Hi all! The last WOYWW before Christmas :o) Hope everyone is getting organised and ready for the day! that's right THE day!!! It's amazing how much preparation is needed for just ONE DAY!! I love it though, and am feeling much happier about it's rapid approach now I have finished the gift for my Mum, "the book" which has been ongoing for many months now!! as my regular visitors will know I have been breaking off from it to make Christmas cards, Birthday cards etc etc so never really had a good run at it so it ended up taking months!
I'm afraid it's only the front cover on show today, as I only had time for a quick photo before work, but I will definitely take photo's of it all and post in the next WOYWW for anyone who wants a peek inside, it's filled with old photo's, some nice verses and sentiments. All I need to do now is make a box for it and add the little tag I have made which I will do over the next couple of days. I will also be tidying up the huge mess that has been created throughout the completion of the book! My desk is an absolute tip and I cannot wait to tidy it up, I know getting crafty creates a mess but I'm at that stage where I can't find anything!!!!
Anyway, thanks for stopping by! Have a great Christmas! I will be popping over to Julia's a little later to visit some desks. x

What a beautiful book - a true keepsake. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2012! x
Aw April, for some reason, blogger won't download your words, just the pictures..weird huh! Am gonna guess that album is a gift for your Mum, rath er than a commission, it's just lovely, a real malnourished of love. Liking the sight of your desk with ribbons and tape all still a work in progress, makes me feel much better.
Hello April, just popping in late to say I've really enjoyed visiting your blog, and admiring your handiwork throughout the year. It's been fun getting to know you, virtually that is :) The book cover is beautiful - your mum is going to love it. I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Elizabeth x #46
