Tuesday saw me at my sister-in-law's Craft Club for the first time in months - the first time since I started my new job in fact. I don't normally get home from work in time to eat and get back out again for Craft Club, but this month I happened to have the afternoon off work so along I went.
It was Christmas-themed so I took along supplies to make some more Christmas cards. I also forgot to take many pictures whilst I was there, so took these of my output, when I got home.
Thanks for the lift home, BJ - hope you made it home before you fell asleep!!
Hope you all enjoy your Wednesday, and I'll catch your desk soon.

Hello Helen! Nice to see you got to Craft club and that BJ was able to give you a lift! Your card output is impressive! I still haven't made a single festive card - hangs head in shame - but over on my desk this week I do have the raw materials, well some of them, for Christmas cards so maybe soon! Have a great WOYWW! Try not to work too hard! Julie Ann xx
so glad you made it to the craft club, your cards are fabulous!

Happy WOYWW

How fun that you have a Craft club where you can go to play... when you have the time. It is hard when you work all day to get home, get fed, and get back out. You got quite a bit done! Happy WOYWW! Helen #16
Happy to see you were able to be there. Love the little snowman cards. I need to get on the band wagon and work ahead!!!
Enjoy your WOYWW visits and have a fun creative week. #18

It's good that you made the craft club, too much work isn't good for you. Your cards are beautiful, I really love the snowmen.
Have a great week and I hope you have more time to play.

I'm exhausted looking at it all !!
Well done you on achieving the seven cards..you have a fine pile accruing there! The craft club looks fun, there are a few around here but I never seem to have the time..which is mad really.
Hope you are well and happy :-)

Good you had time to go to Craft Club and make some more cards Helen. Hope you are able to get to the club more often too!
Great set of cards :-)
Isn't it nice to get out and have a craft play with like minded people? Your cards look lovely. We really must write a list too. And make some more cards.

We crafters have so much in common down to the products that we use. Glossy accents is my glue of choice. You had quite a productive evening with lovely results. Carole # 72

Nice to have a look at Craft Club. You sure are getting those cards done, I have some made but not sure how many as I keep putting them in a box. Must get them out and finish the insides and sort them! Take care Zo xx 77

Well done on getting 7 C-cards made! I would love to know enough crafters in my small town to have a craft night, sounds like so much fun.
Thanks for the earlier visit this week.

Oh thats a serious amount of Christmas cards (I gave in and started mine this week!!). LOVE the snowman stamp!
Glad you were able to get to craft club, I find I miss not crafting in a group if I miss Coven.
Happy WOYWW

It looks like you had a good time at your craft group -- your cards are pretty -- it's fun to make multiple designs. 70??? Good for you! I'm so glad people still send cards . . . and some people make them by hand. The digital world is great, but handmade is special. Happy WOYWW (and thanks for visiting.) ~ Laura
Blimey, that is a good pile...and super impressed that the insides are done too...am going to really have to make a proper effort. Soon! Happy to read that you got out to craft group..it takes mega effort after a work day, even a half day, to haul stuff out and be productive,
Now, see, that is where working on Christmas cards at a summer crop gets you - well ahead of the game :)
Happy WOYWW!

70? SEVENTY? Seven OH? Gawd blimey woman! There's me all chuffed at making one! In fact it's on my shelf all proud with itself like!
Thanks for welcoming me back - 'tis cos of your encouragement I decided to stick my big toe back in :) I have missed it loads!
Hugs!

wow looks like a productive day you had. I know I am going to regret not starting my cards soon, well I've got the stamps out, so nearly there.
janet #38
That is quite an accomplishment and I am impressed as I am so easily distracted from tasks by new ways to make things. What a ovely way to spend an afternoon off work with a crafters club.

Your cards are absolutely lovely. I adore the snowmen especially. Thanks for sharing your wonderful desk.
Lovely that you managed to get to craft club for the first time in yonks, and you have quite the pile of cards going on there! Annette #144

Happy WOYWW!

How fun! I think it's always more fun with other creatives when creating. Your cards are awesome. I can't believe you make/send 70! Those are some lucky recipients to get one. Have a wonderful WOYWW!! Rasz #102
Looks like you had a lot of fun at Craft Club. Seems you got a lot done, too, even with what I suspect was a lot of laughing and carrying on. And nice to read you know BJ. This has become a small world.
Obviously, I skipped WOYWW this week, but stopped by to say HI.
Hello! I'm back! Just a bit.... LOL
Life is busy but rewarding at the moment and hopefully I'll have a grand announcement in a few weeks....LOL again...
Keep well!
Well done on getting your post done more timely than mine, I was so zonked on Tuesday I didn't remember until Wednesday bedtime! Your cards are super and I got to see them up close too with all the work you put into them. BJ#108
Great looking cards! It's such fun to get together with other crafters not just card makers, keeps us well rounded and grounded. Thanks for the earlier visit! WOYWW hugs! Nan G #20
OMG Helen you have got me panicking now 'cos I've only made about 4, Yikes!!!!! Yours are looking smashing though, well done you!
Hugs

I'm glad you enjoyed your craft club evening, you should be very proud of your collection of Christmas cards. I am VERY glad that I don't have to make anything close to that amount.
Blimey - 70 cards! - in that case I'm doubly glad to have helped out with a couple!! Good luck adding to this great start...

That's an impressive haul Helen! Well done.
