WOYWW #586-The Starting to catch up Edition.

 As that's pretty much what I'm doing. Had too many health issues attack me one after another. There is a run down in the Christmas Card Club post below, but it seems I may possibly getting on top of it all now. I haven't crafted for weeks, and being honest, as yet, still not done any, but that will change this week.


Blogger apparently lied to me when it said I was on the new format-as in the last week or so everything has changed!

Not happy with how you change image sizes now, nor how you get the type where you want it. But as it's not going anywhere, I just have to deal with it, I suppose. Long shot of the desk, showing mainly wallets of Christmas stuff, which I'll need for Sunday- I finally got round to making some for last week, and I need to get going on some birthday cards, as I've gone through quite a lot recently.

The piece you can see on my desk is a Lunarscape, made for me as a birthday present, from Eldest Son, Ant.It has a hanging hook on the back, so that'll be going up on my wall soon.

And so thats all from me this week, as always I'll see you over at Julias place, The Stamping Ground, for our weekly desk shennanigans.

 Which just leaves......And Finally.......and thats true, you know. 😁

Sorry to hear you've had some health issues , missed you last week. I've had no such excuses not to craft but haven't done any either. take care and enjoy your Christmas stuff on Sunday! Take care.. Helen #?

Oh dear, that is true too!! So glad to hear you’ve scaled that MOUNTAIN, good grief fairly, you are amazeballs and don’t you forget it. It’s actually a surprise isn’t it, when you don't top up your box of finished cards for a while, that you do actually run through them quite quickly. Or..you make them deliberately blank so that you can add a greeting and then don't use them because you haven't allowed time to do that. Well, probably that may be me I’m talking about! I like Nat’s gift...if it wasnt so well scaled, you could have convinced me that it was real moon rock!

Susan Renshaw said...

Love the lunar scape...
New blogger has changed yet again today - how it had been working yesterday no longer happened today. It took absolutely ages to reposition photos and then the link thing was different. It makes blogging really hard work...
Anyway...Happy WOYWW! Stay safe and keep well. Susan #9

Diana Taylor said...

Oh Shaz, I'm so sorry to hear you've been having health problems lately - I hope you are on the up now- it does sometimes feel that life throws you things one straight after the other doesn't it.
I love the lunar scape and the 'and finally' is very funny and very true!
Hope you have a good week, stay safe and keep well,
Hugs, Diana xx #15

Lunch Lady Jan said...

I want that And Finally as a poster for the JanCave, lol! Stupid is my middle name! I'm so sorry that your health has been such a bugger but really hope that you're on the mend now. Thank you for my great birthday card, hope yours and Doug's got through ok.
The lunar scrape is brilliant, he's a clever chap that son of yours!!
Hugs LLJ 5 xxx

My name is Cindy said...

When I saw your name at the beginning of the list I knew things must be getting better. So good to see you. SOmething I having to come to terms with during lockdown is that it doesn't matter how much time I have I am never going to catch up. I'm am going to have to think of another way to view it as that is just too depressing. Good luck anyway! Have a good week, stay well, stay safe, Cindy #14

Annie said...

Sorry to hear you've been having more health issues and really hope normal service returns very soon for you. I'm not keep on the new blogger either and hate that they have taken off spell check....I have a feeling I use that quite a lot lol.
Hugs,
Annie x #10

Zsuzsa Karoly-Smith said...

Where do you get all your funnies from LOL? Love the lunarscape - my son's birthday card project this year has a space theme as well, so I might try something like that! Hope your health issues have improved and you can get back to creating soon - it's always like a breath of fresh air when I return from a period of absence. Have a lovely week, Shaz! xx zsuzsa #20

Marit said...

I love that lunarscape piece, that's just awesome! And in answer to your last 'saying': "Rock & Roll is an attitude, not an age!" Happy woyww dear, big hug from Holland. Marit #18

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Shaz, pleased to hear that you feel in the mood to craft which has to be a good sign. Good sentiment. I think we would be more disappointed with the things we missed doing than those we did and knew we shouldn't have. I'm still using the old Blogger interface even though I've tried the other one, just don't like the changes and I keep telling them. I think they know things aren't right. Have a great week and a very happy woyww, Angela x12x

Karen said...

Have fun making Christmas cards this weekend ~ The Lunar piece is cool that your son made for you. ~ Enjoy your week

Neet said...

I think we can all write off a few weeks for this damned virus affecting us. Add to that the things that would normally have happened to us in a pre Covid year and it is not surprising so many are feeling under the weather. Mind you you have had more than your fair share of "things" happening. Here4's hoping you are coming our on the right side and that Doug's new line of work is proving to be profitable. It's just gone four in the afternoon and I have been sat with the keyboard on my knee for ages, I start reading a blog and then nod off. Don't know why as I sleep well.
If you click on a photo you should get a little bar with plus and minus signs on, I find I need to clock the minus sign three times to get it to fit on myk blog. Hope it works for you. Saying that my photos this morning were too big as I forgot to resize them and when I went back I couldn't get the bar on photos 2 and 3. Go figure!
Hugs, Neet 7 xx

Robyn said...

i'm always inspired by your bravery! Blogger is being a bear! and I guess we will get used to it!

Kathryn Frantz said...

Hi, Shaz!

You have sure had a lot of health struggles and I hope this Wednesday finds you better and stronger!

No post from me again this week. We have a leak in the basement and are trying to track it down. Moving everything! Ripping up carpet and still haven’t found the source! And I’m exhausted!

Happy Wednesday!

Kathryn.

StampinCarol said...

Glad to hear you're doing better.
Love the Lunarscape! That was my first thought before I read about it.
Talented son!
Don't push too hard getting things done and hope you recover fully!

Caro said...

Sorry to hear that you have not been well - take your time with recovery and be gentle with yourself. Love the lunarscape. Happy WOYWW. Take care and stay safe, with love and God Bless, Caro xx (#11)

health issues seem to be on a lot of posts this week. I think your son did a great job on the lunar scape and your desk looks busy! I like the cards on the previous post...you are busy! Have a great week. Vickie #30

Ali Wade Designs said...

Happy WOYWW. I am very late today (for a positive reason - the sunshine dragged me outside). Hope you get lots of crafting time in the next week - always a good tonic. Ali x. #30

Happy WOYWW, hoping you are soon well enough to craft. Love the lunar landscape x Angela #29

Magic Maggie said...

Love the lunar landscape - did he make it himself? I think it could look good with skulls just under the surface. You seem more yourself again.

Love

Elizabeth said...

Hi Shaz, seems we have been having similar problems - and all to do with health - but hopefully we will both be able to catch up now. You've certainly been keeping up rather better than I have despite everything. Your cards for the CCC are lovely - perfect for the current theme. (I'm hoping to join in again this coming Sunday.) Love the lunar landscape - wouldn't a stamp like that be brilliant! I can't think why Blogger had to give us a new format - I was happy with the old one! Your 'and finally' is so true, so true! Have a great week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #21

Lovely desky share sorry I’m late... again... 😁 and had read Shaz some of your posts so knew of the shoulder being fixed by an extra pillow... and glad UTI sorted, they’re no fun, and pray that the reason causing it can be solved too. Love the funny and desk goodies ready fur Christmas

Hi Shaz, I am glad to see you are feeling better enough to start the playing again thing. the moon craters piece looks like it has awesome textures too. Keep feeling better! ~Stacy #24

Shoshi said...

I hope you are coming through your health issues now, Shaz, and that that awful infection is now under control. It's amazing how behind one gets when one can't keep on top of things, isn't it! Nice projects on your desk. That lunarscape is stunning - great texture! Lol at the funny! I think we can all identify with that!

Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi x #8

Lindart said...

I'm very late this week! Better late than never I guess! Your concerns about BBlogger are just what I am thinking as well. Why do they have to go and change things? And I can seem to upload more than one photo at a time. I guess that's just the way things go, as soon as everything is working perfectly and smoothly, throw a wrench into it. Grrrr! Hope you are up to crafting soon! The lunarscape is fab, just what I thought it was when I first looked at it! Thanks for your visit, Lindart #24
