I gathered from a few comments yesterday that the state of my desk was rather alarming - causing shortness of breath, palpitations and itchy teeth in some quarters. And there was a hint of challenge in some of the comments about seeing the 'after' photos....well, brace yourselves!
Y'all have Chrissie to thank for this. I made a long overdue phone call and whilst we chatted, I sorted. And then, whilst we chatted a little more I cleaned the stamps. And put them away. Chrissie is an interesting person and we had some catching up to do. And after we said our goodbyes, because I still had time, I started a card. And that is the story of Wednesday, after the WOYWW event. Standby for slightly more interesting posts. If I say so myself. But at least you won't have to catch your breath when you visit.
Bravo! Now that I could work on. Kate x
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love it! I do this as well. It's amazing how much you can accomplish during a phone call!!
ReplyDeleteJulia, your very brave, I bet you can't find a thing now. Lovely craftspace. Hugs Rita xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks great...I am going through mine yesterday, today and tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it means you and I will be creating this weekend.
Now that wasn't so hard was it!
ReplyDeleteWell done you.
Cheers,
Elaine
Brilliant job Julia, like Rita says, I bet you can't find a thing now - but it does look great! A x

What a transformation! If I didn't see those wonderful windows, I'd swear that was someone elses desk! Now just try and find something!
ReplyDeleteAll neat and tidy - now can you still find everything? x Jo
ReplyDeleteChrissie needs to ring you on a regular basis to keep your desk tidy! Looks cool! xx
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I call multi-tasking.... LOL..... I now have tidy envy.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteWow! Julia - your workdesk looks absolutely awesome! Wishing you a happy day today!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
No that looks much better, but how will you find anything now. When i've had a tidy up in the middle of projects i'm working on to give myself more space , i then can't find anything. Happy crafting jill
ReplyDeleteThank you Chrissy. Congratulations Julia it does look a million times better, now my heart is starting to beat normal again. Keep it up, friends are good for you. LOL
ReplyDeleteEliza
Wow Julia -- you multitasker! Talking on the phone AND picking up at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI'm still visiting WOYWW desks. You go girl!!
Hugs,
Kay
What a difference! You may not think it but I do like a tidy space - just need to have my stash close to hand!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper Duper Job Julia, bet you are proud of your achievements and ready to do more crafting now. BJ
ReplyDeleteWow, watch a difference a day makes :). Well done for sorting your desk :)
ReplyDeleteBig hugs xxx
Color this anal artist IMPRESSED!!
ReplyDeleteha ha ha = see we skype/facetime, so we carry on making a mess, no stopping one handed phone jobbies, perhaps it is time to get a new land line phone - nah - still won't tidy my desk....
ReplyDeletedxxx
Oh my goodness Julia, you could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw that picture of your desk! I've never seen it so...clean! Now hurry and go get it back to it's normal comfortable state!

See this is why we say we can multi task. All Men out there watch and learn.
ReplyDeleteQuite a contrast, not sure which one I prefer, bet it doesnt stay like that long

Oooo Julia. The cheeky so and so's! It is YOUR desk and YOU work at it! But it does look good and well done for multi-tasking!!
ReplyDeletexx
Feels great to start on a cleared space doesn't it. Perhaps I shopuld get on the phone when I need a tidy up!hehe!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment on my blog Julia.
Judy xx
Wow - maybe Chrissie should phone me! Now you'll be able to do lots of crafting with all that clear space.
ReplyDeleteBernice
Nooooo!!!! I was so impressed with your desk the way it was, as it made mine look tidy :( Now I'll have to think about cleaning mine,....... thought over, nah, it can stay that way. Maybe I need a long phone call :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your desk will be full again by next wednesday :)
Von.
Julia, Your desk looks amazing! I know how hard it is to keep it that way. I have the same problem. Always in a mess! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog for WOYWW and your kind encouragement. The dew drop pads are Memento inks and they stay in the containers they came in. those container make them much easier to store and the pad don't go all over the place.
I hope you will stop by my blog again. I will be having some giveaways and a blog candy coming up soon. Hugs Lori
Great space!! I can't talk on the phone and make a card at the same time!! lol You are talented!!! Thanks for coming by my desk and saying Hi!! I am going to start following you!!
ReplyDeleteHugs

OMG! I thought you had been burgled and all your crafting stash stolen!! But no, you just got the very infectious cleaning bug! Welcome to the infected club!!
ReplyDeleteKyla
Good grief, I hope Chrissie is on a local rate number ;-)
ReplyDeletehmm, blogger being a bit iffy. was just saying that crafting helps us multitask, especially if we are doing something more interesting than tidying.
ReplyDeletecaroline
A happy desk for starting again. I tried that this week too, but it didn't last long, I need to do it again LOL.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and thanks for your comment on my blog.
hugs {brenda} xox
Very tidy! Wish mine was... It is still in the same state it was two weeks ago. Maybe by Wednesday I will see the surface! Jenx
ReplyDeleteWell done you! Mine is like the 'before' picture. Though I have actually felt like tidying it lately I haven't had time - rather I've had more interesting things to do ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnne x
Well what a makeover!!! Don't you feel much better for it hahahah, trouble is when I do that I dont want to mess the craft area again.
ReplyDeleteJulia - in a word... "PHEW"!
ReplyDeleteBet you thought I was going to say something else - but seriously, thank goodness for Chrissie lol....
If you were on the phone to me, you'd have chance to redecorate too - perhaps that's why people text instead lol.
I must admit that I did raise my eyebrows because thats seriously the messiest i'd ever seen your desk in two and a half years (give or take a few weeks when I haven't joined in).
much love
Paula x x x
That looks much better :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love it! You inspire me! But wonder when I'll get this done... Probably not before Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteCarol N #116
The transformation is amazing. For a clean/organisation freak that I am, I could easily create in this space. Hugs! Cheers FiLoMa
ReplyDelete...and there was I thinking you were hanging onto my every word, when all the time this transformation was occurring!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gal!
Chrissie
