This photo was taken on Tuesday at about 5pm. It looks much, much worse now. I've finished the card I was working on and without even attempting to tidy up, I started another, completely different, not even for the same workshop! You can see a little easel with WOYWW calligraphed on the canvas...a gift all the way from Shaz in Oz. The Union flag scrapbook papers are for...something. I know not what. Yet. One sheet is in pieces after I made one card. But I know myself well enough to buy two pieces at a time, so it's OK! The pile of red boxes right in the centre front are refill tapes for my ATG gun. I like the 6mm width and they are currently 3 for 2 at 3mselect.co.uk, which is a bargain. Meanwhile you can see I was listening to BBC iPlayer - Henning, a German comedian who has a show on Radio 2 on Saturday evenings...love it.
We're six weeks away from the third anniversary of WOYWW. (It will be week 156). Can you believe that? Well, I wanna know if you'd like to mark the occasion; we did last year and overall it was a great success and some fun. How about this year we trade WOYWW ATC's? On the day, send an ATC to the name below you on the list. The last on the list sends to the first on the list so there's a good old loop, and if you don't wanna participate, but still wanna show off your desk, that will be easy too....if you like the idea, mention it in your comment and I'll do a proper 'how to do it' post nearer the time. Meantime...
Show us this week's desk, work surface...upload a photo to your blog and link here. Please put WOYWW in your title and when you visit anyone, leave a quick comment that includes your link list number....makes it easier for your visitee to erm, visit thee. I thank you.
Sorry about the far-too-early phone call....hope ur ok :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJan xx
Lovely busy desk love the union jack papers... I would be interested in the ATC's although never made one so that would be a challenge on its own for me!!! Have a great week Hugs May x x x x
ReplyDeleteYes please! Lets do the ATC thing. I loved the PIF thing you did last year, I treasure mine.
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting so eagerly for this to post!! I woke 3 times in the night before I remembered you were changing when you post... lol!!! A WOYWW ATc swap sounds a fabulous idea, count me in...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous looking very busy desk - can't go wrong with union jacks. Happy WOYWW.
WOW that is a big bookcase and some of the stamps look huge!!The girl in the upper right hand corner?? Maybe my eyes are playing games on me as it is well past my bedtime here. But had catching up to do from traveling. I would love to do the ATC for the up coming Celebrating WOYWW Date.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy WOYWW and have fun sorting!!
Morning Julia, I hope you are well? Great desk shot as always, I love the card on the small easel :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great WOYWW and a fab week, Luv Karen #11
Wow...almost three years? That's incredible!! I would love to do an ATC swap.

You know me julia. I'm happy to participate in anything to celebrate the wonderful world of WOYWW :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ps someone may have to explain sizes etc to us who have never made one before.
I am (yawn) now going back to bed for an hour. I got up at before 4 with a bad back, eased off with tablets and sitting straight by about 6 but dare not go to bed then for fear I would miss you.
ReplyDeleteLove that corner set of shelves.
yes, I would do an ATC - look forward to it.
Hugs, Neet xxx :)
I have serious envy of the stamp ahelves!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a WOYWW ATC. Last year was so much fun.
Wow that's a super stamping corner! Love your union jacks, been digging mine out too, but there not on my desk yet! I love idea of sending an ATC to the person below, definitely have to tell us how it all works as I wasn't part of it all last year, can't believe it took me until the start of this year to find you all! Anyway take care & enjoy this weeks snoop! Zo xx 15
ReplyDeleteI would love to do the ATC thing to mark the anniversary too! Sounds like fun. I am glad to know that I am not the only one who creates in such a small clear space!! Like you my art table and walls are stacked and cluttered, especially when I am in the middle of creating. I need to clear up! xxoo
ReplyDeleteLove the ATC trade idea! Great desk as ever, the new time threw me a bit though!
ReplyDeleteWhoever designed the Union Jack card did a fab job eh? An ATC trade would work well especially with the postage costs by that time.
ReplyDeleteHugs Joanne xx
another creative snoop at your fabby desk julia and oh boy you had me guessing with the change of post time...mind you it's focused the mind for the day ahead...sending hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Julia, Not knowing what time you'd post the link I slept like a log - thanks you for changing it. I was debating getting up and then remembered and jumped out of bed to post my link. I was #8 when I sent the link then refreshed and became #12. Hey but still way further up the list :)) I'd love to do the ATC thing (wondering what the PIF thing was from last year though??). I just bought little easels for my craft group UKPC as they are so cute and great for displaying stuff, we're going to do a SWAP with the canvases which came with them. Really must get sorted for DS and school.........Later BJ #12
ReplyDeleteLike the paper too, where did you get it? Would love a big stamp displat/storage unit like that! And yes I'm up for ATC swapping.
ReplyDelete** Kate **
Great creative desk again!!
ReplyDeleteLike the ATC idea but can't guarantee I can commit at this point..
Good morning Julia, I love that Union Jack paper on your desk and would love some of those stamps on your shelves - brilliant. I would be up for an ATC swap although I have never done one before, it would be good to mark the day.
ReplyDeleteWoo, I have been looking and looking to post for AGES!!! YUour desk is fab and I LOVE your stamping corner.. it's great to see a bit more of your space. I would love to do an ATC swap, so count me in please
ReplyDeleteLove and light

I would love to do an ATC, but you will have to explain exactly what it is. Sounds like fun. Three years is a long time, so a celebration is definitely called for.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many stamps on those shelves, must have taken you a while to collect all of them.
Have a great week.
Von #27
We are like minded you know, about the paper. I always buy two sheets, especially if they are double sided! Do you want some help tidying your shelves missey? You might be missing a few after I finish though! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYes Yes Yes to the ATC idea. I keep last years from Kim on my computer desk and we are now good buddies thanks to you!
Hugs

...what a loVely gift from Shaz :) anything Union Jack always grabs my eye, loVe loVe loVe it...and your idea on ATC's is fabby I'd be up for that even though i'Ve never made one...have a great week...Mel :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! I can't believe I made it below 50 for the first time in a long time. Love the looks of your crafty area this week. I am also glad to see you have stacks of stuff! My whole craft room is like that. I think I am a lazy crafter as Kate Palmer says. I would love to swap ATC for the 3rd Anniversary. Let me know what to do! Vickie #32
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have the same sized working area as I do. So you can see, I have moved to our bedroom floor :D
ReplyDeleteI was away last week and had no idea about the changed timing, but have to say, this one is much better for me in Finland and in time zone +2!
Happy Wednesday!

Hi Julia, waited for you to be up with great anticipation this morning, popped off for a cup of tea and here you are :) Love the shot of your stamp shelves - how do you remember what you have in such a huge collection? There's a lot of red, white and blue about at the moment - so your desk is very on trend :) I'll join in with the ATC PIF in 6 weeks. Elizabeth x #27
ReplyDeleteLOL - so LLJ rang you early this morning eh? I wondered just how late you intended to post this week after your comment last week!
ReplyDeleteYes please to the ATC thing - fab idea cos then no-one has too astronomical a postal bill.... yay! Six weeks! Oh Em Gee....
Gorgeous desk this week .Have missed passed couple weeks what with blog ger problems so nice to be back count me in for ATC
ReplyDeleteHappy woyww hugs judex 33
Love your corner cupboard I so want to play with all those stamps what fun you must have..
ReplyDeleteLove the stamp shelves - lucky you. Mine are just thrown into a hamper unter the table, not very easy to get to!
ReplyDeleteATC thing sounds good
Have a great week and thanks for WOYWW. X
Love the paper and the in-depth snoop round your workspace this morning. You sneaked up on me today, was up at 6:15 making a drink and thought I was in with a chance of being i nthe first 20. Checked again just before 8:00 am and you weren't there then 15 minutes later I'm down to 39. That's what you get for sitting in bed with a cuppa and the paper.
ReplyDeleteLove to join in with the ATCs - great idea.

ReplyDeletetfs Happy WOYWW Mrs.C.x #41 xx
Sorry, forgot... I am number 40!
ReplyDeleteI missed out last ear but this year I will hope to join in! What a fun community we have built here - and I am SOOOOOOOOO happy to have a much improved computer and a solid connection for the first time in MONTHS, it seems. But grrrr to Blogger. It's doing yet another annoying thing (showing the blog briefly then going to a white screen with the loading bar just waiting waiting waiting, this IN ADDITION to the comment window disappearing on some) and there have been at least 3 blogs in the first 10 that had stuff I wanted to comment on or ask about. It's driving me MAD. Ah well. If it all worked properly it would be boring, no?
ReplyDelete:)

Morning Julia! I bet you find hidden treasure in them there stamp shelves :-). Love the ATC idea. Count me in. Happy WOYWW, Helen 35
ReplyDeleteMe again Julia - seem to have aged a bit and now I am 42!
ReplyDeleteFab desk and I am green with envy about your stamp storage shelves...I would love to have a poke around those shelves and a play. It would be great to do an ATC swap to mark the anniversary...count me in! Caro #49
ReplyDeleteNice work, I am really glad to be 1 of several visitants on this awful site : D

ReplyDeletekay,x
So glad you changed the time for a while, gives others a fighting chance :)
ReplyDeleteLove your stamp area - anyone meeting you would have no idea you're an untidy little pup but I can also come and help to sort out whenever you wish ;)
Shame on me, never made an ATC, but count me in. PIF was such fun last year and, hopefully, an ATC will cause less angst in the making!
Di xx
Oohh! It sounds like fun! I'd love to do it (even though I am an ATC Virgin *blush*)! Love the whole shelf section for the stamps! It definately makes good use of the corner! -Amanda x50
ReplyDeleteWow cant believe it wednesday again. Love doing WOYWW.
ReplyDeleteThank you. x
Morning Julia, I've got a little easel and canvas on my desk this week and on my posting for Tuesday you can see what I did with it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea propping your IPad up, think I will give it a whirl and your shelves make me want to have a rummage through them.
Congratulations on another anniversary and yes I will join in the ATC swap. It's been great joining in with you, it's a good incentive to be more creative.
Have a good week and thanks for all you do on WOYWW
Good Morning Julia, your desk always looks so interesting. I love that industrious side to crafting, like everyday can be different. Got my lights on that gigantic pot of pva, never seen one that big. Hope you have a lovely creative day. Happy WOYWW150. Hugs Rita xx
ReplyDeleteI'm late but who cares! Not even had breakfast yet... but not as late as I thought I was and YES please add me to the making of the WOYWW ATC's I'm sure I could manage that in the time, after all, I managed a craft room last year! Great desk... if I had room I'd love your corner cupboard...but it would be messier than yours, have a great crafting week...somewhere near the #43 mark)
ReplyDelete(Lyn)
Love the ATC idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday
Zoe #64
Yay! Someone's desk is almost as untidy as mine!! lol... you got a way to go to beat me though...lol
ReplyDeleteLOVE the ATC idea! Haven't done any of them aaaaaaages!!
Take care
Jackie x
Great post and good idea to mark the third anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI'm coming over to sort your stamp shelves out later xxx
Oh yes, you caught me out with the time this week. I had completely forgotten about the change of time for posting and just assumed it was Mr Linky playing up again. My fault! I have never done ATCs so that will be something new for me to try. You do have a lot of lovely stamps to play with, it makes my collection look a bit thin, but then I tend to the see through variety these days to make things easier when you want to create a scene with them. Thanks for sharing this week and for being such a good hostess. xx Maggie #59
ReplyDeleteGood morning Julia wow lovely busy desk, love the union jack papers and wow all te stamps, I've never made an ATC before. Hope you have a good week

ReplyDeleteLove the ATC swap idea but I'd rather not promise anything seeing as my crafting hours seem to get shorter every week lately... But I will take a note of it on my calendar and try to get one in :) It's always fun to get something in real-mail :) have a great week Julia!!

ReplyDeleteJulia,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much you made my day and really cheered me up. I was so flat after such a hard week of work. It has arrived and proudly sitting where it should right in the middle front row.
As for the anniversary swap, I have given up making ATC's but will join right in just for this occasion, because it is special.
Happy creating

Love seeing your stamp sheleves this week. And the Union Jack paper is great! I would love to do the ATC trade. I haven't done one in a couple of years, so I think this would be a good way to get back in to it. Dani #104
ReplyDeleteI love my ATG and can never find the refils as I put them somewhere safe from teenage boys!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out that deal
I've just got into doing ATCs so I'd love to join in. I haven't partaken in WOYWW for a couple of weeks because of the holidays but I'll be back!

I've been gone too long. But I'm flitting by again. Love the desk that shows lots of crafty goings-on. And, sigh, especially, the outdoor view. Love that.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd like to participate in the ATC anniversary event (hopefully the person above me doesn't mind sending hers to the US. At least the size should make that easier.. smile)

Well, I was commenting for so long, didn't notice that my number actually became 107. Gotta be quicker at the draw next time! *smile*

I'm so impressed that WOYWW has been going strong for almost 3 years! It's a testament to your leadership and our desire to peek over everyone else's shoulder.
ReplyDeleteI love the built-ins and could really use them myself, although Husband isn't the handiest hammer. *sigh*
I'm all for an anniversary ATC swap!
Cheers,

Hi! My name is Daniella and this is my first party with you!! I was totally excited to join! I have seen a bunch of people I know at your party every week. How fun is it to get to peek at other people's desks!

Thanks so much and have an awesome day!!

What great storage space for your stamps. I nearly purchased the same union jack paper last week but wasn't sure what I would do with it either. I love to celebrate your anniversary with an ATC

Hi Julia, thanks for your comment, I seem to be doing "catch-up" with replying to posts as I have been at badminton this morning, first time in 3 weeks! Do you actually know what geocaching is then? Not many do. My Leap page was geocaching too, I seem to be the only one left doing it in this family - BJ#12
ReplyDelete....and Yes! I would love to do the AtC swap ...how fun!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, My number 119 linked up with the wrong blog post....128 is for this week....weird!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia! I'd love to participate in an ATC swap.
ReplyDeleteI'm in....love the idea of the ATC. Last year was such fun...can't wait, what a way to celebrate a great anniversary. Your workdesk is a busy, busy place, isn't creating the best busy of all? See you next week.

No post from me today, still very busy with babysitting new ggrandhild and runing errands as they do not have a car right now. I know - excuses, excuses, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, I would love to participate in the swap, also, I had asked you to e-mail me your address ( cause I cannot read your hand writing on the envelope that you sent my button in ;) ) PLEASE!

I love the idea of WOYWW ATCs and hope that many can play and show them off in future WOYWW posts.
ReplyDeleteGreat messy desk today! Clean desks are the sign of a serious psychosis. Thanks for the peek at your shelves too. You've got lots of great stamps there! I love the pile method for the clear stamps. I have a similar method.

My excuse is that the CH boiler is on the blink. Anyway, warmer and awake now, so will start my blogland tour - hope you are all perky. xx

ReplyDeleteEither less are playing this week or....I must have got on top of things much earlier in my day...wheeeeeee.... not that I have much to show this week....I'm being thwarted by a miniature Viking....
I've just added my tidy work desk...shocking I know!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the desk, loads of cool things to play with! Funny how our own desks are a mess but other people's are so fascinating! Loving Wednesdays too! Thanks for sharing Lizx 142
ReplyDeleteLOL ! Yeah desk is a lot messy this week :o I am actually quite embarrassed by the state of it.
ReplyDeleteThe 'castle' is actually a wee wooden bird house and its adorable! I'm going to alter it for the print tray along with the wooden birds. Just need the time to make a start on it.

Good to see your desk covered up again! That's more like it!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes to the ATC swap! Sounds like fun!
Have a great week.

Your desk looks all disheveled like it enjoyed a lovely roll in the...tape gun. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour wood stamp corner, on the other hand, looks like it received some sort of wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am treatment! lol
I wonder how you will sort that out?! I'm always interested in how other people get organized...I left a few more details on how I do on my WOYWW post for this week.
And I forgot to comment last week! Where was my head? Thanks for hostessing us and I think some celebration is absolutely in order. I would love to do an atc swap...I have never participated in one! So I hope you post some detailed directions, I mean if everyone decides its a good idea and you go ahead with it, of course. #146~Deeyll
My daughter is always talking about her best buy, her ATC gun. May be it is time for me to get one of those - hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteI love it when your desk is messy! Mine usually is, but far too tidy at the moment. Michelle x
ReplyDeletethanks for the lovely comment, julia! and no, even i wouldn't suck day-old coffee off a brush lol!! xx
ReplyDeletelove your little easel how sweet! Liking the Union Jack paper! Another anniversary already? I would love to play but depends if we have moved by then, I am going to be super busy for the next month and a bit!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, Debxx
Ooops nearly forgot to leave you a comment! I love your corner shelving storage area - great way to display your stamps. When I'm crafting I usually listen to Radio 4 dramas or my favourite is Frank Skinner's podcast on Absolute Radio although that's only twice a week.

Don't know what happened but I think my comment just disappeared into the ether! I like the sound of the ATC swap, great way to celebrate by sharing some art , have a lovely week x
ReplyDeleteHi Julia! Are your eyeballs blurry by now? Do you say to Mr. Dunnit, "What the ... was I thinking?" Three years and you have an empire! We should definitely celebrate! I've never made an ATC before, so your suggestion makes my tic act up, but I'm game! Have a great week! #148
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure i did this correctly. I like the swap idea. Just he thing when i clear up and finish my final Ella project for the now.
ReplyDeletewow and look how woyww has grown.
ReplyDeletean ATC exchange sounds fun! Count me in!

oops after all that posting i was putting 113 i've just realised i'm 112! d'oh!!
ReplyDeleteLisa from a little of what you fancy...
Julia! I listen to BBC iPlayer too. Mostly while I work doing some sort of art thing...but also while doing dishes and basically everything. I cannot believe we have this resource at our fingertips; it's divine. I love the flags on your desk. I love the corner storage of your stamps. I prefer day shots of your desk. I miss the ladder outside. Have fun art friends. *smiles* Norma
ReplyDeleteMy first time here:) Hope I have done it right.

Would love to play in the anniversary ATC. Unfortunately I dont have a WOYWW this week to show, spent 2 days in hospital, one for hubby and one for me and too many followup MRI, etc etc to make anything on my desk look any different from last weeks. Didnt even take a photo.
ReplyDeleteHappy Week to you
Bridget missing WOYWW for the first time since I started playing sniff
Hi Julia, Just wondering how the ATC thing would work - how would we sort addresses (I don't have my e-mail on my blog so could be tricky) Also how would YOU get one too and when would be the deadline for the LAST person to submit be iyswim. I guess you did this all last year and these are simple queries to you but hope you'll explain all next week. Thanks BJ #12
ReplyDeletegreat looking desk as usual. love the stamp shelves, well done to Mr D for making them. JUst missed you by about 10 minutes this morning.... serves me right for going to work, better late than never. The ATC swop sound like a good idea. Maybe we could make giant ones ... like A4 size, just to be different.

Three years, and here I thought 150 WOYWWs was a big deal! :) Love all your boxes of ATG tape, I'm always afraid of running out. Your shelves are fantastic. Good thinking, putting them in the corner like that! #161
ReplyDeleteHi Julia I too likey your stamp storage shelves - I would like some like that!!! I must have been coming to play on Wednesdays for a year then. I was a newbie when you were marking the occasion a year ago so didn't join in. Love to join in this time. Only ever made two ATC's but willinging to have another go. Anne x
ReplyDeleteLate to the party today... with a good excuse. :O)
ReplyDeleteHad to rewrite my comment as I am now #133 - never mind it is my first time here!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Ali x
I like the ATC idea, but I intend to do a fabric one, so can you tell me what an ATC is?!! #99
ReplyDeleteGreat messy desk this week Julia!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the interesting stuff - the WOYWW ATC looks fab!
I also like that comedian Henning Wehn. Who knew Germans could be funny?! I didn't know he had a radio show - I'll have to listen out for it - thanks for that!
I think you need to get a hard hat for that corner! Ooo, now there's a thought - altered hard hat!
Happy WOYWW!

I LOVE that you buy two sheets of everything! I do the same thing!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to trade some ATC's! I am totally up for that!
Great desk this week Julia...Love the Union Jack papers! Not posting this week as still struggling along with DH's health. Just wanted to check in and leave you a comment though.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the ATC's...have to get my thinking cap on. I have never made one B4 but that is what google and Utube are for!
Hope to have hubby and life back on track for next week...hopefully will have a post by then!!!
My sincere apologies for missing WOYWW this week. I had to stop by to see if there were plans for Anniversary # 3, and I like the idea of an ATC. That way, each person knows what will be offered, rather than some outlandishly large and well crafted PIFs and some that were small but well crafted. Wise plan to limit the size.
ReplyDeleteA tornado hit my town, very close in fact. I know Vickie (Okienurse) said it hit a few streets from where she lived. I hope her clean-up was not as extensive as mine. I've spent the past two days cleaning and have a few more things to clean up before I can call this task complete.
I finally made it back! Can someone let me know if I got the verification thingy off? Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to post my first WOYWW on my blog. How fun!
ReplyDeleteNadia (#169)
Yessireeee to the ATC swap for the anniversary celebration! It is amazing how quick a stamp room can explode isn't it!!!???
ReplyDeleteLove your corner stamp shelves! And all the stamps on them!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do an ATC swap for the anniversary! And I think it is a fabulous idea!
xoxo Karen #172
I want a selection of scissors like yours! I think it's a great idea to do an atc swap - count me in for sure!! *smiles* ~Jen
ReplyDeleteOoh I'm very envious of your stamp filled corner shelves. Would love to take part in an ATC swap:)
ReplyDeleteOMG Julia what a total vegetable I am, am I suffering from senior moments already??? I don't know whether to laugh or cry?? have just realised I posted on an earlier WOYWW had my husband trying to figure out how someone could have put an earlier post on? Not only that but actually commented on lots on that post too!! Anyway, those stamps are a total disgrace but just how I like to see them used and loved is that a Dolly Mumma I see in the far top right? Is there one for my condition? anyway sorry about the war and peace post, great desk and yes lets celebrate, I really do need a stiff one!! oh er missus! Happy Crafting, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteI'm back again Julia! Thanks for your visit to my desk - you asked about the hand held Xyron runner. I've not had it very long and only bought it because it was being sold off really cheaply on Create and Craft TV. I only have the basic cartridge - with happy birthday etc, but so far so good. I really like how it works and prints - just need to perfect my lining up so I get the wording in the right place. I'd ideally like to get the customised cartridge, where I could write my own words, but don't know if that's still available.
ReplyDeleteMust just say - wow - to the number of participants - over 170 WOYWWers - what are you doing to us all - LOL :)
Thanks for the lovely comment, Julia! It's funny about my little stones - my hubby said they looked like Mint Imperials and I said he'd better not eat any or they'd do him a whole lot of no good! His mind tends to run on food... Hopefully they will no longer look like mints once they are on the project and painted lol!! Otherwise it'll be a case of eat your art out.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the zentangle. It did turn out very well, and i'm afraid my next efforts may not be so good... Plenty of ideas though!

Thanks for your visit this week, Julia. I have to say I have not yet been tempted to try one of the dogs' fishy treats, they do smell quite strong. As far as the rain is concerned, the idea that is is not good for the gardens because the ground is too dry for it to sink in, is a load of rubbish. Our ground is so wet that we cannot do any work on it again, and the dogs are coming back in covered with mud. Have a good week. xx Maggie #59
ReplyDeleteJulia, thanks for visiting my blog! And blurfing means blog surfing! Love to do that!
ReplyDeleteCarol #159
Thanks so much for answering my question! You are 5 hours ahead of me so I know to just join in when I wake up! And you are doing it fair for sure! There are so many awesome people here, there is room for everyone!!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to be sure I was doing it right.
Thank you so much for hosting this awesome party! And I love your blog too!

Hi Julia! Missed WOYWW for the first time since I joined! :^( My family went on a vacation to a remote spot in the Philippines! Great idea about the ATC to commemorate the anniversary! Patsy from

OMG - how rude of me - in my haste I never left a message - I knew there was something weird - you know when something isn't quite right but you don't know why... well, now I do and its rectified! Hello - what would we do without you Julia? Your desk is now so familiar to me - and so is that baskey of dirty stamps. It's just not the same without it being the focus of your wednesday post. You see, I wouldn't say that I was too fussy about things but I do clean my stamps after use. Maybe thats why I do a lot of digital designing...
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'd love to do what ever you choose to mark the 3rd anniversary. We need to consider postage costs - so whatever we can achieve without any or too many layers/height.
Love and hugs
Paula x x xx
The Union Jack paper is fabulous; can't wait to see what crafty road it takes you on. I love peaking through the windows at your work desk...so nice and green this week. Still waiting for all the snow to melt in my backyard.
ReplyDeletewow, that is a lot of stamps and at least you have a shelf to keep all of them in one area.
ReplyDeleteoh yes, i'm game for the WOYWW ATC swap. after all, ATCs started me on this whole blogging thing! happy WOYWW, Julia!
Hi Julia, hope you're well. After grabbing a few minutes on Wednesday to post, this is the first chance I've had to browse the desks...eek! Methinks I have much catching up to do...! And there's a couple of (small) pesky poems I need to wrangle before work on Monday too - however do we fit it all in, eh?! Thanks for popping by my Pen Pot - see you soon! Deb x
ReplyDeleteJulia, Thanks so much for the Welcome,visit and comment on my blog! I love your box of what looks like gems on your desk. To answer your question. The bubble on my desk is actually a glitter bouncy ball but in our scrap group we call them Bubbles. We have all different sizes and colors mine is Turquoisey my fav color. CARS is actually a club it the Chicago Area Rubber Stampers they meet at our local store.
ReplyDeleteMarnie
Julia, your visit as well as some others gave me something to focus on which I am thankful to have. Since I am so late in the game, I thought I would post another link to see the finished product that was started back in LA. Can't wait to see what you have planned for us on the THREE year anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteWow loving your stamp corner and even better it's a mess like mine lol, and liking your desk, lots too see, mind you not sure where you can work if it's worse after the project. Mind you I take that back, I can end up with such a small tiny place that even an ATC won't fit, but somehow while crafting we manage to do it lol. I'm chuffed that your doing something special again and an ATC sounds fab, I'm definitely in. I'm super late this week, happy woyww :-) Kezzy x
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to join in on the fun for weeks. I look forward to getting to know everyone and having some fun.
