This is the state of the desk on this 5th Anniversary of WOYWW... yep, boxed up and ready to go!
This is the rest of the room... the packers come in next Tuesday and load onto the shipping container on the Wednesday, so this will be my last WOYWW from Australia.
Here is the PIF ATC for the name below mine with an asterisk.. I have sent all the others out already and saved this one for today so its just a case of popping it in the post.
Here is the lovely Pandora, she had her 5th Birthday on Monday this week... and she is not looking forward to her flight home... :(
Tom-Tom says he will cope as long as there are treats at the end of it... don't think he has figured out that he gets picked up next Monday and flown to Sydney, then they stay in Sydney till their flight on Wednesday to Heathrow... where they get checked over and then boarded for the night and have to catch a flight to Aberdeen in the morning of the 6th June when we will also arrive and go and fetch them from the terminal. Poor little things....
Happy 5th Anniversary of WOYWW to you all but especially to Julia, thank you for thinking o f it, and keeping it going!
OMGosh. I just realized you sent me an ATC. I haven't opened it, so was unaware it was from you. But it is here, and has been for two days. For some reason, I thought it was from Sandra De.
ReplyDeleteI was delighted to read that both Pandy and Tom-Tom don't have to stay in quarantine for six weeks or six months or any time, other than the time it takes for you to fetch them in Aberdeen.
I stopped by earlier, and saw you hadn't posted, so wondered how you were going to have a PIF when you had no number. DUH!! Dumb blond moment.
Happy 5th WOYWW and many, many more.
Well, off you go again, you will be missed, travel safely.
ReplyDeleteI did get your ATC, thought I better let you know now. LOVE it my dear.

Have a safe travel and your poor kitties have to wait in layovers till they can get to their new home. Beautiful ATC you created to :) hugs Nikki no # yet
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW 5! No number yet, our intrepid organizer is doing the late shift today it would seem and we are all early birds in anticipation! Travel home safe and hope your two dear kitties survive their stop overs with their treats and glad to see they don't have to spend time in quarantine.
ReplyDeleteYour fur babies must be two of the most well travelled pud-tats there are - safe journey to you all.
ReplyDeleteLovely ATC Annette.

Can't wait for your next post to say you have Tom- Tom and Pandy safe with you. At least they are used to this travelling lark - do think you should tot the miles up for them some time.
ReplyDeleteLove my atc and what a terrific one you have done for your PIF.
Will be thinking of you when you start your journey home and hope there is a little something waiting for you from me.
Hugs, Neet xx
Safe travelling and happy landings! Hope the puss cats will be ok though they must be used to it....
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the fab comments and support over the past couple of years...I love being part of WOYWW!
It's such a blast isn't it? I love being part of it - this WOYWW madness!
ReplyDeleteSafe travelling and happy landings :-)

ReplyDeleteI cannot even imagine what it must be like to pack up and fly across the world with all your 'stuff'' not to mention the cats.
ReplyDeleteI hope it goes well and you arrive in 'sunny' Aberdeen safe and well.
Happy anniversary and good luck

I honestly don't know how you cope with all the moving around. Safe journey home. A very Happy 5th Anniversary to you Annette.
ReplyDeleteFiona #19
I love my ATC and gifts..thank you again. Am a bit despondent for you with all the packing, it's all so quick! Still, it will be nice to be home a while huh. And I'm very glad tat I'm not the Pandy-cat handler in Sydney!!
ReplyDeleteHi Annette,
ReplyDeleteFarewell from Australia! I hope you enjoyed your time here! But with WOYWW everyone is only a keyboard away.
Hope you (and those gorgeous kitties), travel well.

Happy Anniversary. Safe journey back to UK. Hope kitties will be OK. Anne x #41 ( I think keeps changing :-) )
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm amazed you can even think about ATCs with all that going on. I hope the travel - for you and the kitties - goes well, and you soon feel settled, with all your crafting goodies around you. Hugs, Chris # 15
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that is such a sad picture of packed crafty stuff :-( I do hope you have a safe journey and that the Kitties will be safe too :-)

Awww...Pandora is so adorable! You've done a great job boxing up. I hope your move goes smoothly and the kitties are not too traumatized. Happy WOYWW Fifth Anniversary! Sandy Leigh #85
ReplyDeleteOh the poor dears. :( I dont like to fly either so i will be thinking of them. Save journey for you and all the family, annette. your atc arrived! Love it! hugs and happy 5th woyww! nan g #77 (my girls are all wide eyed in horror of the adventure your kitties will be embarking on) :)
ReplyDeleteGosh my heart goes out to you all having to travel but poor Pandora and Tom Tom, give them a cuddle from me will you please. So much happening and you are concerned about ATCs, I would be off the planet making sure my babies and art supplies are sorted and fine. Why can't you stay in Australia this is not fair. Boo hoo and I have not meet you in person either and you have travelled so far. I do hope you babies and you have safe travels.
ReplyDeleteHugs Eliza & Yoda #8

Hi Annette, you seem extremely well organised for the move. Happily, you are returning home to Aberdeen at probably the best time of year so hopefully it won't feel too chilly for you all. I hope all goes well and I wish you, Pandora and Tom Tom a safe journey. Elizabeth x #97
ReplyDeleteHappy 5th WOYWW! Hope you move goes well! And hope the kitties have an uneventful trip, too!
ReplyDeleteCarol N #78
Awwww, I feel so bad for the kitties traveling all that time. I hope they cope well.
ReplyDeleteYour ATCs are very nice and your packing looks so organized. Hopefully the moving will go smoothly for the humans as well!
Happy 5th Woyww-versary,
Sandy #33
I am very impressed by your efficency! I hope you all have an easy time of your move. Beautiful ATCs! Happy WOYWW 5!
ReplyDeleteDropping by to greet you a happy 5th WOYWW anniversary! I think you win the prize for the WOYWWer with the most moves! Have a safe trip, kitties and all!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Jeez. FINALLY I can get your blog to open for me. It's driving me MAD this morning. Anyway, I am double checking with Julia to see if there was an envelope for you at the crop - I just cannot remember and I didn't make a note of it. But I also have NO IDEA if you are in one place long enough to mail the swap ATC if not (and where that place might be LOL!) so give me an address and if I find there wasn't an envelope for you there I'll drop it in the mail.
ReplyDeleteI do NOT envy you the packing...again!
Got totally ambushed yesterday so late to the party. I hope this shows up...
Happy 5 year WOYWW!
Mary Anne (2)
hahaha My craft room looks like your house at the moment, covered in boxes but life has been so busy. So sad to know that you are leaving Brisbane just as I am arriving, would have loved to have caught up with you for a coffee. If you still have time I would love to. I am in Geebung.
ReplyDeleteHappy travels and see you on WOYWW in England
Hugs
Bridget #112
Oh Goodness - you've done well to go through all the packing again, but hey! you'll soon be set up and ready to craft again. Happy 5th WOYWW and safe journey to you all! Chris59
ReplyDeleteWow, what a big move for you and those adorable fur-babies. I hope it's not all too stressful for them! Your ATCs look great, too bad my name wasn't below yours! Lindart #113
ReplyDelete2000 Quilt! I don't believe in rushing things! LOL!

Hi Annette, sorry for the late visit. Thanks for swinging by my blog. Good luck with the move. We moved our kitties from London to NYC last year, not as far, they were a bit traumatised but very happy to see us. Happy 5 Year WOYWW. Cx #91
ReplyDeleteOff you go again! Still hopefully this way can do a trip up to see family then pop in for a cup of tea and meet the cats, especially Pandora. Her age just reminds me of mine with my birthday on Wednesday and her 40 years behind me. Hope you all have a safe trip xx
