EDIT: Sorry about the early lack of linky,,,it WAS there, and then it wasn't!
Finally by staying up late and being uncharacteristically cross with the state of 'being behind', I've managed to reclaim my desk and drop onto it a couple things that I want/need to do in terms of craft. You see a new punch and a small stamp in a packet - a prize what I won! Colour me chuffed! And bunting and harlequin stamps (from The Artistic Stamper). I have a couple birthday cards to make and bunting is just not going to go out of style for me! Still got Tracey's oval dies, see? And the plastic bag has some bits and pieces in that Miss Dunnit bought for me..you know, emery board, lip balm, blah blah. So how did I achieve this state of readiness?
So what are you tackling this week? Got time to show us? Upload a pic to your blog..please. Put WOYWW in the title and link to that post here. Visit a few of the links...you'll be amazed, inspired, delighted, relieved. Yep, we're ALL human! See ya.
Hi Julia, Thats my job too, just about everything needs sorting out. We'll get there in the end though. TFS. Happy WOYWW 158. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are up late Julia. hahaha I love that your craft desk is versatile between the craft room and the dining table.
ReplyDeleteBridget # ??? when the linky goes up
Couldn't believe you had posted but sadly no Mr Linky. Best go read your mail now - LOL BJ
ReplyDelete...don't think I've seen your desk from this angle before, loVe the set of boarder stamps that look like their awaiting your attention...Mel :)
ReplyDeleteOK.... so its the first time I do woyww for ages and there is no Mr Linky!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Annette. I thought I was dreaming when no one else mentioned it! No linky for me, either.
ReplyDeleteDitto. I haz a sad. I was hoping to not be number 4353456 this time. :(
ReplyDeleteShove it all around and aside as much you want to and enjoy creating... your table awaits! Bunting can't EVER go out of fashion if your British either and the ribbons are at least staying put with that pile on top so no worries. Sorted!
ReplyDeleteI thought -- oh, boy, the post is up! I'll be in the front row! But no. ha, ha Mr. Linky will wake up from his nap while I'm sleeping and I'll be around 100 as usual. *grin*
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the look of those banner stamps -- can't wait to see how you use them. Happy WOYWW!
Love the angle of your desk this week.... no mr linky as yet... love the ribbon jar.... Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteIt's 2 in the morning...have a happy WOYWW< you desk is looking very inviting, mine's messy again, even though I tidy=ied it up..zzzz Bunting stamps, that's a good idea, it does take ages cutting them all out...(oohoo pins and needles in leg!) Been to Geurnsey today...nice bracelett shop..but didn't find anything crafty...happy days
ReplyDelete(Lyn) Ummm? I'll come back later and ZzzZZZ get my number....
I will miss you this week as we are visiting our grands but have to say how much I love those beautiful dies on your nice neat desk!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, I got in early, but no mr. linky. I love your desk from that angle. I will be back later.
ReplyDeleteNice to see a different angle and always nice to see new goodies, those are brilliant stamps too. At least you're brave and showing us what's on the left... I'm not! I was so happy to see you posting early again, but it's not to be by the time I link up tomorrow, lol! Never mind, it's the thought that matters, right!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Brenda
Well you caught me out this morning...just back from my walk that there you are but Mr Linky appears to be snoozing ;D
ReplyDeleteI always wish I could rummage through your desk...it always looks so crammed jam full of interesting things.
Happy WOYWW ~ enjoy! x
Love the new angle on the desk, Julia, and I love those new border stamps! Really cool.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you posting in the small hours again - suits me much better - but disappointing that there's no Mr. Linky, which means I shall be way down the list again by the time I get to it to check whether Mr. L. is there in the morning! My WOYWW blog post is uploaded, though, if anyone wants to visit.
Also, I am up for swapping ATCs with anyone who wants to - I'm really sorry to have missed the official swap, especially when I see the quality of the ATCs which have been flying back and forth!
Shoshi
Awesome desk Julia - lots of crafty deliciousness - of course, with no linky in sight, you'll have everyone circling your site all night!
ReplyDeleteToday's post is a Mister Naughty Pants adventure. See what mischief he gets into when he ventures into Mom's latest workspace...
Have a great day and as to my nunber - it's a MYSTERY! tee hee

This week I am tackling sewing and sorrow.
ReplyDeleteMM Julia so know what you mean about reclaiming your desk! go away office work! not that i have that but do have other things taking my crafting time much to my reluctance.. nad yes the crafting looks like it will be fun too
ReplyDeleteI am smiling too cos WOYWW goes on whether Mr. Linky goes to the part y or no.. lets have fun without him!! Happy WOYWW everyone!! Shaz in oz.x
#about number 20 in comments :D
Mr. Linky must be lost in the jar of ribbons!
ReplyDeleteYour desk is looking very organised today! But I'm worried about all that stuff on top of the ribbon jar. (And do you have a matching button jar?)
ReplyDeleteRosA
I just finished writing my post and thought I'd check to see if your WOYWW post was up yet! YES..... it's here - maybe I'll be in the double digits -- oh, but where's Mr. Linky.... drats, I'll probably be in the triple digits again!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kay
I found you via Peggy- looks like fun and I love peeking at everyone else's desks!
ReplyDeleteOrganised and ready to play I see. The ribbon jar looks like it's ready to go to the fete..... guess how many ribbons in the jar and win a prize! Well; the cat wakes me up nice and early so I come downstairs to post and no Mr Linky!
ReplyDeleteNeil at http://neelzexpressionz.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/woyww-158.html
I don't see the link..
ReplyDeleteWhere is Mr Linky. Better go to bed. See you in the morning
ReplyDeleteah heck, cleaning up is highly over rated anyway!! lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteLovin' your desk! Maybe if I check back at 11 p.m. my time Mr. Linky will be up?
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
Lisa
Oh heck - no Mr Linky - and already 29 comments. Guess I could be anywhere when he gets up.
ReplyDeleteAh well, nice desk - glad you reclaimed it.
Hugs, Neet (http://hickydorums.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/woyww-158-some-atcs.html)
uhm....now I see what Elizabeth meant by your ATG gun.....interesting.....lmao! waving again from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteIf I meet Mr. Linky in my dreams I'll send him your way. Much needed sleep at this end and a list a mile long of "MUST DO" jobs by Thursday PM. I would love to have your clean work space right now..great colors there and some unique dies. Happy WOYWW and enjoy the week.
ReplyDeleteSomething woke me at 5am and here I am - ready to link but no link! I'll come back later...
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW Julia, lots of delightful loot! I'll be back for Mr. Linky. http://artstudio33.blogspot.com/2012/06/whats-on-your-workdesk-wednesday-woyww.html Robin
ReplyDeleteooh your desk is almost as tidy as mine, and I spy with my little eye....LOL So glad you like them enough to use :)) makes me smile lots
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and will be back when Mr Linky has woken up!
xx
Bunting go out of fashion? Never, I still have mine up at home and it is staying there until after the Olympics. Love your desk this week, tee hee. Still no Mr. Linky.... A x
ReplyDeleteReally, you need to explore the satellite table. So useful. I could use a whole galaxy of them most days.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am with you on the bunting ...
Mary Anne
Seems a few of us are having trouble locating Mr Linky, he's absent for me too.
ReplyDeleteWill leave it awhile then have another look for him!
Cheers,
Elaine
love the look of the stamps on you desk, some great bunting! fun to be had there!happy woyww , back later to see if mr linky is around.hugs trace x
ReplyDeleteHa! Swing to the Left...sounds like a crafters dance to me Mrs Dunnit! LOL! Not much craftiness for me this week but there is some yumminess over at my blog! You can see it Here.
ReplyDeleteI'm here, but sadly Mr Linky is not.....
ReplyDeleteI did a late one too and now an early one but no linky boo!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Joanne xx
Your desk reminds me of mine, just a lot neater! LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW Where has mr. Linky gone??
I love a crammed desk. It just begs to be rooted through!
ReplyDeleteHappy woyww
Zoe
Loving the dies, loving the almost tidy desk more.
ReplyDeleteWake up my linky:
http://toodlesandbinks.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/blog-post.html
and theres me thinking i was late but looks like my linky is even later lol
ReplyDeleteplease,please,can i sort your ribbons :)
have a fabby week,x
Hi Julia, As well as no Mr Linky for you, I keep getting an error message when I try to log on. Don't know if I will be able to do much visiting until the error goes away. Managed to get on now but don't know for how long.
ReplyDeleteSorry all if I don't get to you.
Von
well, your desk looks busy this week, just like mine(and that's not so often). Have a happy WOYWW and hope you visit my desk :-)
ReplyDeleteBye, Franka-SeasideArt
Morning Julia Great balancing act of papers on ribbons! Is it like reverse Jenga. How many papers can you add until they slide to the right! Happy WOYWW to you.
ReplyDeleteLove it, that's my ideal of tidying! Too early for Mr Linky then!
ReplyDeleteKyla
your desk looks so organised and tidy this week! love those bunting stamps! I am also up late but no managing any creating, have just finished cleaning up for visitors coming tomorrow! debxx
ReplyDeleteStamps look good Julia and it is always a good feeling to get a little win. If work and play are competing for space then get Mr D to build you an outside office (otherwise known as a shed).
ReplyDeleteAnn B
Sorry to see Mr Linky is poorly, lol, hope he gets better soon! Lovely to see all your ATCs the other day by the way, looking forward to mine rolling in as well :)
ReplyDeleteHelen S
Just wondering - many of the hotlinked names here go to a Gravatar page rather than the blog address. Is that an automatic thing with the new "improved" blogger? When Mr Linky goes on holiday it's really hard to use the list to visit if the link doesn't go to the blog. I get this too with comments sometimes, the linked Site info isn't the blog, just the profile page :( Or is it a conscious choice by people to link to something other than the actual blog address? and if so WHY?
ReplyDelete:)
Just askin'....
Mary Anne
Hello there...did you clean Mr linky off your desk while you swept everything to one side or hide him under the jar of ribbons? No matter, cos us WOYWWers carry on regardless. Love that about this community! Here is my blog link: http://bellasscrappinspace.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWell, that's irony for you. I thought I was pulling a fast one by linking up on Tuesday night here in California, but it didn't work out! It's 11 p.m. and I'm off to bed. I'll be back tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHa - just when I am up early too - WOT NO LINKY? (See my post) x Jo
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one with a "productive" looking desk(sounds better than messy). As there is no linky ill pop back later,
ReplyDeleteRebecca x
http://mellymoopapercrafting.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/woyww_13.html
Morning Julia . . . . Happy WOYWW. Will link up my desk when Mr Linky wakes up! LOL! x
ReplyDeleteGood grief, I'm No 1!!! Yay *happy dance* Love the pushed back stuff - does it go all the way under your desk and come back up the other side...?
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ N0 1!! woohoo xx
I've been up loads of times in the night for "female" requirements and checked for Mr Linky to no avail but just refreshed the page and Woh Ho he's there. YIPPEE
ReplyDeleteLoving the ribbon jar - BJ#8
this is a busy, creative desk, i reckon! and i'm glad to see i'm not the only one with precarious-looking piles teetering on the edge :) i guess mr linky is on holiday.... maybe in poland enjoying the footie :) xx
ReplyDeletehttp://decide-what-you-want.blogspot.co.uk/
I was looking at your piles teetering too, I think mine are worse.... but maybe I'm just dreaming
ReplyDeleteI was #30....bet I'm not now!
(Lyn)
It never ceases to amaze me that you have already got 62 comments this morning and it's only 8.30 (that's 7.30 in your money!).
ReplyDeleteI just love the stack of unsorted papers. I guess we've nearly all got one of those.
I will make a huge effort to post my desk this week. Where do the days go?
Enjoy your day.
Kate x
The push back method seems to be a universal action and is featured on so many desks each week that I now think its quite norm :-) have a good day xx
ReplyDeleteAah, Mr Linky was missing!! That explains why I am nearer the beginning than usual!! Blogger is playing me up today as well - for some reason my page displays a strange band across the top effectively covering all my navigation buttons. Had to think real hard (it's early for me) to discover how to log in another way. Love bunting, in fact going to put up even more at work today, and although I lpve ribbon too, ribbon storage is the bane of my life. Blooming stuff gets everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!!
Cindy x
As you will see on Jo's blog today....I've been trying to find my mojo this week :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
A x
Mmm my ribbons do that too Julia. Glad to see I'm not the only one fighting the growing stash! Nice tidy desk today and it's always nice to win something crafty.
ReplyDeleteHugs Erika.
I am slowly sorting through my messy desk but about the time I think I have it whipped in shape some gremlin comes along and reclaims it...I persevere! Have a great week. Vickie #42
ReplyDeleteHowdy,
ReplyDeleteYour desk is so neat today!!!
Since I last visited I've been working on a scrapbook/smash book/art journal for Father's Day and tutorial.
Would love for you to stop by when you have a moment or 2!
Peace,

Morning Julia - wow you do look ready for action, loving the sweep to the left pile, I haven't got that luxury, it would end up on the floor, hmmm do I need a bigger desk then do you think?! Feel like I'm missing out there. My idea of being organised and laying out the toppers I need is backfiring on me this morning the sun is now streaming in a reflecting of the foiling on the toppers, almost blinding me as I type! Right coffee time, take care my lovely. Zo xx 55
ReplyDeleteThanks to Blogger (UGH!!!) I'm rather late again today! I WAS ready to go earlier though, lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday everyone!!!
Hi Julia love the look of those stamps I might have to invest in those. That is a massive vase of ribbons at least you can see wht you've got! have a good day, Toni x61
ReplyDeleteWell I was impressed with the tidyness of your desk until I saw that vase of ribbon ;)!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW xx
My first visit to WOYWW. Came here from Marie Rayner's blog, Designs from the Heart, where she had posted a link. When I saw the photo of your desk, I chuckled. I got up at 2:00 a.m. this morning thinking i needed to go down to my drawing room and purge it completely because it has become a sort of storage room instead of a workroom. And I want my workroom back! All that clutter has stopped me and blocked me! I can't think of what I want to do because of the disorder. So your posting has given me an idea. I'll post what I'm doing and link to your page. Maybe it will help me find my muse once more. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, I have been lusting after those bunting stamps for quite some time now...think I will have to give in to my desires...and blame you!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteYay Mr Linky appeared. Gratz on the competition win.. Love your big gun i so need to look into getting one of those. Have a good week. Sandy :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are on a roll I hope you get everything done that you want too.
ReplyDeleteNice of Mr D to purchase you some emery boards and lip balm, gosh mine wouldn't do that, he wouldn't know where or what I liked. LOL
Have a great crafting week

I'm certainly relieved to see your ribbons. I opened my box of ribbons today to pull out one piece for a present, the whole lot come out in one clumpy tangle! Aaargh!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day Julia :)
I’m glad to hear that you’re getting back to some state of normality Julia, I wish I was.
ReplyDeletehappy Crafting!
Sue

It's me again... I posted a link to this blogpost with a photo on my Pinterest Board, in the category, Artists Studios... do you mind? If so, let me know and I"ll delete it, but it's given me an idea of what to do in my own workroom today! Love the post today, Julia!
ReplyDeleteBTW, here are the links to my pinterest board where I posted the photo link to your blog, if you would like to check it out:

Ooops - sorry Julia, just got up and entered myself on Mr. Linky at No.73, and then found I'd already been entered, at No. 15!! Is there any way you can remove me from No. 73? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteShoshi
It's so lovely to be back amongst you all. I've missed my weekly dose of WOYWW.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking in a wonderful state of readiness there, Julia.
I love the jar of ribbons, they look much better like than that.
Hugs Lisax #74
Morning everyone, I'm baack,lol. Good to be taking part again, Shaz #75
ReplyDeleteWho needs a dining table anyway?! ;) Crafting is much more important than eating...
ReplyDeleteLaura 78
you do need your space, it keeps one sane ( ish)
ReplyDeleteglad you are back and restoring yourself to usual default position in the human scale of things...
dxxx
Your space looks well organised today, Julia (never mind what lurks to the side etc) - as for the ribbons, you might well notice a couple of my boxes that need sorting ... there's always something. x
ReplyDeleteooooh I love those bunting stamps!!! I'm part way through sorting my ribbons! pain in the ass!! your desk is lovely and tidy ;o) x April #80
ReplyDeleteOh, I know how you feel. I've just posted the grumpiest post ever! I hate myself for being so ridiculously messy! However, instead of staying grumpy and annoyed I'm going to be inspired by you and tidy. Maybe!
ReplyDeletecheers,
rachel
Your desk is always so full of inspiration and obviously your winnings confirms the greatness. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteSandra @ 85
Lol, swing and push back! Could be good for the wasteline if nothing else!!
ReplyDelete** Kate **
You will notice that I very cleverly NEVER show the left hand side of my desk!!! lol...yup! That the 'pile it high' place lol...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the gorgeous ATC with the badge!! Love it!! :D
Take care
Jackie (off to tidy up her crafty space now) lol
Hello from the lovely Cumbrian lake district. I didn't think I woul be able to get a signal to link up but hey here I am.
ReplyDeleteHope you are back to normal soon Julia. I will have to do my desk zooming when we get home from holiday as I keep losing connection. Have a good week. Off to Kendal today.
Lynn xx
I just LOVE the bunting stamps - what a great idea - and I agree with you, bunting will never go out of style with me either. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week.
hehehe - if I pointed the camera behind me in my workroom, you would see pretty much the same scenario, in fact you'd have a job turning around at all! Mind you, funnily enough I DID finally sort out my ribbons drawer this week - I don't know what came over me! Have a FABulous WOYWW :)
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day, we are all human. My space dictates that I be pretty tidy. But I have to tell you every flat surface in my room has something on it. That is what we do. Crafters are all alike at heart.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW. So many comments that I haven't got time to read them all now - don't know how you cope! I am dreaming of having my craft room sorted out properly and being free to just craft! Watching Ideal World and C&C, and keeping my credit card safely hidden, as I don't need any more stash (although the Graphics 45 show is tempting me a lot). Ali x #84
ReplyDeleteI would love to tip out that jar of ribbons, no, not to sort them, just to play with them.. I don't see the point of sorting them, if they were all neat and tidy I wouldn't want to use them;o)
ReplyDeleteSheilagh 99...and feeling it!!
Hi Julia, I do singe some edges, but then I just cut them off and keep on going.Sometimes I am left with very small circles!!No matter, they then become the centres.
ReplyDeleteJudy#22
We all do what we have to do to get to that work space, right? :) I wondered what was in that jar, looks sort of like a prize you might win at a carnival! Ha!! #101 this week, missed it by that much!
ReplyDeleteLove that bunting stamp- I'm into buntings now that I've seen all the beautiful decorations everywhere in the UK for the Jubilee celebrations.
ReplyDeleteHad so much fun receiving the ATC from fellow WOYWW ers, so glad you organized that. Barb

ReplyDeleteOMG, I'm #40! THANK YOU, Julia! You can delete me from #104. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Julia - snigger, loads of comments generated by Mr Linky going AWOL. That shook 'em up a bit! Di xx
ReplyDeletePaper scraps breed! I mean it I spend more time sorting bits of paper that I don't even recognize, those solids get in there with those prints and the next thing you know there are dots and strips that you don't know! I bet ribbon does the same thing and that's why we can't ever get it under control!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, when you see my desk you will know EXACTLY what I will be tackling later this week! LOL! Yours looks great! Loving those stamps!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia!
ReplyDeleteYour space looks positively clean!! Sometimes we all have to make that pile that we will get to later, to make space to craft again!! And if you are anything like me, you won't ever get to that pile until you need something from it!! LOL
xxDaniella
Your desk seems pretty organized and neat at the moment! Those dies look fascinating! And as to paper, I got a large order in for a group of gals and my freezer was totally covered. What a hoot getting that sorted!
ReplyDeleteCarol #119
Ooh, never knew I needed bunting stamps until now... will have to visit Artistic Stamper. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
Cheers,
Susan
I love buntings, I ahve never made one but love them,
ReplyDeletethats my way of tidying!! Love your desk, thankyou for hosting again this week,
Yay! Hello Mr. Linky!! hee hee Yep, triple digits for me.
ReplyDeleteI bet you got more comments on this post....... haaaa
Hugs,
Kay

Sorry to rush through... I shall be back tonight/tomorrow to catch up on the desks. Thanks for hosting!!
ReplyDeleteAnthea
Oh that Mr. Linky....he's being quite a little stinky! Ok that's it, and now you know, I'm not a poet and now you all know it! Very busy desk Missy....it's so hot here right now, I'm hoping to stay inside and get some organizing done....Note...I said hoping to. I am easily distracted!
ReplyDeleteReally was early this time and Linky was at the pub!
ReplyDeleteThat's whah happened to me. My craft space filled up one too many rooms, and that's when i got rid of my entire dining room!!!!
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful week!
I like your crafty little space. So many goodies all around! Thank you for having such a fun blog!
ReplyDeleteI like your system! Sadly it wouldn't work on my kitchen table, we'd never eat again!
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos! Your system is uniquely Julia! You do what you have to do, right! Thank you again for starting this lovely Wednesday share - so much fun! Wishing you a happy day and some time at your orderly workdesk to create!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
Congrats on your prize!
ReplyDeleteI know I am always completely shocked when I win something :)
Love those stamps I see.
And I have to say, I tend to do that as well. Move piles around. In fact I have a closet full of those piles that really needs cleaning out :)
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving such a wonderful comment! I am honored! I'm thinking I'm comfortable enough to post a more "realistic" photo of my craft room! I'm not as neat as it appears!
ReplyDeleteLucky you, winning a prize ( I never win anything so I am deeply jealous)!
ReplyDeleteGlad you reclaimed your craft space - some things just have to be done.
I'm notorious for piling things in another area (to be gotten to later) so I'll have room on my desk to work. Yours looks very tidy. And I love the bunting stamps!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say 'Hi'. I'm joining you for the first time this week. Looking forward to having a look around very soon :)
ReplyDeletePush and shove cleaning ... my favorite kind! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm late this week Julia, I hope I don't get forgotten right at the end! There is just never enough hours in the day is there?! That's not just ribbon in that there jar is there? I have a box which ends up with a name on it i.e. "ribbon box", but if I'm having a whirlwind of inspiration everything on my work desk just gets side swiped into the "ribbon box" and I deal with it later! I have many "ribbon boxes"! Michelle xx
ReplyDeleteOf course you need your craft space, who doesn't????!!??
ReplyDeleteWell what do you know, I made it on time this week--at least here in the States!
Tackling another hand bound book, this one with monoprint pages!
:)
I learned the "push back method" from you! HA! Works quite efficiently!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back!
hugs!
kat
A different view and very neat too.I have nowhere to push back to.LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday
carol
The pile up and push to the side method--always a fan favorite! I personally like the pile on the floor method too. Using the floor does also encourage me to pick it up again because one cannot trust those evil cats (is that redundant? does not everyone know that all cats are evil?) Fun bunting stamps and a new punch to play with.
ReplyDeleteSave sorting out until the housework is done, ironing all done and put away, house cleaned top to bottom, wallpapering done, dog washed and the pigs are a-flying!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope Tracey gets her dies back!! LOL! Thank you once again for sponsoring me Honey. It was a lovely surprise and worthwhile cause! xxx
I was almost ready to push everything in my desk, but believe it or not, I manage to clean up... a little. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for another WOYWW!
have a great day!
Nora
Happy woyww. Hope everything is ok in Turkey now.I see you have the same stacking style that I use myself. have a crafty week. mark x
ReplyDeleteVery tidy....real work does not belong in crafty spaces; it does nasty things to the mojo fairy, bullies the Muse, an is generally a bad seed. So good for you for reclaiming your space!
ReplyDeleteBy coincidence I sorted out a stack of craft papers and scraps last night, now have them cut into sizes suitable for mounting photos on, covering the front of cards, 12" strips for scrapbooking and then smaller bits for punches and tags etc. However, the ongoing saga of the ribbon storage, well I'm with you on that one, they are all still in a tin which I sorted out a while ago, but all those odd bits (you know, the ones cut from clothes and labels etc, well how do you organise them?!) Thanks for sharing, glad you got your craft space back. Marie
ReplyDeleteHurray my first post. I'm off to gawk at other desks now :D
ReplyDeleteI love seeing folk tidy up by moving stuff to somewhere else LOL my problem is I'm running out of places to move stuff to.
ReplyDeleteToni xx
Hi Julie..the pagaent on the Thames has brought the bunting in to fashion for the next 60 years!!
ReplyDeleteAs for the ribbons ..I have a bag just next to me for the ribbon scraps..i go there first...and you know what it must be blessed...it just gets fuller and fuller!! keep well ...and please give me your addie...i have an ATC for you.
have fun crafting on your reclaimed desk. Blessings to you from Angela
ReplyDeleteOh yeah Julia love the filing system you have. It works well I see. *smiles* Norma
ReplyDeleteHee hee, I thought to myself "WOW Julia's desk looks very organized today!!" And then I saw the picture of the teetering pile of papers atop the ribbon jar and realized there was a price to pay for that organized look. Always interesting anyways!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Karen
Looks like my kinda tidying Julia - I have a few of those wee piles of stuff in my study!
ReplyDeleteBernice (67)
Well, you know when the overflow goes to the dining table, it's definitely time to sort something. I feel your pain--my "studio" is a corner of the master bedroom, and I keep things in pretty boxes and those plastic scrapbook containers--but heaven forbid I have multiple projects going and things get out of place...then it's hello dining table! Happy WOYWW! Sandy #170 (I think--I'm way down this time! But happy to be here!)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time linking. Hopefully now I've started you will see more of me!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I had to have a "real" clean-up earlier this week myself, the push and sweep method would have left everything in the floor and no room for me to walk! lol
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll get up to some more fun before the day is over and update my blog with some new *creative* pictures! :) I love your stamp set from artistic stamper...I'm going to try to see if I can make my own pennant stamp set this evening...its getting too expensive to keep buying these things! :)
Oooh Julia I'm thrilled you want to swap ATCs with me! An ATC from our own lovely Julia, Queen of the WOYWW realm!! I'll email you my address. Thanks for adding me to Mr. Linky. I am at No. 15, but I see I am still at No. 73 as well, from when I joined without realising you'd already linked me. If you could remove the No. 73 link it might save people getting confused!
ReplyDeleteYes, Cindy's card is amazing, isn't it. I am so thrilled with it, and the little bag of goodies she sent me!! Glad you like my coloured zentangles, too. I'm having a lot of fun with them.
Happy belated WOYWW,

Congratulations on winning some crafty stuff! Love those banner stamps. As something on an expert on stacking, I must complement you on putting the pile on the ribbon jar, high enough so it shouldn't be casually brushed off, solid foundation, etc. :D. Happy WOYWW! #111
ReplyDeleteI'm late...but here ....and just to show you my ATC really..... because there is not much 'cept boxes on and around my desk....
ReplyDeleteI think your should totally time yourself when you start to tackle your jar of ribbons to see how long it takes you to get them sorted...hours...days...weeks?!?! Hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking a peek at my spot! Happy WOYWW! (on Thursday! Or is it even Friday for you by now??)

I just received my WOYWW button and anniversary ATC and they are both brilliant! To put it British-ly. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first ever received ATC and now I understand why they sell ATC display thingies...its absolutely display-worthy! :) Thank you dear Julia for being such a gracious and generous hostess week after week...
cheers,

Sorry to be sooo late posting this. I was working on it on Wednesday, though! I forgot all about WOYWW until I went to Jennibellie's site today.
ReplyDeletelooks like som fun projects await you!
ReplyDeleteWOO, Julia... I am SOOOO honoured that you came back!!! Is it unheard of that you post a reply TWICE on one WOYWW??? Anyway, thanks for your 1) encouraging and very supportive comments each time and 2) your specific comment about my hanging and my work in general... I am thrilled because I value your opinion. I just wonder why I don't make places on DTs when I can such good stuff (big headed too!!!) Anyway. Thanks a bunch again
