MERRY HAPPY JOYFUL CHRISTMAS

A Happy Holiday Hello to everyone!!

I'm popping in to wish you all a Merry Christmas! For those who have a tough time during the holidays, I'm sending a huge cyber hug to warm you!

I took a photo of my desk after the math of making CCs by the dozens. If the linky is still open, then I'll join in What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 290 to include best wishes for all my friends there!
What does that sign say, eh? Let's take a closer looksee:
Why it's Hammy! He didn't want to miss out on the perpetuity of wishing you all the best of holiday good times!

Oh, and check this out. I finally caught my ornament hangers crawling back into the tin in the wee hours of the morning, looking like this disheveled mess! Ah, HA!
~~~

I'll leave you with our 2014 Christmas photo card sent to family and nonbloggie friends:
Henry, Bama, Adam, Papa, Dan, Rachel
Poor Duke, who had been napping peacefully.
~~~

I'm sorry I didn't make it around to all of your personal blogs to wish you happy holidays. I hope you are having a fantastic day and that you enjoy the long holiday weekend! Thank you for another wonderful year. I appreciate your support and all your encouraging comments which keep my passion for this wonderful card hobby alive and bubbling over!! You're the best bloggie friends anywhere!! MWAH!!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS!*

  38. Well! I would never have recognized this as _your_ desk Our Darnell. I know that you left it this way, just to make me feel better, yes? LOL. Cause it looks a lot like the one I left at home. Except for the cute picture of Hammy, of course! Loved the sweet picture of your lovely family. Oh how those Twinks are growing into young men. Merry Christmas & hope that your day was just as special as are you. I've so enjoyed having the blessing of your friendship this past year. Appreciated your encouragement more times than you will ever know. Hope that 2015 will be all that you need to make you happy and looking forward to some fun here in Blogland. Big Hugs. TFS

  50. Thank you for a lovely post, Darnell, and especially for the cyber hug which I reeeally appreciate, as Christmas this year has been tough. My wonderful hubby has done his best to keep things going and make things special but I am still recovering from a horrible bug and had no appetite for food or anything else yesterday, and certainly not for Mum's appalling behaviour which cut our time together short. This year has been pretty rough one way and another and we've had a lot to deal with, so we are both hoping for better things next year. My hubby and my art have been my sanity savers, not to mention the kitties!!

    Hope you have a great year to come, and wishing you belated happy WOYWW,
