WOYWW? Christmas has landed!

Yes, Christmas card preparation has landed! Only because of the gorgeous new range of stamps designed by woyww'er JoFY for Paperartsy - have you seen them?  OMG they are so beautiful... and so I had to get a couple... which meant I had to ink them...

After last week's craft club, I am back where I belong - crafting on the floor! Don't you just love that headless snowman of Jo's?!!

Arial view  (i.e standing up!) of the craft space
and a close up of some of the finished cards - a long way to go.

Hope to get round lots of your desks today (I am off work, waiting for the British Gas engineer to come and fix my boiler - I currently have no hot water as the pilot light won't light - not ideal, and I really really hope they can fix it as I can't afford a new boiler....)

I also need to decide what supplies to take to the WOYWW meet on Saturday - so if I decide, I hope to see you there!

Realise I have got right through this post without explaining why you are seeing shots of my very untidy floor - it's show all time, What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday - desk not essential!!

    I hope the gas man can sort out the problems with the boiler without too much expense....you need all your space cash for crafting after all :-)

    Oops! Leandra was at the show in Harrogate at weekend but despite chatting to her a couple of times (I so miss her) I never looked at the stand. Dem'ing at shows gets me like that!! No interest in buying.
    Are those "C" cards on fabric? They are gorgeous - love the colour of blue.
    Thanks for sharing -

    Love that those stamps are already inky! The ones so far look amazing! I've used mine a little but need to crack on if I intend to make them for Christmas...!!! Hope the Gas man has been - I'll check Twitter in a bit! Happy Wednesday!

    Hope the boiler man doesn't keep you waiting all day and that he manages to get your hot water going again.

    Would you believe it, was looking at the PaerArtsy blog before I came on here and admiring the stamps. My favourites are the stars - sucker for a star stamp.
    Lovely cards Helen.
    Late this week so number 118 - how did that happen?

    Desktop, floor, shelves and even walls - nothing gets in the way of a crafting production line! I have been so tickled to find that mostly we are all in the same productive mess! Do decide and have a wonderful weekend crop! Hugs, Sandi #37

    Hi Helen,

    I honestly don't know how you manage to craft on the floor! Once I'm on the floor I'd be there for a while......

    The cards look great! Oh, I wish I could come over and be at the WOYWW gathering this weekend.

    Happy WOYWW

    You are so busy, girl!!!
    The blueish ones are so "arty" pretty...the new stamps look great!

    I hope your boiler gets fixed...I have been there...and they can be so pricey to replace. Fingers crossed that it is some little inexpensive problem.

    You lucky girl to be able to go to the crop...take lots of pictures for the rest of us!!!

    Indeed, workdesks not essential to workdesk Wednesday. So many of us mess ours up to the point that the floor is the only option. The floor is so conveniently located! Those are fun stamps for the holidays. Happy playing and hope you get hot water real soon (and inexpensively).
