mark.
I will as ever try to get to as many people as poss, at least all those that visit me and all those that end with the same number as me.
I envy you for those skeletons and skeleton images *pffffffft* and I'm curious as hell to know what you'll do with them LOL ... Do you all know each other? Must be very heartwarming to get such magnificent great surprises :-)

Oh yes - could there be preferential treatment by the Lottery for crafters frustrated by 11 work days getting in the way of getting inky & painty !!

Cool stuff on your desk Mark. I think the crafting/blogging community rocks! I have made extraordinary friendships in the short while I have been blogging, opened my mind to so many different styles (I thought grungy was the ONLY way)
ReplyDeleteAnna from Sussex x
Lovely goodies in the post! I've had so many nice ATCs lately and it's been such fun. Just one or two more to come now, and then I can do a blog post about them all.
ReplyDeleteI'm working my way through the whole list this week (hopefully!) - I've been so bad about it recently and thought I'd make a real effort this week, and it's paid off because I've visited blogs I've never been before. So it's a very belated happy WOYWW from me,
