What's on my Workdesk Wednesday

Morning folks...crikey it's Wednesday once again and time to join in the fun over at WOYWW....well technically I am cheating a bit this week and entering under false pretences because I can't share what's on my workdesk today.....all stuff for my demo day on Saturday at Simply Create and it isn't just on my desk....it's taken over all the surfaces in the cubbyhole and The Furry Boy may well have a point...the old cubby seems to have shrunk considerably over the last week....but please don't sympathise with him....he's just being a grumph because nine times out of ten my crafty partner deserts his post and can be found stretched out on the sofa in the family room snoring his head off.   I am loving reading your fun comments about a cure for this lovely addiction of mine...let me just say at the moment I'm definitely in the "ain't no cure" camp and who says I am even looking for a cure...not me for sure.
But we can't have a post without  any pics..... so for all the impatient crafters who are coming along on Saturday and can't wait and for all you nosey parkers out there....here are sneaky peeks of some of my Hero Arts Christmas Tim Holtz Style Demo cards.






And I haven't minded being marooned in the cubbyhole for the last week because the weather here has been dire.....rainy...windy and very cold and boy oh boy the nights are drawing in.     One more day should see the demo stuff done and dusted and then lo and behold my box of goodies should be arriving soon from Fiskars...more demo stuff to do....and blimey my life is ruled by countdown sleeps at the moment....only 
29
sleeps until 4 days of Fiskars Fun at the SECC
55
sleeps until I am jetting off to NYC for a lovely 6 night Thanksgiving break and we will be there for Black Friday...so no doubt I will be invading Michaels and The Ink Pad and the old credit card will be smoking.  We are also meeting up with my lovely Funky Hand teamie Enfys and her hubby Mike who will be celebrating a special birthday and not forgetting
148
sleeps until the big day with TH and of course in between is Christmas but lots to do so better cut out the chatting and get on with the job in hand.
Catch you all later
Hugs Kath xxx

    Hi Kath, can't wait to see your cards I bought that Hero Arts christmas house stamp last week, I don't think you really want a cure for your crafty spending life wouldn't be worth living.
    Lots to look forward to, Wow NYC how cool is that would love to go there, and don't forget it's your birthday too. though not sure if you wanted to be reminded of that LOL.

    Big Hugs Carol xx

    goodness me, you're wishing your life away with all these countdowns lol
    am so jealous of you going to NYC, I need to try and wangle that one next year I think - or win the blooming lottery.
    the samples look fab, do you think Jacqui and Ann have some rope they can tie my kids up with so I can come and watch?

    Lovely sneak peaks :D. If you are going out Black Friday, you might want to check out Walmart online to see if they have a Cricut special. Of course they also have the Cricut Lites cartridges there. Last year I went out against my better judgement, missed everything I was looking for and consoled myself at ACMoore where I spent $60 and saved $110 :D. Black Friday can be an adventure lol.

    Enjoy your countdowns :D.

    Countdowns - love them! Sounds like a lot of fun to come. Best wishes to your glittery partner in crime; I had a yellow lab some time ago, and you have reminded me how much they and goldens snore (perhaps he is now dreaming of crafting and waving his paws around instead?). Enjoy your spend.
