WOYWW 656-Thanks for the memories!

 WOYWW?

This christmas is almost another one!

Memory that is.

Beautiful flowers from SIL's parents. I just love red!

Almost all christmas supplies put away today, brave girl cards in the making, and these few projects looking for homes.

I'm mostly staying at home with Covid again raging, and wanting to stay negative in a good way to be there for my daughter expecting in February!

Merry and happy everything to y'all!

WOYWW- 653- All ATC Christmas and other Fa La La

 WOYWW?

Does your desk look like this?

i'm usually a tidy creator, and somehow at christmas I like to see as much as possible of what I have!

This is a long post for me, as I might not be much in evidence before Christmas(who knows).

I'm in love with so many of my cards this year, and I'm gong to try something new-

randomly sending them, not picking the right card for the right person.

Somehow iIm thinking that will make it easier to send them off.

I still cry every time my children leaves and my baby is about to have a baby!

I have an adorable little box with a secret pocket on the

Quietfire Digital blog today.

Will there be a digital cutter under the tree?

Hop over there for more on this cutie.

A few faves!

What is a group of ATC's called?

(leave a comment!)

Cant have a Queen Anne Front and a MaryAnne back!

Speaking of babies- my sweet Lawrence at 4 months!

I encourage you to give painting from a photo a try.

A work in progress- needs more highlights on the eyes.

Christmas decorating?

New this year.

If you stop believing in Santa (and elves) you start getting underwear !

HO Ho HO y'all- be merry and bright and may the turn of the seasons and the year bring

Happiness

Peace

Wellness

Safety

Freedom 

for all beings everywhere!

WOYWW - 635-They're A Baby!

WOYWW?

 Welcome Lawrence Chase Josephs July 27, 6lb 7oz, 20" to happy parents

Ray and Jillian!

I'll force myself to talk about the desk!

I joined an August Birthday ATC swap, and knowing I will be preoccupied, got them in the mail right away.

I was planning on skipping my birthday this year!

I had the most fun ever, creating the castle for the dragon.

More on that in the blog

Here

Lawrence's natal chart is ready to explain and excuse their behavior!

(practicing neutral pronouns till they get to choose)

Can we all stop what we are doing and concentrate on being kind so our children will have a world where they can all run free and strong?

I look forward to the continuing sharing of our lives and loves through desking!

I am doing more visiting than commenting, as sometimes the mystery of digital life doesn't allow me to comment.

Comments and Questions Welcomed!

WOYWW 625- Planner Confessional, Many Happy Returns of the Day

WOYWW? 

Last week was a BLAST! as ever.

I love having friends all over the world, creating, sharing and just plain old enjoying ourselves together.

I've recieved a card from Caro! in just a week from the UK, to the beautiful mountains of Western NC, USA.

Thank you postal workers!

I have 3 more cards that could be yours- let me know.

The first rose of summer.

Meet, Julia Child. 

The color of butter and smells like anise- which she loved.

The sweet flower tote-

You can read more about that on the Quietfire Digital Blog

Now for the confessional.

This is what my weekly planner looks likes and I'm not ashamed!

Suzanne creates digital files for planners- you know the kind that someone I've never met keeps with stickers, and photos, and pockets and bullets.

and dang if I cant use them too!

Here they are on the digital mat, when you buy the file from the Silhouette Store

(50% off all designs till June 1)

Daily Planner Turquoise Calendar Sticker

and printed out and cut onto sticker paper.

Now look how classy!

I do have a planner for work, needed when you are at the mercy of the judicial system of NC, tho if I sit and color in it the bailiff gives me the hairy eyeball.

Please pray for the kids in our care.

Thanks in advance for your absolution!

I find it hard to leave comments on some blogs- if your comment box is popped out rather than embedded it seems to work better.

Dear friends- till next time, and more ATC reveals!

 WOYWW?

Pretty tidy at Casa Rainbow!

I got rooked  dragged invited to  a year long tag challenge.

I'm challenged enough just getting up each day!

And once I get started I can't stop.

Suzanne kindly gave us both a tag display box and a tag as digital files.

Card 1

Winter White

Card 2

Winter Blue

...and the one that got away- I can only handle one challenge, and this was Tag #1

(Edit: I lied)

Tag 32-heart

I meant to post last week and time got away from me.

I've been enjoying using and gifting the Motto Calendar for my entire life, and sadly, this year was rumored to be its last.

Miracle of 2020- it was revived, and as I had already mailed my Christmas cards and packages, I made ATCs and envies to send them out.

Pray for the United States of America- I pray for all hearts to open to caring for each other, kindness, compassion, equity and Peace.

Thanks for visiting!

I seem to have issues leaving comments on some Blogger posts- if you put the comment window as a pop out it 's ok, when it is in the body  of the post, not so much.

I am visiting and enjoying y'all very much.
