WOYWW #184

I had a wonderful vacation the past couple of weeks but really missed snooping around the WOYWW desks!  My daughter and I went to New Orleans and then on a cruise to the Bahamas!  Lots of fun!  Wondering why I would miss a snoop around desks with a wonderful vacation like that?  Well go check out Stamping Ground and Julia will fill you in on all the deets!

My desk today!  Not much going on to look at.  I have been gone almost two weeks and there has been absolutely nothing going on.


I received my angels from Jozarts swap in the mail when I came home.  WOW talk about some awesome work!  Both of the angels are gorgeous and I love them!  I think I will hang them on the tree then after Christmas move them to the wall in my craft room.

Jozart sent me an angel she named Malayeka!  Love the beautiful purple colors!  


The second angel came from came from Neil and was named Celestia.  


Aren't they gorgeous!  I will be sending out my angels tomorrow to Jozart and the person I owe and angel!  The cruise caused me to put the mailing on hold as life got in the way but I promise they will be there very soon!  

Anyway that is all for me tonight and I will be up early tomorrow to do a hop around the blogs and get my fix before starting decorating my tree and getting the cards out!  Hope everyone has a great week!

  13. Oh marvellous Vicki, what a lovely way to get in a complete relax before the festivities begin, bet the Bahamas were beautiful. Have to be honest, on a trip like that, WOYWW would have come and gone without a second thought for me!!

  25. Hi Vickie,

    I'm glad you had a great time! I've only been to New Orleans once (NOT during Mardi Gras) and loved it, especially the cemeteries and the Voodoo Museum. And I do love a good cruise!

    Welcome back,
    Hugs,

  28. I am in love with your copic pen collection ;)

  29. Yeah for the vaca! And look at you up past midnight!:) We've never been on a cruise but it seems like it would be a blast...did you have to go to New Orleans to get the Bahama cruise? Or did you just want to go there so you went on one of the cruises leaving from there? I'm just so curious, eh? lol Well, now that you're home again I hope you get caught up on your projects and whatnot that you missed and I hope it's not too cold here now! Its been freezy up here my way, but no snow. :( I can take the cold so long as it comes with the pretty white stuff! Otherwise it's just boring! lol Take care and stay warm, perhaps with those Bahama inspired memories, yes? :) Deeyll #48

  35. I think I could give up checking desks for a couple of weeks in the Bahamas! (considering it is snowing & -32C here) What a lovely preChristmas jaunt & to come home to 2 beautiful angels was quite a bonus!

  36. Lovely angels, it really was a lovely swap to be part of! So jealous of your cruise-and the weather! Chris#81

  37. Thanks for your visit and comment, Vickie - so glad you enjoyed your cruise. Don't overdo things now you are home! As for holiday plans at this end, we haven't really got any - Christmas is going to be extremely low key this year with Dad in the home and we're going out for Christmas lunch with Mum, and that's about it. To be honest, it's a relief not to be caught up in all the pre-Christmas frenzy for once.

    When I look at my away-from-desk activities this week, yes, I have been quite busy! There have been family commitments too. I'm now in the middle of another huge clear-out, and making room for loads of stuff we brought back from Mum's yesterday - I'm "rationalising" lol! I'm actually feeling very positive about the sorting of my stuff.

    Your desk always looks awesome even if you haven't been doing much on it - I think it's those fabby rainbow markers in their rack that does it for me lol!! Your two angels are just gorgeous. I'd love to have been part of that swap but couldn't really cope with much more on my plate atm. Maybe it will inspire me to make some of my own angels one day!!

    Happy WOYWW,
