WOYWW - Preparations

Hello there. It's Horace here for the weekly blog hop that is WOYWW. Click the link if you want to find out more about this addictive phenomenon.

We've volunteered ourselves to be part of a Blog hop over at UKS, a scrapbook forum. We were so pleased when they decided to allow bears to participate, although we're not sure they know what on earth they've let themselves in for!

Anyway, on the bear's desk this week is my secret project for the blog hop, which is due to go live on 15th April. Check out UKS if you haven't already, it's so much more than just a scrapbook forum, and has a wealth of information on many crafts.

Without giving too much away, on the bears desk there is some washi tape in various colours - I love this stuff but seem to hoard rather than use it! There is also some tissue paper, a canvas, some stamps.... So my project may just be a 'how to' on decorating a canvas, and possibly, maybe, some tissue paper stamping. If you'd like to see the finished project please do come back and visit on the 15th April. It's our first ever blog hop, so we're not sure how we'll manage, and depending on how we are received, it may be our last!!


Can you see the phone book on the desk? It was delivered through the door the other day, how kind of them to post us a handy gluing and wiping book! As you can see, I'm listening to tunes on the ipodgy, I find it helps with the creative process, although Podgy says he may start charging the other bears to listen to it!

Oh, what am I wearing? Well you can't take part in a blog hop and not wear suitable travelling clothes, hence my special space suit, perfect for hopping around all the other blogs.


In fact, while I'm wearing my travelling suit, I may as well take advantage and go hopping round some WOYWW desks.

With love from the bears.

  4. hi there Horace,

    - did you know I have a bear called Horace but he is a very tiny bear not even as big as my hand!
    .. he was made by my grandmother about thirty years ago - he would not need a space suit as he is quite comfy in Oz thank you :D

    ...have fun with the tissue paper hope you dont get too much on your paws now! Happy 200 WOYWW Shaz in oz x.

    PS as this is blog hop too can't see you will do anything but well at t'other one :D

    1. Anything that needs gluing, we place it on a page in the phone book to spread the glue, anything that needs inking gets the same treatent, ditto stamping onto tissue paper. It acts as a handy book of scrap papers. Once one page is dirty, just flip to the next. :)

  9. I'm wondering how this washi mixes with fur? Think my bears may get in a sticky mess...

  11. Oh Horace, you look very fetching in your orange travel suit and I bet that hood has come in very handy for keeping your ears warm while all that snow has been around. Thinks I might have to get one of those for myself…..mind you, I don’t think Orange is my colour.

    Intriguing, this canvas you’re working on for the Bears first blog hop, but judging by those lush washi tapes, it’s going to be something gorgeous. Can’t wait to see it when it’s done.
    Thanks for stopping by this week.
    Happy Crafting!

  21. I've no doubt you'll be an absolute hit on the UKS hop... and you've got the right protective clothing, just to be on the safe side, so what could possibly go wrong?!

    I'm totally with you on the hoarding of the washi tape... it occasionally gets let out to play, but it's hard to let it go!!
