WOYWW

Happy WOYWW well today I find my space a mess stamps are out in the middle of making another Christmas card with a shark none the less, lol so you'll see I received some Happy Mail from Debra I've already started to go through the ribbons and roll them up to fit in my box . Now I have a huge itch to tidy this place up now that I've showed it off lol

You'll notice I have a huge cuppa mocha coffee which is cold now will nuke it soon 

So here's my space this week and I do have my tree up and 

we don't have room for a star and he didn't want any garland on it next year there will be something but I thought why not he did have to cut it down a 4 inches to fit and bring it up the stairs it's so nice to have a tree up it's been 3 years since we could. Yep it's the only thing in this room lol we still have to pick out some furniture and are having a hard time deciding on anything for any space.

So that is how I spent most of my time last week getting the house all set for Christmas 

That's not a present under the tree either it's a Card keepsake box that I have tucked under all set to enjoy. So if you wanna swap me a Christmas Card I'd be happy to I can do a few for sure.

Happy WOYWW everyone !!!

Last week I was asked to take a picture of my desk with my lamp on so here it is 

Took this last week

So This Christmas stuff has been taking up my time all of last week sorting through it all 

seeing I haven't opened these boxes in 3 years now. There are more of them but these where just close and slightly open to show where my time has been spent on 

Hanging garlands, Making a Wreath, Starting to put the lights on our tree to only realize I still need to buy more. Will take a picture when it's all done for you all 

Which = a Tidy desk again lol

Hammer so I could put nails in some of the top of our trims to hang the garlands :)

So just a quick post and I have a Digi Freebie Here for everyone if they would like it 

Have a wonderful day 

hugs Nikki 

I'll try to visit everyone as soon as I can :)

Little Snowman

Here's A little Christmas Card I just finished up as I look at the Christmas Countdown there is only 48 days left YIKES This is the 1st year I can decorate our house which is so exciting. I don't know what will work or where everything will go but it will be fun to find out ... I think it's a great reason to buy more decorations but I'm pretty sure the DH is like NOOOOOoo you have so much already lol
Looks like a lot but all those glass decorations take up so much room with there own little boxes and stuff.

So I'm still creating Xmas papers with Non Xmas Papers that's what all my little Mini

WOYWW

Happy WOYWW and Welcome to my Winter Style Blog at the moment I love to edit my blog when I can find the time 

So here's my space working on some Christmas Cards I haven't done much this week at all and I plan on decorating the house seeing this will be the 1st year it gets to be decorated I no longer remember everything I own it's been such a long time and I've bought a few odds n ends that haven't left their packages yet to add more into our tree and around the house it will be interesting to see how it all turns out and if I shall be adding to my Christmas stuff (pretty sure that's a big old yes btw lol) 

 Here's my space I've been using the gold n silver foils inside my cards they are perfect for the little insert pages and they are all Christmas why not use them to add that little extra something 

Up top on my shelf is all the Christmas cards I have made so far ... still need some more to have enough for everyone.

So that's all that I can going on at the moment nothing to fancy just everything from last week a little moved around. 

thanks for popping in and I'll try my best to visit you asap 

hugs Nikki 

So what do you think of my new blog banner ?

Happy WOYWW 

Here's my Space today with a little Happy mail from Tracy that I won a while ago and it's all to do with CHRISTMAS !!! So Kewl to have won it and love the new stamp that will be on a few cards 

Seeing I've been making lots of them when ever I can find the time. The Red paper goes in my cards as inserts so most of the cards can be reused if people need one in a pinch. Why not make Pay it forward cards the bigger ones have one sheet in them with a paper clip holding them in place so they can just swap out the paper and easy new card for someone 

Pull out of my whole space the witch had to be up top seeing Halloween is this weekend I still don't know what I will be but I do know BLUE hair is going to happen  and that's about all I know lol

Here's my whole space you can see the untouched pumpkin Paper mache in the corner so sad I haven't done anything to it perhaps it will get done over next year or be scraped :P

thanks for popping in

Hugs Nikki

I'll try to visit everyone I can too
