We have an idea at CCW to make 5 cards on the 25th of each month through 2013 so that, when November hits us in the face, as it generally does, we’ll have 50 cards, all done and dusted. Hmmm will I keep it up? Well, I fully intend to … at the moment.
Anyway it’s Wednesday and you are probably here snooping at my desk, so here it is …
… centre stage is the card I have just finished for baby Beth and on the work mat is a pile of penguins waiting to be put on the last of my cards … then I’m done … yay!
To visit some more workdesks, hop over to What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday and click on a few of the linkies.

Love the cards, they are so cute xxx
good luck with the cards and thanks for sharing.
happy woyww trace x #33
p.s. I have festive candy
Aww, that card is so cute. You have done well with the cards this year. I like the idea of making them throughout the year. I tried that last year and I didn't succeed, but I am always willing to give it a go! xxx
Trouble with trying to make cards during the year is I never feel in the spirit till October... or November... good luck and I love the baby card. Helen, 5
Love your christmas card that you've made, those little penguins look so cute are they a stamp or diecut?
Have a happy WoYWW

Love the card - I wonder what the collective noun for a group of penguins is?? A slide, a slither...hmmm, I'm going to have to look that up. Anyhow, there's one on your desk!!!
Hugs, LLJ #30 xx
A colony of penguins, I think. :o)
Congrats on being no 1 today, good job. Love the card and those penguins are really cute, are you sure they are not breeding there?
Happy WOYWW

Congrats on the number one spot!! The CCW plan sounds good... but I find it really hard to Christmas craft even in November (feels too early for me!), so I think I'd probably be useless!!
Love the Beth card, and the penguins look so cute all lined up ready for action... Happy WOYWW!

Well, you are further on than I am, can you believe I am taking bits away with me to do so that my card making will speed up when I come back!
The penguins look cute.
Hugs, Neet 46 xx
Well done you, I was also still working on Christmas cards, right up until last nights accident, so I have a feeling that no more are going to get done.Have a great week, Shaz #48
So it seems the competition for No 1 slot is ON! Makes me laugh! I love a desk that has a pile of penguins on it. Honestly, I wouldnt cope in the real world!
Fab idea - will try & join you :)
Loving all your penguin cards, very inspirational :) x
Well done on number one spot
Loving those penguins very cute
Thanks for visiting my desk

Adorable penguins. We have the same 25th of the month aka Roudolph Day card making for Christmas on UKPC but do we keep to it? I think NOT! Thanks for visiting me today BJ#47
What sweet penguins
Well done on number one spot
Take care

Love the penguins, so Christmassy!
Love those penguins, and the card, even if it is covering half of poor smiley pot. At least he still got to wink at usnthough!
Thanks for visiting the bears this week. :)
Good to finally get the Christmas cards done, I've been trying to write mine, that's the worst job ever!! Congrats on the number 1 spot.
Hugs

PS. Can't find a mini anywhere!!
great idea about doing 5 cards a month-may have to try that one! love your wee penguins-sooo cute x
Well done on top spot! your cards look nice and well done on nearly having them done - mine this year consisted of putting last years tags and left overs onto cards so it does help to be ahead if you can! Sunshine Girl - no 21.
love the penguins and quite an efficient system.
If I actually made loads of cards I would totally do your idea. Fab planning and not leaving it till the last minute :) but I make and send so few it only takes me a day. Your penguins look very sweet!
Happy WOYWW

Oh that is a brilliant idea! btw, I adore those penguins, where did you get them? waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Looks like the penguins are having a fun frollic on your desk. ADORABLE card!

Love the penguins. Thanks for sharing. #76
Love those adorable little oenguins...they look like they are marching across your desk!
I am still making cards too! - Your work desk looks a lot tidier than mine!!
I have a few cards made but need to make more. Great idea to make them all doing the year. But then in Dec you see new stuff. It's really a never ending situation. Love the penguins. #105
Cute penguins - I haven't actually started on my Christmas cards yet!!
Bernice #52
Good 25th plan...I like it! Being that I work in retail and we have Christmas for 3 months not just 3 days, I get a bit grumpy come December - so I might adapt your idea and try to buy a small pressie on the 25th of each month next year, to see if I can stave off some Xmas stress! Have a good WOYWW, Deb # 106 x
Well done No 1! I have been making cards today too - at last I have got round to it!! x Jo
Well done on making all your cards. Mine are still at the planning stage and probably won't get any further than that this year lol!
Your desk is very tidy.
well done for getting the no 1 spot. Cute penguins on your cards . . . I still have not made any yet, I made a few in January while I was still 'in the zone'. good luck with the plan
janet #28
WOW NO 1 this week. I joined Rudolph Day at the start of this year, the idea being to make at least one card on the 25th of the month. I had actually got enough cards done by August, but I still have not done the inserts or written them, so time is still very short. Good luck with your resolution. xx Maggie #62
I adore penguins...these are so cute! I love the 5 cards a month idea...will have to try it out because I am usually panicing about now! Thanks for sharing your desk with us.
Hugs, Renee (#103)
Oh my gosh, those penguins are adorable!!
Cute penguins! Are those mini lightbulbs to the left? From Prima? Great desk! Nan 85
Super cards - love the penguins and are those some of the prima light bulbs on your desk too ?
As is my normal way I am late visiting!!! Those penguins are to cute. I love the Idea of making one Christmas Card each month to have ready for Christmas....but I doubt it would become a reality...lol
Silvia #41
Congrats on being number one!
Those little penguins are too cute!
Happy WOYWW
Kay #100 (you've already visited me)
oh, I love these penquins! they are the cutest!
Love the penguins! Really pretty card for Beth. I might take on the making 5 cards on the 25th of each month. Maybe that would stop me getting to now, still NO cards made! Eep! Keep the good work up:) Lucy #18 x
Love your little penguin cards, totally cute, but I'm totally distracted by Hamish - hope he don't get fat with all my feeding ;)
Thank you so much for your nice comment on my blog.
