WOYWW #859

 Good morning, crafty friends!

I didn't accomplish what I wanted while Bob was gone so that photo I promised will  move to next week. I spent Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday fighting with a pinched nerve in my hip that made walking back and forth across the house difficult. Go figure!

Oh, did anyone take part in the class action suit against FB for the privacy breech about 3 years ago? I had a payment in my paypal this morning. Not as much as I'd have like but definitely more than I thought I'd ever see.  LOL

I'm afraid my desk isn't very exciting this week...


This is what's left after I finished the Christmas card for Week 3.  The dies on the left are what I used to die cut stars from for the Christmas tree. Stamp sets are buried underneath for the sentiment both on the outside and the inside. 

Here's this week's card:


That's it for me this week. I should be able to make my usual rounds again this week. Bob got home Monday afternoon and we're trying to get some things done.

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Sarah and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Sarah’sCraft Shed for all the details. Miss Sarah has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.

Creative Blessings!

 Good morning, crafty friends!

I apologize for not getting 'round last week. Seemed every time I sat down to visit, Bob would come upstairs needing something. This week will be better. LOL

Bob leaves in a couple of hours for our niece's wedding in OK. I'll be taking advantage of the place to myself for the next six days to really dig into this mess. I've listed five specific areas to target, one per day with a  little wiggle room.

I'll give you a list but first, here's the desk for this week:


I cleaned part of the desk off yesterday after making the Week 2 Christmas card. I worked from the same Paper Pumpkin kit as last week. There are two designs left in the kit. I want to get them made up this week, filmed and scheduled so they're out of the way. Here's a close up of one of six cards:


The original design had the sentiment Love And Joy stamped in Shaded Spruce on a white banner. I thought Peace went better with the snowflakes. I also heat embossed the sentiment. 

Okay.. the list. I find it more encouraging if I make a list of what needs to be done and push to accomplish each in one day. When that task is done, I'm done until the next day and the next item on the list.  Next week I'll embarrassingly show a before picture of items #2 & #3. for now:

Wednesday - Put away all the stamps/ dies from the #31days of Halloween AND catalog the dies. 
Thursday - Sort/ file all the Halloween crafting into their binder
Friday - Sort/ file all of the Christmas crafting into their binder
Saturday - Clear out the sewing corner (mind you, very little of sewing is in the bedroom lol) and put actually sewing stuff where it belongs
Sunday - Finish any of the above that needs finished (wiggle room day)
Monday - Read the book I need to review on Wednesday

I hope to pitch a lot of stuff. We shall see.

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Sarah and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Sarah’sCraft Shed for all the details. Miss Sarah has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window.

 Good morning, crafters.

Popping in to show what's on my desk.

After a crazy month of a video every day, I'll only be posting on Tuesday's this month. Time to  get Christmas cards done.

These are modified from the November 2019 paper pumpkin which was to be all tags. I made the first set of tags and put them on the card front. I still need to put the liners in.


Haven't decided if I'm doing another set from this kit or pull up another kit. Guess you'll find out next week. ;-)

As to my uploading of videos. I live in the middle of no where. Here in the states, it's referred to as "directions to my house include turn off the paved road". Between my internet provider, youtube and where I live, uploading takes a long time. a 30 minute video can take up to 3 hours. That's one of the reasons my videos are usually short. I also can not do lives because I pixelate too bad.  It is what it is. 
Not everyone has this issue. If I want to travel 2 hours north and stay at a hotel, my videos would upload in minutes instead of hours. 

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Sarah and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Sarah’s Craft Shed for all the details. Miss Sarah has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window.
