Happy WOYWW Everyone! That is short for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday, the brilliant blog hop initiated by our lovely hostess, Julia at The Stamping Ground….and you can see all the deets there.

This week, I am happy to report all my Christmas cards are done  Now, that is not to say I may still play around with some ideas, as I have 4 stamps new this year that I haven’t even inked yet…and I did make that vow that I’d be far more prepared for the craft fair and general card making in the future …but at least the pressure is off. Well, now I have to make them out and send them, but you know…

So what you do see now (and now that I’m looking, I really do hope those ink pad lids are closed!) is the birthday card I literally whipped up for our orchestra conductor, whose birthday is the same as Beethoven’s, and for our last concert of the season we will be celebrating both with a big cake and snacks… And for once I can say thank heavens for patterned layout paper, as that is the background for the card.  I really didn’t do much to it at all; just the happy birthday stamp, put a bit more color on the violin, and stamped the inside. 
And, not that you can really tell, but yes, there are a few more jars of the distress paint holding up that little drawer that holds my distress foam applicators.  6 more,, thanks to Joann’s wonderful 40% sales.  While I’ll be at the Cape this weekend having Christmas with my Husband’s family, I swear I will be cracking those babies open in the next week…so stay tuned! LOL!

Have a great week everybody!

Once again, or still….my desk is the flurry of assembly line card production!  This week: card fronts I took to work to color on my lunch hours and was planning to finish Sunday, but then I had to make a sympathy card for my husband’s boss.  So hopefully tonight I’ll finish up these stacks...and then only 15 more to make! Note to self…print out address labels.

The card with the calla lily, mid left, was going to be the sympathy card, but I decided it didn’t work…but I forgot to take a picture of the one he’ll send instead. And the Christmas tree in the back, a card that will go in my departments office party door prize basket…maybe…not sure I’m liking it at the moment. Also true now looking at the trains…need more color…maybe red in the oval instead of yellow….hmmmmm.

And the Scotch Mounting tape…the roll I SWORE I bought a little while ago (but not a year ago) but couldn’t find after fruitless hours of searching...I found it in my little carry case I put my projects in take to work…so yes, a year ago.. So, yay, not totally losing my mind: always good to know.  And no...still haven't touched the Distress paints....but soon, my pretties...sooon!

So, there it is, in its perpetual busy state.  Perhaps after the New Year I’ll be able to neaten up a tad….but that won’t be a Resolution! LOL! Have a great week everybody!
