WOYWW 187 - but back to work
Happy New Year to all you WOYWWer's - I've had a lovely few days off work over Christmas, have caught up on much needed sleep, and ate loads and watched loads of tv (childhood favourite films, as you do!) but today is my first day back at work. (yuck! not looking forward to it!) so am leaving my 'desk' for you to look at in my absence. Julia will fill you in on all the details here... I hope you all had lots of fun and food and family get togethers. I spent a couple of days with my brother and his family, which was lovely.
And these are the fabulous crafty pressies I was lucky enough to receive, some from my brother and some from my Secret Santa (see here) It was a heartwarming tale by my Santa to make sure the goodies arrived.
This is part of a birthday card that I've been working on but I can't show you the finished thing yet as it's for my brother on Sunday, and he may see it before then, so this is a sneak!
I'll try and get to as many of you as possible, hopefully it will be quiet at work, catch you later!!

Glad you enjoyed a restful Christm, you got some nice stuff I must say. your brother, my husband, his brother...I find January rich days quite hard and look at you already in the art groove...go you!
Happy New Year to you. Wow some lovely crafty pressies. The card looks interesting too. Glad you shared the festive season with your brother and family. Tracey R ±48

Happy New Year.

Oh how nice to have got some new crafting goodies for Christmas! We don't go back to work until Monday, but I think the longer you're off the more difficult it is to go back!
Bernice #60
New crafty stash is always good! Glad you had a lovely time but boo to normal routine! We're not quite back to normal as Keagan doesn't go back to school until Monday. Anyway Happy New Year to you! Here's hoping that 2013 is a super year for us all. Take care Zo xx 69
Tell me about back to work, yuck!! Up at 6am today, I'll be asleep at my desk by 11am this morning I'm sure! Lovely new goodies to play with, I have a birthday next week so have a few more crafty things lined up for then too!! We're only geared up for the snow because we get it every year, it would cost an absolute fortune to prepare the UK for snow, which might not come or only be around for a few days. SE Michigan spends over 2 million dollars most winters! That's a lot of money!!
Happy New Year to you, hope 2013 is good for you.
Hugs

I hope the first day back at work wasn't too horrid. I love the look of all your lovely new crafting goodies. Have a very Happy 2013. Thanks for sharing. Caro #57
Love those swirl stamps on your desk, can think of lots of things to do with them. Am also a fan of circles and spots so the birthday card in progress is a hit with me.
Glad you had a restful Christmas and hope it isn't too much of a bind going back to work, can't imagine what it's like after thre years of retirement.

Ah yes, that whole back to work thing, it really does get in the way of blog hopping! But I'm glad I got the chance to hop on over to you. I love your card; it already looks great and I can't imagine what else you're going to do with it. Can't wait to see it.

Love the build a swirl stamps and fab goodies you got!
Lovely looking pressies - and good to know people made an effort to get you something they knew you'd like.
