Time make your list and check it twice!
It is Wednesday, which means we’ve got to check and see desks both naughty and nice! Ok, We have Winter Brain Freeze, but it IS WOYWW (What’s On your Work Desk Wednesday).
Here is our neglected…and therefore naughty desk…
To see the rest of the list please check out the always nice Julia and the
Stamping Ground!
This week, Creative Me was challenged to make a monochromatic color card for Tuesday Trio’s
Sketch #96. We toyed with purple for Hanukkah, and red or green for Christmas… then settled on blue because the kids were complaining that we had not gotten any snow yet this year… and they NEEDED a snow day.
Part of the slowness in our creativity has been caused by family overload, and PA Me and the Inner Hoarder putting up one last stand for the decade old magazines that really really needs to be purged for this week’s part of the Organize your Stuff challenge. We are on round 5, and it still has not been tackled. The POW says we need some liquid courage and to duct tape the Inner Hoarder and PA Me in a chair.
Maybe.
Also, this weekend, we had double duty birthdays. First, Illusive Middle Child turned 9.
Then, Oldest Child hit the big one and turned 13. We are not old enough to have a teenager. Fabulous Spouse went on his drill weekend. Oh, and the plague struck. The boys were nice and mature enough to at least get sick in the bathroom. Girl Friday caused us to discover horrible new smells in the car. We hate stomach bugs.
Kids are recovering finally. Lots of extra laundry done. Better birthdays than Christmas! Oh and we have been baking! White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Oatmeal Candy Cane Pecan, Dark Chocolate Orange, Snickerdoodles and Chocolate Chip cookies down…only like a dozen kinds to go!
Time to start hopping!

thanks for sharing your creative desk today...loving the baking shot..they look yummy...happy WOYWW...hugs kath xxx
Sounds like you have had a busy week in more ways then one! Love the picture of DD/Girl Friday making cookies! The stuff memories are made from! I was so pleased last year when my children, now 32 and 35 yrs., told me that they can't remember what Santa brought but that we always made/did this or that! Hope you have a great week. Merry Christmas! Vickie aka Okienurse

Can see the OCD you in the first photo, all those marker pens looks like you have organised into colour families. Now that is dedication to organisation.
Sorry about the bugs and hope you are all better now and able to enjoy those scrumptious looking cookies.

Your desk looks busy not neglected...Tag 3 on my desk is the right techniques but I don't do snow so I changed the image to Santa in the water tube!
Too much family stuff going on! Poor kids, hope they're on the mend now. Nice cooking going on there! You have a Kitchen Aid mixer!! So do I, he's bright red and very handsome. I love him LOTS!!

Yikes! Well, your card is really pretty!
You can always say that your desk in the middle of something - a project of sorts! I like the card!
Snickerdoodles? I need to know what they are! The military photos on your desk - just for a nano second I thought the men were standing on front of a stargate!!!!
Happy Birthday to all!! Cute baker too :) What a pretty card - love snowflakes!!
What a great desk is that all coloured papers it looks so organised. Your children look adorable happy Birthday to your boy and the baking looks yummy. Have a lovely Wednesday, Laura
Thirteen???? Oy! :) Happy birthday to the boys and I'm glad everyone is feeling better! I'm digging the monochromatic blue, would take that over snow ANY day!

Hi, your desk looks quite organised to me. Love the snowflakes on your card. Hope the children are all better now
I always hated tummy bugs when the kids were small. The only way I could cope and not join in was to use a whole bottle of Dettol at each session. As a result, neither of our two can stand the smell of Dettol now. Thank you for your visit earlier, and your kind comments. I just wish I could see as much of my cutting mat as you can. You are so much more organised than I am.
I love your snowflake card, and your family photos are great - lovely candle light. Happy WOYWW, Shoshi #56
Oh there's nothing worse than every sick at the same time... and all the laundry too...!
And you still did Birthdays and cookies... Boy you are a real Woman is all I can say!!
Thanks for the peek into your life..
Thanks for visiting my desk, loving yours and what a busy week you have had, especially with birthdays in the same pay cheque month as Christmas!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you kiddies recover quickly. Those cookies look delicious.
Beautiful card!!!
Love reading your family stories but hope the bug did not last with the children. Delightful photographs of all three.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #1 x
