MAKE IT MAIL IT MONDAY - Absent

 Good morning, friends.

I am sorry that there is no card today. I have been battling sinus' all weekend, trying to get stuff done AND get words written on the book.  I'm draggin' here LOL

I have to work through this. We are to have temps in the uppers 70s and DRY (which may account for my sinus issues) so my plan is to empty out the warehouse and start over as much as I can. I figure if I can get the crafting side organized then Bob can help with the trees when he gets home. We have several Christmas trees plus I have three Halloween trees that didn't even come out this year because I can't get to them.

I'll show before & after pictures. 

I did get most of the work table cleared (you saw that last Wednesday). I'm hoping to finish that this week as well.... AND STILL put new words to the book. 

So what I thought I would do is randomly pick a photo from a very early post. So I'll leave you with this card....


Creative Blessings!

WOYWW #752

Good morning, friends!

I woke up to 23*F this morning.... for the third day in a row!  Way too early in the season for this here in the Ozarks. 

My desk this morning:


I had the space almost cleared off of the #31DaysofHalloween project you saw last week but I still wanted to get one more challenge project and posted by deadline last night. I had to do something with the 3D Pushout design sheet (by Find It Trading - purchased from Spectrum Art Creations Saturday Live sale)

I used the Botanical Garden collection to make this card:


While the flower wasn't supposed to be Christmasy, I remembered this paper from a retired Stampin' Up! collection called This Christmas and knew they'd go perfectly together.

I'll try to remember to show the  pictures next week that I took of our roadside wild plants yesterday morning. 
In the mean time...

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Julia and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Stamping Ground for all the details. Miss Julia 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!
