The sharp-eyed among you will notice a new profile pic...
Meet Quinlan* my new companion and helper.
He's already making himself very useful, sorting out my supplies...
He's an early birthday gift to myself (using hoped-for pennies from Dad!). He's handmade by Rowan over at BearBovis, and I already love him dearly!
Speaking of birthdays - can I direct you to my Birthday Giveaway? Either follow this link or click the new button on the right sidebar - I didn't want to clutter up this post with details, since I'm trying to keep it short!
Now, I'm heading straight over to Julia's Stamping Ground to see what you lovely WOYWWers have been up to this past week. I managed to visit over 100 desks last week (a record for me!), but several links didn't open, so I apologize for not visiting/commenting, but I did try :)
Till next week xxxx
*Quinlan is Gaelic for 'a gently shaped fellow', which means 'eminently huggable', in my book ;-D

Hi Claire,
Congrats on being number one!!! And Happy Birthday on top of that!!
I did notice your new profile photo and what a lovely name for a lovely fellow! Is there a female version of the name? Perhaps I should change mine..

I collect bears, mainly TY beanie bears, but some others too, and I LOVE your new bear friend!! So, you are number one...how in the world do you do that! And visiting 100 desks, I know is hard, as I managed to visit all the desks one time. One time only! It was a few months ago. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #42
