Well, I said I would, so I did….

| I tidied. And properly put away, ready to start again. Even the glue gun is on charge. There are things waiting to be done, which is just as well, because it looks pretty dull and characterless in this strange tidy mode doesn’t it! There’s a pack of record index cards, I’m putting together an index of stall holders for future WI reference. It will be bound simply with a couple of book rings, but will have a nice cover! On the left is a pile of little gifts waiting to be wrapped. Yep, get me! One of the reasons for doing them now is because I’m frightened I’ll forget them, they’re for giving quite early in December, so no time like the present! |
Having cleared up will pay dividends tomorrow as I start packing for a weekend away with The Coven, scrapbooking, eating and staying up way too late. Should be fun!
Sarah’s funeral was on Monday, her family made the service available online and if you would like the link to see and listen to the tributes, please email me privately. In the light of Sarah’s funeral, we were contacted by Chas, beloved husband of Neet. He’s well, living bravely without Neet. Gosh, we have so many friends to miss and be thankful for.
Join us for some desk showing then will you, add your blog post link here and let us visit over the next couple of days. Stay well and tell ‘em you love them.

wow, I don't recognise where I am.... so tidy! No doubt after the weekend it will be back to normal and hold the contents of your scrapping from the weekend! Have a great time ! Helen xx
Ditto to what Helen said about not recognizing your desk. LOL! However, I'm VERY impressed that you're already wrapping Christmas presents. I've gotten a few gifts for the Grandkids, but only started working on Christmas cards last Sunday. We definitely have good friends to be thankful for. Have fun on your weekend away and Happy WOYWW!
So who's house are you showing today? Where did Julia go and what did you do to her? What a tidy space you have today. Well done you...but I bet it wont last :-)
Hugs,

Oh well done on the tidying. It's always good to have a fresh start. After my window fitting my stuff has been put back - that is, if I can remember where I hid it all for the occasion.🤣 x x Jo 🌈
Oh how tidy is this? I'm afraid my room looks much the same! I have donated lots of cards to various 'cards for seniors' groups which has emptied a drawer. I have disposed of some boxes that contained new craft items...BUt there is still lots to do! Happy WOYWW! Susan xx
Wow Julia! that's too tidy not sure I can look at it again but as you are getting ready to go away this weekend you can be forgiven for making me feel guilty. I really must get back to the sorting again as it is giving me Nightmares. I'm a bit earlier today as I'm taking a class with some old friends making C. Cards though keeping them on track is quite a job on it's own, teaching children was easier Lol! Have a good woyww, hugs Angela x8x
Annie nicked my comment! That is a remarkably tidy desk you’re sharing, it’ll be back to its normal state after the weekend no doubt. You’re very organised with your present buying and wrapping, I must pull my finger out!
Hugs LLJ 2 xx
Ooh the 'T word'....I may have to do that later this week too now (my little craft room is the smallest in the house and warmest and frosty nights later this week). Yes, the past week has been a reminder of the fantastic community woyww created and continues too. Kyla
Oh WOW happy dance, well done Julia! Actually I love it like this, a place for everything and everything in its place. I guess I'm the weird one. Interesting the WI reference is on index cards and not online. Giggling at your coaster with conditional chocolate request, a little different to mine! Really thought my eyes were giving out but was OK towards the end of your post - phew! Enjoy your scrapping away. I was up at 4am for an hour but too early to link, did ponder staying awake for a second hour but sadly no.... Hugs Bj#11
Happy cancelled-knitting-day :( WOYWW! DOH. How did I manage to get thru all the list (so far) and only then realize I never posted here?? Numpty, me.... Gift? Ready to wrap?? Yikes. It's hard to dwell on all we've lost over the years, but lovely to celebrate them and pay tribute. So pleased the service is online and happy to hear Chas is doing well.Enjoy your time with the coven. It will surely lift your spirits.

Hi Julia, I'm so impressed with your oh so tidy desk this week. Are you well?!?! :) I'm still in denial about Christmas. I'd rather it not have to 'celebrate' these days but given that all the adverts are unavoidable now, I suppose I will have to face it - just not now! The memorial service Sarah must have been very moving - such a lovely lady. It's reassuring to hear Chas is doing as well as he can without his beloved Neet - another much missed lovely lady. On that note, I'll wish you a good WOYWW. Hugs, Elizabeth xx #12
