 Another Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! If you would like to learn more, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html. Maybe you could join our little group!


Well, it's the last Wednesday before Christmas! If anyone else is like me, I haven't even looked at my desk in the past week. I have been too busy doing this...




Anyone want a MOUSE or two? I have had 3 mice at different times (this is the second time we had to do this) jump out at me while cleaning out the mess they made. They even ate through my Tetra Boxes of broth and almond milk!

And once that was cleared up and traps set, I managed to do this:




as well as chocolate Spritz cookies which was pretty much a disaster. Anyway, I'm sure you were all busy baking and /or eating yummy things as well!

My DD took my Granddaughter Jasper to see Santa...


I have the feeling she said "sit in your lap? I don't think so!"

Here are the 2 handmade Christmas cards I received this week from good friends of mine:

From Marg who loves Lavinia stamps...

And from Therese, I love this impressed snowflake!



Anyone else have cats who like to take ornaments off the tree? Hubby came up with this brilliant idea when I had removed all the ornaments from the bottom foot or so of the tree:


Those are all their cat toys! Now when I come down in the morning it's just the cat toys on the floor!

Have a wonderful Christmas full of Joy, friends and family!

We have a beautiful sunny morning this morning, after a week of dreary cloudy and rainy days, but it's still 0°!
Here is my desk this morning, I'm just finishing of a set of 4 cards, my last cards!


Here is the card, all stamps by Stampin' Up

And here are the rest of the cards I made last week



The Joy To The World card is my favourite. And I love the mouse choir! Stamp by our very own Tracy!

And now for some kitties! Mittsy has been having fun with the tree...




And Inky says "I'm too old for those shenannigans!"
And here is our menagerie on our lawn, too bad there wasn't more snow!

Well, that's it for me today! Have a great week, the kitties say "Meow-ry Christmas!"

Lovely December has arrived! Almost all my cards are made, but I still have to do the insides, and address the envelopes and mail. I am ahead of my usual timing! Here is my desk this morning, ready for some more cards...

My water definitely needs a change! Some handmade stamps  for a journal page I did, some tweezers, scissors, my box to corral my card making stamps and glitter, my TV remote, favourite glue and stamp pad, and that's about it!

I did manage a few journal pages this week:
A couple of letters are obscured by leaves, but I think it can be read!




Last but not least, Mittsy, just hanging out with a snowman!


I really expected to find this snowman on the floor the next morning, but I guess she likes him!

Inky and Mittsy say "meow!" and I say have a crafty week! Enjoy all the decorating for Christmas!

Hello everyone! Today will be short and sweet, as I haven't done anything in my art room since last Thursday! Here is my desk this morning, a big difference from last week!

All ready to go for another round of card making!
We spent the weekend in Toronto and Niagara Falls for an annual party of our University friends - our 49th year!
In Toronto, DD got the Christmas Tree set up and when Jasper got home from school she was delighted! We then decorated the tree to her specifications of course!


She's getting so big!

And here is Mittsy, lounging around now that it's too cold to go outside, although Inky braves it for short periods of time!


So that's it for me today! Inky and Mittsy say "meow"! Have a wonderful week!

Hello! Hope you are enjoying your Fall days! My hubby just finished raking up all the leaves yesterday, only to find the lawn totally covered again today! Isn't Fall fun!

Here is my desk this morning:

A full desk, it will need a good cleaning before I can do anything else!! And even to my left it is very messy!


I have been making Christmas cards, I think they will all be like these below:



Unless I get bored with it...!
And here is my distraction:

I made a little cat playhouse for Inky and Mittsy, who totally ignored it, so I am gifting it to my neighbor who just got a new kitten, and thought I would spruce it up for her!  
Well that's it for me today, short and sweet. We are off to a Christmas Party this weekend in Niagara Falls, the "season" has started!
Have a wonderful and crafty week, Inky and Mittsy say "meow"!

Hello all! Today will be a quick post as I have to leave in a few minutes. Here is my very busy desk this morning:

I finally got started on my Christmas cards, with some inspiration from Instagram! These are all my "first drafts" that may or may not make it to the mail box. Let me know which ones you think are mail worthy (if any!)!

The fairy isn't stamped yet, just an idea in the making...






Well that's it for me today! Inky's at the door meowing to go out, but we don't let the cats out when we are not home, so she will just have to wait. She'll be OK after I tell her we are going out! Have a wonderful week, the kitties say "meow"!

Hello! What a difference a week makes! Last week we had snow, this week it's a gorgeous sunny day (but cold-below 0°). Here's the view out my art room window this morning:

And here is my desk this morning:

I haven't got much to show this week because my mojo kind of went on a holiday, hopefully it will be back soon! But I did finish the opening page of my new journal, and got the next page ready for something, I don't know yet!


While I was taking the photos, Inky and Mittsy were playing...

Cats are so much fun! Well that's it, Inky and Mittsy say "meow" and I say have a lovely crafty week!
