I joined in a PIF on 'ATCs For All Forum' some time ago where we swapped envelopes of scrap papers - the premise being if it was our old papers we would never use them BUT if they were fresh ones from someone else's stash........
This week I have emptied all the envelopes into the basket ......
Now I am having a look at what there is ...... intriguing when you see them all together....
Then..... then .... I will create .... I will ..... honestly!
I am at Creative Expressions today, PJ said he will drive me to a workshop there ...... I am not mentioning the fact that there is a 'weathervane' factory on the same business park, one that made our Cockerel vane, which is not really working properly.....
I will update you all later in time ......
Have a good WOYWWednesday while I'm away from my desk ......
that's a very good idea about the paper swap! enjoy the workshop... and the weathervane factory! Helen #2
ReplyDeleteI too like the paper swap idea, but here the postage has gotten so out of sight for out of area, I dread sending things. Cost me more in the states to mail my grandkids gifts then it does the gift. I use to do a lot of exchanges out of country but have cut way back on that we have postal issues in our area. Do have a good day....wishing everyone Sunshine #11
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW. Enjoy your workshop and the trip to the factory. That paper swap is a good idea. I often get sent a few bits of stash when I receive an ATC, and I do use them more than my own scraps. Ali x #12
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the workshop Christine and hope you manage to get the weathervane sorted too. I try to send out a frew bits and bobs from my stash when I send ATCs and tags. I love seeing what people do with them. Happy WOYWW Sarah #17
ReplyDeleteMorning Christine. Have a great day!!! Hope you manage to find out why your weather vane isn't working properly...
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Hi Christine, lovely selection of papers. Enjoy the workshop! Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #8 XxX
ReplyDeleteWell not to be too negative because I totally understand the premise, but even someone else’s scraps wouldn’t inspire me at this point, I am SO on a mission to reduce that I want no more! Bet you’re having a fab time at CE. Are you sure it’s the bane and not the actual weather that isn’t working properly?!!!
ReplyDeleteWell you don't hear about a weather vane factory that often! Hopefully you can get yours sorted out - there's a beautiful Red Kite one on the library in Llandeilo which I covet greatly. Think they'd take a dim view of me shinning up the gutters to nick it :-D. Hope you have fun at the workshop.

Ooo look at all those papers and I have to agree regarding sent papers they are so much easier to use.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your workshop and maybe a peep at the weather vane factory?? Maybe even a we purchase :) Thank you for sharing WOYWW Tracey #13
There is some sense in that paperswap - but what could I give away? SUCH a hoarder. I wonder weather you've got designs on that factory? Sounds like it to me! Hope the workshop was fun. Happy Wednesday Cindy #20
ReplyDeleteWorkshops! so love them. Hope we get to see what you make. Have a great woyww and happy crafty week, Angela x18x
ReplyDeleteLots of potential on your desk! Hope you're having a fantastic day! xo Cheetarah #24
