Another Wednesday, time to peek at each others desks and projects! If you want to know what WOYWW is, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html  and all will be revealed! 

Hello to all my WOYWW friends! I have had a (unfortunately) terrible Holiday season, but a lovely actual Christmas Day. I fell sick on Tuesday (the 19th) evening, and was bedridden and "dying" (I think it was the flu, even though I did have the flu shot, exasperated by asthma) on the only 3 days I had to get ready for Christmas, and it went on to engulf Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and finally I started feeling better on Tuesday, and here we are at Wednesday. Not quite ready to go back to work, but at least I can sit at the computer! My wonderful daughter was totally in charge of Christmas dinner for the first time (it was strange, she was me, fixing dinner, I was her, watching TV and sleeping while she did that) and she did a fantastic job. Thankfully I was able to make turkey soup yesterday!
So needless to say, I have not been anywhere near my desk in more than a week!

But here are the two art related things I got for Christmas:

 A whole box of Distress Oxide inks! And the TH Stamping Platform:

 
I should have lots of fun with these when I'm feeling up to it!

And lets not forget Inky, who got to open her stocking first on Christmas morning!

 She also got a few other fun things, like a new tent to hide in!

 So that's it for me, recovering slowly, but recovering, hopefully will be feeling like the old me very soon! My DD and I are venturing out in to the very cold temperatures today to see how long I can last (I'm supposed to be back at work tomorrow!) so wish me luck! I will try and visit as many of you as I can over the week!

Greetings everyone! We now have snow that will probably stick around! We will have the first White Christmas we have had in awhile if it does! Only -13C (8.5 F!) today!

And this is my desk this morning - I have to say, I sat down yesterday evening and cleaned it up - it was a disaster area!

I only have one project to share today, I made this for my Brother-in Law and Sister-in-Law, whom we were visiting in Montreal this past weekend:

 Another one made with a stamp wood-block!

We had an incredible experience in Montreal, we got to be part of the chorus for Handel's Messiah in a church! We had an orchestra and professional Soloists. It was awesome, the audience was divided into Soprano, Alto and Bass, and we all sang together - it sounded glorious! We only sang the beginning, about Jesus's birth, then ended with "Hallelujah!"

So that's me for this week, short and sweet for a change! Inky wants to go outside, but then realizes how cold it is! 

 So here's a "Can you find me?" puzzle from Inky. What a trickster she is! 

Have a wonderful week, it's getting closer to the day! I will try and visit more people this week!

Happy December to you all!  December always goes much too quickly! My desk has been very busy lately, as I keep coming up with new ideas, and just HAVE to do them immediately! LOL! Here is my desk this morning (actually looking better than it did yesterday!) As I said - I've been very busy with a project, using an old candle box from last Christmas!

And here it is! 

The scene was hidden inside the box! But I'm sure you figured that out. It was a lot of fun to make! 
 
Some house decorating has been done as well, I won't bore you with it all, but here is my favourite Advent Calendar that my Dad gave me many years ago. Each drawer has a tiny ornament in it, and every day a new ornament goes onto the tree!

 This is today's ornament - painted on a Christmas tree lightbulb!
 And the presents under the little tree? Bet you can't guess. . .

Of course! I wrapped up a couple of my woodblocks from when I unmounted my stamps! Always finding uses!

My Nutcracker collection and the Advent Calendar I made last week:

And here's Inky, looking very prim and proper, saying "Have a Meowly perfect week!"

  That's it for me today, I'm a bit late in the day - but busy busy busy! Now I'm off to the gym! Thank you all for visiting and for your wonderful comments!
