WOYWW 163

Before I get to show you my workspace I want to thank everyone for all the comments and good wishes for me. I think the shingles is gradually going, but it certainly is taking its time! At least now the pain is responding better to the painkillers and this morning was the first time that I didn't have to get up early because of the pain.

The main reason for this post, of course, is for WOYWW 163 - yes, it's the same number as last week as poor Julia got it wrong then, so easily done.

Most of what you see today has been blogged about already.

To my left you can see the black and gold card I made last night - can see it better here - was pleased with how that turned out. Behind the mug of coffee is a pile of recently made Christmas cards. I put inserts in and bagged and labelled, so I'm up to date with that. It was one of my new year's resolutions to do this every week to avoid having the dreadful job of having to bag up too many cards at once. I now have over 160 Christmas cards made, so I'm on track!

To the far left are cards that have recently been made using the My Craft Studio everyday essentials kit - just right for those days when I didn't feel up to much, but still wanted something to do.

To the right you can see the lovely Stampotique stamp that I used for the black and gold card and another pile of cards recently made. I used up quite a few decoupaged bits from the mesh box last week and have now put more in it to encourage me to use up supplies that I've had for years - I'd love to see that mesh box empty!

Once again, thanks to everyone who visits and for your comments - much appreciated - but I also understand that WOYWW is so popular now that it's difficult to get round to too many to comment. I'll try my best again this week.
