WOYWW - Christmas comes to Craft Club

Hi, everyone. Welcome to another day of desk hopping round the world, thanks to Julia at the Stamping Ground for WOYWW. 

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.
 in the foreground is some of my stamping stuff, I was spreading out as usual! Lots of sewing going on, and some other ladies were also making cards.

Thanks for the lift home, BJ - hope you made it home before you fell asleep!!


 I got 7 done....
and I now have quite a pile ready - all the insides stamped too! I will probably need to write out the list soon, so I know how many more to go - I usually get somewhere towards 70 made!

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    Glad you were able to get to craft club, I find I miss not crafting in a group if I miss Coven.

    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,

    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.

    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.
