Two weeks today people! Two weeks! I have no idea if Julia will be hosting a
What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday on Christmas Day but I think it would be very interesting... How many of us have to make room for guests to sleep or eat I wonder and how many desks will be laden with new stash or covered with the remains of a late night wrapping frenzy?
Anyway, here's mine as of Tuesday late morning.
The bottom layer and all the bowls are for
Journal Your Christmas which is well underway. Then the first 2 presents of the year appeared on the pile from my lovely sister-in-law and you can see one of the jars of scrub that I've been making for teacher's gifts.
About 5 minutes after I took that photo I cleared the lot off ready to start the great wrapping fest of 2013.
I have lots of sellotape, lots of paper and tags and I have my Christmas scented candles going. I also sing along to my Christmas CDs (badly) and wear a Santa hat. Today I have also finally steamed my individual puddings and made one of four cakes. It was Bella's nativity yesterday and Louis's this evening so they are all done and dusted. I am on a roll!
Here's a little sneak of the festive soap I've been making too. This was before the final layer went on. I'll be making some more at the weekend and will share a more detailed post on it then.
Some exciting news just in is that

It sounds like a productive few days LJ. The soap looks good! x
ReplyDeleteLoving your red and kraft wrapping theme, the same as mine! As for a Christmas edition of woyww? My 'desk' would be laid for a festive breakfast, lunch or tea, depending when I took the shot! Looking forward to hearing more about the hand made soap :o)
ReplyDeleteWow you are certainly on a roll. I now have visions of you clearing your desk with one sweep of your arm and scattering the contents all over the floor while proclaiming that "wrapping will now commence"! :) xx
ReplyDeleteLook at your pretty soap!! I can smell it from here...gorgeous :-)
ReplyDeleteI've started wrapping in dribs and drabs now but your sweep all off the desk approach appeals :-)
Hugs, LLJ 43 xx
You are on a roll! good stuff.
ReplyDeleteAnd you make a great point. By Christmas Day my desk will probably be hosting a bag of my brother's laundry.
Your creative mojo is on a high ... Could I borrow just a tiny bit of it please lol.
ReplyDeleteLoving your creativeness
I am SO supposed to be wrapping! I thought I was doing really well this year but OMG it REALLY is only 2 weeks to go aaargh!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the transition from gorgeous crafty stuff (love the colours) to festive action stations.
Thanks for your visit - have a great week. MMx #49
Hi Lisa-Jane, no need to go trawling through my blog - the bags I mentioned are paper sandwich bags from 'Lakeland' and they are a lovely crunchy brown paper that look good on vintage style projects. Ink doesn't dry very quickly when stamping. Thanks for your visit. Chris63

Funny how are desks serve so many needs for us, huh? I'm not quite sure which is more fun - new stash or wrapping. How nice you've had a bit of both this week. Enjoy it all! Thanks for visiting the Fun Room this week!
ReplyDeleteSorry it's nearly Wednesday again before I reply!
ReplyDeleteLoving your multi tasking.
