WOYWW #243 - I have a desk!


We have a blast on WOYWW. Don’t have a clue as to what I’m talking about? Stop in at Julia Dunnit’s blog for all the DETAILS. In a nutshell, this gives us an open invitation every Wednesday to showcase what we’re working on and to peek in on work spaces all over the world. We would love to have you join us!

So here’s my desk for this week:
Relatively clean. I at least have space to work but I'm not doing any creating while I work through Tiffany Spaulding's Get Organized Challenge. A couple of things to point out... The stack of paper to the left is all 'stamp off' paper. A small portion of what I have. I just can not throw anything into the landfill (or the shredder for the garden) until I've used it as many times as possible. Sad, isn't it.

The manilla envelopes to the back right are those Teapot Tuesday cards I made the first week of the year. The square ones with the dog in the wheel barrow? They are square and they have bumpies so I put them in padded envies. The postal service wants over $6 a piece to mail them to Canada. So I need to rethink that card and save these for someone in the US.

Finally, the sectioned box in front with the markers. Those are those mysterious markers that arrived in my mail last fall. (I finally figured out where they came from- thanks Brandy!) Because they need to be stored horizontal they can not stay in that box so I'm still working on an 'upcycle' item solution. However, I did get an idea from Heidi Bound at Gotham City Stampers about putting all of her Project Life items in one of these. I'm going to Dollar General tomorrow to pick up the long one - or maybe a second one of these as I like the sectioned sizes. I wasn't sure I was a Project Life kind of scrapbooker but have since determined they would be perfect albums for my granddaughters now living so far away.  Oh, and the pink hippo stuck in there will be a pattern for a TPT card I needed last week. I really need a hippo stamp or image but I can make this work.

So what's on YOUR work station this week?

  5. WoW Kelly - you are Mrs Orgainsed! It all looks great. Am with you on the scratch paper, I have more than I can use and I use a lot, but it is maddening to just throw it out. Good luck with the Hippo - strange subjects you people choose....!

  7. $6.00? Wow - that's pretty steep for a card, huh? I have been watching Tiffany, but I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to the type of organizing she promotes. I think I'm just lazy. ;-) You'll have to share some of your organizing - I need some inspiration. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. April #22

  8. Thanks for popping in on me and for sharing your crafty space. I like the idea of having those tubes all in a row in which to store your bottles of paint so handily. It looks a nice place to create.
    Have a great Sunday, the sun is shining here after fierce gales have eased so it's good.
