WOYWW 600 + Christmas NBUS Embossing folder

(EDIT: CANDY DRAW below)

Hullo, amazingly yet again - it’s Wednesday here, which means WOYWW or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday at Julia’s YES, WOYWW 600 is here! Shouldn’t be here as super busy and as write this it’s late on Tues, but as it’s WOYWW 600 Felt that I must join.. even if quick lob in! Hoping to catch Beccy’s November bonanza post too over here.

Here is my desk at midnight, yes it’s still Christmas.. as I keep adding to my card list. I visited nursing homes yesterday as we’ve not been allowed in some for ages so it was grand to see some, and will be again today. 

So making more nativity here, on the wee 🐑 sheep, I used the Woodware Fluffy stuff that’s in the white tube in shoebox lid. All the images laid out ready to do with heat tool .. this is a Sweet n Sassy nativity image stamped and die cut kindly for me by Marilyn in USA. 

The verse stamped on vellum is Our Daily Bread... here it is above, up close!

I had this lovely 3D Gemini embossing folder of “Hark the Herald angels sing” so multiple embossed it for extra pop, adding some gold brilliance inks highlights. 

Now to Aussie shots, first from walk last week, down at our main sweep of beach’s there are surfers 🏄‍♀️  in those waves.

Then next ones are courtesy of the grey nomads in our family. The white sticklike flower is the head of the grass trees as shown in collage, grass trees were once called black boys too.

The beautiful Christmas looking flower is a a native flower of NSW called Christmas bells, they flowered here in the wild on our block, when we bought it in 1969 but no matter what dad did he couldn’t keep them flowering once not in bushland. They like grassy, marshy or damp areas but zero cultivation.

I hope to pop around but maybe next week, also hope to zoom on Sat. for the virtual crop, but as think it’s 8 or 9pm and maybe for me even later - I’ll be at a Christmas function till 9.30pm I’m not hopeful. I put it on my phone in case, but don’t know how to drive it yet! Learn on fly. 

God richly bless your week and keep you in the days ahead.

Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x 🙏🤗

Thought of the day: 

In light of 600 WOYWW thought this rather apt.

“ Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” 

It’s  something I need to remember, I may not know what tomorrow will hold, but I know Who has it all safely in His hands! 

Praise God for that!

I often think of that saying on the American $ note, “In God we trust” in light of current events on a number of continents, it’s something we all do well to trust in!

(Arghhh boy blogger drives me nuts. It’s eaten my edits again!)

Candy draw... done published earlier, and still showing on my iPad..  but blogger ate it. So sorry.

 Two draws as two prizes.
