What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 81

Gawd, sorry about the lack of Mr Linky - it was entirely a human error..indeed, that human might even have been me....told you I had a memory problem! That's what I get for trying to schedule and be organised!!
The Christmas edition! Good grief already! Do not be afraid or alarmed, do not fall in a faint or choke on your snack, worse, do not spray coffee over the keyboard. My desk is (relatively) tidy!
I don't know if you can tell from the awkward angle, but the basket of stamps waiting to be cleaned is full of....just cleaned acrylic blocks and some other bits waiting to be put away! I know! I'm in as much shock as you are. I didn't enjoy it, there is no therapy for me in the cleaning and putting away, but hey, Wipso, Twiglet, at least when you get here we can just have coffee and chat! I've made a couple more of the tags we made in a workshop last week; but that's all I've done, and it was driven entirely by need. Need for tags, not need for creativity! I'm scheduling this post because I'm doing a Helen, and setting off for work at OhMyGoshO'Clock. Loads to do and not enough hours this week for sure. But by this afternoon, I'll have crept out of work and down to Tidworth for a cuppa with Shopkeeper Gal. One last hit of potential buying before the holiday and a session of diary planning for some more workshops...the fun part of the day, for sure. Christmas Party tonight too - I wonder if that will finally help me to get' in the mood'. Probably. Well that and a pint of Bailey's should do the trick! Happy day bods, stay warm stay focused and it'll all be done....and probably perfect!

    Julia, thanks for providing us with the chance to have a look around at other desks. Makes me feel alive to travel at cyber-speed!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I find a very tidy desk is most unnerving. I do need some stuff around to help the creative juices to flow. Have a wonderful Christmas, everyone, and I hope the snow does not cause too many problems for you all. Enjoy all your new crafting goodies, with a nice drink and a lovely box of chocolates.

  91. heehhe!! I've been practising! (On my closed blog Spyder's other corner 2) But...it's doing the same as it does on Spyder's corner, the old back ground is stll there, even with out the code! Spyder's corner hasn't got a code for the background, I took it out last year, the new background shows up for about 5 seconds and then the old one over rides it (delightful dots and Debbiecrafts dot com on the other blog).. anyway...I now have a bell!!!!but no one will see it, as I'm too much of a scaredy cat to try it for ''real!' Thank you for the link!
