What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday # 707. The nearly Christmas edition.....

Welcome to our weekly Wednesday Blog Hop - WOYWW. Here's the link to the one responsible, the lovely Julia at Stamping Ground - pop on over and join in, see what it's all about and join in yourself.

Well, I have never been this late posting but felt I had to stop by this week and say Merry Christmas - mind you I will still be getting round till Christmas Eve at this rate!! Lucky me, I have just been insanely busy doing nice seasonal things (hence being AWOL last 2 weeks) and then when I got up this morning I couldn't find my glasses. As these are a permanent fixture on my face except when in bed I could NOT understand what had happened to them. Cue panicked searching, random tidying, cursing - long story short, when hubby finally stripped the bed totally to change the sheets as we had completely wrecked it searching he found them nestled in the duvet. I dunno how. I am at a loss. We already looked in the bed 3 times. Well, I was so late for a lunch date by then no time to post this morning!!

So are you all ready for the big day? Pretty much done here, it will be low key again this year. My favourite sister (should one say that?) has drawn the Christmas rota at her new job as a police 999 operator and my nephew also will be working at Wormwood Scrubs. Another nephew will be with his girlfriend. So they will be missing, no mum of course and only 7 for lunch which is small by our usual standards.  

So to the desk: 


Not much crafting going on here, but I am trying to repair a few decs that didn't make it through. You can also see that a few Lavinia treats arrived yesterday from Countryview crafts. The bags at the back (which I did not make, life is too short) are for table presents.

We've got a lot of new games to try out this year so I'm quite looking forward to a few sessions over the holidays as the workers are mostly home. And some quiet time in the craft room. Bliss.

Just remains to say have a wonderful Christmas. See you soon!! Love n hugs Cindy xx

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, despite absent faces at the table. Glad you found the glasses... I hate it when you look everywhere for something and then it's in the first place.... Love and hugs Helen #1

Well it’s nice that you made it today but you made me hoot with the specs story! I’ve often done similar with keys in my handbag…sigh…. Hope you have a marvellous Christmas with your folks, here’s to a happy and healthy 2023!!

Looks you are set for a wonderful Christmas, even if there will be just a few of you. We like games at Christmas too! You have been very busy, and I love your desk full of Lavinia! Merry Christmas, Lindart #17

I love games especially at Christmas but unfortunately the family do not share my view. Have you room for one more please?
Ooh Cindy, I did laugh about the glasses, just the sort of thing that happens here, both of us do daft things like that. Makes you wonder how you missed them so many times doesn't it.
Anyway - have a lovely Christmas
Hugs, neet 2 xx

Love the Lavinia Stamps goodies - I bet you'll have a lot of fun playing with those. I can just imagine the panic over your specs - mine are constantly disappearing - it's so frustrating isn't it.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas, despite the reduced numbers,
Hugs, Diana xx #11

I’m very happy that you’ve had a fun and sociable month, not only do you deserve it, but it’s a gorgeous way to get winter over with isn’t it! Your glasses story made me laugh, I’m so there with you when you can’t understand how. This morning I went to wash my hands and actually squeezed toothpaste on to my hand before realising it as t soap. OMG. I love the circular hanging ornament on your desk, it looks so tactile. Have a lovely if quieter Christmas, looking forward to some reviews on the games! Xxx

Thanks so much for the card! Looks like I forget to photo it to add to WOYWW this week but I will try to remember for the next one. DOH! None of us are super crafty this week, which is to be expected. Back to normal soon, I'm sure!
Late WOYWW, sorry - COVID in da' house :(

Happy Healthy Merry Christmas to you!

And you think 7 is small, just the 2 of us here as son not coming home. Did you send me a Christmas card perchance as I received one with noting written inside. Not feeling my best so going to bed now. Have a Merry Christmas. BJ#9
