Another week has flown and my work desk is suffering after Sunday's Christmas Card workshop. I still haven't cleared everything away as I'm still using most of it to finish my cards and now my Advent Tag Thingy is on the go.
May I introduce you to Dot, my Advent Angel, tag 2, named after my lovely friend Dot who is always so helpful. I wish the photo would show her sparkle.
WOYWW 76... well here's the awful evidence but I can redeem myself somewhat later.
I pushed it back and still couldn't get going on here so I decamped into the living room and worked on a small folding coffee table.(next pic) I worked here happily making three more additions to my Advent Thingy. (Thingy because I don't know yet how all the items will be displayed). As I shared in an earlier post, they are tags from IKEA which I am altering.
Well I will now shock all those who know what a messer I am...the shock is that I cleared up!! Here's the proof and NO! I did NOT take this next photo earlier!! How very dare you if you thought that!
You can guess which is mine.... to the right....one of my favourite Polish mugs and one slice of toast with yummy homemade chicken liver pate, with sherry and herbs in it... guess who gets the TWO slices?
If you want to see more mayhem just like mine then there are over a hundred crafters sharing their wonderful spaces, ie., messes, (but a few tidy ones) over at our illustrious leader Julia's blog... Stamping Ground.
Here's Sidney Snowman, Tag 3. I used DecoArt Snow Paint over one of the IKEA tags.
Snowflakes, tag 4, made with leftover bits from my production line cards.
That's four I've made so only 20 to go! All together now "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...... la, la la, la la etc.," It must be getting close if I've started thinking about it!

What a lovely tidy desk you have but some very interesting looking items on there. Oh pate on toast - where's mine? Thanks for sharing your workspace with us. Best wishes, Kym xxx (WOYWW No 34)
Great post today Jo, lots of stuff to look at. MMmmmm pate on toast - now that is something I've not had for a very long time. Must had pate to my tesco.com grocery order!
Thanks for the lovely card, it came today. I'm guessing the Japanese ladies are your own design? they are fab, the paper is beautiful too.

PS - do those tags come in a pack at Ikea?
Great looking desk and I love 'Dot' S #16
Love your Advent Angel, and that messy desk makes me feel better !
Marilyn
Love your advent angel and your Sidney snowman! Happy WOYWW #143
lovely tags can't wait to see them all complete and displayed however you decide to show them.
Love the desks and the tags are brilliant - bet pate sales have gone up now lol
Love your tags Jo and is that me or another Dot ?, wish I looked like that if it is
i like the idea of doing something for advent but i don't know if i can find the time since the season is approaching so quickly. love your mug!
happy WOYWW from #20
Mmmmmmmmm yum yum pate. Never made it myself - happy to buy it from Sainsburys. Love the tags.

Lovely tags and now I'm off to eat something, anything, after seeing your toast and pate. elizabeth #113
Lovely Angel Dot... she is fab in pink. That toast looks like it has peanut butter on it, I don't eat meat but if it was peanut butter, then yummy.
Thanks for your advice, I do resort to that tactic sometimes.
Have a wonderful week what's left of it.
Sue xx 71
love your snowman tag.
Love the tags Jo, especially the top one and am looking forward to see how you display them all. Just had a thought, perhaps you could do your own 12 tags of Christmas but make them all angels - as if you didn't have enough to do LOL Anne xx
Lovely tags and the messy desk to reassure me that I'm not the only who can create havoc with bits of paper ;)
Mmmmm, don't spose there is any pate left by now? gorgeous tags and have a great weekend
xx
Lisa (38 and also aged 40 lol )
Love it! My desk is like this all the time (minus the great mug and the toast....) Love what you've done as well.
Sorry for not visiting back earlier - the anniversary dinner was a total non-event (went down with flu: OK in the morning, and by evening I was in bed!) Peter's got it as well, so we've been housebound the entire week. I only really got going again yesterday, and still feeling cottonwool-ish so big apologies for not leaving a comment earlier.
Have a great weekend!
The tags are fab - and such a lovely idea Jo, you really are an inspiration. Ain't Doone sweet - that has to be the most treasure like ATC ever. I'm typing on Sunday..a day we reserve for soup and pate - I love the stuff!
Lovely tags! I too thought you were having Nutella! Sorry I am so late! Susan xxox #17
Wow, Jo. To think I nearly missed these lovely tags! They are fun and funky. Sorry I'm so late getting here. You would think since I had most of my obligations out of the way, I would have freed up a bit more computer time. Unfortunately, what happened was, I was so far behind, I became overwhelmed. Will try to do better this week.
