WOYWW…….338!!!

I really can't believe it's so long since you saw my desk! Julia has all the whats, whys and hows on her blog 'Stamping Ground'!  

We have been away a lot..and without an internet connection most of the time so I have lost touch with lots of you! We arrived home last night - feeling a little sorry for myself I must admit(I had snuffles - mainly I think because we got so cold on our walks that it took me an age to warm up), anyway after a good nights sleep I feel much better this morning!

So, what is on my desk?
Stuff I dumped out of my bag last night and just left! This morning I stood up some of the Christmas cards I made while we were up at the caravan to show you!

I had intended finishing making cards by now…well, it's good to have a plan I suppose!!!

I got distracted by some doodling

and my little Christmas colouring book from The Works
and of course by the lovely Autumn colours around, although the winds last week blew off a lot of the leaves!
These were taken at Sizergh Castle on the only really sunny afternoon we had! 





We woke up to frost the next day! It didn't last long though and the  temperatures have gone up just a little now we are home!
I realise I am rambling again…better get visiting I think!Looking forward to catching up!

Thanks for looking, Chris

Nice to see you Chris. Love the tree photographs you took - somehow I always like them with the autumnal colours on but I also like to see the various shapes when they have finished shedding.
A nice set of C Cards there - why do I keep seeing kraft card used and never use it myself - those ar lovely.
Hugs, Neet 17 xx

Good to see you back, the scenery up there looks wonderful. Definitely getting a nip in the air now, but as it's almost the end of November, I suppose we should expect it. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #1 xxx

I'm glad you had a lovely break, the photos are beautiful. Your Christmas cards look fab, are they stamped or painted? I've had a good look but can't quite tell. Love them anyway.
Have a good week

What beautiful photos and those cards look great. Glad you had a good time away and that you have warmed up now. I cannot leave Gemma with anything that she can pick up. If I can see her, then I can get her to bring them back. Have a good week. xxx Maggie. #18

Love those cards!
Enjoyed the hangings that you did earlier for Stamps and Stencils - so much so I went out and bought some of the stamps, they will be very useful.
Thanks for sharing
Have a good week

I started my Christmas cards, but still have a lot more to make. I love your doodling design of the word green, with all those cute little embellishments that you added to the letter G. Blessings!

I feel like such a slacker. I haven't made a single Christmas card yet. Yours are gorgeous, and you know I like the wreathes, but I love the tree. Beautiful autumn colors, too. What a few days changes can bring. Have a wonderful day, dear.
