Actually remembered to take a photo of my desk(s) this week - horrah.
Certainly a better week with my hand recovery this week. Wound is healing over nicely but still quite sore and I get major random pains. Wrist and fingers still stiff and I get cramp if I try to move them too much. Planning to start the exercises tomorrow on 1st January.
I was given a metal bookmark with a cross on a chain attached which I love.
If you zoom in to the bottom the word STABLE is visible and I didn't even know it was on the papers I used.
It's made of bamboo and came with 2 awls - a step up from the home made cardboard one I have been using.
I was rather challenged by the personal testimony part of this one and the technique of cutting away the face of a picture of myself, so I just did the process (although couldn't open my inks as my hand is still too weak after the surgery).
We made a tag at the same time too. It was supposedly to give someone for Christmas but I was a bit late for that.
Anyway it was a bit lobsided and I forgot to take a photo but as it happens she posted a photo for me. Had to laugh as she took a photo without the top right portion which would have explained the lopsidedness - LOL.
I used bits and bobs I already had about as not wishing to get the heavy Cuttlebug out just yet.

well done on the amount of projects you've achieved and hope the exercises when you start them help the recovery. Happy New Year! Helen #2
I'm glad you hand is healing but imagine it's still painful and tricky to do any crafting. I love those little tags. Happy New Year x x Jo 🌈
Loving the cradle. I still use the one I cobbled together from old kid's blocks and some matt board, and while it works well enough, yours looks more compact and at this point I need that! The tags are so pretty too! Heal on and Happy New Year's Eve WOYWW, and wishing you and yours a happy, healthy, joyous 2026!

Hi BJ , we're nearly there for another new year and hope it's a good one with lots of smiles and inspiration. I look forward to seeing you use you new book binding stuff, looks intersting. The Journal pages are lovely and the tags are a great idea. Happy woyww, hugs Angela x8x
I’m glad the hand is healing; I know how effective physio exercises are, when I broke my arm the fracture clinic said I only had a small chance of being able to lift it above horizontal, but I had a good physio, did my exercises and can list it up to vertical.
Your shepherds collage, tags and card are beautiful.
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year
Hugs

I love your art work. I'm hoping to get my mojo back so I can start 2026 with some art work too! Wishing you a Happy New Year and a Happy WOYWW too ((Lyn))#12
Happy New Year BJ, I didn’t understand the bit about cutting your face out 😳 great pages though, I am sure your hand must be painful, my daughter had to rub cream in to to keep the scar tissue supple. Hugs Angela #10
Hope the exercises are going well BJ. I particularly love your Advent pages. That is a cool gift for your bookbinding too. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
