Aaggh I'm all behind. I blame Monday. I spent it in Exmouth (as blogged yesterday) and so yesterday at home didn't feel like Tuesday. So now, even though I know it's Wednesday, I feel like it's Tuesday and I feel like I've got more of the week than I have. Golly, it's making me incoherent! Don't bother to re-read that, it'll probably be more frightening than lacking sense on a second consideration!
Lordy, it's tidy today! That's because all I did yesterday was unpack and put away and then tentatively start on the Anniversary invites. Then I blogged and didn't get back to them, so there was no chance to make a mess. Although you have to ask - why I need 3 rolls of double sided tape. And why I seem to have decided that I can knock out a card without a pair of scissors. Well, how about what is actually on the desk...hmm. A nestabilitie shape with some lovely text stamped upon it. My glass mat which I would run back in to rescue from a fire. The sadly unused Prima and button jars; I think they might as well be put away now, I'll try another tactic for using those. The Martha Stewart border punch (loopy) is still there because I used it yesterday to re-make a card for tomorrow's workshop - I was cutting stock and sorting kits and blow me, I didn't have enough of the same paper to go around. So I've made another card - the same - but in a different colour split. And then the punch stayed on the desk because I was going to use it again last night. But clearly, I didn't. I played scrabble with my phone instead!
There's another Clock House shape for the 2 Scrap Ladies project - now it's painted I've kinda lost my nerve with it, so it sits there waiting for what Paula calls the 'ping' moment. She's right, it will happen. Probably about a week after the event! And the little die cut bunny - the spare from tomorrow's workshop kits...waiting to be used on another card.....which in real life means it'll be moved around the desk until I'm fed up with it and throw it away.
So now, with the help of that fabulous Mr Linky - you know him - the cyber god that can link us all in a big ol' cultcircle thing whilst simultaneously arranging neat rows of numbered names and controlling gigabytes - show us your workdesk. Work surface. Where you craft. We wanna see what you're doing, and what you've got. So link in and leave a comment too, and we'll swing round to your place. Right now I'm off to put the ketlle on. Join me, do.
Was up with the lark and have been sitting here patiently waiting to see your mess...and...WOW, it is tidy...it seems I have been a very nawty blogger today and told everyone your desk is really messy...I humbly apologise for that...and...I 'fessed up again...more dark secrets..honestly, there was a time when I couldn't show you my messyness..and now there is no stopping me!!! ROFL Have a great day hun...and...I am very impressed with that desk of yours :O)) Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteMy goodness...I'm first!!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Julia! Are you ill? Your desk looks pristine!! I think you may have persuaded me over to a glass cutting mat.... though I must admit I was hankering after a pretty pink one last week so you never can tell! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Is that actual desk I can see? I feel faint :P
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise it was Wednesday either and now I have to dash out. I shall be back later with a piccy of my desk.
It's not my birthday anymore Julia *g* I snuck it through (or thought I did) under the radar on the 28th Feb. I was born 2 weeks late and arrived on my Nans birthday :D
p.s I like to confuse people in my blog posts :P Nah, Virginia told me she had been making something but it was taking her ages so to just know it would be late. Very apt, seeing what it's based on *g*
ReplyDeleteOooh I'd love a cuppa thanks Julia. :) I have rolls of DS tape all over the place & can normally never find any of them! that's the problem with being mobile! hehe...
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely WEDNESDAY! ....xx
you are busy with those workshops, hope the next one goes well
ReplyDeleteAll the best on those invites
whats the red frame! is that the clock face your talking about, i like it :) i love the white on red, very striking :) xx
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process sorting out my craft stuff at the mo, so my workspace is really messy. It's my hubby's birthday today and he's taking me out craft shopping (how well trained is he?!!), guess the sorting is on hold for a few hours then!!!!
Have a great day - good luck crafting without scissors LOL !!!!
Hugs

Another manic day for me so your blog seems very organised to me Julia. Mine is def very disjointed and manic but at least I've managed to do it. I will catch up with other blogs later....I promise.
ReplyDeleteA x
Lordy....you are tidy this morning! Like the No.4 label - funnily I have one of these shapes hanging about my desk today waiting for the PING! Good word, Paula. Just describes that lightbox moment brilliantly! Hope you soon catch up with the week! ikki x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness ... am I in the right place? Hellllooooooo ... I am looking for Julia ... have you seen her? If you are anywhere in the vicinity of Julia ... may I suggest you advise her to go lay down in a darkened room ... that desk is far too tidy ... somebody must have robbed her in the night and nicked all the stash off her desk! Oh yeah and while the kettles on ... mine is a black coffee ... ta muchly :0)
ReplyDeleteI've managed to post on the right day this week! Your desk kind of looks like the calm before the creative storm
ReplyDeleteCall that a true crafters desk?? Shame on you!
ReplyDeleteI see you have already popped over to my desk, thanks for that, my day hasnt gone as planned, was supposed to be out early, so was going to blog later, Then boiler broke down and I had to wait for my trusty boiler man so I blogged..... gawd I am rambling! anyway shouldnt be here but I am so will now go and nosey at everyone elses desk!
glad to see I am not the only one with a semi-tidy desk, Miss Julia :)
ReplyDeleteIt will be more messy by days end, rest assured lol
off to have a looksie at everyone elses desks.
Looks like I'm rubbing off on you! Don't think the others can quite appreciate it though! You can never have enough ds tape and scissors are completely overrated anyway. I shall be making my own first foray into nesties this weekend as a local craft store has them all on sale for 40% off, which makes them a shade under 10 quid! Probably shouldn't have told you lot that should I? I'll be inundated no doubt, Paula's already on her way!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Got here in the end! Have to say, I didn't recognise your desk today! May not get round may peep's till I get home from work - one of those days here today!
ReplyDeletewow you have a surprisingly tidy desk!!!!!! i struggled to figure out today was Wednesday too. I have blogged my desk - pretty messy today for me :D
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it is tidy, almost scaringly tidy! (Is that a word?) My crafting this week...has spread to the hall and out into the living room...but I didn't take a picture of that! Don't throw the bunny away!!! Hide him somewhere different next week, so we/I can still see him, or I'll have nightmares!
ReplyDelete(Lyn))
Oooer, very spooky tidy desk! I've linked in, off to get on with some work now and will visit everyone once I get home tonight
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time.....i hope its worked!! I'm going to have a tidy desk next week.....maybe!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeletejust a quickie your desk is very well behaved this week. no pushback needed.
Christine x
I thought i'd got the wrong desk then and someone was imitating your blog (tee hee)... Hope that lightbulb comes on soon or you'll be rushing and doing everything last minute. You should run a comp and get peeps to do a sample and post then you can choose the one you like best and copy it for your invites - like "Julia's invite Challenge"!!! Anyway - send some of that DS over here - i'm almost out!!! LOL.
ReplyDeleteOff to make myself presentable, then I'll grab a coffee before I go visiting everyone. See you all later!!!
Paula x x x
You really are tidy today ...whats that redish frame thingy ...cant get photo to enlarge. Wow I thought I did well doing this before lunch but what a list so far ..... I wonder how many this week.
ReplyDeleteYou mean ... it isn't Thursday??? Thought I'd got the wrong desk here!
ReplyDeleteOoh very impressive - the tidy desk. I think I have to agree about the Prima jar, perhaps you'll find the very thing to put some flowers on once you've put it away ;) I'm up for Paula's idea about getting peeps to do samples for you :) What will probably happen then, is you'll decide you don't like any, but something will 'ping'.
ReplyDeleteAnne xx
Sooooo tidy today Julia!
ReplyDeleteI'll catch up properly later, but just popping in now to say my photos are on my blog.
Julia I can honestly say this is the tidiest I have seen your desk, but I do have a confession mine might be just as tidy!!! Hugs Pam

ReplyDeleteA girl can never have too many rolls of DST you know. But a jar of flowers on a desk for months and not used? That's a crime!!
ReplyDeleteI'll forgive you though as I do like the look of that clock xxx

ReplyDeletexx

ReplyDeleteFifty people so far! I'm going to have take Wednesdays off work to get around everyone's workdesk!
ReplyDeleteThat desk is far too tidy Julia. Leave that ironing and get crafting.
I have spent so many weeks nosing at other peoples desks...thought it was about time I posted my own!
ReplyDeleteOOh a lovely tidy desk I like it very much! What is that red frame on the left? It looks very interesting! Also I think you are right to have three rolls of tape, I bet sometime you can never find one when you want one! Have a great week! Tracey x
ReplyDeleteHey Julia! I actually did it this week! Yay for me!! lol. Garshie golly I just love your blog. You amuse me to pieces.
ReplyDeleteoh, and might I add, this Mr. Linky thing is the greatest ever! I dont have to copy and paste anymore! WOOHOO!
ReplyDeleteno Im not taking a photo of my desk either, but I will say I also have several roll of tape on there, and a couple of pairs of scissors, and a folder full of paper...the list goes on..lol
ReplyDeletespeaking of links, have you seen the cool new one that puts a pic of the persons post (try saying that 3 times fast...lol) http://www.inlinkz.com/?refId=284
not bad looking desk at all, in fact it is a waaay to tidy (now I'm ashamed to take picture of mine...
ReplyDeleteFirst time I have joined in, been meaning to for ages only just made it too! Your desk is so tidy.
ReplyDeleteIt freaked me out to see your desk looking so orderly this week Julia, could it be that Spring is in the air and you’ve caught the Spring cleaning bug?
ReplyDeleteMind you, I do think it’s about time you did something with those Prima’s. If you’re really not going to use them any time soon, you know I have plenty of space to store such lovelies now, so I could help you out!
Sue
