WOYWW 551 - it's Christmaaaassssss!!!!

Well Happy Wednesday deskers and a very Merry Christmas to you all - there may be fewer of us gathering today but before we all get on with our Christmas duties, I'm sharing a quick desk for you....it may be Christmas but it is WOYWW too..

Firstly, 

a Christmas greeting for all of you, may the day be filled with sparkle and fun! I used a bit of the background I made for my brother's card - it can go in the box for next year !

Secondly,
some "almost" crafting got done when I was making a kind of tag/wallet thing for some money for my niece and nephew...(they are of an age when they appreciate hard cash for gifts from their auntie!   I stencilled one tag with distress oxide spray and used the leftover in the (very nearly full) journal.... Forgot to photograph the finished tag/wallets though... doh!

I am spending the day at my brother's with his wife and two (grown up) children and my sister in law's parents;  so will be having a busy old time. 
their gifts were wrapped at the weekend and are now packed ready to take when my brother collects me later (depending on what time you read this)   I had to use the hallway as there wasn't enough space in the living room so it was a bit dark

I know lots of you will be too busy to join Julia and the gang today, but for those that do, I hope you enjoy your Christmas!

*Happy Christmas* Helen, I hope you have a super day with your Brother and family. Love how your card sparkles and shines. A really nice touch making the money wallets yourself, money is always a winning gift for teenagers.
Wishing you the merriest of days & happy woyww Tracey (?) x

Looks like you have a busy and fun day ahead. It sounds delightful, filled with family and lots of love. I also came to wish you and your loved ones a delightful, safe, healthy, and joyous Christmas, dear Helen.

Merry Christmas Helen. Have a fabulous day with family. Funnily enough, I have been making wallets for gift cards this week too. It does make shopping quicker though. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3

Well Helen, so glad you are going to your brothers rather than being on your own. I know you will have a lovely time, always good to have company. We are away for Christmas which makes for a nice change so hopefully after a hearty breakfast we might go for a walk (back permitting) and then back for Christmas Dinner.
Have a lovely day, enjoy the whole Christmas period - eat, drink and be merry.
Hugs, Neet 14 xx

Hi Helen, and Happy Christmas. Hope you have a fab time at your brothers.Love the Christmas card, and yes, our younger ones prefer hard cash too, which is a great relief as it's easier than trying to figure out what presents they'd like! Have a lovely Christmas week, Hugs, Shaz #11 X

My intentions really were good yesterday. I planned to visit all the WOYWWers at some point between our visits but it just didn't happen so here I am, a day late. I am determined to call on each and every one of you to wish you a wonderful Festive time, thank you for all the love and friendship over the last year and to say I really hope we can enjoy many more WOYWW over the next year.
Much love and the biggest hugs,
Annie x #5

I hope you had a lovely Christmas Day Helen! We went to one of my son's house, but our family party is on Friday!
We are finally getting a break from the rushing around we have been doing - time soon for some crafting, blog catch ups and blogging I think!
Enjoy whats left of Boxing day!
Hugs, Chris
