No enabling this week either, all I've bought is a pencil case for those Zenacolor pencils, as it was getting to be a nuisance keep taking the trays out to find what I wanted. Then I thought it actually made more sense to combine both lots so I'd have all the available colours together. So that's what I did yesterday. Should work better, as strange as it may seem, the cheaper Zenacolor ones had a lot more reds, yellows and blues than the Prismacolors, although that's partly explained by the sheer quantity of greys in the Prismacolor ones, something like 20 of them whilst the Zenacolor only have half a dozen. Which means it's short and sweet from me this week. Hoping everyone is keeping well and staying safe. All good here at the moment.
And so, I shall be leaving my link over at Julias place, The Stamping Ground, as always, and I'll see you there later in the day.
Which brings us round to this weeks And Finally....................................
Pretty sure many of us will have heard a few of these in our childhood!

Morning Shaz. I like your baubles and hope inspiration strikes for you to put them together! Love the funnies, some of those ring bells for sure. Take care, stay safe. Helen #?
I remember many of those sayings from my mother all right Shaz. Hope you get plenty of ideas and use up those Christmas bauble UFOs. Look forward to seeing what you come up with. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #?
Morning Shaz
Glad you are both safe and well. You'll certainly be very organised come Christmas time. I bet I'm still last minute even with all this extra time.
I really laughed at those sayings, it's a generation thing but I remember most of them being said by one parent or the other.
Have a good week and take care

Morning Shaz. Being a good mother, I taught my children stamina as well!!! And I am VERY careful about wearing clean underwear! You are going to be able to stock the nation soon with Christmas cards!! You are doing SO well.
Take care both of you. Stay safe. God bless.

Ha Ha - My mum said all of those and more - i can remember going to the dinner lady on one of my first days at school - i told her to call an ambulance as i had swallowed a prune pip and didn't want a tree to grow inside me!!
Take Care and stay safe . Soojay#16
Well I did have quite a chuckle thinking mother's the world over are so similar. Your baubles are already looking very festive and by next week I am sure you will have plenty to show. I don't think inspiration stays away from your desk for very long. Stay safe and happy crafting.

Your funnies always make me smile - yep a few I recognise! (Some I've used....) I really thought I would have Christmas done and dused by now but I haven't touched it yet. It is sitting in a box that I see out of the cornr of my eye. Maybe when I get Easter put away it'll have a chance!! Stay Safe, Stay well, Happy WOYWW Cindy #18
Love the funnies and many ring true. You will be able to supply a card shop with your Christmas cards and tags. Keep up the work and stay safe. Ani #7
My youngest actually used one of those sayings to Little Soldier and then froze when she realised she was turning into mini me!!! My Mother used a lot of those sayings so I blame her!
Look forward to seeing what designs you come up with for your Christmas cards, you're so creative.
Take care and stay safe

I'm sure inspiration will strike soon with that wonderful array of baubles on your desk - they are all looking fabulous. I do love the gold ones on the black background - both stunning and classy. I had to laugh at the funny this week - yes I think we've all heard some of those - I think #4 was the one I hated the most!
Hope you have a good week,
Hugs, Diana xx #12
Yes I do recognize some of these sayings. I seem to be spinning my wheels but this time of year I always feel overwhelmed with yard work. Little by little.
Happy WOYWW...stay well my friend!
Glenda #26
Both my mum and my Gran used many of those sayings - made me smile! I love your different baubles and look forward to seeing what they become. Happy WOYWW. Stay safe and take care. With love and God Bless, Caro x (#25)
I'm late in the day managing to get round my blogging friends. I've been busy making 2 Memory dogs for one of my customers.
Love the and finally...I remember many of them but you've made me look on them with new eyes now :-)
Stay safe and keep crafting.
Hugs,

The perfect day for getting your baubles out! Yes - my Mum used to say a lot of those - and a few more! Happy days. Stay safe and keep crafting. xx Jo #9
I think I can relate to ost of those sayings from the past.
Your baubles look lovely which makes me want to ask the question - how many Christmas cards have you made up to now, and how many do you send out to people? Or am I being too nosey?
Thank you so much for joining in each day with the #Cheers, I so look forward to seeing your cards on Facebook and they do brighten the pages up no end. Which reminds me I am late here today but need to leave WOYWW for a short while and post a page or something up there myself.
Stay safe, well and happy the two of you
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
Oh my life, all of the above. It wasn’t spinach though, it was shredded wheat and I sat in front of it for four hours. It was a battle of wills more than a fear of wasted food! How did you achieve a pile of cards that big waiting for inserts? I thought you’d tackled UFOs completely. I know I hate doing them but I can’t let them build up like that, it’s like tackling the ironing after a while. Hateful but gotta be done !! Hope you’re both finding time to enjoy the lockdown situation, so glad that you haven’t had to report any illness Shaz, at least it seems to be working for you,this shielding.cant tell you how much it worried me that you’re so vulnerable, but I guess everyone that loves you will do what they have to. It’s just that I like to have control!!!!
Boy do I remember most of those mom sayings! I think I may have used some with our son. Beautiful baubles. I've been hitting Pinterest a bit hard lately but it's helped with my mojo.
Have a wonderful week!

Hi Shaz, I don't think even a pile of baubles would give me inspiration to make christmas cards when the sun is shining so brightly. I recall my mum saying something similar to a few of those sayings - don't come running to me if you break your leg was one of her favourites, along with "if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times" ... ah, I do miss her! Have a lovely week and stay safe, hugs Heather xx #28
Hi Shaz, yes Mothers words all sound familiar Lol! Those baubles look rather nice too. Wishing you a happy and creative woyww, Angela x17x
Oh yes! You must have discovered many "sisters from another mother" today!
Happy Wednesday and stay safe!
Hi Shaz i'm looking forward to seeing what you create with those baubles, I may just sort out some Christmas things this weekend just think how great it would be to have all those cards completed before Summer time!!
Your so right about those colours, red, blue and yellow are the shades I find difficult to find my go to colours in. The more expensive sets rarely have many shades of what I call a #GOOD RED.. i'm sure I was told many years ago that red is an expensive pigment to manufacture that's probably why cheaper brands give us variations of the shade... I know Lapis Lazuli is an expensive pigment.
It's worth having many brands of these shades together because we will find our happy shade eventually. Happy colouring Shaz & take care Tracey #3
Yes Shaz can hear my mother's words echoing as I read your And Finally...
Your desk is fascinating. I rather suspect your HAPPY birthday die cut there was left over after reject from another card now awaiting a use!
Love glitter pieces!
Sorry for late visit! 😊
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love, in these changeable times. For as Paul said: "We walk by faith, not by sight."
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x #34

Hi Shaz, isn’t it funny the things mothers say to children, I often said “ Wagons Roll” to my children and had to explain what I meant!. I have not heard of Zenacolours before, I will have to look them up. Stay safe Angela #38
Oww... haha... the comment 'taught me to wear clean underwear' is something I heard too. Even more laughable: my dad liked to buy all kinds of underwear (fancy boxershorts and all) and they lay in the closet untill the folds didn't come out, that old they got... but still when we asked why he kept on buying these things, he always said "I may end up in the hospital, I'll give the nurse something to look at..." Thanks for your visit to my blog just now and for playing along in the 30-day music challenge, I enjoy that challenge very much too! Hug from Holland, Marit #27
Hi Shaz, yep that makes total sense to me on the pencils I have all mine in books so that I stack the books and open to the pages of blues or greens and what not for a bigger shade range. haha on the joke and I love how much sparkle the baubles have too. ~Stacy #33
I love your colourful desk today! I don't relate, however to the Hilarious Things, as my mother never said any of them to me, nor I to my DD, but I do remember hearing other mothers saying them, my SIL used to say to her kids "go outside and run the stink off" I was always so shocked! I guess I led a very sheltered life! Stay well, stay busy, and stay safe! Lindart #34
Oh My, received my new Bible Journal goodies yesterday and so was so wrapped up in that most of the day and still not ventured into the Bible itself!!
Not sure I can cope with Christmas in April!!! Love your baubles though.
Thanks for the visit BJ#10
Hope you get some inspiration from the baubles and I am sure you will, I remembered most of the things my Mother taught me lol
Lilian B #22
Wow, Shaz, Christmas already... You'll do a great job, whatever!! Your funny this week is hilarious! No. 6 is a joke between my hubby and me. I'm always saying this to him, and warning him if he's got his vest on inside out - "in case you get run over by a bus" is our version!! I definitely remember Mum saying No 4 to me on many occasions! She also taught me some good nutritional advice once: "It's high time you settled down and got your teeth into something concrete."
Thanks for your visit, and I'm glad you enjoyed my pics this week. We love our umbrella! Glad you like my art too.
Happy belated WOYWW,

Happy belated WOYWW! I love those mother quotes. LOL. Have a great week. Dorlene #36
Good morning, Shaz
Yep... every one of them LOL
I'm working on Christmas cards today. Reindeer Club post tomorrow so I best have something besides new Toys for Tots to show off. LOL Hugs & Creative Blessings! Kelly #31
Hi Shaz,
Sorry for the belated visit, it has been a busy week at work, even though I haven't left the house! I'm very impressed by the organisation and foresight that goes into making Christmas cards in April -I'm lucky if Christmas enters my consciousness by the end of November!
Thank you for the 'and finally' chuckles. Have a good week and stay well.
Amelia #39
Those are funny LOL! So sorry I couldn't visit earlier Shaz - too much going on, which is ironic in the lockdown but still true! You're definitely ahead of the crowd in the Christmas card competition - gosh it's not even May yet! What are you going to do for the rest of the year LOL? Loving those glittery baubles! Hope you and Doug and holding up in the lockdown - stay well. xx zsuzsa #20
Hi Shaz, me again - I thought you might be interested to know that this week I decided at last to take up your suggestion to try Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White paint - it arrived today and I used it to add a few highlights to some of my little drawings. It seems to work a treat! After all these years of trying to find a white ink or paint that really stayed white, this is it!! It was expensive, but well worth it - it has great reviews and being quite thick, you can dilute it a bit with water. You need so little this way, and it's going to last for ages! I also decided to order a pot of his gold metallic, but that hasn't come yet. Thanks for the enabling!
Hugs,
Shoshi x
