What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 143

Oh la ladder has claimed a victim!
 That's probably the last view of the ladder folks.  It was waiting for the van to be purchased and empty, and it was removed this weekend.  I know, a lot of you will be really relieved by that bit of tidying...me..not bothered either way!  Meanwhile...

Oh la la!  Mess mess and more mess!  Over lit and then over exposed by flash, so all you can see really is that I am actually working.  And achieving too; if you're going to Japonica's Craft day Extravaganza in Exmouth next month, you will find yourself getting quite familiar with one or another of these cards. I've enjoyed them too, just a few notes to type up and it's a ready workshop.  Then I need to tidy up and quickly.  A workshop on Thursday morning needs preparation (like unpacking from the last one - it will help), and there's the crop on saturday.  And you know what sort of prep that takes.  I don't know whether to shout 'clear the decks' or just move to the floor...ask me again on Friday!

Oh and to get a WOYWW badge - all you have to do is be a regular WOYWWer and ask me for one - as in, email me your address.  And then be a bit patient please!  
See, here there's no shame, share your desk..no doubt the fascination for me is seeing what everyone's making, and where you do the making. Join us do - photo your desk, upload to your blog and link here. We'll visit. Slowly probably, but hey, it's what the days between Wednesdays are for!

    Yikes, I just about got trampled in the stampede! glad to see the ladder has a new home, as for the desk, I like your idea of moving it all to the floor. Or you could just come over here and use mine, I've got no use for it at the moment!

    Hugs

    I assume you will distribute badges Saturday? I hope so :)

    Oh and poor Mr Dunnit - well, actually had he DUNNIT and moved the flipping thing he might have survived. But you had a giggle staging that one LOL!

    Have a lovely day!

    I hope that Mr D survived his trip under that ladder. He's hanging on to that fork for dear life! Great mess you are making there and it sounds like it going to get worse before it gets better too! Will email for me badge... I love badges too so thanks ever so for that in advance. It will be great to wear when I'm demming or go to the shows.

    That photo cracked me up because I didn't see it clearly when I first clicked on and then changed my glasses and saw the victim... made my morning... you have a busy time ahead and your desk always looks like one I would like to rummage around in... sure there are lots of hidden treasures in there...xx

    LOL! that's quite view of the ladder this week. my, you're a busy gal, Julia. i have no idea how you can get any housework done with all the crafting activities in your sked! so of course i think your desk is quite neat (only one layer high) considering.

    happy WOYWW! and of course i want one of those badges!

    There's a lot happening on your desk this week. Those cards look interesting. Wouldn't mind a close-up of them. I love your pink baskety things for pens etc! I presume no animals (or persons) were harmed in the making of that other pic? Good one!

  23. voodoo vixen29 February 2012 at 01:31

    So no more interesting pics with the ladder as a prop in the background? I am sure something else will take its place in due course!!
    Your desk looks interesting, the cards look very involved... but you know me, cards scare me to death!
    Will be emailing you for a badge... how cool and won't it make life easier when you are going to shows and stuff... we would all instantly recognise each other... ok.. that may have to wait for me to go to a show or actually be in the UK...

  24. Lavinia29 February 2012 at 01:32

    Oh dammit dunnit! I knew those ladders would claim a victim eventually...your new van like our new van can fit an amazing array of massive things in it. Our ladders are in it and they are big un's too! Your desk looks really colourful with the over exposure & to be honest with you that look really takes your eye off the fact you need a good tidy too, thumbs up eh! :)...have a good week! Oooo can I have a badge too...I will wear it with the pride it so rightly deserves..! will e-mail the details.

    I was in a clean the desk or move to the floor...and I took over, well, everything! I'll need to clean Thursday though, or AJ will have no where to sit when we get back from New York!

    The cards look great! And it sounds like you have a lovely weekend coming up with the workshop and the crop!

    Happy WOYWW!

    Wow! Sounds like you're a busy girl this week!! Glad to see your ladder's been moved...you know they take on a life of their own after a while...and they start attacking! Haha!!

    Thanks for the peek at your desk. The cards look lovely...wish I lived close enough to come see them in person at the Extravaganza next month, but I live WAY too many time zones away!

    Happy WOYWW!!!!!

    Well, I sure wish I lived in England to try out some of these shows I read about!
    Would love if you would post a close up of the cards after your show and class...they look interesting and lovely.

    I'll bid adieu to the ladder...it always scared me...my DH fell off the ladder at our house, landing shoulder and head first on the cobblestone path to our side basement door. It was months before it felt right...and plenty of $$ at physiotherapy. At $83.00 per hour for the physio every week, he no longer climbs a ladder!!!

    Thanks for another great week! I will email you for a badge.

    Your desk is wonderful, would like to see a close up of the card, the colours are beautiful.

    I would love a badge, can't wear it over in England, but I can proudly display it here in my office in Aus.

    Lol. I don't read fine print so something else caught my eye in that ladder picture so I focused and couldn't believe I saw a body below that ladder. Hee hee. I wonder how many people will miss that? Anyway, wish I was going to all those fun events you're prepping for. They sound like lovely crafting times. Enjoy!

    The water coloury cards look very interesting, just push back or move onto the next available clear surface, but you know that's my theory!

    Did you clear away the body as well as the ladder or is it still splatted on your lawn?

    Japonica......I haven't seen Janet for years......say hello to her for me please.Good luck with all the prep.

    Good day! I love the creative energy of your work space and your view is so lovely! Alas my little space isn't chock full of anything exciting today! I did see a sign that said my desk was clean yesterday sorry you missed it, well apply that to me just the other way around!

    Hi Julia, this is my first WOYWW post, and I hope you don't mind...as I'm a writer, not a papercrafter! My good friend Zoe (Gashead) encouraged me to post, after showing me the website a couple of months ago - I've been dipping in and out ever since. Your ladder-incident is intriguing, and your desk...um, er, well...is a bit messy, eh?! Still, organised chaos is the way for us creatives! Best wishes, Deb Penpot

    I had no idea the ladder was vicious!!! Thanks for another great look at your desk. I do know all about class prep and gearing up to stamp elsewhere. There is a lot of work involved. I am very impressed how many folks do manage to stop by. I visited about 80 myself. I think I can get more this week though since I'll be slogging at the switchboard. Oh! Off to change my comment box to the pop up kind now.

    Those birds on your desk look great, so soft and pastel.
    Our neighbor has an 8 foot ladder sitting up in his back yard for days now. Nor sure if he is picking stars or playing with the clouds. It is just sitting in the middle of the yard. Really not a pretty site from here, but I try to use my imagination and think that he is planning for something wonderful. lol

    Well! I'm not sure what it will be like without Mr. D's ladder in the background, although lately your desk pictures are taken at early morning it seems. But I know, times change and we have to move on, lol How's the van driving going anyway? waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

    Can you at least leave the pitch fork? Or perhaps you could put something new in place of the ladder ... see how long it takes us to notice! Thanks, as always, for hosting this delightful romp around the world!!

    Julia! I'll miss the ladder. But yes, it was an accident waiting to happen. I'm thinking the banging of a shin. I just noticed that nice wicker (I think it is meant to hold water glasses???) pencil holder, desktop rear left. It's like a wicker tray holding wicker pencil cups.
    I'd like a badge but don't know what it is. I want what you folk have, even if I don't know what it is. How is that for pathetic? *smiles* Norma

    Well you are one busy bee, hope the workshop and crop go well. Love the flower stamp on the little easel thing. Oh, I seem to have put the wrong link on mr linky widget - it goes to my editing of the blog post (what I get for trying to multi-task with little one running around!) which means that people can't actually get to the post. Is there anyway I can edit it or should I just resubmit a new link?

    Goodness you have got a lot to do Julia, I have never been to a crop and only 2 workshops one on using copic pens and the other on colouring with distress inks - that one didn't go so well hence why i only have two distress inks! Think you may have to move to the floor! lol Glad you enjoyed Toby's story yes it can be very embarressing lol. I like the cards with flowers i just never seem to be able to arrange them and often think how on earth will that survive in the post (if i ever do make a box) so tend to stay fairly 'flat' bought a ton from wild orchid crafts about 3 years ago and think i have used One! Hope you mange to sort out your workshops and crop and Have fun Happy Crafting Lou xxx

    A change is as good as rest so they say Julia, so I see the floor as being a welcome substitute for your desk.
