WOYWW #443 {it's beginning to look like Christmas}

Happy Desk Peeking day, you can find more to see and play along here 
where the hop originates at our hostess Miss Julia's Blog

The guys at work will be getting their gift cards in these cute square tins I found at Joanns fabric's so, tags are under construction for that the cream ones will get names stamped on them and I am debating about those Unity trucks on them ( they are going to stick off the edges of the tags but, its a matter of if it will look dorky or not.)

 Last weekend was our long holiday in the states we had 4 days off in a row so, I was able to organize more unmounted sentiments and put those away while hubs decided for the first time ever that we really should have out door decorations. ( all these years the answer has always been NO if I say do you want something?) He did all of this by himself ( in the rain) we have a 14' step ladder and this blue spruce tree is taller than that. The inside tree is also up and decorated.

 Last Saturday the Inspiration challenge at splitcoast stampers headed to a site called The company store where I found this felt wreath ( seen below) and loved the textures it had so, I used some Hero Arts wreath dies with shimmers and textured papers to create some layers of texture for this card. The believe sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp die and the night before Christmas printed paper came from A Muse studio's. There are some bitty nuvo pearl drops on the wreath leaves ( seashell & rose gold)

in other news our aging lab dog Grace is going in to the vets Friday am to have a large tumor removed from her back leg. they think it's attached to the muscle and do not want her to lose the function of her leg so, it has to go. And that is pretty much all I think about lately so, I am looking forward to being distracted by what you all are up to. thanks for stopping by.

Gosh I’m not surprised that poor Gr e’s op is all you think about, will be holding her in my thoughts. Xxx the tree (the huge tree) looks absolutely ace, and I love the candy canes around it. Perhaps after all the asking, the seed germinated in his lovely head and this year,, new house and yard, he feels the need! whatever, enjoy! It looks really great. Love your believe card, and I think a deliberate ‘off the edge’ thing is fine...go ahead with that lovely truck!

Oh, that's a happy and sad post all wrapped up in one. Poor old Grace, no wonder you're so worried about her. Let's hope that getting rid of the tumour will give her a new lease of life. Sending hugs. It made me smile about your hubby decorating the outside tree, it does look fab!
