For me, there's nothing like having guests coming over to visit that gives me more incentive for cleaning up! My desk was in a state of total chaos yesterday but the thought of taking a picture of it for our Wednesday link party hosted by Julia made me start putting things away! What I've left out for you to see are some of the gifts I received. Here are my new clear stamps (my first ones!) given to me by my sister and fellow WOYWWer, Patsy. Aren't they wonderful?
She also gave me a gift for my birthday (which was on Christmas Eve) and I kept the little rose and ribbon that she decorated the box with. Isn't it pretty?
Here is a box that my super talented brother Robert decorated to put his gift to me in. Pretty, pretty, pretty!
It was tied around with twine and a little key...
How cute is that! I wonder how I will use it!
As 2010 comes to a close, I wish all of you, my dear blog friends, a very happy New Year! May the new year bring all the best for you!

What fabulous stamps. How nice to have someone who not only gives you crafty presents, but attractive and useful ones! But never feel you have to tidy for me; I don't mind mess and all that tidiness makes me feel guilty!
Happy New Year.

Lovely clear stamps there, and I see that the your siblings share the same creative genes. Happy belated birthday from a fellow Christmas Eve babe; it certainly expands the celebrations!

Lovely tidy desk!! Very nice to have so many new goodies to play with.
Happy New Year to you.
Your desk is AWESOME this week. You know how I like a tidy desk, so this one makes me feel right at home. I hope you enjoy your new stamps. I can see that box holding many art supplies, too. And all those colored pencils. That's a big WOW. Again, I wish you the best in 2011 and I'll try to make it back before the new year. If not, I'll see you in 2011.
ooohh...fabulous gifts and Wrapping you can recycle, how perfect! Happy New Year...Esther (#60) xx

Oh you are a talented family - love that Robert expresses his talent through craft too! Happy Returns Peggy, I know you'll love using the stamps from Patsy. And so to wish you a happy and healthy New Year.
Pretty cleaned up desk. What a lovely box your brother did for you and I love the key. Very pretty ribbon and flower on Sis' gift. #75
What a talent family you have - love the box and your lovely stamps - Have a great New Year ~ Nicky 38
Thanks for your comment on my box, Peggy! Your brother did a great job on his box ~ I like that type of thing {as I'm sure you guessed}! I love the key, too. It looks like a good size that you could use it for just about anything ~ even on a chain around your neck.
I love the way you store your pencils etc. It looks like a Lazy Susan under the pencil mugs. I use baked bean tins covered in holographic silver Fablon, but the turntable is an added touch of genius. I am sure you are going to enjoy all those lovely new goodies.
