What a week...

Whew! Last week was what I affectionately refer to as hell week at work. Happens every year... year end reports, quarterly reports, new reports going out, the yearly winter meeting of our inspectors... and all the usual day to day stuff. You know, when you add that to the holiday stuff going on, it's a wonder I keep even a shred of sanity. Although, I admit there are those who might say I don't.

Today I get to regroup and finish up a few things and I am momentarily off to do just that, but before I get started, it's time to share the ArtsyBlogging links for the week... go see what everyone's been doing. Eileen has a whole lot of Christmas ornaments going on over on her blog... and Cyndi has an amazing give away happening... don't miss out!

Beading Arts
Every new year should bring a new challenge. How about getting inspired by the Ring A Day challenge...and maybe win a copy of the book?

Eileen - The Artful Crafter
Make these cute clothespin Christmas ornaments. Eileen shows a skier, but you could also do a nutcracker or skinny Santa.
