So I'm gently moving forward with the Christmas plans..there was a lot of evidence of it on WOYWW last week. Have y'all finished and moved on now?
( LLJan has decided to force me into Salisbury EARLY today, so have photographed Tuesday's mess. It remains just the same now. Of course, it's enough to stagger round with coffee in hand at this time of day, huh!!)
Show us what your work surface is minding for you won't you? Put a pic on your blog and link up here. Lovely.

I do so love all the bits and bobs on your desk. Still not in Christmas mode yet.
Love the little owls on October. Personally, Housework should be outlawed! Here in the US we have to get through Thanksgiving before Christmas can be a priority. Pies. Mmmmm. Love the desk! Love/ hate my ATG! :) -Amanda #7
Over the years, I've bought cute crafty do-it-yourself calendars. I see them every time I walk into my studio. I admire your resolve to actually plug through and get these pretty original ones done. I'm beginning to suspect that, while I do love to craft, I may just like the shopping a bit more. Hee hee.

WOW - so much on your desk today - the calendar is fab- love those owls! Good luck with Sainsburys ... I'll have a proper look at your desk at a more sensible time of day... lol!
You get earlier and earlier, and I was certainly not prepared for your post this week. But I finally found what you call sellotape. I had no idea that is what it's called in Britian. We all live and learn. I'm off to work on my Thanksgiving dinner and all guest meals in between. have a great WOYWW and I believe I'm #9 this week.
good job on your calendars, Julia! when i grow up, i want to be like you, giving things i made myself for Christmas. for now, i go shopping!
thanks for hosting and sharing! happy WOYWW!
hugs,

I don't think you should feel bad... you are way ahead of me!! I keep thinking that its still a couple of months away... so no need to panic! Glad to see your desk in its more normal state this week... love the owls on your calendar page.
What a hoot. No pun intended. I've saved the cardboard instructions for my ATG and refer to it everytime I have to refill! Have a great day with LLJ.
Oh Julia are you kidding? Christmas? I'm with you. October is where it's at. Is that a 2009 calendar?
Love the desk this morning the owls looking stunning.Im glad im not the only one who hates refilling there ATG gun nightmare!!

Love the calendar - my desk also shows yesterdays stuff but has actually moved on and changed this morning (that has never happened before!) anyway its still too dark to take a new picture and my desk is only slightly tidier anyway so I am leaving as is! Have a great day in Salisbury and enjoy the coffee! Sunshine Girl – No 19
Love that picture on that calender. I think my atg is about to run out as it is doing that "I'm too stiff to want to work" thing!! I think I am a week ahead too - my title is 130 - oops!!!! Better change it! and quick!!
Wednesday already! Thanks, as always, for hosting! The calendar is looking fab! The owls are v cute! Have a wonderful time in Salisbury x
oh my! way too early, and had to get coffee before commenting! love the calendar page, and I LOVE tiger too, sadly there isn't one near me, so have to resort to waiting to go there when in London! Have a great day in Salisbury :) and there is blog candy on my post , just in case you fancy a go at getting a set of Seasonal Distress inks :))
Happy Woywwing
Well those owls are so sweet and love the blingy things on the page, fab.lots of goodies on your busy desk, and on the Christmas front..I am way behind!!!happy woyww hugs trace x(30)
ooh, love the calendar-owls are a 'hoot'!!! (sorry it's too early for sensible comments!!).
Loving your tape-I have seen the shop Tiger once in london, not sure if they are in other places but now I will be having a look!

looks like the calendar is coming on a treat julia...love exploring all the stuff on your desk and oh my giddy aunt refilling that gun requires nerves of steel...the patience of a saint and a cuppa...happy woyww big hugs kath xxx
There's a large espresso with your name on it!! AND I bought extra long matchsticks too :)
S'ya later alligator...
Hugs, LLJ #39 xx
Oh busy desk, and I love the calendar page, very appropriate! Just had the first cuppa, off to make the second, they do go down quick first thing in the morning dont they?
Happy WOYWW

It all looks like something is about to burst, the calender is looking lovely... I had some of that paper, with a dragon on it, for my dragonsmoore ebay invoices...thought it looked dragony! Always fancied the sticky gun thing,but it's cost was out of my price range and so were the refills...probably why I bought a cheap hoover that didn't need bags, as my lovely old hoover's bags suddenly were being made out of gold and two boxes of them cost MORE that the cheap hoover....of course I mean vacuum cleaner...but it was too hard to think how to spell that at this time in the morning...oh ...ping...my porridge is ready. lovely.
((Lyn))
Think I'm 38 this week...that sounds so much nicer than being 80! (not that I'm 80)
Hope you and Lunch Lady Jan had a great day, the craftin will wait! No post ready today...maybe I can get one going and join in a day or two...just a busy day and an evening balancing bank statements for others tonight...so not fun. Love all your tools on your desk!
Loving the calendars. Thanks for the push to get back to my craft desk.
I had to look around to figure out what sellotapes are. and now I want some!
Hah! I've never seen them here, but we don't have Target. (argh, I adore Target)
love the calender love it when your desk is all messy too :)
Love your calendar Julia and it's really good to see your hive of industry today :-)

Oooooh nice stencil. I have my corner chomper out to :) love that little gadget something wholly satisfying about a rounded corner :)
Ooo my favourite - owls and on my birthday month October too. Have a great week. x Jo
Fab calendar! Those owls are gorgeous. Enjoy Salisbury - make sure you feed the swans and ducks when you're there. And WHAT does LLJan want long matches for - you girl plotting something for the day? Di xx
Hi there, those owls are lovely and your desk is looking nice and busy this week.
Gorgeous calendar page you have there, love that stencil. If you run out of things to do (LOL) Papertrey Ink had a Make it Monday video on how to make your own tissue tape out of stamped tissue paper. It's on my list of things to do :D. I'm in the thick of the holiday frenzy with three significant birthdays betwixt here and Christmas just for good measure. Fortunately I've got a bit of a running start, now I just have to dodge the potholes life throws in the way lol.
I Love this ...and I love your desk ...your mojo has retutned with vengence. I think I'm getting a pink gun for xmas ...I do hope its not hard to load ...6 years ago I bought one ... like yours I think, and it ended in a bin due to frustration.
Love all owls so your calendar page is calling to me. Hope you enjoy your shopping trip today, Spend! Spend! Spend!
Lovely desk! I wish I could work like you do. Just a few things out and I can't find anything. I have lost stamps for days on end, knowing full well they are there somewhere! Happy Thanksgiving
Lots of useful stuff on your desk. The calendars are going to be really lovely and the recipients will be very pleased, I'm sure. Those printed sticky tapes are interesting. I don't think I've seen anything quite like them here, but I'll be looking out for them.
Oooooh!! LOVE those little owl on your Calendar page! That's lovely! What a great gift! :)
Lots of lovely crafty stash out on your desk this week!
I have been trying to tidy my craft room for ages but everytime I make a start I end up 'playing' with stuff I forgot I had... *sighs*
Take care and happy WOYWW !
Jackie x
Your calendars look just fabulous Julia ... what a treat to have them on your wall all year long - very lucky recipients indeed! Debbie xXx
Not sure there's anything in Salisbury worth an early start!! Let us know what you get up to.

Julia, I think your calendar pages are gorgeous. It's such a lovely idea. Nice busy, productive desk! I'll try and do better visiting people this week - I've been laid up really poorly with a throat infection all week. Still got no voice but at least feeling a bit better now. Nothing, absolutely nothing has happened in my ARTHaven this week!! Happy WOYWW, and thanks again for organising us all! Hugs, Shoshi
I am really liking your calendar pages. Your desk looks very busy this week. I am awaiting my husbands return from China to get my ATG refilled. My daughter can do it too but me...I am all thumbs. Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great week. Vickie #64
Just had a quick look around a few sites - can't stop for long, the DVT doesn't like it! Enjoy WOYWW everyone!
Love your calendar... the desk looks good in it's mess and awaits your return from your jaunt with JanLL. Hope you two have a great day,
Love JoZarty x
I'm really stuck on the calendar page for this week. Need to use a bare tree stamp which I don't have but thats a bare branch your owls are sitting on right? Think I might just have the answer then. Thanks for the inspiration. Hugs Mrs A.
Printed Sellotape? I must have been hiding under a rock or something because I never knew where was such a thing.
It’s good to see your desk back in its usual ‘state’ (read that whichever way you feel appropriate) It feels like coming home when I see it in full work mode…..In a strange way it’s comforting Lol!
Happy Crafting!

Makes me feel better to see someone building a craft crapalanche as big as mine :-)
Think the owls are fab, just right for that page.
Enjoy Salisbury, and go easy on the espresso, you'll end up with wiggly lines on your calendar!

Sorry I missed you in Winchester the other week, darn solicitors :-( Next time lovely lady. Those owls are stupendous. Where is the stencil from? I can see a million uses for those...
Fun Calander Page, love the OWL stencils lots of fun ones there and the cello tapes would be something new for me. Have a fun day in Salisbury, I'm off for some AM wake me up coffee and visits..
Those owls are just adorable. I always steer clear of these stencil sheets as I never know what to do with them but I do now!!!
I love to see your desk so full of industry but admire you using these tape guns, I just couldn't be bothered with the faff. Good old wet glue does for me!!
Enjoy your day out with LLJ.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #84
Joining in again this week, hope this site isn't addictive , I haven't much time to post stuff...oh dear I fear it may be though. Computer problems still( it freezes), but I will try and leave comments when I can though :O) Viv ( Daizy-Mae) xx
Look at your happy desk! What a super cute owl. Can't wait to see the finished calendars.
Love the calendar owls and the gems too. Can't use Mr Linky again as using iPad. Can you add me? Famfa http://busybutterfingers.blogspot.com

My room is way to SMALL, I need a bigger house!
Sometimes repetition is a drag but then again who am I to talk with my production line going lol. Christmas!! Who said Christmas? I think Christmas should be all year round so we have time to do stuff for it, seems to be the busiest time of year and yet not enough time to prepare for it then its gone

Loving the calendar! Just signed up to participate in WOYWW! Whoo hoo
Does your desk have to be about paper crafting or can it be about anything you happen to be doing? This is not about my desk but it's what I posted today....
http://maryanntate.blogspot.com/2011/11/trying-new-techniques.html
there is an angel on my desk this week, made as a cheating way to do all the Christmas cards in one photoshoot and print session,
I may double recant and add glitter to the prints,
why did the nude not make it to print? (sounds like a joke)- Niall said there was no way we could send a bare bum out as the business Christmas greetings card...he is such a bah humbug eh?

Love the owls. Hope you had fun in Salisbury with LLJ. Anne x

Thanks so much for hosting WOYWW, it's such a wonderful and creative space! I enjoy seeing what everyone gets up to. Those are very cute owls. Once again you have many items on your desk that I do not know what they do :) It looks super fun though!
Your visit to my blog is much appreciated, your comment blow me away. Happy WOYWW! xx
I need a new memory because I ready what you said about the ATG being a fiddle to change tapes, and then went and bought a pink one. der!!!
Hugs Joanne xx
Completely inspired my most everyone else's desks! Had to share in the fun. Warning: I'm new to art journaling and dunno what the heck I am doing yet! :D
