Firstly, I suppose I should show my desk so here goes!
So, what can we see today. Well, there's a Christmas Bauble stamp from Creative Expressions and a pad of Couture Creations Xmas paper. My trusty paper trimmer, a bod I'm decorating, Distress Inks and an empty mug (it's usually filled with tea!).
I thought I'd better bite the bullet and make a start on a few Xmas cards as we'll have to post them before we go away in November. Everyone will think we've lost the plot getting them so early!
My project for Creative Studios Design Team blog is the next photo.
I was also asked about the button bouquets so on the previous post there's a better photo of them.
We've been away for a couple of days at an archaeological dig near to Stonehenge and had a fantastic time. So many finds from the Mesolithic era that I lost count. Hundreds of flint tools and some very special tranchet adze heads. Even got interviewed for BBC local news (fame at last) although I wasn't looking my best, covered in mud and wearing my oldest clothes and a smile! I think the stripey wellies were the main draw!
Anyway, here's a couple of photos.
Well, I've rambled on for far too long, I know this is supposed to be short and sweet. Many thanks for your visit and comments. I'll try and get back to everyone. Nearly at the target for the blog candy so there's still time to join in, just become a follower and when I hit 300 I'll draw the winner. Until next time, have a fantastic week.

X-mas? Oh really??? *teehee*... I do love your card and am impressed by your archaeological skills/knowledge (which you must have to participate in an event like that)... I don't know a THING from these things. And how fun to be interviewed by the news. Congrats! Happy woyww and a hug from - rainy - Holland. Marit #92

The mug needs a refill before you carry on crafting. It's a rule of desk! Your trip sounds like fun. We're considering an archeology module next year for our course. Thanks for your earlier visit,
Pam, you do so many interesting things - love the 'dig photos.
Your project for the blog is fabulous.

Hi Pam
Thanks for visiting me, OH's test results were so good the docs reckon he is as good as new, so after effect at all from the problems he had before the surgery.
well I have just been staying with my daughter in Woodlands and her hubby is vicar of Woodlands and Highfield, so very close to where your dad was born.
Thanks for the comments about the hats, Hugs Chris #30

Hi there pam,
Great to hear from you again this week. I she that the dig when well, don't forget to let me know how you can get involved in these thing ( my partner would be in his element doing this). The card is something very different I love to see a bit of creativeness and a new play on things.
Havea great week. Julie (paperpathway) 89 xx
I think participating in the archeological dig at Stonehenge is so cool. I just watch that stuff on TV. :-) I'm with you - I need to get started on my Christmas cards, too. Love that paper. And I'm a sucker for hot air balloons so I just LOVE that project. I am going to check it out. Thanks for visiting my blog earlier. April #61
Ooo! Always fancied being in on a dig. One day!
Good luck on the C front! Need to get my butt in gear too!
