Okay, I'm not ready for Christmas and no amount of stalling, walking backwards, going to bed late or getting up very early seems to make the day go any slower or make it any longer. I remember when I was little, being told that it was the longest day (or the shortest day) sent me into a kind of panic! The thought of spending even longer time at school or shorter time doing something I liked would totally freak me out! I even think I once told the teacher that I couldn't possibly stay any longer as I'd miss my bus home and my mum
didn't know that the day was longer...! Of course everybody laughed. Now I know the day isn't actually longer or shorter...well, I don't think it is... but weeks do seem to fly by, as it's Wednesday already! and time for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday, bringing a bit of sanity (or insanity) to the middle of the week!

It's not too bad, is it!?! Still colouring a few last minute cards and making tags as I've misplaced the ones I bought... Want to join in? (that's with WOYWW, not making tags...although you're quite welcome!) Then hop over to Julia's Stamping Ground, but be warned...the week will go even faster! Meanwhile, Mrs Dunnit, how did you get that bit of holly artwork on your Titles??? Very Cool....

I'm sure every day gets a little shorter as we get older so maybe I should start walking backwards from now on? :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you and yours have a really wonderful Christmas and 2011 brings you all you wish yourselves.

I find that a messy desk is a productive desk, well most of the time anyways lol.. Happy woyww and Happy Christmas too, congrats on all your followers
ReplyDeleteI know all about misplacing things... I've had to buy more tools and open more reels of tape and forget about trying to find things in the hope that they'll turn up in their own good time.
ReplyDeleteHowever, hand made tags will be better than bought ones any day!
Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas!

ReplyDeleteJust spent too long trying to find some TH paper (stack) and given up. Bah humbug!
ReplyDeleteMaybe walking backwards will help me - need something to put more hours in the day. Bog-eyed with getting up early to try to extend the day.
Merry Crimbo!
hEHe, I can relate been there done that too...lol The dangers of a crafty productive workspace.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek and sharing. Happy Holidays and crative crafting in the New Year.
Hugs, Marjo #5

ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW and Merry Christmas!

I love your long/short story, so amusing. Just how children think although I must admit I still think like a child. Does that mean I haven't grown up or am soooo old that I've gone backwards?????
ReplyDeleteHugs Joanne xx
Congrats on all your followers and thank you for the freebie its lovely. Have a great Christmas & New Year - big hugs xx
ReplyDeleteWalking backwards to make the time go slower sounds a great trick to me, if you master it, let us know!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you for the image! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOoooo LOVE your work desk!! Lots of creative stuff going on here :)
ReplyDeleteI'm #50 this week. Please stop by and take a look when you get a chance :)
Merry Christmas
Happy Christmas!!!! Funny, isn't it, how our craft making skills come into their own when we need a few tags for gifts!!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you luck on feeling more caught up (whether you or not) - thanks so much for the snoop. S #31
ReplyDeleteI really hate to point out to you that yesterday actually WAS the shortest day as it was the Winter Solstice!!! Lol!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Girlfriend, I love this week's freebie! it's perfect for me since I didn't get Christmas cards sent out, now I can do New Year cards in January! and since we have a new baby kitty, it's perfect for us! Thanks so much, Paula
ReplyDeleteI am finding this week to be very long. The tags look great. #58
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn you are right your desk is pretty tidy for you, but looks as though you are busy colouring though. I hope you have a wonderful Xmas, fab digi stamp to, thanks for that. With love and hugs Shirleyxxx
ReplyDeleteI love that shortest day story - bless little Spyder! Lovely artwork as always, and thanks for filling our art coffers over the year.
ReplyDeleteBernie #59
I'm right there with you, dear. I am not ready either. But I'm here to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday.
ReplyDeleteyip i think it is gonna pass me by in a blur this year with one thing and another.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely day on saturday - long or short!

Hi, having gone through more Christmasses than I choose to remember I can only say that from experience everything that has to be done gets done, and what doesn't you didn't need to do anyway - and nobody will notice or care because they will be having too much of a good time. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a enjoyable day. Elizabeth #51
ReplyDeleteLove the coloring going on at your desk. Aren't childhood memories grand...you never have to make the same mistakes over again, and they become more precious as years go by. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to #2!
ReplyDeleteAha, we are alike, the shortest and longest day thing - I was the same. Still don't much trust the shortest day!! The holly and candy canes and blah are all part of a free blog layout design from LeeLou blogs there's a link right at the very centre top on my page....it was FABULOUSLY easy to install, and I lost no gadgets or pics!
ReplyDeleteLove that you're making tags too, I guess I will be till we leave the house on Christmas Morning!!
Loved reading your post and know exactly what you mean! Have a great Christmas,
ReplyDeletelove JoZarty x
Never tried walking backwards... but with my lack of grace and coordination I'd probably fall over, so it's maybe better that I don't. The desk looks very productive!
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks vert busy Lyn, thanks for the fab freebie too
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you and yours
Hugs Jackie x
Lovely freebie. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel Lyn, I nowhere near ready for the Big Day yet lol. Thanks for the freebie :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Very Merry Christmas & a Happy, Healthy New Year!

Does't look so bad for someone who is still working away. I can never figure out how to downsize the freebies. Have a great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely freebie, always appreciated. Lots happening on your desk. The shortest day has been and gone a big sigh of relief.
ReplyDeleteSandra
Love your tags on the desk and the colouring - thanks for the freebie and have a great Christmas however organised your are! Nicky ~ 52
ReplyDelete/love the Forever friends drawing and your digi is really great too.
ReplyDeleteI believe someone took days out of the calendar because there is no way Christmas is Saturday. And I'll join you in making tags, right after I get the gifts wrapped!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the image.
Thanks for the infor on the digi sizing!! I will give it a go later and let you know if I figured it out. #70
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn

Hey Spydie! (the Broadway show named after you---- well, Spiderman---- isn't doing so well in previews.....another actor hurt in the crazy flying contraptions they're trying to use, but I digress...) Love seeing your glittery projects and clear stamps....I'm beginning to like that type of stamp a lot....Happy Holidays! And thx for popping by! *smile*

ReplyDeleteI'm still working on some things for Christmas too, but as I get older, I do what I can and don't much sweat what I can't lol. That said I have till Jan. 6 for cards to arrive (that's my story and I'm sticking to it lol).
ReplyDeleteTFS! #65 :D
P.S. Love the longer day story!

Great story, it had me laughing out loud.
ReplyDeleteThe days are definitely flying by, I have only today to get all my craft stuff out of the kitchen and here I sit on line. Guess that explains why time flies for me. LOL
Merry Christmas.
