My desk this week is no different then last week. Haven't done a blasted thing towards making anything creative. It has become the depository for all sorts of bits and pieces. Latest that my mail lady brought me is a case with magnetic sheets that I am hoping to organize my Spellbinders and thinner metal dies into. Check back later and I will show you what I have done....maybe in a couple weeks.
Here is the last project I completed on my desk before my trip. My button fairy/Christmas angels. I just realized they are really monochromatic but hey...I like them!

| Button Fairy Christmas Angels made using buttons, petaloo flowers, and the Tim Holtz dress form die and wings dies. |
Okay that's it for me! I know I am a little later then I usually am posting but hey...better late to the dance then not at all! I am going to go make another cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal and come back and look through a few blogs.
Hope everyone has a safe and uneventful holiday. Happy Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Yule!
Happy Holidays!
Hey, those fairies are really cute.
ReplyDeleteI have made a couple of storage books for the dies using the magnetic stuff, they work really well and are not too difficult or time consuming

ReplyDeleteWhy is it that the moment you are not using a desk it becomes a dumping ground? Mine is exactly the same. I love those fairies and your photos of your cruise are wonderful. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a very Happy Christmas. Caro (#65)

ReplyDeleteHi Vickie,
ReplyDeleteI love all your supplies!!! Your button fairy angels are very cute.
I will definitely check out your cruise photos. Oh, to be in a warmer climate right now. It was 11 degrees driving in to work this morning (yes, I'm at work today)....
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit, Vickie, it's always so lovely to see you.
ReplyDeleteYour cruise looks and sounds wonderful. I'm very envious as we sit in the pouring rain yet again here in the UK.
Just wanted to say I hope your Christmas is a happy one and the New Year Peaceful and brings with it all that you wish for.
Happy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteWondered where you were when I checked yesterday. Good to see you on here and love the button fairies you have been making.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas, stay safe and well and see you soon (well via blogland that is).
Hugs, Neet 12 xx
Your fairies are so lovely Vicky, thanks for telling us how you made them too. I am still doing catch-up but will come back to look at your cruise photos. Thanks for visiting me too! Hugs, Anne x #20
ReplyDeleteLove those fairies!! They're so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteYour cruise looked amazing - what a time you had. There's somewhere to go on my bucket list, I tell you :)
Thanks for all your positive comments and support this year - it has meant a huge amount to me, truly. May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and even better 2013...

Hey, Vickie! Thanks for coming by the Playhouse! I've come to return the flavor and I just enjoyed several minutes on a Carnival cruise from New Orleans to the Cary Bean!! That was fun, thanks for the photo shares! It's lovely that you and your daughter did this. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and all the best in the New Year with no major flare-ups!! Darnell
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a good time on your cruise. Your fairy-angels are very colourful - well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit, and I'm glad you like my hubby's little bear. His paws are now mended as best I could do it, and I want to add some little red patches too. His clothes are in the wash and he looks very vulnerable in his naked state!!
Hope you have a great time over Christmas, and that we all manage to survive it without overdoing things and making ourselves sick!
Happy belated WOYWW,

Hi vicky
ReplyDeleteif you wanted the cute polar bear die on my desk this week I got it from memory box (love their dies) they also make a matching wooden stamp... although I thought it was abit expensive I brought it anyway. The die is quite small and I wish I had brought the bigger size.
have a great Christmas

Hi Vickie,
ReplyDeleteThanka for dropping and for your kind comment re my backgrounds. Your cruise sounds great!
And I think wrangling or herding cats could almost be a full time job?
Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year :)
Love those button fairies. Have a wonderful Christmas, relaxing with your family. xx Maggie #48
ReplyDeleteHaha, better late than never, so true! :) And, since I know you've a Dollar Tree nearby somewhere surely, I'll tell you about the magnetic sheets they have there, for a buck! They are pretty big and meant to cover heating/ac vents, but I bought some and sure enough the metal dies stick really well to them, so if you didn't get enough magnetic sheets in your new set it might be cheaper to look there to make up the difference. :) Anyways, thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment already, I might have gotten my post earlier than you but I am certainly making up in slowness on getting around to commenting! Hugs and stay warm this next week! Deeyll #33
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki!
ReplyDeleteI know I’ve not joined in with WOYWW just recently but I’ll be back in the new year for sure.
I just wanted to pop by to say thanks for all the fun and inspiration you’ve shared over the last year and to wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Vickie! Loved the pictures of your cruise. My favorite was the towel creature! How amazing is that! I've only been to a cruise once and it was a local one. I did spend a lot of time in the library! But the food was fabulous! Sorry to hear you had issues with the service.Your button fairies are wonderful! A blessed Christmas to you and your loved ones. May you have the choicest gifts of the season- love, joy, hope and peace beyond understanding. AND good health! See you in the next round of WOYWWs in 2013! Patsy from
