Wasn't the thirteenth Anniversary a lovely one? Certainly thirteen is not a bad number for WOYWW'ers and what lovely ATC's I have to show for it. Here are the ones I received:
Starting top left:- LLJ, Cindy, Diana, Ali - bottom left Annie, Jo, Tracy, Julia - thank you so much ladies - for lovely ATC's and for fun and friendship along the way - roll on 1st October.
And here are some of the lovely cards that accompanied them, envelopes and stamps - delightful!
I must confess my own ATC's were under the theme "communication" and not "connections". I read it wrongly and should have gone to Specsavers. The trouble is I did! And only 6 months ago! However, they did loosely fit the theme, I think. My ATC's not my specs! Sorry everyone.
I still have not made any progress on the project I began with my friend last week, neither has she, in fact she has not taken hers out of the bag whereas I have done more die cutting. I think we need another session together to make any real progress. However, I have a card I made the other week and forgot to show you - it is Aall & Create as per usual with me these days.
I don't think I scanned the one made last week, however, I will have a look around and if I find it I will post it next week.
Just a note for anyone who is having problems with comments on blogs. I read a comment on a blog (Sirkkis from Finland left the comment) saying if you have Chrome or Safari as your browser the solution is that you turn on cookies if you haven't already. If you get a message that cookies are turned off, you need to turn them on to use your desktop account. This is from Google and it solved her problem. Worth a try?
Also last Wednesday, for some reason unknown to me, I went to my comment section and began clicking on the ticks and then as I scrolled down past the 'bins' I found a tick (one not published) so I published it and then a bit further down another. Later I checked through quite a few and found two more hidden in the depths between the ones I had already published. How on earth they got there I do not know - so if you are having problems it might be wise to check through your already published comments.
Wanted that to grab your attention just in case you have some missing comments or cannot comment.
Now to my desk.
The coloured card on the left of my little Artisan Explorer is coloured for me to cut out letters so that they stand out on the cards. The greenish paper to the right is some I coloured with Oxides for the project I am still doing with my friend. I need to do more of that paper too.
This was my desk last week with my ATC's (communication not connection - although I may have got away with it if you think about it - we connect by phone?)
Well, that is it for this week - quite a long post so I had better sign off. See you all next week - hope to see lots of ATC's on show today from the awesome event last week of thirteen years of WOYWW. Thank You so much Julia.

Happy WOYWW Neet and loving your atcs - both the ones you received and sent. I hope your tip helps people who are having trouble commenting. Happy WOYWW and good luck with your project with your friend. Happy WOYWW Helem #2
I think your ATCs cover the prompt perfectly Neet. Thanks for the hint re commenting - I will be checking my list. Hope you and your friend manage a crafty get together soon. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
I think communication and connection are very close in theme and besides the recipients of your ATCs will gain much more joy from the receiving of a piece of art by someone than whether it closely matches a theme. Your phone booths design is gorgeous, love the contrast and how it pops from the background. P xxxxxx
Oh I love your ATCs - very cute. I had a weird conversation with the post lady when I mailed my ATCs (one is on it's way) where she said the new massicve stamps might be a way to encourage people to use larger envelopes (all mine were ATC size) and all too often the smaller ones get lost or mangled or left in the bags. I mean really. Isn't all mail MAIL? Shouldn't they take care of it no matter the size? I may have to make bigger envelopes next time as so far at least a couple of mine mailed have not been received yet... a worry for sure.
I really love Oxides. They are fab mixed with regular Distress inks too!
Happy start of year 14!!

I loved your ATC as we do occasionally communicate by phone and that is a connection as far as I’m concerned!! Love that card you’ve shared, the colour, image, sentiment…everything! Useful tips about the commenting problems too, I shall check the cookies out, thanks for sharing that.
Hugs LLJ 6 xx
Jo has my ATC from you still but we will be catching up soon I'm sure so thanks for that....i'm sure they fit the topic to perfection.
Hugs,
Annie x # 8
That is a great collection of ATCs Neet. Your take on the theme made sense to me lol! I love that aall and create stamp, I've used it a lot both alone and with other images, it's beautiful. Sending woyww hugs, Angela x14x
Thank you so much for the gorgeous ATC Neet, it fitted the theme perfectly and I would never have guessed you did your own theme this year!! The card is fabulous, I do love the Aall and Create stammps. Thanks for the info on blogger problems - I seem to sort one out and another appears. This week I discovered how to enable email notifications for comments (the box I used to tick on each post disappeared a few weeks ago) but goodness only knows how I did it!
Hope you have a lovely week,
Diana xx #17
Lovely display of ATC’s including yours. I do find technology puzzling at times, the usual reboot fixes a lot of things. Cookies of the technology type are a pain in the neck, generally I have them turned off, some cookies can be malicious. I like the home baked versions best 🤣. Happy WOYWW. Angela #16
Just looked and I don’t have cookies blocked on my IPad! I deleted all web history (I do it from time to time), but I forgot it wipes out your tabs as well, luckily I bookmark stuff I want to stay. Angela #16
Happy WOYWW. I haven't had any issues with commenting, so perhaps my Cookies are all present and correct already?! I am hungry now! One thing I am not decluttering is my small collection of papers that are coloured/embossed/marbled etc etc - I do like to use them for backgrounds. Ali x #22
Goood morning Neet 💕🥰🌈 happy WOYWW 🤗 gorgeous array of ATC's you have . Love mine from you 💕 and thought it summed up connections perfectly ⭐ Loving your work desk this morning, gorgeous vibrant colour ... toooo that beautiful card you created, loing it. Wishing you much joy in your days, lovd and hugs Tracy #20 xxxxx
P.S thank yooou for sharing about the comments ... I'm still having sone trouble,you're a star ⭐
We loved your ATC and of course you need a connection to make a phone call - so not so silly was it!! I'm glad folks are getting excited about the crop - the hall is booked - I just need to organise the other bits and bobs now! xx Jo
Loved your ATC, thanks so much. Mine are still waiting to be posted both snail and blogged!
have a good week
Christine #23
I saw your comment and funnily enough I thought the same thing that we have always swapped before so I don't know why we didn't this time but I know I need to make more next time! I have never had chance to go to the Crop before so very excited to be meeting everyone. take care. Hugs, Angela x14x
Lots of goodies on your workdesk this week. Blogger is really playing silly buggers just now, I have to keep fishing the comments out of the spam prison. Have a gret day, hugs, Valerie
Hi Neet. I am such a chump, I forgot to link up earlier. Your ATC'S are fab. So many lovely ones on all the blogs. I know you asked me a question last week and I promptly forgot. Anyway I did get comments from you. Thank you. Anne x 28
Thanks for the info on commenting problems - I'll get onto that in the morning. I found that I can only consistently comment on my old tablet. Great to see the variety of ATCs. Happy WOYWW, Chrisx
so many lovely ATCs and so colourful. love the clock card and great ATCs you have made,
Take care and stay safe,

Hi Neet, thanks so much for your visit! I'll keep the October 1st date in mind! Lovely ATC's received and I think yours fit the theme Connections just as perfectly as Communications. I do love old-fashioned British phone boxes - they're so iconic! Have a lovely week! xx zsuzsa #19
When I came up with Connection as a theme, I could easily have written communication instead Neet, they are very intertwining words aren’t they, and I think your fab ATCs are just the ticket, personally! I am still struggling with blog comments despite enabling cookies, and that makes me mad anyway, having to accept cookies that I dont want! Totally intrigued by the Project with a Friend, am loving the colours you’ve chosen to cut the text from, yummy and sunny!
A fabulous selection of ATC's that you received, Neet, and I do like yours... I went to the local optometrist the other day - that hurt the purse!!
I also discovered those unpublished comments amongst the published ones - I find that they are generally also in the spam box!! Now I check that daily also.
Love the background colour on your card, and that is a lovely stamp starring on it
Blessings
Maxine
Hi Neet! I think your ATCs say connection as much as communication - well done! Your desk looks nice and busy, looking forward to seeing your finished project! Have a great week, Lindart #26
Lovely ATCs Neet. Communication works for me as an aspect of connection. Take care
