Warning - loads of photos today - sorry Julia.
This might not be my desk today, but it does show what I have on my desk. Having taken all the cards down, I am in the middle of sorting them out, keeping all the lovely hand made cards and some others from the family. The rest will get sorted for recycling, upcycling in some way. Nothing will be wasted. The hand made ones will come out again in future years.
There is no particular order to these cards, they are showing just as the computer sorted them. I love how they show so many styles and how people like to work. Every single one is a masterpiece in its own right. | ||

Some people like to stick things. Others are so good with a camera, having a good eye for what pleases.

Some go for traditional images.
Others like more modern styles.

Others recycle.

Others leave me wondering how they manage to get such masterpieces done in time

| Debbie |
I have to apologise to Debbie as this scan does not do justice at all to the hard work she put into her card and the beautiful masterpiece I received.

| Trissa |
This was a real achievement for Trissa, as she had to overcome deep feelings even to do this card for me. Thank you.
This one came from my neighbours, who involve their children at all stages. They like to use the computer for their offerings.
Charlotte has just started school and this was her very own design.

As you can see, my treasures are a varied group, but they are all valued and they are all art. thank you to all those who spent their time and energy in thinking of me at such a busy time.
If you are still with me, thank you for that. I am sure you would like to see lots more treasures on show over at Julia's Place. She and all her other visitors will be delighted to see you and to hear from you. With luck, there may be some coffee on the go and, perhaps, some shortbread left over from Christmas. Enjoy!
PS Look at what Google did to Charlotte's card, all by itself. I did not ask it to do it but it is rather cute.

Oh, I love seeing everybody's Christmas card, such works of art. Charlotte's card is darling, with or without the snow flurries. :-)
Here in Massachusetts it's a brisk 5° this morning. I'm staying in and sewing!
Happy Woyww,

It's snowing on Charlotte's card! That's crazy. What a great assortment of cards you've received. It is true that every card reflects the maker and is special in its own right! Thanks for sharing! Judy #83
lovely post, so nice to showcase some of your received cards, I think I may have to do the same - it's a shame to hide them away!! Well done you for your marathon xmas card making - 130 cards is a lot! Everyone I have visited today seems to be determined to get ahead for next year - I wonder if we will succeed? Happy WOYWW Cindy #46
lovely to see your cards! happy WOYWW helen 100
Ah Maggie, thank you for sharing all the beautiful cards you were blessed to receive this Christmas. Saw some familiar names in the bunch and got to admire their work all over again. I was especially impressed with Charlotte's snowman. This would be a super effort for any cardmaker, but to think she is just starting school. WOW - some awesome crafty talent here. Hope things are going ok for you, and looking forward to seeing your crafty posts in 2014. Hugs & TFS
All those cards are amazing, but I think Charlotte's is my favourite! So free and honest, just lovely! Even Google thought it was great.
Happy WOYWW!

What a lovely lot of cards - I think Charlotte's is the sweetest of all.
Your Christmas candles made me smile - we used to have a big candle in the shape of Buddha, which got left too close to the fire one evening ... the next morning we found a very "laid-back" Buddha, but I just had to keep him anyway! :o) Annie #41
Hi Maggie, don't know why but my comment hasn't gone on ... so here it is again (sorry if I@m repeating myself!)
Lovely lot of cards - Charlotte's is especially sweet :o)
Had to smile at your Christmas candles - we had a Buddha candle once, which got left too close to the fire one evening and was found looking very laid back the next morning - but of course I had to keep him!
Happy day-after-WOYWW! Annie #41

Hi, Maggie! I'm sorry I'm so late to visit this week what with blogger acting up and deleting my comments when I go to hit publish. Very annoying!
I came in through the front door today and enjoyed your more recent posts, too, especially the Friday Smile of Charlotte and her very own lovey!
You received oodles of varied and wonderful cards! Thank you for including mine in your showcase!
Happy Belated WOYWW! Enjoy the rest of your week!! Hugs, Darnell #12
