WOYWW 128 I seem to have lost a week

Hi world
gosh is it really wednesday again so soon. Time to blog hop around the world under the leadership of Julia Dunnit. stamping-ground
Not much on my desk except mess. I am sorting my Christmas stamps, I seem to have lost my mojo!!
 Lst weekend was really busy for me as I had a family wedding to go to, my handyman's birthday and family visiting for the weekend.
 On the up side I had to work on saturday, so I missed the cooking marathon that was dinner for 9  (also known as WW3 as it happens) whoever would have thought my 3 daughters could cook a big meal together.
 (I think the answer is they couldn't). It all turned out ok in the end.
 All this activity didn't leave any time for crafting .
I had intended to spend my extra day off on Monday crafting, but as with all the best plans I decided to have a stinking head cold instead (actually not by choice!!). whats the next best thing to crafting?. . .  craft stash shopping.... I did that instead!! I brought some new masks and christmas pressies.... for me.
I did have a go at making some Christmas Papers. . . . .I dont think they turned out too bad, you cant really see the embossing in the photo.


Here are the said stamps, which to use? could not concentrate enough to decide.
I had a look at grungy monday but couldn't decide on that either. grungy-monday have a look it celebrates the techniques of 'lord' Tim Holtz 
tim holtz.


I did make a few very simple cards for my craft sale next weekend. I think I have lost the plot for that.
Still I think I have a bit of time to peek at a few desks before i look for my mojo!!
happy WOYWW

  2. Come on cold weather squish the bugs please. I know what you mean about the days off. I have Monday set aside every week and it just seems to fill up either in advance or all the things that it is helpful to get done when a toddler is missing and my lovely crafting day gets squished to an hour or so. The papers are great, hope your mojo turns up soon, I have so much to do at the moment losing mine is not an option!

  10. Well, you've been just as busy as me!! It calms down a lot next week as I've only got two more fairs late Nov/early Dec. My poor old sewing machine is begging for mercy. I was in C&H on Monday too, but you were obviously poorly, I looked at everyone's name badges but couldn't find a Janet. That's why...
    Hugs, LLJ #42 xx

  12. Hope your nasty cold has gone. Love all the bits on your desk. I would love to make cards but can't cut a straight line to save myself.

  13. Love those stamps! When my mojo is running low I grab a scrap sheet and just start stamping different things. Usually they turn into embellishments to use later, then I can get back to what I needed to do :D. Hope your's comes home soon! #23

  14. Agh, being full of cold is such a killer for decision making and concentration - I think you did well to get off the sofa, personally! I tidy when the mojo is low. But then I need to. You probably don't!

  15. For being number 1 this week, I'm awfully late visiting. I'm so sorry I'm late, but, after a computer crash I had to stop by and get a bit of inspiration from your desk. Of course, I want to steer clear of your cold, so I hope your mojo returns even before the cold goes away.
