WOYWW - All the deets on how to link up etc. and, more importantly, why you should, can be found at the top of the page. Thank you Julia for hosting another week of fun and mayhem.
Bright and early this morning. I am wearing a heart monitor which is not really conducive to sleep, little box clipped to bra and wires dangling . . . only for 24 hours so not too bothered by it.
Lots of desk pictures for you but this is the one I will really own . . . .
Just before I thought to take the photo the desk looked like this . . . .
Yes, the Christmas boxes have been out and used.
Now the desk looks like this . . . .
Peter's box of butterfly stamps and dies. He had this idea of making an album of butterflies, he started it at one of the Crops, but it was never finished as the novelty faded and work took over.
Today the box is out and about to be used on some cards . . . . .
I am taking advantage of no Membership work to be done and making lots of cards, having a lovely time!
So that's what I am up to but it will be all change soon as I go desk hopping for a visit and a nosey and some inspiration . . .
Enjoy your butterflies, and the card making. I am trying to get into full Christmas mode but not really feeling it... I know what you mean about those heart monitors, they do get in the way. take care and stay safe.. Helen #3
ReplyDeleteI remember wearing one of those monitor thingies,but I am sure mine was more plastered to me than clipped to my bra. Hope whatever there are testing you for comes good and there is nothing to worry about.
ReplyDeleteI also hope that using the butterfly box gives you comfort, especially at this time of year.
Hugs, Neet 2 xx
Oh lovely Christine, a box full of memories to use and enjoy, just the job. I deeply hope that your heart monitor 24 hours have nothing to report, honestly the effects of your being ill are so far stretching, I hope that generally you feel improved?
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the butterflies CHristine - maybe you will be able to finish PJs album some time. Hugs. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #17.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, your 'before' desk isn't so bad ... mine is always much worse. Hope the heart monitor results are nothing to worry about. Enjoy the butterfly stamps and have a great WOYWW. Elizabeth x #6
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, I hope the heart monitoring comes up with good news. I do love butterfly stamps so have fun with those. Happy WOYWW Angela #11
ReplyDeleteI would have no problem working on an album of butterflies! Would justify my obsession - perhaps I should just call mine that LOL! Have fun with your boxes of goodies - you might just discover some long forgotten gems in there! Have a lovely week, Christine! xx zsuzsa #20
ReplyDeleteI need to completely re-organize my sewing room to get the door to the Christmas cupboard open! I moved a big table in front of it after breaking up Christmas last year and now, darn it, it has come around again!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
Love the before and after - my favourite WOYWW views :D
(I should be cooking but I can't help but desk hop for a bit!)
Happy WOYWW

Another little Christmas workspace - Santa would be proud!! Hope the heart monitor thingy doesn't flag anything up but better safe than sorry I guess. My desk is never photo ready, it is either just a heap or empty. I never seem to remember to take the photo when I am actually doing something intersting!! Vagabond? What Vagabond? It is one of the few machines I DON't own so I think you may have been looking at a cardboard box lol. Happy WOYWW, have a great week, stay safe stay well, love n hugs Cindyxx #19
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, butterflies are so special and always look lovely on cards. It looks as though you have plenty to work with. I love making Christmas cards but they seem to take over the whole room. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x14x
ReplyDeleteI hope your heart monitor does it's job and you get good, positive results. Your butterfly box of memories will be lovely to spend time crafting with. I just delved under one of my cupboards and discovered a boxful of tiny Christmas mice pieces all ready to make into little tree decs so I took time out to make a couple this afternoon.(I bet they have been there since I moved in here 6 years ago)! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteHi Christine! Photo #2 is so much nicer than #1 - good to see what you've been working on! The butterflies sound lovely, I have a lot of butterfly stamps too. Good luck with the heart monitor, I hope all goes well. Have a great week, Lindart #23
ReplyDeleteOH! Christine these are so lovely, I look forward to seeing more of the butterflies. Good Luck with the monitor, I hope it's positive news for you.

Heart monitors are so uncomfortable aren't they...not conducive to sleep which means that they don't really get an accurate measure of real life. I hope it is all successful for you. I hope you have enjoyed your card making today. The butterflies look lovely. Happy WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. With love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#13)
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, I grinned to see the butterflies out ( my friend at work loves them) and I plan on making her upcoming birthday card with one on the wall behind my table ( so I remember and can find the stamp faster haha ) I hope the monitoring goes well and you are able to rest around that. ~Stacy #22
ReplyDeleteI think I remember Peter and the butterflies, how fab that you’re making good use of them now! Hope the heart monitor is just a routine thing and that’s you’re doing ok.
ReplyDeleteHugs LLJ 12 xxx
I hope all is well with your heart! Or at least, easy to fix.
ReplyDeleteHave fun getting your Christmas cards made. I think I have plenty but time will tell.
Have a great week!

I must get on with my Christmas cards too... I do have a few made from last January...although they were just late cards! Hope your heart thingy works ok. My Lady Pam had one, but kept forgetting what it was and pulled it off and hid it! Stay Safe, Happy WOYWW ((Lyn)) #16
ReplyDeleteGreat to see all the Christmas card activity and lovely to get "Peter's" butterfly box out to make some cards from there too. Special indeed. BJ#5
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly box is so pretty and good for your making Christmas cards! It's time to start the crunch for another year! Sorry you have to wear the heart monitor, but hopefully it will show good news for your wearing it! Hugs!
