WOYWW 705- Making Multiples

 WOYWW?

Clearly Christmas is here and ready to mail!

Love making, sending, and seeing them in folks homes!

The multiple issue- its not so much that its boring or time consuming, its that

the last one looks so much better than the first, I want to toss that one!

Posting individual shots for my own amusement!

Message me if you want details. 

I'm impressed i'm getting this posted!

Ho Ho Ho one and all.

I'll be traveling this year to visit the grands, so might not be digitally loyal!

The multiple!

WOYWW 702- How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

 WOYWW?

It's beginning to look a lot like....

My baby was 35 yesterday, and I get to care for her baby!(and how old does that make me feel) and it can be easy to start and not so much to finish.

Free Advice!

To blend red and green, add gold!

and if you still dont like it , cover the whole thing with perfect pearls/pearlex!

The peace thingy was going to be a card, now an ornament.

In a thanksgiving mood, my side of the pond, I'm eternally grateful for my collection of hand lettered calligraphy stamps by Suzanne Cannon.

You can sometimes find them on the web, and now in digital format.

It's still Wednesday here, and I hope to get around and visit some, even if mysteries of digital life don't let me leave a comment (or someone is crying !)

Comment and Questions always welcomed.

WOYWW 700!!! Be careful what you shake....

 WOYWW?

700! Quite an accomplishment.

The ornament looking thingy -that might go on a card, had a sentiment on it. I took it up to shake it, and discovered -when it disappeared- it wasn't glued on!

There is a message in there somewhere.

Cards in the making.

thanks to all the friendship and support of all deskers, visitors or not, commenters on not.

I know you are out there!

Here's to 700 more!

WOYWW-691-Birthday Wishes And Many more!

WOYWW? 

Dear Deskers!

Over the past 13 years many of you have become BFFs that I will never meet.

Along with visiting each week, we have gone though 

life changes , death, craft disasters, art emergencies,

and had a lot of fun.

The past year my focus has shifted to care and love for my grandchildren.

I forgot how much energy it takes to be in love!

Today is my birthday, and gifts and cake abound!

I have three wishes for y'all!

1. Cake! lots of Cake!

                                                  2. Friends to celebrate you no matter where you  are!

                                                                3. Self care and good health that we will live to see our grands       blogging on WOYWW!

Huge shout out to BFF Chris for the Eggnog cake! and PA friends for the fun gifts and always feeling held and remembered.

I'm going ot need a lot of TY ATC's!

Use it or lose it- I gave a way a die cut machine- I really dont need more than one, and I still have two,

and decided if I dont use the dies they will go with it, so you can see some die cutting in evidence.

Its been awhile since I worked for Spellbinders, and I can say, their early dies were lovely!

More gifts to open!

More friendship to cherish and enjoy!

More drool to wipe up.

and Happy birthday everyone!

Everyday we are Born, everyday we are free!

Connections is right up my ally and I loved how my ATC's turned out.

Birth Affirmation Cards.

Following my Brave Girl card policy, I used backgrounds from what is left on my desk, and asked Mom to be to choose the affirmations.

WOYWW 658- Let's Be Brave in 2022!

 WOYWW?

Happy New Year y'all!

Starting off with Brave Girl Cards as I know we are going to need them.

You can see the big sibling card to the pine cone in my 

Quietfire Digital post

Here

A designer asked me to knit her pattern to proof it, I spun the yarn, which I loved, the hat, well, lets say the pattern needs some work, and it will go to my local thrift shop that has a handmade gallery to raise money for the kids in our valley, so win, win.

Big love to all as we do our best to be kind to ech other and stay well!

I still have trouble leaving comments on some blogger sites- and I so enjoy visiting even if I cant comment.
