WOYWW # 864

         

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #864



Not much change again from last week - but I have added a few more bits to that collage - I think I am on Day 22


I have placed a card on my desk to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
I made this with my Cricut Joy with some extra embellishing.


I have heard that all my cards have been arriving and our Christmas newsletter is here if you wish to read it.
It is about 5pm on Christmas Eve here - my last Euflexxa  injection was this morning - they should begin to really kick in in about 3 weeks - let's hope so!

I have just been out in the garden picking - and these are surplus to requirements so we have put them out for the neighbours...


I have been doing a little bit of crafting: I made some curtains for my daughter's garage...


a tree decoration:


and some mushrooms...


The rest of my 'to do' list has now been put to one side - Christmas with the family tomorrow then Kevin Sophie and I are off on holiday over New Year to the Adelaide area.

All for now... but I will try and get around everyone this week!

Happy WOYWW and Season's Greetings!

Conjurer of Dreams December Challenges

      

I am sharing a little of what I have made for the Conjuror of Dreams DT.

You will see more of the things I have made with Conjurer Of Dreams images today...
 However the optional month's challenge is Winter Wonder


This is what I made - an x fold card based on this tutorial from Beccy's Place.


I have lots of photos of this - in the envelope it looks like this


The ribbon is untied to see the four quadrants



It can be tied again so the base lies flat and it has four sections....





I used paper from my stash and die cut snowflakes plus images from Winter Window polaroids.



My next make was a small junk journal using pages fixed together with tape - actually an IKEA measuring tape. I then added pages of gel plate pulls...


I then added a variety of images.




These are from Christmas Deer




These are from Snowy Owl




These are from the Fairy Christmas Cabinet.

 LeighSB Designs #47 Challenge Celebrate the Season or Anything Goes


Here is my card:



Today's card uses the Aspenglow image. 



I printed the image and trimmed it, adding it to layers of silver and patterned paper.
I cut out the sentiment and added that on silver to the card.



I will add this to Leigh's Linky

WOYWW #863

        

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #863


Not much change from last week - but there is a workshop kit at the front ready to do - and a nice Christmas serviette which I may add to a candle...

I am continuing with that 2020 Trovember


These were the second 7 days:



The sprinkle of circles I shared last week became these cards:


I have now put nearly all my cards in the post - I just need to write our Christmas newsletter which I put online.

To be honest with the Euflexxa  injections I don't seem to have had any time to do much crafting or anything. I have just finished week 2 which has meant three 10am appointments on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Third week next week, finishing on Christmas Eve. 

Then it was husband Kevin's 75th Birthday on Saturday - we had a family barbecue.


Fingers crossed I will visit you all this week...I don't think I managed last week. 
Two last photos - me enjoying a special treat of an espresso martini - and a Christmas tree in the sunshine...


All for now... 
Happy WOYWW!
