#709 What's On Your Workspace Wednesday

Welcome, it's Wednesday !  I think I'm back to a somewhat normal life. Oh not really, I still have all of Christmas up.  Loving the little lights  and we've had a lot of darkness here. 

My desk top cutting strips to make a masterboard

The finished products. I will cut them into 3x3 squares to make Inkbox cards for a daily January theme of "Winter" at the Collage ArT Collective. There are  to the left. I usually post also to Instagram (love the short posts there) and Facebook. I finished up the Rolodex cards for December.  I enjoy working on "Tiny" spaces.  The Weekly  Collage in a bigger form with special weekly prompts seem time consuming to me as I look to long for the items to work with.  I hope to go back to making journals.

And my regular desk, a complete chaotic mess. Prepare these a few days ahead of time  

Of course if you want to visit more desks, head over to Ms. Julia's HERE at STAMPING GROUND lots of fun spots. 

Apologies for no visits last week, we left to have breakfast, shop and get ready for forecast of ICE storms, high winds. Here in country if we lose electricity we have no water, so bottle up for our use. He has to do special things for the Cattle and their little ones. Thank goodness most of it didn't happen, delayed out each day for about a 5 days and we ended up with Tuesday rain, 34 degrees turned to ice covered yards, but winds missed us so trees were all ok. No road travels were advised. 

Then I ended up with Vertigo and did nothing but be in darkness and quietness.  I am anxious to travel !!!  Seems calm today, it's still dark here at 6 a m.  

Thanks for stopping by;

It's 708 at WOYWW

Good Morning, it's 6 30 am and I truly slept all night. Sharing our desks today, by way of Stamping ground 

I quick went down to take a couple of photos, feed Bailey and was glad this computer hadn't shut down. It takes SO LONG to reboot.

Here was working on the kitchen table, much warmer. Tried decorating a few tea bags. One will be reworked at the string does not show colors well. Some new little stamps of snowmen

A small table near a heater downstairs, trying to make a collage. The larger ones I think too much time locating the 5 prompts. It's why I make the tiny rolodex. No prompts and done in a short time.

My normal desk CLEANED OFF from the Kayos of Christmas 

A snow scene from a nearby town that has a well known GROTTO Our weather has been a real challenge for wind and cold. Prayers for Buffalo New York. 4 ft, no electricity, 34 deaths so so sad. 

 Wishing you all a wonderful New Year

In the post just below was a few family photos from my Christmas wishes. We spent Christmas alone as the weather was way to bad to be traveling, We couldn't even make it to Christmas Mass with the huge drifts. 

I'll be around to visit later, we are off to the City for breakfast and a bit of shopping.   Thanks for stopping by

Merry Christmas.

Some greetings for my special visitors.

My Sons and Families.  

Thanks for the visit. May You and Yours  Enjoy the Season

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood ! 3:45 A M here but I am wide awake and full of energy, but have to be very quiet, hubby and cat are asleep. It's the day we share our desks, mostly for me with the girls across the pond.

Our special hostess Ms Julia HERE gathers us together for sharing and caring. 

My desk, the floor and a few tag creations and I guess we'll start backwards.

Backside above of this card below

Oh the floor, it's cleaned up from last week, but handy to have close to my chair The red tins are from candy I always purchase at Christmas time. And little Ephrem, bits and pieces of holiday cheer !  Haven't been anywhere to shop for anything Christmas.  Our weather is turning bad the next few days  -35 with winds, and snow travel is not advised, so we'll surely be home for Christmas alone. Maybe 1/2 price presents this year !  Below is mostly tiny little pieces for my little art

My Rolodex from yesterday. This little art has been such a daily fun.

I'll be creating more December art, cards, tags and prepare a little for next season and maybe a craft sale. Then clean up and start some Journals.

And I want to Wish YOU and YOURS a Very Merry & Happy Christmas

I am thankful for your friendship. Wishing you All Peace and Happiness

Christmas Collage

I've worked on a few Christmas cards for some elderly friends in our area, made Chex mix,  Tuna Salad for lunch and 2 loads of laundry. Now I need to get that crafty space in some kind of order. 

Hope all is well your way, have a fantastic weekend.

Good Day to You, Forgot it's Wednesday, so scrambled around for photos.

All the visits for our group can be located HERE  I hope the remainder of the day goes better than 5am to 5:30am... PC not very speedy today, lots of hold ups.  I need to up grade and get rid of Chrome. 

I've a real creative mess in my crafty spaces.

 The start of a few homemade Christmas cards.

December Rolodex

A fabric bowl great video at Altered States Studio  Kristin Peterson

A couple of fabric trees my mom made years ago

Sorting fabric to make a few trees and more fabric bowls.  

Some great weather the past week and I am almost done decorating. one more Nativity to set up in our TV area and I will call it quits.  

But this one below was something I made in ceramics in the early 1970's, gave it to my parents and it displayed well set up near there big Victorian fireplace.  It's been in a tote several years as it came home with me the maker as I've no real space big enough to display it. BUT this year I crammed it together in our family room  

2 of the camels are 9 inches tall and a few of the wisemen  8 inches. The Angel needs to be hung but did not want to stay on the peak so must work on a new solution.  

Have a wonderful week, we may go today or tomorrow to finish up a few gifts and have lunch out, as snow is predicted for Friday/Sat.

Welcome to the day we share our workspaces.  HERE is where we link up to have our fun.

The week flew by, the ups out weighted the downs.

  My workspace got cleaned off:  Purple Rolodexes done, we'll have new a color December 1st   UPS delivered an Amazon order in 3 days !!! I love this butterfly and have never been able to order one. Need to pass it thru a few more times as it is very intricate. 

This is a roll about book holder, I am using it for Christmas papers, and the shelf at the bottom holds lots of Christmas tools/dies/embossing folders,etc

And this beautiful dog, was our down side of things, he crossed over the rainbow bridge and left my son and family and ME,  so much heartache and sadness.  I made the trip to see them, he had 2 seizures the day before and was gone. The Brittany's captured my heart back in the 90's, Harley was 14 and my special friend when I visited, or when he came to see us. We will always miss him.  

Otherwise my drive to and from was good, great warm weather and a strong feeling of being loved by that family.  Cami had a basketball game, and we went for Excellent Mexican food, we all laughed and had a great time. But quietness once we were back home, the 2 Corgi's 3 & 1yr were so quiet and I think in wonderment of where their elder was.  But life goes on  Daughter in Law will leave 2nd Dec for the UK....work involved for 2 wks so hoping for good weather for her travels.  Was wishing I could go with.

The last of my Nov rolodex purple paper collages. 

Wishing you all the best, enjoy each day, hug your loved ones, call the ones far away and CREATE CHRSITMAS fun .  I'll work on unboxing tomorrow.

Welcome, it's another Wednesday to share our workspaces.  Ms Julia has all the info HERE.

Was really under the weather last week.3 days of Flu I guess.  Back to feeling great with ambition to get fall decor put away, deep cleaning most rooms (oh the dust) and with temps in the 40's maybe windows later today. 

My desk:  and this crafty space has way to much stuff misplaced, will be a clean up day when I get back. And on to "Christmas" decor/crafty fun.

I've been creating daily rolodex cards for Collage Art Collective

the theme November Purple Paper.

                    Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday 

I've most all posted on Instagram and Facebook   

I posted this today, getting ready for a Holiday here in the USA

Thanksgiving Day.  Always a favorite fall pie Pumpkin.

We gave no family plans, so will be a quiet day here.

I am hoping Friday to travel 3 hrs to see Son and family

Grand daughter (Senior) has a basketball game, Cael to the right is home from college and I have a fun game and French book to take to the middle guy (Freshman). Miss them all so much.  

Hubby cannot go, he is weening calves and not sure they'll be content with him gone. Lots of bellering when separated from their mothers. And possible jumping fences etc.     Hope all is well your way. Stay Safe
