WOYWW 190

Well now, aren't I getting the hang of stuff.  Note at left of this blog there is now a heading marked 'Pages'.  Right now it has one page explaining WOYWW.  Soon it will have others which you can look at or not, as always, it's all about choice.  Well, actually, it's my blog so it's all about me, but I like to think that you think that I think I'm selfless. 


As you know, I have no shame.  Which is why I don't bother to tidy up before you visit.  But even I am a little shocked that I'm letting you see this...two empty coffee cups and a snack tray.  In my defence...this all occurred within Tuesday..the two mugs are because someone else made me a second coffee and I didn't think to say I already had a mug 'on the go'. For reals.  So I'm working on a Layout which will be part of a Scrapbooking session at Shopkeeper Gal's.  The new workshop schedule is peppered with my name.  Argh!  The most interesting thing is I think, the little blue box on top of the Layout.  It's waxed dental floss.  I was about to use it to lift off the stuck down photo on the left of the page.  A great tip from the Babymumma some years ago.  One I'm delighted to say that I haven't needed until today.  Argh again!   
So there we are.  Show us yours then.  Put WOYWW in your post title and link here. It's fun.  The word verification isn't though - I readily admit that I'm receiving regular spam because I don't use WV, but for me it's preferable to manage and delete it than to miss the chance of a response from a visitor.

    See, it's funny Julia. On YOUR desk my eyes go right to that beautiful scrapbook layout and I don't even notice your mugs and stuff until you point it out.

    On mine - all I SEE is the mess!

    Happy WOYWW to you!

    WOW..I'm first, no doubt will not happen again so soon. I first noticed the big spoon! I could use something refreshing before I'm off to dream.
    As those cups could have had usable things in them for crafting. Thanks for the tip with the dental floss, had a time I could have tried that.
    Happy WOYWW and enjoy the event.

    Oh Julia, I did a close in shot of my wild desk tonight...it is pretty bad! If I get something stuck in the wrong place, I heat the paper with my embossing gun. It works so so slick and never rips the papers...maybe heat from the back if it is a picture though!

    Well, the snacks look healthy, you'd find chocolate on my desk if I didn't eat it up so fast, lol Are you still enjoying all that lovely snow? I'll have to try that dental floss idea one day, sounds interesting!♥ waving hi from the chilly hills of North Carolina :)

  9. KatzElbows23 January 2013 at 06:06

    A snack tray? You mean to say that you eat sometimes? I'm shocked! The gorgeous layout totally distracted from everything else, so you really shouldn't draw our attention to these things! Besides, you're the one who encouraged us all to be shameless, so you have to be too,

    Hope you're staying warm and that you have a great Wednesday.

    Cheers,

    Never heard of the dental floss trick before - wish I'd known about it about seven hours ago - would have saved me from a lot of swearing, maybe *lol*
    It's great to be back (finally!) having a go at WOYWW - 39 weeks missed!
    Your desk, as always Julia, is productive and full of creativity - not messy :)

    Strange how we all see things different..... Your snack tray was healthy!!! I too found a coffee cup on mine this week, sadly it had been there for a while!
    I wish you had told us the tip about the dental wax LAST week when u go to my desk you will see why

    I have dental floss in my scrap drawer... used it once when I couldn't wait to go and buy book binding thread... let me tell you, that little book smells lovely as it was a minty fresh flavoured one!! ;)
    Two mugs huh... is my son related to you in any way? I pop my head into what was my second spare room and which has now become his study across from his bedroom (spare room number 1) and he always seems to have a collection of them on his desk!!

    Heard about the flossing but never done it myself, clever idea though.
    Lovely scrapbook page as well.
    Made a mess of my entry this week, tried to schedule it and got the time wrong and managed to change the date when I just altered it. For some reason it now shows as Sunday - it wasn't, honest, took the photo yesterday afternoon.

    I'm only laughing cos I get nagged for leaving cups all over the house half full of cold tea, half empty bowls of cereal, half eaten apples. And why is that ? It's because my mind is always buzzing with ideas and I wander off to my desk and forget to finish whatever I was doing before. You also see half or nearly started household chores as well. Think I need a cleaner. My friend once said "that duster and polish were on that table two weeks ago". Never mind craftings more interesting. A tidy house is the sign of a bored housewife haha

    Once again you've been busy Julia. Looks like you're working on some interesting projects. I was hanging about trying to be #1 (as I'm on holidays) but alas I had to go out to the shops and now find myself #38...still impressive!

    Thanks again for supporting us and I forgot to thank you for the WOYWW badge that you sent me last year...I will have to include it in next week's blurb.

    Hi Julia, the first thing I saw on your desk was the page - the corner detail on the page is really pretty. And if you hadn't mentioned the cups and snack tray, I wouldn't have noticed them at all :)

    The dental floss tip is one to keep in mind - I usually ease photos up - very gingerly, it has to be said - if I want to move them. The way I stick them down with just a little sticky, it works.

    I'm impressed at the new page thingy - I'm still at first base with blogger and likely to remain there for some time to come :)

    Have a great WOYWW (inside and keeping warm, I hope) Elizabeth x #40

    Hey I started looking at the scrapbooking page and thinking it was really pretty, then you blew it by saying something about coffee cups and being messy. For real I was not here for the messyness, I was still revelling over the snow outside from last week. Dental floss for the lifting of stuff hmm thats a good one, I used dental floss mini brushes for getting into the tight corners on chipboard to ink them, athey are like mini bottle brushes LOL they are great for your teeth too.

    Loved visiting today, but don't think i will get around to many starting to feel ill again being on the computer.

    bye for now stay warm and happy crafting.

    I'vebeen awol, on return I'd like to note that I love the new font and the background if perfectly you, I think I missed something about a June crop so I will be exploring the pages to find that, and having just been totally selfish and thoroughly enjoying it (trip to CHA with Jennie) I think self less ness is probably vastly over rated, indulge yourself Mrs D, and love every minute of it,

I ended up making cards whilst making hot chocolates, chips, pizzas and anything else required. Still they did play outside happily for hours and I managed to make 10 cards.

    Lovely page, like the papers. Can you e-mail me the latest workshop schedule, or get me added to Shopkeeper Gal's list?

    I see on the left you have managed some good impressions from those DoCrafts Michael Powell stamps. Any hot tips on that? I've found all the new 'urban' brand stamps to be a bit hit and miss on that.

    The way I see it you're in such a creative zone that you're practically living at your desk whilst whipping up paper, embellishments and photos into a frenzy of magnificent pages. The other people in the house are doing the feeding (of you) and the leaving of used mugs, not you! See how this works? You're not playing the game to your own advantage!

I use the forkey things (forgotten what they are called) so will have to buy some. Mind you, I don't tend to press down too hard until I am happy with the placement to save the bother!

    I don't think your desk looks too bad, I always have at least one cup on mine at all times, normally filled mind you!
    The floss tip is brilliant, must remember that one!

    Your page-in-progress looks really lovely -- gorgeous paper!! Hope the dental floss did the trick -- that's a good tip. And the card to the right looks bright and fun. Thanks for inviting us all to the party every Wednesday. :-) ~ Laura

    Oh - I like the tip about the floss -- and the snacks look great - I don't mind the coffee cup either, there is one on my workspace too -- in the afternoons, it is sometimes a glass of wine :)

    My eye went to the two beautiful stamped images on your ipad stand...Love the LO too. One can never have too much to drink at your desk either so why not accept the kind offer of a second mug? I know I would.

    I sometimes make a collection of cups and other things like that on my desk too. I do have a lot of Clarity stamps - I am addicted to them. I am gradually getting rid of all my rubber stamps in favour of the see through polymer type. I love looking round your desk, always plenty to really get into. Have a good week. xx Maggie #20

    Hello, no post from me yet - not feeling well today. Desk is bare & likely to stay that way. Wasn't at all well earlier so not long up & dressed! Wanted to pop by and say hello anyway. Will pop by some desks when I can, otherwise I'll get withdrawal symptoms! Take care Zo xx

    Hi Julia,

    You had me laughing here. The Pages heading sounds interesting. I really should do some research on blogger so I can advance.

    I notice the truck stamp on the card. That is one of my favorite stamp sets. Too bad about having use the dental floss on something other than your teeth! Neat trick though.

    Happy WOYWW

    Julia, thanks for letting me play again today. I think I'm braving this because your desk makes me feel so 'at home'. I took a shot of some specific things on my desk, so the clutter wouldn't be so visible. (I'm working on it!) Your desk looks very crafty, artsy & creative, and if I had a coffee cup on my desk, I'd have coffee spilled everywhere. You are a brave lady! Thanks for the look-see. It was most fun. Have a wonderful Wednesday. I hope I did the link bit right. Still struggling with html, google, 'fox and all those creatures ...trying to get pictures placed where I want 'em. Hugs

    That's a fab desk today, Julia! I can see your snow through the window, and it's okay to have two cups to warm you, altho I wouldn't necessarily have coffee in both, and I spy an adorable card with a pickup full of balloons, a wonderful layout in the making, and a container of probiotics to keep you healthy and hosting for years and years to come!!

    Your page layout looks wonderful. I hope you show the completed one. What a great idea for dental floss, I've never heard that. I've learned two things already today....I think it's time to go play before I forget what I've learned. Love looking at the snow outside your window. I'm just very happy it is your window... We've had very little snow this year. Touch wood, I am hoping to get through the rest of winter that way! Happy crafting!

    If you want to stop spam comments I disabled anonymous commenters on my blog and it worked a treat.

    Hi, Julia! Okay, the thing I said about the two blogs, it's because the #50, Julie--it links back to you, so in my WOYWW commenting blur, I confused that with a second site.

    (I actually made it through all the list, and commented except on a couple where I couldn't find the actual woyww post, and one where it said I didn't have permission to look at the blog!)

    Whew. Dead last this week. I'll try to make into the top 100 next week . . . ;)

    Thanks for your visit, Julia, and your good wishes. Yes, spoke guards duly completed and duly paraded around said craft show! I had loads of fabby comments about them. I'm now feeling slightly better after the experience but have had two really bad nights and felt lousy yesterday, but I'm not complaining because it was my own fault for over-indulging myself in the Fun Department! I'll soon be over it, and looking forward to going through all my purchases which are still all dumped in a heap on my ARTHaven floor! First job is to sort through the receipts and get over the bad news of how much I actually spent!!!
