Let your heart be light ... Merry Christmas to all my WOYWW friends and their families.
Here's my desk - not a "C" card in sight (they are hiding around the corner)
So what's on?
Ages ago I decided to use a mountboard house I had bought at a craft show and cover it in paper which my lovely friend, Lorraine, had given to me all to do with Halloween. I had the Graphic 45 sheets with Alice on - perfect for the job. I set to and began mounting the various Alice bits on black cardstock ready to decorate my house with. Covered all the house pages with the papers from Lorraine and began sticking things in.
Then I had a break! Big mistake! Lost all my bits!
Hunted high and low for them (this was pre-Halloween I might add), had a strop or two, sulked in my room, did all the things you do but still could not find them.
Last week I was in my scrap box looking in the packet that houses black paper/card when I pulled out a poly bag - full of Alice things. Yippee! I had found them. Now I am going to have a day where I finish off my house in time for Halloween 2012 - well a gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do. (and it will be such a change from Christmas).
Now hop on over to Julia's and see what the other WOYWW'ers have to offer.
My sincerest wishes for a Happy Christmas to you all. xxx

thanks for the 4 days to christmas peek of your workdesk......wishing you and yours a wonderful christmas...hugs kath xxx
It looks great already! Will look forward to the finished creation.
Happy Christmas!
LOL... that is just the sort of thing I would do... to keep them safe!! It will make such a nice change to be doing Halloween stuff you will probably enjoy the process even more!!
Have a lovely Christmas!! Annette #8
Great post, and I am so glad this happens to others. I wonder sometimes if I'm losing my mind..misplacing what I have plans for. I can't find 2 of my bone folders, and now I realize I put my husbands gifts in a "SPECIAL" place and I have yet to find them. I'll be really busy today looking.
May you and yours have a wonderful Holiday and Happy WOYWW.
Oh yes you found it! and only 23 months late well done, mine ususally tuern up the night AFTER I needed them, lol
Happy WOYWW and Happy Christmas,

Oooh its looking fabulous so far - that often happens to me too (the bag of bits wandering off by itself as I know I dont tidy them away!) - and I strop and sulk for days too its nice to know I am not the only one! Have a wonderful Christmas. Sunshine Girl – No 38
wow that is organised getting ready for next Halloween.... impressive...Your desk looks so wonderfully seasonal, even if it isn't for Christmas!!!.... hope you have a really wonderful holiday season...xx
Happy halloween crafting :-)
Hugs,

Haha I'm sure all us crafty types can relate to this post. i know I've done just the same. Normally, it's when I'm having the occasional tidy up and clear-out that I come across stuff I'd "lost" or "misplaced". lol. Or I discover the perfect embellishment which I could have used on that project I just this minute finished etc. And I agree, how nice it is to make projects that have nothing to do with the festive season. Have a wonderful Xmas my friend & see you in the New Year. Pxxxxx
YAY Neet glad you found your bits...I hate it when I lose mine. Hope you and your family enjoy a Merry Christmas holiday. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #44
Your desk is looking very neat Neet :-))
Good job you found all your bits as it would have been a shame not to make this lovely little house.
Have a great Christmas

Ha! This post rang a bell with me! How many times has something been so lost I've had a paddy about it and then..oh look.. it was under the cat/ book/ husband (delete as appropriate) Glad you found it anyway - have fun creating.
Wishing you joy and happiness this Christmas,
Hugs, LLJ #43 xx
Hi there Jude, I did smile at your failure to find Alice - till you were not looking for them - how often do we do that - I usually find as I am praying please please Lord help I put my hand on them! Happy WOYWW! and thanks so much for being a blessing to me through 2012.
All the blessings of the season as we celebrate the birth of the dear Lord Jesus and the greatest gift of all, love Shaz in oz. x
happy holidays, Neet!! :))
Isn't it nice when we find things that we thought we lost??? It happens to me all the time - it is just so unfortunate that we have to go through the stress of looking for them in the first place! Ha, ha...
Have a lovely Christmas and enjoy your Halloween 2012 making!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
I'm always losing things and then finding them years later, it's maddening, but a nice surprise when you realise you didn't throw them out with the trash! Have a crafty week! Merry Christmas! and a HaPpY WoYwW

Lol, I can't believe you're working on Halloween! You're either really, really late, or really, really early!! Have a brilliant Christmas, see you in 2012.

What a darling little house! It's the panic while looking for things you know you had that puts us in an uncomfortable tither! Glad you found them! Thanks for the peek and have a Wonderful Christmas and All The Best for 2012
There’s nothing like getting started on projects in good time, Lol!
I’m sure your little house project is going to look fab when it’s all finished and I look forward to seeing the finished article.
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas.

So glad you found your bits! I've found my bobs in all kinds of weird places, stuck to the back of things, inside of books etc. I guess we are not only artist but treasure hunters too...LOL. Hope you and yours have a wonderful Holiday Season! ~ WOYWW #29 ~Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
That looks like a great project
Serendipity! Great find and how marvellous to move off Christmas..will be inspiring you suddenly for the next stuff!
The Halloween House is looking good! Have a fabulous Christmas and thanks for sharing your desk x
Great to be doing a bit of non Christmas related stuff. You look so organised! Got up at 6.15 this am, went to the loo, linked up, it was dark, the heating hadn't kicked in so I went back to bed!!
Hugs Jo x
Neet - there is NOTHING worse that losing your bits, unless it is having someone trim your bush when you'd rather it be left alone...
hope your trees, bushes bits and bobs are all very beautiful and christmassy now and through out 2012 (I bet they are)
much love,
dx
Nothing like being ahead of the game. I know the feeling of frustration it causes when you can't put yout hand on something that you know just has to be there. When the handfork goes missing when I'm gardening I know now to 1st check the rubbish bin!!!! Hope you have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year to you. Hugs Mrs A.
Just watching Nigel Slater as I catch up with my WOYWW hop. Glass of wine on my table. Parcels wrapped and tree trimmed. Happy Christmas. x Jo
That's hilarious! There must be the same black hole in your house as there is in mine! A blessed Christmas to you and your family too! Patsy from

Great house, Have a very Merry Christmas, Hugs May x x x x x
Oooh, 10 months, you can do it - just don't hide the bits away again! Merry Christmas to you and all yours x
I'm glad I'm not the only one who 'loses' things in the craft room.
Have a great Christmas.

Isn't it nice when we come across that item that we thought we lost forever?!? The house looks cool already.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Oh, if I were given a tenner for every time I've done something similar I'd be able to blow it on an awful lot of Graphic45 and Alice elements :)) Look forward to seeing your completed house. In the meantime, enjoy the change from all things Christmassy. Merry Christmas! Elizabeth x #46

I like your house and I think it will be fabulous with the Alice paper on it. I'm with you, enough with the "C" crafting! Let's move on... Halloween is good, get a jump for next year.
Your house looks fabulous Neet, I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.
Have a Wonderful Christmas.
