WOYWW #390

Welcome fellow deskers !  Julia at the STAMPING GROUND our  hostess for this Wednesday event, and you can join in by posting or visiting others. She has all the info on her blog.

What a week last week was...was gone everyday but this week I've no intentions of leaving. Our weather changed last Friday with 50 mph winds and a 20 degree drop in temp.  We lost a few BIG  branches and our TV antenna. Monday/Tuesday here it has been windy and bitter cold, but I am thankful as no ice or snow, it is all staying north of us.

I have had some time to be creative, even have the start of something on my desk this week. Click to enlarge it if you want the "Big Picture" !!  Some have asked where I got the wooden holders for my inks.  Resale shops..I don't spend much on new things, most were cassette tape holders and are now hard to find. My hope is to paint them antique white, but anything with all those shelves is work. So I know it won't be this winter.

Angels, lace, sparkle, antique tin tarts, and more embellishments to make a few ornaments.

I've mailed my ATC's for the swap "A Vintage White Christmas"  I'll have a post by Thursday on these.

And I made a card for a friends 50th Birthday

Has been a fun week being creative.  Plus I've boxed up all my autumn decor and no doubt tomorrow I'll be putting up Christmas.  I do most every room so it takes me a week or so.  Here in the states Thursday is THANKSGIVING.  We will spend time with my Mother, have dinner with her at her Assisted Living.  I enjoyed 2 days last week with my son and his family in Cedar Rapids and they wanted to finish up the new family room and bath in their new home. The kids don't have activities and with  4 days  they can catch up on rest also !  Weather is iffy, ice/snow and I don't like them travelling 3 hrs, with kids and the dog.

My next projects are 2 Sympathy cards for our neighbor gal and her parents. Her brother died at the age of 27, I worked with him a few years back and I am in awe of his death. They are not back in the area as yet so I don't know many details.

Thanks for all who commented/visited last week.  May you have a fun WOYWW today and to all who celebrate  HAPPY THANKSGIVING and enjoy BLACK FRIDAY if you are a shopper.  I will be comfy and safe  in my warm home and shop online!!!  I don't like the mad crowds, long lines and erratic drivers.
