Welcome fellow deskers to #397, hosted by Julia at the
STAMPING GROUND. Another quick Wednesday is upon us and a time we share our desks.
I am in the process of making Pretty & Pink ATC cards for a Valentine Swap...but I took away the cards for a later posting. Sorry .....Needless to say I have plenty of stash to work with and I am thankful as we are having ICE, WIND and most everything has come to a standstill. So was a good day to be home and get creative.
Left of my desk is a total mess. Papers stacked high and thankful for use of the floor.
I had to make a Sympathy card for a very dear friend, I lived next to in Cedar Rapids. She found her dad on Christmas Day, had him airlifted to ICU in Iowa City because of a brain bleed. He died a week later. She was my sons age and spent a lot of time with them and my heart was broken for her. He was 57 and a super guy. We shared lots of laughter, fun times and a few beers together many times. I was unable to attend the funeral, as we are 3 hrs away and we had ice, winds and snow.
Enjoy each day, and be grateful. We never know what's in store for us. And we all take so much for granted.
May you have a wonderful week, I'll no doubt be home bound another day, so will have to take down Christmas trees and clean !!! Thanks for stopping by.

Yes, Sylvia, we should live each day to the full and be thankful for it.
Sounds as if you have some terrible weather, and I thought it was bad here with the wind and rain rattling the windows.
Look forward to seeing the Valentine cards, all pretty in pink eh!
Hugs, Neet 4 xx
Hi Sylvia. What a shock for your friend. Gratitude is, I agree, a very important part of living.
I'm with you - stay indoors today and keep out of the cold. Our weather too, has suddenly turned - it's extremely windy today... so, yes, I, too, will be indoors playing. I'm looking forward to seeing all your pink ATCs - lots of bits left over which look exciting.
Take care. God bless.

Sounds like we are all losing loved ones ....think it's the time of year. In the last month we have lost four close family and friends. Your weather sounds rough....keep warm and cosy.
Hope you have a great week.

Hi Sylvia, so totally agree with your words at the end. We never know when we may have run out of opportunities to do and say the things we should. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #7 xxx
I try to live my life by your final words. They are so very true and we never know what lies just around the next corner. Thinking of you my friend.
Great WOYWW TFS. Happy New Year xx Jan
Beautiful card.
Loving the pink and red on your desk - nice and bright and cheery when everything is grey and dull.
Happy WOYWW

Lovely card, so sad that you had to make it. I have to make one for a friend of mine too. Your workroom looks like you are ready for lots of crafting fun! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #39
A beautiful card - such a sad time for you all. Yes, it makes me appreciate all I have and know I treasure every moment - we are so lucky. x Jo
so sorry for your loss... the card is perfect.. but it's all so sad and a good reminder to live life not and try not to take everything we have from granted.
Love the piles of papers.. floors are so necessary!
Have a great week,

Beautiful sympathy card. So sorry for your loss, Sylvia. You're right - we never know what's in store and should live each day to the fullest.
So very true and what a lovely card. Take care. Sez x #51
having moved to continental Europe from the UK we have 'missed' a number of funerals - however on the appointed day at the appointed time we walk the dog and share stories of our beloved person who is no longer with us... it's possible to mark the passing even if not present at the actually ceremony - and after all the important things were those beers and shared good times eh?

that's always the + on being snowed in, not feeling guilty of locking oyurself up in your craftroom, Happy WOYWW, Vicky #12
