(not very inspiring I know)
I did a failsafe in case I ran out of time, and printed off the logo to cover a pen pot and made a WOYWW rose to stick on the front,
out of paper - I printed 6 small copies of the logo at work (my printer at home isn't working), guessing at the size but they were just the right size for the small Wendy V flower.
You can see it a bit better in the photo below.
Then at the weekend I decided that was a rubbish effort and made this tag - trying to reproduce the colours in distress inks as best I could, which I haven't succeeded with as you can see!
I've found some more drawers you haven't seen yet, too, (I had to crawl under the table that my computer is on to do this. Well, not crawl right under, but move a load of crap and get right down on the floor. It's also not taken today as I had to make sure I did it in daylight. However, there's no moving these drawers. They contain (left hand side, green - embossing powders (rarely used - all sorts of colours, sparkles, you name it) glitters, beads, etc etc) and (right hand side, red - glues, scissors, daubers, sponges, pens (probably all run dry they've been there so long)
Finally, my new toy - couldn't let that pass without record could I!
The Tattered Floral dies only turned up yesterday (Tuesday) so I haven't had time to play yet!
I hope I will be able to get round you all today and see what you've all made. No doubt your anniversary pieces will all be stunning.
(EDIT - sorry about all the gaps, I can't get rid of them!)

Using the logo was a smart idea. I bet you're going to love the tattered floral dies, too. Thanks for showing us your drawers. They are filled to rim, too.
Oh, now that's a clever idea to print off the logo! Love it!
Love your annual challenge piece, the logo and colours really stand out and the flower is a great idea in the same colours. You got your BigShot then, you will love it especially when you start using the Tattered Florals, they are fantastic. Thanks for the snoop again Helen. Have a great day, Tracy Evans x x
Lovely colours on your WOYWWACs - hope you have fun playing with your tattered florals :-D
i'm excited to see what you do with those dies!!! very cute piece too, i totally love that you've used the background pattern to the WOYWW logo - genius idea xxx
Love your WOYWWAC pot. What a brilliant idea. :)
Hope you have a lovely Wednesday. Hugs, Gez.xx
The pot is great and we all need some.Bet you could start a production line.Can you measure that tattered floral for me and let me know the size as I'd love to know if those dies would fit through my wizard and the info is thin on the ground.That tattered florals is so tempting. Hugs BettyXXX
Oh Helen that's a great desk adornment..see, I went back into my archive to try and find the original artwork (designed by Sissy and sent as a jpeg) and I couldn't.....never occurred to me to just print the button!! Brilliant!!! Lovely new toy...hope you can make some room for the sudden rush of new dies you're going to have to have!
Hey Helen,
You are right. I SHOULD have called my WOYWWAC doll Julia, but Wendy was the only name that actually fit the acronym. I'm hoping Julia will understand. After all, she could have put a J in the acronym to make it easier to name my dolll (grin).
oh great pen pot love it love cheryl x
What a clever thought to print out the logo and use the result to create your WOYWWAC ....love it
what a great idea to use the button logo, i would never have thought of that.
Very clever, love your new dies. ikki x
