WOYWW and LTD

My eyes are tired but I could not sleep so I got up and finished off a card that I was needing to get in the post.  Then I remembered it was Wednesday so I had to hurry and get some photographs taken for Julia at The Stamping Ground and all of her followers.  I notice this week Julia has a pile on her desk and has even gone over to her dining room table.  Pop over and see her desk and look at some of the links to others.

Sorry I did not get around to everyone last week but I do hope I at the very least managed to go to those who had commented on my blog.  I hope I was successful in switching word verification off from my blog as I realise it does hold up the commenting process.  Susie Jefferson says it makes no difference whether you have it on or not and I believe in Susie as she is a whizz at computers.  Anyway, I digress - here is my desk taken just a few minutes ago:


As you can see there are piles of papers underneath my ATG gun, still the aftermath of my FP weekend (see post below) on the left hand side, and I have let you peek underneath my desk.  Hang on, I'll take a closeup of that area


Some wallpaper to the left, my Wizard, some more papers in a case, another case with some of my instructions for various projects inside it, a concertina file (more instructions for projects) and my atc folder with some more papers on top.  This little lot needs tidying up!

This is a closeup of my papers


Anyway, the reason for my mess of papers on my desk (would you believe it, that is just one drawer of papers - there's another drawer and a big box in a cupboard - memo to self  "must use my papers more and not keep buying them ") is that I was making a card for the LTD challenge as well as for posting off.  I ended up choosing plain paper so did a bit of stamping on the main cardstock.  This is it - finished!


Well, that's it folks (as Bugs Bunny would say) I really must get those papers put away as I have lots of things to do and we have to go out later.  Think I could do with a sleep now.

Really great card!

Hi! I would love to come a play with you! So many wonderful things to play with you! You asked what wall putty was- I buy it at the hardware store, and I guess it's used to fill in holes in a wall! I've used it for some time now with my canvases and paper, the same way I'd use gesso. Patsy from

You may keep telling yourself that you don't need any more papers, but you WILL keep buying it....I do and it's very irritatin, as storing them, for me is a problem.
Have a great day

aisling said...

I hardly ever use design papers, but I can't stop myself from buying them either... It must be a curse... Putting a pile of papers on your desk like that surely will prove very effective! Thanks for commenting on my creepily decorated desk. N°47

Jaqi said...

I keep meaning to use up papers i have and not buy more but it never seems to work that way for some reason, says she whose bought more today !! I long for a tidy desk....I really do !

Rosie said...

Oh my, this is a happy busy workspace! Looks like a great place to get creative.

lisa said...

Why is it that crafters always have more stash than space, not matter how big their storage is. Your wallpaper made me smile. I have a piece rolled up in a corner too!!!
Gorgeous card.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I know you are now at your retreat or whatever you call it when a bunch of crazies get together to make scrapbook layouts and cards! I would call it a whole lot of fun, since I've never been to one.

Thanks so much for the sweet words you left on my blog and for becoming a follower. I'm still moving slowly, but trying to start visiting people who visited me. Happy very belated WOYWW and happy fun weekend (# 15).

Nicks said...

thats a definitive creative desk, thanks for sharing!
Sorry I am late passing by, my internet went down wednesday evening, how inconvenient

Julia Dunnit said...

It must have been playing on your mind - getting that fab card finished was the perfect way to get back to sleep! I'm like you - pull out all my paper, create chaos and then use plain! Cures the strain of choice, huh!!
