WOYWW #396, 500th Blog Post

Welcome to Wednesday and the first WOYWW of 2017 and the 396th since Julia started the process...What is WOYWW? Go check it out on Julia's blog Stamping Ground and she will fill you in on all the details.

We just got back from another week in California visiting with Heather and her husband Michael for the Christmas holidays so I really haven't had much time to be creative...not only that I just haven't felt much like creating anything dealing with a cough and sinusitis.  Heather and Michael were both sick with a good old head cold so I am not surprised we caught it.  Check out my previous post regarding the trip.  

So my desk this week...                                  
 I have been doing some rearranging and cleaning up but you can't tell it today!  I decided that having all the bling on the roundy round thing in the upper right was too much so I moved it all to the one on the back wall and put the flowers in the drawers.  I have a lot of storage and need to maximize its use.  I seem to lose things and can't find stuff half the time and I am tired of it.  I have some more ideas that I am going to do soon and will be getting rid of more stuff!

Speaking of which...the counter on my blog post page just informed me that this is my 500th post since I started the blog.  I think that is reason to celebrate.  I think I am going to have some kind of giveaway but haven't decided what since I was just informed of the momentous occasion!  Stay tuned I will figure something out by next week!

I posted pictures on the previous post showing some cards I made last month.  I am going to start my art journaling again this week and probably some more cards for a swap I participate in.  Did I show you the little easels I made for the 12 Days of Christmas swap?  Would you like to see what I received?  It is an awesome lot of loot!

I think I made out very well on the 12 Days of Christmas gifts.  I had a lot of fun doing this swap!
I am glad the holidays are over though and I look forward to quieter times.  Won't go into politics right now but lots of changes are on the way and we might ought to rest up now.  Happy New Year!
