Well it is Wednesday today and I am mega excited! My family is coming up to see us in Sheffield for the first time in simply ages. My brother's family hasn't been up here for 4 years and my parents for 2. Needless to say I am getting the house ready, but more to the point I am using it as an excuse to do all those jobs that I have wanted to do for ages. On that note I now have new curtains up in our study, both in the alcove (hiding the filing cabinet and various storage boxes etc) as shown above.
And in the window behind my desk, replacing the awful patterned ones that were there before. Doesn't it look so much better!
Here is my desk (not looking quite so neat) as part of
WOYWW. This time has caught me in the midst of Christmas card making so there is a pile of Christmas papers, images, peel offs and stamps on my desk as well as my trusty mug of hot tea and the latest card I have just finished making.
Here is the Christmas card which fits with
Kaboodle Doodles 'squares or inchies' challenge,
Ooh La La 'Let it snow',
Aud sentiments 'Winter theme' and
Crazy4Challenges 'Holiday' challenges.
I also made an almost duplicate of the card I made at the weekend, this time including pearls for a friend who has just passed her PhD viva. I am entering this into
Stamptacular 'You choose' and
Lets ink it up 'think pink' challenges. That is all from me for now. Not sure when I will next be able to update...probably after the visitors have gone! In the meantime, have a great week.
Love,
Caro

You have been busy!! I too prefer a simple curtain in a busy space over a patterned. Awesome card.
Keep smiling and creating
I love your card and hope you have a lovely visit with your family.
Lovely cards & space. Have fun with your family. Thanks for sharing, much love, Jennibellie x
I bet it’s been hard to concentrate on crafting when you’re excited about a family visit, especially when it’s been so long since you’ve seen them. Hope you all have a wonderful time together.
Great cards by the way.
Happy Crafting!

Beautiful cards Caro, especially the CH*****as one. I'd just scan it and print off as many as you need as it is simply perfect!
Brenda told me that it's the gnomes that mess up when I'm not looking and here's me letting them multiply!

Love the Xmas card, have a fun time with your family!
Love to see a well stocked bookcase and a working craft space. I have that 'Let it snow' stamp and wouldn't have thought of using it like this - thanks for the idea.
