THE BEGINNING OF THE END
My workstation is a bit different this week. I have something in the works that's very Hush Hush for now. But I HAVE to go through a ton of stuff in the studio and sewing room and PURGE - A LOT
This is a stack (including the tub) of magazines I've been saving for the sole purpose of cutting out things for art journals. I want to file the images in pockets of my scraprack for easy access... but that's another post.
So over the next couple of weeks, this is my desk(s) for the time being.
THE CUTTING TABLE
Positioned in front of the TV so I can get some things off the DVR while I purge. The Lobster notebook in the picture is where I've been taking notes from the series Deadliest Catch for a future set of books I have in mind. I didn't have any 'crab' paper but this lobster from 'Beach House' by The Paper Studio serves the purpose... aka being able to find the right notebook when I need it. LOL
These are the 3 areas where I have 'category' papers scattered about. As I cut out a bunch of pictures/ words/ phrases, I sort them to an appropriate category. I will store them in pocket pages when I get my scraprack. In the meantime, I am storing them in page protectors with their category sheet.
So why am I sharing this all with you? Because this is what we do every Wednesday as part of What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday with Julia Dunnit at Stamping Ground. Everyone can play so come join the FUN! Details HERE.
What's on YOUR desk?
Wow! You are really getting organized! Happy WOYWW!

ReplyDeleteI Angela
DeleteI'm trying. LOL Right now my crafting is all about the 200 notebooks I need to make for conference giveaways. ;-)
Creative Blessings!
Now that's my kind of organised - I love it! Thanks so much for stopping by my desk earlier, I hope you have a great week and get lots more organising done!

Thanks, Diana, for returning the visit. I'm getting there ;-) Creative Blessings!
Deletebusy, busy, busy! I love to be organized too but seems like Karma keeps coming around and messing it up! Thanks for visiting my desk and leaving a comment. You asked about the orange tree on the box. It is a white bottle brush tree I bought at Micheal's last year after Christmas...huge bag was originally $19.99 but I got it for less then $2. (thats what I mean about Karma...needed one and bought a bunch!) I sprayed the tree with Dylusions Ink and let it dry. I thought about using alcohol ink to make it permanent but I don't plan on it getting wet so it should be okay. Have a great week. Vickie #64
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vickie. Yeah, I don't think I'd have passed up that deal either. I may try with the alcohol inks then, just because I'll have them. Creative Blessings!
DeleteOh dear, you are going to do what I should be doing and you are really going to town over it. Well done for taking the plaunge, you will probably feel really good when you have finished and shown us all the notebooks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me, you are right, a few days avoiding it all and I have got my enthusiasm back, but no time at the moment.

Great to hear, Chris! Sometimes we just need to walk away. Creative Blessings!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!! I LOVE purging...I'm a freak.
ReplyDeleteThe shows I like, the 4400, Jericho, Alphas, Fringe also, Top of the Lake and Walking Dead. Creepy right? Do you watch those?
No, Tam. I've managed to miss all of those. I'm more a Cold Case, Criminal Minds kind of girl... and I don't even write suspense LOL Go figure. Creative Blessings!
DeleteOh my, that is just too much organising for me. You are a very brave lady. I'll be interested to see what is happening to cause such a clean up.
ReplyDeleteVon #22
Hi Vonny.
DeleteI'll spill the beans as soon as I can ;-) Creative Blessings!
You look like your going to be busy for a while congrats on tackling all that stuff and it's looking good the way your organizing it all :) hugs Nikki 2
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki. Everything has to look better than they do at this point LOL Creative Blessings!
Deletethat looks alot like work. you definitely love your organizing.
ReplyDeleteI've determined I can not create in chaos, Brandi. I think part of that comes from my mom teaching me to clean the kitchen before we started any baking/ canning/ cooking project.
DeletePurging and organizing is good! I just bought the stuff to unmount my stamps. We will see how that works.mi have yet to find the perfect stamp storage.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I've never had the urge to do. But then I do like the way mine are stored and I do love the feel of a wood block in my hands. Though I do have some acrylics I love too
DeleteYou weren't kidding when you said you were running out of room for all your categories. Keep up with the organizing!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy. Bob leaves on Monday and I'll be back hard at it... well, that and finishing the first draft of this new book.
DeleteGoo luck with the purge! You are the most organized stamper I know. Some day I'm going to be like you. ;)
ReplyDeleteJust be yourself, Maggie. That's the perfect you ;-)
