Only four more sleeps! whoo hoo.
Here is my table in front of telly as of yesterday afternoon:
Bargain Hunt on the telly there! I wasn't watching it but turned off Glee as I suddenly thought about taking a picture in the daylight! Here I was working on my Nan's calendar - only two more months to do now and it will be finished. Usual clutter on desk and also the last four Christmas cards that I had to make peeking out there in front of my portable bin. In the background you can see my advent calendar has pride of place on the bookcase (in fact it's taken over from the configuration box I made at Artsycrafts earlier this year which has been temporarily laid down for a month!) - the advent is popular with the boys which I am pleased about as it has had to compete against a Star Wars lego one with one boy opening it on even numbered days and the other on odd days - thank goodness! It makes all the effort worthwhile doesn't it!
Also on the bookcase is a half decorated sleigh that I really must get around to finishing (I seem to remember that I said that last year too!).
Looking forward to visiting some desks today - all my presents are now wrapped and under the tree and also all the eight tags that I made following Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas are hanging on the tree - they look really great mixed amongst the assortment of Disney, other handmade, Starbucks, Knitted, Babys firsts etc ornaments.
To join in all the desk hopping fun pop over to
Julias.
Thanks for looking - Excited from Solihull.

I'm a big fan of advent calendars, especially the ones with chocolates in them.
Lucky you getting to craft so comfortably in front of the TV - can't be bad.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

I am sooo glad I am not the only one who still has stuff needing to get stuff finished!! Great idea to put the TH tags on the tree! Maybe I will put mine on the Dining Room tree - that is going up tomorrow!! Sitting with a drop of homemade mead visiting blogs so who knows what I will type between now and bedtime!!
Have a Great Christmas!! xx

Sorry I am posting by pasting the same to everyone …I hate to do this but it saves on energy that I lack and time, as I am a slow typer.
THANK YOU so much for your good wishes …they cheered me up so much. I will up date you all on my health issues after the festive break but at least my balance problems have sorted them selves out and I think I shall be well enough to enjoy the Festive Holiday break. I enjoyed reading your post as I always do.
All my good wishes to you and your family. xx
Well I'm mate enough for there to be even less sleeps now! Your advent cal looks great, and the configuration box will be like a new one all over again when it get back to pride of place! have a super Christmas, am sure your Nan will love her calendar.

I'm envious that you've made eight of Tim's tags, I've made 0!
I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas!
