WOYWW 288 (Such a mess - not worth looking)

Hi peeps!

This is my terrible mess! You have been warned! So you can still turn round and walk away.....

Alright, if you insist, here we go:

I have no project on the go at the moment. I’ve finished my embroidery (cross stitch on my linen hand towel), but that’s not what you want to see I guess.

Last week we spent the week in Valencia. We felt we needed a little holiday. (Have a look at the photos at my previous blog). The city map is still on my desk and I think I might use it for scrapbooking at some stage.
My first Christmas card has arrived and takes proud place on my desk (top left). Further to the right past the punches is a postcard with an image of a medieval lady. It was sent to me from Russia through Postcrossing.com.

In front of the card are two rosettes, which I made for my latest scrapbook layout. I made three and only used one in the end.

The green/black/white thing in the foreground is my laptop, on top of which lies a dark green gadget. This is an ‘e.dentifier’ which I need for online banking. I have become a grandma of a little grandson in Italy and I’m going to send him some money.

The two plastic bags on top of the laptop are a lovely surprise. They contain gorgeous charms and were sent to me (all the way from Australia) because I was voted ‘Star Witness’ at CSI Color, Stories and Inspiration. They came in these sweet little bags. I was really chuffed! (Is that a terribly British word? OK: it means ‘very pleased’)

That’s it for today. I’ll try to visit as many of your desks as I can over the course of the week (Yes, I like to take my time)

Have a great week!

Lisca

Happy WOYWW! Thank you for dropping by and leaving me a lovely "blog hug"! Wow, there's so much to see on your blog today. That is a lovely first Christmas card you got and I would be chuffed as well if I received those embellishments. The first time I came across the word chuffed, I had to look it up!
Wishing you all the best during this blessed season!
Hugs,
