WOYWW #343

This is WOYWWednesday - checkout the tab at the top of the page for further info - and our thanks go to Julia for hosting again.

Shocker of a desk to share today!!!  I have gathered the aftermath of a good Christmas onto my desk to sort through.

Starting at the top left of the picture ....

Empty Chinese Restaurant Calendar boxes - useful for Chinese New Year ATC swaps.
Ephemera from our recent trip to Paris, underneath which is a few card making goodies,
underneath which is a selection of 'hit 'em with a hammer toffees'  - family joke!
underneath which are several Christmas gift bags to put away for next year - recycling is fun!
To the right are peeks of my latest ATCs  - Christmas Spirit swap.

So there it is .... remnants of Christmas past .... it's not sad really as I have a couple of presents to enjoy and when all is put away..... there's always next Christmas to look forward to!!  lol

One more day left in 2015 which hasn't been a bad year for us here, ups and downs but we are still here and as I always say .... every day's a bonus, Praise God.

Thank you all for your friendships, laughs and sharings this past year, you all make my Wednesdays a day to look forward to.  Thank you for all the comments that you took the time to make - I enjoyed reading them and they made me feel very loved.
THANK YOU JULIA FOR HOSTING SUCH A WONDERFUL GET TOGETHER OF DESKERS.  YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF, WE'RE PROUD OF YOU!.

Here's to many more meetups in 2016.  May you always walk in the light of God's Love, be blessed by Him in many ways and be a blessing to others that you meet along the way.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!           HAPPNEW YEAR!            HAPPNEW YEAR!

  6. Now that block of toffee reminds me of my dad - he used to hoard it down the side of his chair like a secret stash - as if we didn't know! Looking forward to getting back together in the New Year. Jackie x

  15. Christine - what a beautiful sentence at the end of your blog. Thank you for posting that. With all that has gone on for us in the past month or so, that is exactly our sentiment - that we may display the love and compassion of our Father God to all we meet; that we may stay in His way for us, knowing that each day now is indeed a tremendous blessing. We have no idea what God is doing - but are just trying to rest in Him. Thank you.
    Take care in 2016. God bless you with His peace which passes all understanding.
