WOYWW # 704

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.

OK, Sylvia, if you give me a doggie picture, I will only have eyes for the dog!!! Having now read your post, it's so-so sad. Inevitably, when we decide to have pets, this is something we have to accept, but it's never easy :((( Love the intricate butterfly diecut and the purple-themed cards! Thanks so much for visiting earlier and being my first commenter today! xx zsuzsa

Oh dear so sad to hear about Harley. It is way over 20 years since I lost my Oliver but the heartache is still there when i think of him. I was on my own then and he was my constant companion, my very best friend. You can be yourself with animals, tell them how you feel, everything can be discussed with them and they just look at you with those soulful eyes. I am thinking of you.
Hope the pesky butterfly cuts out better once it gets used. Have you tried moving it about on the plate when cutting - sometimes the sides are better for pressure.
Take care, Hugs, Neet 3 xx

Sorry to hear about your beloved dog, it is so sad when they go. I still miss my QC as she used to sit on my craft table when I was working, if fact thinking about it I haven't done much crafting since she went. Hope your daughter enjoys the UK sorry but it is not my country anymore. Ani

Ah now I understand your melancholy about not getting excited about Christmas, it is always sad when you lose a pet, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Loving the Rolodex cards as I especially love purple. Seeing a lot of these about and can now see why they are good for crafting. Your roll-about-shelf looks really useful and full of Christmas goodies too, hope that gives you some incentive.

I never have much luck with such intricate dies, hope the extra run throughs help.

For the record when our son said he wasn't coming home for Christmas nor his birthday (on 21st) I was a little downhearted. He's only here this weekend as he's going to a concert tonight with his Dad in London. But then I realised that we usually do the decs for Advent anyways and that he'd get to see them too so it really helped lift my mood.

Oh I’m sorry to read that Harley has left you, it’s very hard isn’t it, the other dogs missing him too, makes your heart hurt a bit more doesn’t it. Glad the journeying wasn’t too arduous, it makes me happy to read that you feel the love from your family. That butterfly die is indeed intricate, I’ve no doubt you’ll do loads with it and make me think I should have one too!! Your Rolodex purple challenge has been amazing, and I’m really looking forward to your unboxing and Christmas work now!
