WOYWW #708

  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!


Hello all! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas wherever you were, and that you have recovered! It does take a lot out of me now, and after returning home, I slept like a log 2 days in a row! Unheard of!

Here is my desk this morning, awaiting a new project. I think I need a good tidying of my art room first though!

We left for Toronto to spend Christmas with the "kids" and DD's in-laws, and had a fabulous time! We were going to leave on Friday, but left on Thursday instead. This is why:
Friday Dec 23

Friday was the start of the Big Storm of 22, a once in a decade type storm. I was very glad we made the choice that we did! Many people did not make it to where they were going. Even the trains were not safe

This was just one of the trains stranded for 17 hours, full of people trying to get home for Christmas. No food, no water, no facilities. Our train system is pretty bad compared to Europe, and even USA. 

Anyway, we were very smart to leave when we did, we hunkered down for the storm on Friday and by Saturday Toronto had cleared everything and we were able to go to our son-in-law's parents for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner - 14 people for dinner!

Granddaughter Jasper had a great time opening presents, though she still doesn't really understand any of it. Here she is with 2 of her fav presents:



I hope I have something more to show next week besides a very sad desk!

Have a great week, and...

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is happy and well today! I was travelling last week to Toronto and Niagara Falls, so wasn't able to post, but I'm back again today. I have been in my art room once since I got back, so this is what my desk looks like this morning:


If you go back to my last post where I was painting these pages you can see a big difference now that I've done some stencilling to tone down the colours.

I did buy some new Christmas stamps at a thrift shop, only $7.95CAD (4.78GBP) for these 3 stamps! I rarely buy stamps anymore as I have so many, but I couldn't resist!


So what have I been doing? Probably what most of you have been doing...decorating for Christmas!



You can see my snowmen collection, and hubby's passion - Scotch! All the boxes on top of the cabinet are empty. He likes to keep the boxes of the Scotch he has tried. The full bottles are inside the cabinet! I don't drink it, hence the wine shelf! Hopefully all of this will be done today, and I can relax. 

The tree is up but not decorated...


Unless you consider this...


The cutest decoration ever!

All our snow is gone, so it's just rain for us for awhile. We hope you have a wonderful week, meow from Mittsy and Inky!
