Well I still haven't got rid of my cold and my nose is permanently streaming. I thought the cold was on the mend over the weekend, but it seems to have come back with a vengance over the past couple of days. Sitting in a freezing cold office (17oC) at work probably doesn't help - I have brought a heater in with me today to try and get the room temperature up to something approaching normal. Anyway, enough about colds, it is Wednesday and time to show you my crafting desk as part of
WOYWW. This photo was taken yesterday evening when I had a fresh mug of tea and had just finished making two Christmas cards. The stamp set you can see are a Just Rite Christmas sentiment set, and were a present from Tim to replace a stamp which had been lost. The toilet roll is substituting for tissues for my streaming nose; not quite a soft as tissues, but anything will do in an emergency! The piece of paper with random writing on is a list of books that both Tim and I want to read. The other things on my desk are glitter glue, sakura stardust pen, and ink pads.
This is the first of the Christmas cards which both use free stamps from magazines and cuttlebug embossing folders. I have added glitter glue to the hats, stocking and corners of this card and so am entering it into
Ooh La La 'lots of sparkle' as well as
Kaboodle Doodles 'bundle up for winter',
Delightful challenges 'red and green' and
Stamptacular Sunday's 'anything Christmas' challenges.
The second card has glitter glue on the snow flakes in the main image and I have stamped HeroArts snow flakes in the corner of the card. As a result I am entering this card into
The crazy challenge 'stars or snowflakes',
Crazy4challenges 'snow',
Delicious doodles 'hairy legs' (last time I looked cats had hairy legs!), and
Pollycraft 'Christmas fun' challenges. That is all from me for now. I am off to see if I can get my office warmed up to a sensible temperature. Have a great week.
Love,
Caro

Wonderful combo of embossing and adorable images! Thanks for playing at Stamptacular Sunday this week!
Hope that cold soon clears up Caro. The two cards are very cute. Anne x
Ah, I see you're a Canavan fan...a must read in this house, but not me..wrong genre for me. Your desk is busy...things to do, things done..lovely cards. I hope your cold dries up soon..I've got the opposite one -so bunged up I've gone deaf!
Sorry to hear you're suffering with a streaming cold. It's so miserable, isn't it. I tend to use Kleenex balsam tissues rather than loo paper because they stop your nose getting sore! I'm glad you're able to keep creating, despite the cold, though - I had to give up for a fortnight because I just wasn't up to it. Get well soon! Shoshi #62
ohoo these cards are just tooooo cute!! Have a crafty weekend, Happy very late WOYWW
