My "desk" this week is an early one, as Tuesday evening sees the annual office Christmas party (dinner at the Trafalgar Hotel this year) and I am not sure what time I will wake up on Wednesday morning... (early, probably, I always do; but you never know) - so I couldn't leave it to chance that I'd have time to write up a post when I got home from London!!
anyway, my "desk" - not crafting as such, although there was a bit...
Christmas present wrapping... Secret Santa gift had to be ready to take in for Tuesday, so I decided I may as well do the rest as well, seeing as how I finished buying them on Sunday!
I put into action the new Timmy dies I bought last week along with the Timmy Tree Line stamp set (bought specifically with this in mind)
The other crafting was for some gift envelopes for my niece and nephew only I haven't photographed them on my camera - only on my repaired phone!!
Used a different Timmy die for them (I was a bit bored of wrapping by then so rushed them a bit!)
Ah yes, the phone... got a message to say it was ready, went to pick it up first thing Saturday morning. Finished my Christmas shopping, came home, set up the phone.... phone told me it had detected a new sd card.... didn't really think anything of it... happened to see I had some photos on the phone..... but they told me I'd have lost them, and I knew they hadn't backed themselves up... Looked a bit closer.... Don't know who these people are I thought..... obviously somebody else's SD card got put in my phone at the repair place.... unless of course, it's not my phone (it is) so had to trek back down to the Carphone Warehouse to moan, and get them to take the sd card out..... good job it's only a 15 minute walk to the high street!
but at least I have a working phone!!
Let me finish by wishing you a very Happy Christmas and healthy and happy New Year - see you at a desk near here very soon! Before then, there will be photos in a separate post from the office night out!!
edit. I wrote the party post when I got home so it's here if you're interested/nosy

Your card and gift envelopes i'm sure will be well received. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas Helen and all the best for the New Year.

Love the reindeer card. The saga of the phone. Why do things happen like that when we are so busy! Mh son rang to say his phone had died, only two years old (an LG one) and not cheap. I still had my old Samsung so reluctantly he came up and took it home (Chas had already charged it - it has sat in the car for well over two years). Anyhow he was delighted, it didn't need unlocking and is sim card fit. Voila! A new phone. Hopefully will put him on for a bit,
Hugs and Merry Christmas to you Helen.

Morning Helen. Well done - all ready and waiting now! I like the font on the "all is calm" sentiment - where did you find that one?
Have a tremendous Christmastime - enjoy every moment. See you in the new year.
Take care. God bless.

Bored of wrapping....I totally get that! Love the card and money envelopes, no boredom apparent in their making, I assure you. Bet last night was fab. You may need a nap......
Oh I really hope you had a good time at the party last night and that your head isn't too sore this morning :-D. Thanks for the lovely card that arrived a couple of days ago, so pretty. The leaping deer is a lovely stamp.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Helen, thanks for all your support this year.

I was cursed this morning with not being able to upload comments.
Then I sussed it and realised that mobile commenting is a problem unless you revert to the web version. But I ran out of time.
Here I am now thouugh!
Love seeing what you've been doing - I can't wait for my coursework to finish so I can get on with some crafting proper!
Have a lovely Christmas...
Wow, that card is gorgeous and I love your deer theme - the die is fab. Hope you had a great Christmas 'do' and Merry Christmas for Monday.

Gorgeous gorgeous work with the deer, both old and new - they've been a bit of an obsession for me this year! Love the wintry forest scape with the coppery patina deer - amazing!

Hi Helen, loving the Tim stuff! saw the pics today from the works do- looks like you had a great night. What a palaver with your phone, but I'll bet someone is either frantic at losing their memory card, or relieved it's turned up if they've had it back! Have a lovely Christmas, Love & Hugs, Shaz #5 XxX

Love the new reindeer dies/card, I think you know I only have the old one! I was out Tuesday too, snap and it is my son's 19th today so now I am all confused daywise yet again!! Hubby is off work for the holidays which accounts for me being ultra confused too. Thanks for the visit and have a Happy Christmas and a Crafty New Year - BJ#27
