WOYWW Google+ Ends 2019 *Christmas

A week today and Christmas will be over! As it is Wednesday it’s time again for WOYWW or What is on Your Workdesk Wednesday. So let's look at desks of the world with Julia of The Stamping Ground HERE .. to my desk! 

Well as you can Christmas is still on the desk!! My brain had ideas going in all directions! The Nativityscape was the lost one from few weeks back! Found it. 😊 One out of view has some diecuts given on a brayered background. Love my brayer. Tartan is a digi paper set, saw this card on pinterest and realised it was a CCD that my friend Marilyn in Florida sent me! A pain to die cut but oh what a nice combo with tartan. Or plaid as US call it. I don't like that name. It makes me think of plain and they aren't that! We and Scots call it tartan so that does me! I only needed one more card but just kept going. 2019 is coming! I make all year around. Don't like rush like I had this year.
Some wonderful cards I've received.

And bottom middle right is Shaz Silverwolf, far bottom right, Marilyn, Anne in France above hers, then Betsy in Spokane, Margaret from WOYWW, Brenda in US, far right and 85y.o Iris from Lincoln, bottom left. So nice everyone! Thank you!

Now to the Penny Black stickeroos from last week. Made quickly and easily. I embossed background in Grand Calibur with 5 x7 folder by Ultimate crafts. Swirls EF is Embossalicious.

 Adjusted dies to fit images and extend use. All greetings are digi.

 This is an upcycled card too.
Like this simple use!

Next is a non desk item.
Re Google+, in case you use Google + and you don’t know, it is to be phased out next year (in Aug I think it is). It is being done gradually even now. There are things you need to be aware of if you solely use Google+.
This post here HERE explains it particularly well why and what and when, and how in the comment at the end of the post, where it has a link to explain how it is done and to the tool called Takeaway that Google has made to help you do it.
I’m just putting this out there so more folks know about it, as it s not commonly shared that I’ve seen.
Now to Aussie photos!

My thoughts and prayers are with a family from Sydney. I ended my Friday post by saying how dangerous our beaches were and people needed to swim on safe & patrolled beaches. Late yesterday afternoon  3 men from Sydney were drowned at a beach 10 mins  north. Its a notoriously dangerous beach and I'd never swim at it. You can see in this photo above how tricky it can be. This beach is called the Gallows. You need to know how to read the surf here at this spot! The one below looks safe but its not patrolled and someone drowned there last year. If you live by the ocean you know this. 
Enjoy with respect.

Well, that's my share.

I'll be back on Sunday and Christmas day, will do WOYWW a day early, as wont have time on Wed. 😊

Praying every blessing upon all who read this, especially those who may have some missing faces at their table for Christmas. 

Our Father God cares and I pray you may seek His comfort at such times.

"..Tidings of comfort and Joy."

Hugs, Shaz in Oz. X

Today's thought:

"God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember, Christ, our Saviour

Was born on Christmas day

To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy..."
