Well, here's a staggering return to form - Brenda, you may wanna look away and wonder how long it really will take to rub off on me!!
I haven't actually managed much since I got home from Belfast - except to dump new stuff on top of the work in progress stuff and move some things around. In the quest for space of course.
The red clock house (unfinished) is still there - at least I have an idea now. And since Scrap Lady Ally blogged about how to alter photos to fit the window sizes, I may actually be able to move on with this one! The yummy Basic Grey is for round two of some invitations - I intend to use the other side of the sheet, so that's unintentionally mysterious! You can see the new stamps I talked about yesterday; other stamps are awaiting attention for a frightening number of workshops that I've committed to. Actually most of the stuff you can see there is for workshop purposes. The silver ink pad is a breath of fresh air - I've been using and re-inking the same one for years, so I think this will be a great treat! Inside the horribly reflected plastic bag is the makings of a mini book that I started around the table at Ffroggie's place over the weekend. Started. Unfinished because it was late and there was chatter and another perso
n's stash to look at; much too distracting!It doesn't look any more inspiring from this end either. I'm up for a jolly good tidy up and am feeling very much in the 'getting on' mode. That is because for the last two days and most of this morning, I am committed elsewhere; frustrating but to be expected!
Today's edition of WOYWW is for our mutual friend Paula, by now hopefully post-surgery; feel better soon gal, we need you back, pronto!
So come on then, leave a comment, make use of the Mr Linky thingy and show us your workdesk - surface - whatever it is, we wanna see it. And what you're doing of course!
All that new stash makes me jealous - I must, I must resist!
ReplyDeleteSee what's happened, Julia, and it's all your fault! I've had to take a Wednesday off so that I can get around all the WOYWWers blogs! ;)
Wow! You are early today! Love those papers! can't beat a good pile of Basic Grey Papers to cheer me up!

I'm off today too having thermasitic valves fitted-to my radiators not me! So, aiming to sit and look at everyone's desk this week as I won't be able to craft. Love all your new stash.

You are obviously getting ready for some serious crafting by the look of your desk - would this be those invites you keep tempting us with?!?!?! See the ribbon jar has gone, bin or cupboard? Love your new stamps, going now to check on the others, but before doing so - would like to echo your thoughts about Paula. ikki
ReplyDeletedid you blog early or am I late! lol wait till you see the state of my drawers! not even sure I should have showed but too late now!
ReplyDeleteHugs xx
Good to hear from Wipso that Paula came through ok, I miss her! What a lovely lot of stuff you have on your desk, I love the basic grey paper and the rest of your stash looks very exciting too! Tracey x
ReplyDeleteIt's always great visiting your desk, because I can enlarge the picture and have a really good rummage! Ideal for nosey parkers like myself. Loving the look of the house clock, and the Basic Gray.
ReplyDeleteNew stash! How great...like the tulip stamp :)
ReplyDeletexoxo
Fab desk Julia. Love the look of the little tag book hanging up with March on the front one.... enjoy your new goodies. :)

ReplyDeleteAll the best with those workshops, hope you get chance to finish that mini ablum this week - I wanna see it
Morning Mrs Dunnit ... I am loving the get up and go spirit you have today ... is it Vodka or valium??? :0) Seriously ... whatever it is ... send me some ... I have so much to do. LOVE that house frame thing ...
ReplyDeleteHelloooooo I've just added my photo for today.
ReplyDeleteJulia, what have you got held together with the bulldog clip things?
It's all looking busy and interesting on your desk today - but they caught my eye because I'm always holding things together with that sort of clip too!
Hi Julia having the perfect day as I can't do anything I am sitting waiting for the next WOYWW to be uploaded - think I might make them all for once! The brown bag has a little bunny in a basket in it ready for my easter gift to my neighbour. Had to put it on the desk out the way whilst "the man" does the radiators. waiting for him to ask what I am finding so absorbing on the netbook!

Hi Julia that pink shiney thing is a spritz gun to spray water or bleach on to inky things

Lol Julia had to giggle! Piglet's head is my pencil case!! haha!! :-) ooo look at all those goodies!! xxx
ReplyDeleteD'you know how hard it is trying to type with my hands over my eyes!?? I must be getting more tolerant in my old age, either that or you've all numbed me to the shock, but I don't find your desk that bad!! Especially when most of it is taken up with beautiful new stuff, love the look of the stamps, can you line them up and take a picture please?? I want to have a good look at them!!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I thought I was getting in early, but am shocked there's 35 links already!! Wow this is so popular - what have you started?!!
ReplyDeleteLoving your desk today, Julia, I like the side of paper you're showing and I'm not into green much!
I do spy the bottle of flowers still on the desk - has it been opened at all? Or is it on the to be tidied area of the desk?!! xxx
that brown bag has the easter gift for my neighbour in it- a felt bunny in a bag.well been constantly checking Mrlinky now since early morning while "the man" does my valves, waiting for him to ask what I am so absorbed in as I haven't left the sofa yet!
ReplyDeleteLinbyx
I sooo want to nick all the stash off your desk lol Have been having to use the "Pushing Back" method this week, think WOYWW is making me an untidy crafter, and do you know, I think I like it!!! ROFL
ReplyDeleteMy thougts are with Paula and wishing her a speedy recovery and return.
I want to steal all the stash from your desk and play lol. Have had to use the "Pushing Back" method this week, I think WOYWW is having an effect on me, and do you know, I think I like it!!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with Paula and wishing her a speedy recovery and return.

Love the look of those papers Julia; the colours are so delicate and pretty and the stamp on the top of them is beautiful too. It looks like a water colour image.
ReplyDeleteLots of new stash to play with lucky you.
ReplyDeleteGood looking desk today! Am just home from work - half day today - my hairdresser is coming to do my highlights! so I can spend the rest of this afternoon blog-hopping round all your desks! AND I've got my digi-cam working so you have photos today!! See you soon... oh, and hope you make a speedy recovery, Paula.
ReplyDeleteHi I went to yours and you came to mine, that doesnt make sense but I hope you know what I mean,
ReplyDeleteLove the new stamps seen them this morning and resisted, (so far).
New stash looks great just a bit of push back but not too bad this week cant wait to see the finished house.

Now am I going mad? I came by these here parts earlier and left a message and now I can't see it ... I can't remember what I said either ... I am not sure if you are censoring comments today ... in which case if you are then it will appear later and if you are not then the comment I made was witty and interesting and helpful :0)
ReplyDeleteWorking on a couple of canvas pieces, Zentangling (ALWAYS doing that!), making some atc's, creating some Alice in Wonderland themed necklaces . . . I love to see where people create *smiles*. Thanks for having WOYWW - this is my first time participating.
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks just gorgeous today! I want to come to your place and play. Invite me and I'll bring some cake! :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs

ReplyDeleteget well soon paula :)
ReplyDeleteit looks very organised today miss jules and the red house looks well lush, now to get those pictures cut for the windows, just thought i'd give you another job to think about, ha ha!

ReplyDeleteBugs for me:) how kind of you to think of me while out crafting with friends. once this job thing is sorted I should be able to take a day out and come over to meet you :) I'm in need of a visit to paperchase! there is one in Southampton isn't there???

ReplyDeleteBut I made it... Oh I do like the look of them delish papers .. urm .. play time comes to mind!
Those papers look fab!
ReplyDeleteI am gonna sit with a glass of wine and try and visit everyones desk tonight!
Had to pop out earlier and have been busy since, also the dratted internet connection problem has returned; but at least I've discovered that if I unplug the modem for a few minutes and back in, I don't need to reboot the PC, so slightly less irksome!
ReplyDeleteOoh sounds like you're going to be a busy bee Julia. And when you've finished tidying at yours can you pop round and tidy here please? LOL
Hope Paula's doing ok after her op, look forward to her being back online :)

Basic Grey papers.........a girl can never have too many!!!
ReplyDeleteThe ticket on my desk (with LOVE on)is from Tim Holtz.
Be easy on me, this is my first time. x
ReplyDeleteOooh gorgeous looking new stash.
ReplyDeleteThe trade show is The Care Show for care home operators and managers - I work for an interior design and fit-out company that specialise in dementia design.... you sure you want to pretend? LOL
Thanks for your comment Julia....I don't know what I do wrong, sometimes my pics enlarge and sometimes they don't! That jar used to have boiled sweets in it and is now full of my fancy brads....I have to admit though that I haven't actually used any!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Looks like you are going to be one busy lady Julia. I haven't played along with your WOYWW as yet - I will one day. Am loving your stamps and the papers look delish. TFS. ~Glen~
ReplyDeleteJulia I think I might just have made it to post WOYWW if you would like to go to my blog and have a look.Pat xx
ReplyDeleteMy link was wrong, so I re-reposted. However, I couldn't remove the one that was pointing to my 2009 Thanksgiving post. LOL
ReplyDeleteooo jealous of your new stash, I am hoping to get some of Sir Tims new ink pads. i was saving up for them but i got distracted and spent the money on something I can't even remember now lol
