WOYWW- 754-If you cant make a mess...

 WOYWW?

...you cant make anything.

Above shows I must be on my way to a lot of something, as clearly there is plenty of mess!

Poinsettias are the theme this year, and peace.....

I was having card anxiety, when I realized, no one is waiting for my cards, and I can stop calling them Christmas cards and think more along the line of holiday cards or even New Years cards to take off the pressure.

Yes, I am having fun yet, and I hope you are too!

If I don't leave you a comment it's because google doesn't want me too!

I don't buy much, and I caved and bought myself one of those new glue press things in the middle right.

i do like it so far, and I think you could accomplish the same not having to cap the glue function, by putting a small piece of silicone mat in the bottom of a jar that would hold your glue bottle, with the tiny tip pushing into the silicone.

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- 597 - A sigh of relief- Cards and Cutting abound!

WOYWW? 

Hey Y'all Robyn here, breathing many sighs of relief.

I've never made so many cards ever!

I treated myself to a new die cut machine, and don't know why I waited so long!

Exciting news is even tho Suzanne is no longer retailing her own stamps and products,

they live on and this week is a release of new dies!

More on that here.

Painting and pasting has kept me sane these last few years.

WYOWW friends get you thorough times of stress too!

Thanks to all of you for visiting and inviting me to your place!

WOYWW- 539 -WARNING- This post may be hazardous to your diet!

WOYWW?

Watch your wallet and your waistline !

New holiday stamps from 

Quietfire Design.

I'm ok with Christmas being year round- the Christmas that is:

Peace on Earth

Awaiting and Welcoming our children.

Exchanging gifts to express our love for each other,

Goodwill to all,

Expectant waiting-Advent- for all good things to come.

Those innocent looking wreaths are calorie enticing toppers!

Read the topper blog post here

(Backstory)

Shout out to Susan Tierney Cockburn

Many of you know her Susan's Garden die cuts.

Getting to know Susan we became FB friends, and was quickly seduced by her baking photos! and recipes.

Cakes, cookies, puds, breads- oh my.

When I saw this wreath file, my mind went immediately to sweets.

Where oh were is my cupcake pan?

My local Thrift- shout out to Kiwanis- who donated almost $200,000 to the children in our Valley with my $1 and $5 purchases! supplied me with these adorable mini cake pans.

and the rest (of the diet) is history!

Shaggy dog back to the sticky bun?

I had to make something before I found the pans!

(those buns are ancient history- except for the hips!)

Friends- I am making my best efforts to visit y'all, and for some reason I'm finding it a challenge to leave comments on some blogs.

Please picture me there, and I thank and welcome you for my picture of you here!

WOYWW 498- Christmas Birthdays

WOYWW?

One of my SIL's birthday is Dec 26.

Sending her a separate card is a must!

I have a box of cards I call the 

Pauline Seitchik Memorial Collection

from cleaning  out  my grandmothers closet when she died.

(more than 30 years ago!)

I enjoy sending them to family members as much as hand made cards.

It's important to keep our elders alive in story and holiday tradition.

In other news- if you still need to make quick cards and gifts- your digital cutter is your best friend.

From the comfort of your desk you can DL most of what you see on my desk from 

Suzanne Cannons Silhouette Design Store.

Visit Quietfire Digital later today for more on the Nutcracker Sugarplum fairy ornament.

I enjoyed doing a lot of visiting last week while I was snowed in and I was having trouble leaving comments on blogger. 

Please forgive me if I didn't comment!

Hope to visit y'all again this week and catch up on all your desker shenanigans !

WOYWW 443- C is for Chaos/ Special People

WOYWW?

Christmas has arrived chez RainbowWeaves and some Chaos is required.

Everyone is getting ATC's this year.

Packages will be sent, with some assembly required!

So many new cutting files, so little time!

{all Christmas is on sale now too}

I'm leaving this mess out for the elves!

I believe!!!!

My other desk....

Once a month the Easel Rider, travels to West Asheville Rec center for therapeutic art, with some very special people.

Children of all ages and abilities, teach me about the true meaning of what it means to be able, and kind.

I never could have dreamed how far my heart could grow.

We covered containers with tissue to make vases and whatever holders.

Everyone learns and everyone teaches.

The beautiful van in the background is our traveling art studio, the Easel Rider.

Huge shout out to LEAF for giving me and my fellow teaching artists the opportunity to serve our community and bring art to those who need it most.

(that includes me!)

 Thanks so much for visiting and sharing the love!

Tis the season to be as jolly as you can!
