Welcome to WOYWW…the “What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday”  blog hop created by Julia at the StampingGround, so hop over there to join the fun.

Had another great weekend with some serious play time— and not shockingly, the desk is left a mess.  I received my Our Daily Bread Designs order; a Christmas stamp, some dies, and a pack of their paper...which actually might end up a gift…or, to be totally honest, is supposed to be a gift; but might end up staying….I am soooo bad! LOL!

So I played around with the layered die and the Daffy stamp; one card is on the desk; below is the three I came up with; I was going for a pastel spring look for Mother In Law’s birthday; but like the darker one better…so I think she’ll get that one.

Tonight I better clean up; having a play date on Saturday…a true motivator!  So now go visit Julia’s and visit with all the other Desker’s.  Have a great week everyone.

Welcome to WOYWW…the “What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday”  blog hop created by Julia at the StampingGround   so hop over there to join the fun.

Had some honest play time this weekend—the type with no set project in mind; no specific card to make—you know that rare time which usually ends up with you staring at a blank sheet of paper? Pinterest to the rescue! Or not….depending on how you look at it; you can get lost in Pinterest!  But in this case, a good thing.  So I got inspired to first recreate a card sample using the Stampin Up Set “Too Kind”.  Then I just had a ball playing around with other color combos so I have quite a few ready to get placed on cards when needed.   Then I stamped out a ton more Crazy Birds, Cats and Accessories to take to work to color on my lunch breaks…

Oh, I also (and finally) got around to punching little circles out of blank labels, unwrapping all 60 of my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and marking then sticking the tiny labels on the cap. I’ve had the markers since July; and they were all neat and tidy and properly coordinated in their box; and while I have absolutely no anal or OCD tendencies; I just couldn’t start using them till this was done.  As now I’ll probably get a 2^nd Tim Holtz Marker tin and throw them in there all willy-nilly.  But, since there is little to tell the colors apart, except by that tiny label, it would have driven me crazy; or crazier that peeling and sticking (did I mention 60) of those tiny (like…really small) labels to the tops of the pens…

So now go visit Julia’s and visit with all the other Desker’s.  Have a great week everyone.

Got some serious play time in this weekend…thank heavens!  But then when I was done, I still had some time before starting dinner, so I tidied, so the desk is pretty uninspiring. 

The new Dylusion's paints need to join their sisters; unfortunately there’s no room in that basket, so they’ll hang out there until I remedy that solution.  The front poppies, with their clear stamps being very up front, are from My Sentiments Exactly…and have matching dies, which made it back to their Artbin case.  The pile mid-left are some pieces/parts and a wayward stencil, that don’t have a place to go to. 

Don’t know why I couldn’t put the scissors, tape roll and sponge applicators away…it would have been another 2 seconds.  And I re-arranged my markers, as I prefer the Distress ones in the new tin so I can easily bring to work to color. The white holder I took out of the desk organizer thingy so I can use that as a shelf, and put all my misc. other pens there.  The Green tin is holding misc. die cut parts.

Oh, and here is a canvas panel I made that the Library will display with whatever our next project will be to promote the stamp club.  Used Distress Paints, Molding paste, stencil of unknown origin…

So now go visit Julia’s and visit with all the other Desker’s.  Have a great week everyone.

This should be a really happy desk! It has all the stash I ordered in January following the CHA previews…(well, the stash that was to be released in February…If only I could build my financial IRA to the extent of my CRS [crafty retirement stash]-I could retire now!)

But I took this photo Friday afternoon when I smuggl…err, brought it all into my craft room, to share with my stamping buddy and plan our next play date, and there it sits….still. Weekend aspirations shot…And the paints are calling me in my sleep! And those crazy cat stamps and dies…and I sit at work writing policies…when I should be home playing!  Just can’t stand it! Arrrgghhh!  (deep breath)

Best you go visit Julia’s and visit with less frustrated Desker’s…ignore the huddled muse in the corner.  Nothing to see here…move along….
