This was my desk mid morning yesterday, in process of some cardmaking i was in the zone and made a good 25 by forcing my self to use up scraps and bits that i had stamped and then not used.
And this was my desk by the end of the night as while i was crafting i was also multi tasking in the kitchen gingerbread on one work surface and vanilla and chocolate bean shortbread to do our thank you gifts for the teachers, lollypop man, bin men, and the postie.
And here are the boxes i made with some DSP and the simply scored and a bit of acetate for the lids.
If we are not WOYWW-ing next week as its Christmas day then i hope that you all have a lovely Christmas and New Year, and thanks for the fun this year and all the hours snooping about your desks.
ETA: i have managed to get round to all 58 posted links so far this morning any others posted after now i may get to in the week xx thanks for stopping by
Until next time

We really need a craft session using scraps and pre stamped images, maybe a NY resolution for the bears.
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas.
Wow what a production line you had going there - those treats look delicious.
Love your ink pad racks at the back of your desk.

My goodness, weren't you productive! So nice of you to give so many goodies! My girl and I still hope to make more cookies and pop over to a couple of neighbors with them. Thanks for visiting/commenting at my blog. Since you mentioned sending a card to Newtown, I thought I'd share something my sister shared on Facebook: http://newtown.patch.com/announcements/help-our-sandy-hook-pta-family They have an address if you want to make a snowflake to decorate the kids' new school. Happy WOYWW from Laura #77
Love all your Xmas goodies. Have a great Xmas and thanks for popping by to me.

Ah, Mrs. C., you are youth! I've had to lean back in my chair and fan myself a bit after reading all that you have been up to, including early morning visits to 58 WOYWWers. Gasp!
Honey, I wonder, could you manage to run over here and make my family some of those wonderful goodies?!
Thank you for stopping by the Playhouse! All the best to you and your family for a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!!

All those sweet treats are making me feel hungry! I forced myself to use up most of my fabric scraps in the presents I made, so I feel your pain! Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas to you! Lucy #20 x
Wow Charlie - 25! You have been a very busy bee - well done. Loving your boxes too. Thanks for your visit earlier and hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Hugs, Anne x #20
Good grief Charlie, you're very in the zone....give a busy person a job.! I shall try to follow your lead with using up bits and pieces, twenty five cards is amazing! Now, don't forget to have a rest over the coming week. Happy Christmas!
My goodness your desk looks soooo bust=y with so many different crafty things going on! Have a fabulous Christmas! Happy WOYWW!

Hi Charlie, how good are you, multi tasking and all that - something I can't do I'm afraid so I leave the cooking to hubby lol.
