Under that bag is a couple of gold coloured walnuts. Sprayed about ten years ago by my Mama...they are there while I decide whether they need a place in the decorations box or the bin. Back right is the yawning opening of a bag of chocolate buttons. Obviously, they've all gone now. And my phone, waiting to be charged. Stupid really as the charger cable is at front left, waiting.
Now then gentle Desker, if I don't see you back here before next week, know that I wish you a safe, warm and need-for-nothing Christmas. I'm absolutely sure that whatever your faith, we all feel that this holiday is the one that can really unite the world - let it be with love.
Joint the link fest if you've time - put WOYWW in your blog post title, show us your work space - for a lot of you it may be a kitchen at this stage - and link here, it will be lovely to come and visit.

Happy holidays Julia. Loving those super cute images and yes I do agree it is a very busy time of the year. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Hugs Always ~Anne L#2
Hi there dear Queen of Deskland, nice to see there are still some WIP around at your place as well as mine. My desk was taken on Monday and Tuesday as took multiple shots and now is rapidly becoming a dumping ground. Sadly. Hopefully some play time in summer holidays, they're my favourite time of year with big celebrations like Jesus' birthday and new year bringing our family together. There's definitely a special warm feeling about this time of year.
I pray your celebrations are joy filled and your year ahead is a healthy and happy one, Julia. And thanks so much for still holding the fury in deskland. It's really appreciated so much.
Happy WOYWW!!

PS RosA is sick with shingles, had treatment in good time but it's a bad time of the year to be getting them too.

Great looking desk this week from you too. As you say, the important thing is to enjoy the spirit of Christmas and what doesn't get done simply doesn't get done - enjoy the time with your family and a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and to my fellow "deskers"!

Happy WOYWW and Merry Christmas to you. You had sunshine yesterday! We seem to have been stuck in cloud for far too long. Ali x #10
Morning Julia. I'm back having realised I hadn't posted since BEFORE the crop! Oops!!! Have a very special family Christmas dear girl. Take care of yourself as well as all the caring you do for everyone else.
God bless.
Margaret - no idea of the number, forgot to look in my hurry to link up! Oh dear, definitely losing the plot!!
Hi Julia, I have made a list Lol! and you're on the top for today then I'm off to the Gym though I can't imagine when the next visit will be, fetching mum and dad for the weekend so that should be a good enough work-out Hee Hee! Have a great Christmas and an even better New Year. Angela x 14 xXx
Hello Julia. Glad I'm not the only one still making for Christmas. As I'm 'under the weather' as they say what isn't done will stay undone. Does that bit of dust, a stray cobweb etc matter really.Would just like to finish card for DH - he is very supportive of all my crafting events etc :-) he deserves one made by me.
Have a wonderful Christmas dear Julia and I wish the a happy and healthy 2017 . Anne x #13
Well, we got here, despite everything in 2016. Wishing you wonderful times for next year, you deserve it 💖
Hugs, LLJ 15 xxx
Hi Julia, Hope you get everything done you need to and can enjoy Christmas, with plenty of laughter, cake, presents, cake and well more cake.
Thank you for the Christmas card.
Happy WOYWW

Love your desk this week - the little character is so cute and I had to laugh as I have gold sprayed walnuts in my decoration box that I can't bear to throw out for sentimental reasons! Have a wonderful Christmas,
Hugs,

Ah... golden walnuts! Definitely not for the bin! What an interesting collection of stuff, including hologaphic snow!
Happy WOYWW,

Hi Julia, love the new favourite character. Cadbury's Chocolate Buttons- just the best ever. Sending you love and lots of wishes for a better 2017. Have just realised I still have to make Beloved Hubbys card- why is he always the hardest one to make for?
Love, hugs and happy Christmas to you all, xxxx Shaz #7
Happy holidays Julia, and a very good start of the New Year. See you back in January. Love and hugs from the Netherlands, Marit #19
Hello!!!
Merry Solstice/Yule/Christmas etc....
If you don't want the walnuts, I have a use for them..... ;-)
I had to LOL at the comments above. Autocorrect in full swing what with Fury and flour! It is indeed a busy time for all and the hurried comments say it all. The little figure you've coloured in is very cute, but at first glance I thought it was a cottage. Time to put some specs on, methinks!
Keep well, keep smiling. Hope your Christmas is wonderful.

Back with you at last Julia and it's so good to be here again. I hope you have time to sit down and loose yourself in a bit of relaxation while you make your canvas, it's too easy to get carried away with all the preparations isn't it and, like you say, it doesn't really matter what gets done and what doesn't we'll still have a good time.
Wishing you Happy Festivities lovely lady and and a Healthy 2017, lets hope it's a peaceful one.
Take Care
Hugs Lisa #23
Cute little Christmas character! At first I thought it was a whimsy house, but now I can see it's a little person sort of thing! Wishing you a very merry Christmas, Julia! xx
HUGE apologies in advance for the rather long post but at least I managed to WOYWW this week! xXx
I wish I had taken my picture yesterday morning! My desk was quite tidy then - not so much now. I ended my crafting session in a hurry and my desk shows. Love the character - so very cute!
Happy WOYWW
May you and your family have a lovely holiday season

Hi Julia,
There have been 80 WOYWWs' since my last post!
It's good to be back :)
I was immediately drawn to your open bag of chocolate buttons and then disappointed to read it was empty?!! I trust you have more in stock for
the Season of treats...!
Merry Christmas & a Sparkly New Year

Yes, thankfully we are all still breathing! As the whirlwind of Christmas sneaks up on us-the cleaning-the baking-the buying- the wrapping- I wish for you all the wonders of the season, and peace and happiness on Christmas Day and beyond. Merry Christmas!
I've just been given a bag of glittered fir cones - your golden walnuts and my glittered fir cones ......must be something we can do!!! lol
Have yourself a merry, merry Christmas with lots of blessings in the New Year.

Have a beautiful Holiday Julia, ( I did grin over the phone cord peeking out across the desk from the phone) but, I wanted to thank you for hosting this hop every week I truly enjoy this more than I ever would have thought. ~Stacy #30
Have a wonderful Christmas Julia.

I say, you can't be neat and make cards too. My work room has been a disaster for over a month, butttt, tomorrow, with the help of my husband, will clear it all up, move it and make room for our grandkids to play pool and enjoy the holiday week end. Merry Christmas. Edna B.
Hope you get all your jobs done. Have a wonderful Christmas Julia - all the best. x Jo and family
First of all Thank You for another year of friendship and fun. We have a lot to be grateful for when we sit at our computers to do our WOYWW entries each week. Lovely to see so many have kept going through the years and it is all down to one person - YOU! From the bottom of my heart Thank YOU you have no idea how the friendships have helped, especially in the latter part of this year when I was not as private as I used to be about what was going on in my life.
Hope by now that your canvas is finished and ready to be given away - and that you took a photo that we can see it. Love your little Christmas Character, what have you done with him/her?
Well, get on with the jobs Julia, our heating has broken down, no hot water nothing so am sat with a halogen thing on in the bedroom waiting for an engineer to call.
May I take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Happy Christmas and all the Best for the New Year.
Loads of Hugs, Neet 22 xxxxx
Hey Julia! Well there is sooooo much to do before the Christmas season. I hope that you get all of your chores done and you might just find the creative time that you need.
Would like to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season. ♥ Full of joy and peacefulness.
