What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 196


An explanation and 'how to' for WOYWW can be found here. Browse the other pages too, there's stuff about WOYWW4 and WOYWW The Crop. Go on, you want to know, even if you don't join in!


Wow...it's gone from being an 'unload and dump from crop' type desk to being a proper craft desk in the last 24 hours, and what you see there is preparation for a workshop on Thursday. You can't help but notice the 'bubble wrap' stamp...I used white Stazon on it and didn't clean it.  It's slutty, but the actual image hasn't been damaged, so I have a hard time feeling guilt over it.  Actually, I'm not sure why it's there, it doesn't feature on the card I'm preparing!  It was ever thus.  No ipad - charging elsewhere. Instead, the deckchair holds cards for future workshops and a scrap of paper with names on it. Naturally, because it's a scrap of paper,  It's important and I need it to be front and centre of my line of vision until I've dealt with it.  You understand.  
Show us what you're up to then won't you? It would be nice.  I'll try really hard not to delete the entire Link list and visit loads more than I managed over the last week.  You try to be patient with me and it should all work out.  Please put WOYWW in your post title and link here.  Job's a good 'un.

    morning Julia. won't the stamp clean off with stazon cleaner now? still, as you say, the stamping quality isn't affected. I like all the stars, wondering what happens next.... have a great day. Helen, 8ish!

    Stars are in my next few minutes. And yours have me wondering, I'm early but will be gone very early most of Wed and looks like icy roads. Huge snow drifts around the house. I popped by your kit post, great idea and pretty design. #3 this week. Have a good one. Happy WOYWW off to lala land.

    oooh! you are naughty - not cleaning your stamp!! hey, if the image is still clear, what the heck :) every week, i think i'll do an 'action' shot, then i lose my bottle and tidy up before taking it... yet i love seeing others' busy, messy desks... go figure!
    happy WOYWW, dear julia - the hostess with the mostest :)

    ah Julia just wandered in from doing the block walk necessary for health and then lo!! it was time to link up!
    .. so my day has been,etc. etc.

    at least made the right link today not like last week so easy to do it wrongly must download that linky cleaner-upper!! or invest in better set of brains

    .. no crafting but going to check out lots of craftiness .. did chuckle at your post again... "it was ever thus'..
    am sure it was ever thus here too.

    Super cute images on the left there too - near a pair of scissors of the orange variety.

    I am creeping in at the back of class hoping no one will notice me as I've been MIA for ages...! Sorry Julia, I just don't seem to be able to organise myself at the mo x

    Love the potential that those stars hold and as for being slutty I think it makes you just like me... And if that means I'm slutty too then I think we hold our heads high and tough it out! Strength in numbers!

    What is it with us and bits of paper we end up with so many bits and half have been actioned but still sit on our desk.

    Hi Julia
    We have similar uses of things on our desks. My iPad stand,which is really a wooden book holder, is used to hold notes, cards, bits of paper and anything that i think I might need that or I don't know where else to put.
    My scissors are in a basket along with jars of pencils and pens.
    Hope you have a good week with all your preparations

  23. Neet6 March 2013 at 07:23

    Lovin' that tidiness about your desk Julia. Didn't know there was a bubble wrap stamp so you are one up on me cleaned or not. (What the heck, doesn't matter, the "stars of stamping" don't waste time cleaning. Obviously I am not a "star" as I tend to clean although I must confess my "Happy Birthday" stamp is rarely cleaned.)Good idea to use the deck chair for cards and things you want to use and not lose.
    Happy WOYWW!

    Morning Julia, nice to see someone elses desk full of die-cuts and not mine for once. Why is it we always have things on our desk that we are not even using? ie your bubblewrap stamp, I did that last week with a bag of promarkers. Have a great day Hugs Mo x

    Isn't it fascinating how the state of our desks goes in waves of mess? Tidy, active, neglected and back again? There are very few can stay neat all the time. Lots of us are always crazy busy so end up in near chaos.
    No matter what your desk reflects your lifestyle and moods but you are always, without doubt, fun and cheerful!

    Afraid I'm obsessive about cleaning my stamps but then make up for it by throwing the cleaned ones into overstuffed boxes and denting the mounting foam.

    Hmmm, stars are a theme I haven't seen much of lately so I'm eager to see what you have planned for them. I'm sure it'll be fabulous! :) Thanks for hostessing us and look how early I am this week! Woohoo! I made it in before 100! :) But now its 3:25 in the a.m. here...just about my bedtime! Night owl, whooo? Me? :) Thanks again and I hope you get to have a good visit around and have a great workshop, too. My town doesn't have any workshops and I've been thinking about doing some at the one(1!) craft store we have...any advice?

    I do like the new look of your desk. You always look so organized. Don't feel bad about your stamp, I too have a bad habit of not cleaning my stamps. However, I seldom use Stazon and they usually clean right up when I finially decide to do a cleaning job. Have a great week!

    Have you tried a proper Staz-On ink remover? I fund it usually works fairly well when ink has been left on the stamp……might be worth a try if you’ve not already.

    Hi Julia, I know exactly what you mean about scraps of paper! Being a writer with a passion for notebooks and journals, you'd think I'd've graduated from random jottings...oh no. Ideas and snippets get written on scraps which then get tucked, stapled or paperclipped into said journal...and if they're really lucky, they get written up! Best wishes, Deb's Pen Pot # 100

    Well that's a fun stamp! Okay, don't tell, but I don't clean my stamps. Pretty much ever, unless what's dried on them is darker than the next stamp pad I want to use them on. Or if it's acrylic paint.

    So nope, don't feel guilty!

    The bubble stamp caught my eye right away. I've heard that Tim Holtz doesn't clean his stamps, so why should you? ;-) So sorry about adding my link to Mr. Linky twice, I really need a caffeine IV today.

    Whew, glad the Linky thing is working this week. I don't clean my stamps after taking Tim Holtz's Creative Chemistry class and they don't seem to have come to any harm! Great "working" desk! Happy WOYWW xxx Keren

    I'm glad to see someone else didn't clean her stamp right away. I am so very guilty of that. Your desk looks busy as usual...and that's a good thing! Have a crafty week!

    the bubble-wrap stamp is interesting. I wonder where you are going with all those stars. I would love a pound, (or should that be euro), for every piece of scrap paper in my room with a random phone number or message on it, but if you took away a pound for every one I cannot identify, I wouldn't have much left!

    Good afternoon, everyone. I've not been here in a very long time. But I'm trying to become more accountable so here I am. I can't set up my Mr LInky right now because my mail server is down :-( Hopefully by next week. Off to check out a few others while on break. Creative Blessings!

    how interesting that there is actually a bubble wrap stamp! i guess its would help crafters not keep all the bubble wrap they come across, just one stamp.

    Love the bubble wrap stamp! I love making stamps out of unusual things. I have a big giant tire tread stamp that I made out of a piece of truck tire that I picked off off the road! LOL! It makes a great background!

    Julia, with my DH I have to take care when boxes are around - he spills the tea, he will spill the coffee, no matter what is around him. His hands are so large. Thanks for commenting so funny.

    I started to leave a message yesterday, but the battery on the Kindle Fire died - I was still in bed at the time. Now back on pc power. I am waiting to see what you do with all those stars. It just shows how addicted we are to our Wednesday blog fix, we all went to pieces when our list vanished. It was very impressive to see that you managed to get it back intact though. Thank you for your visit and I am off now to get the bread out of the oven. Have a good week. xx Maggie #37

    I use 2 guillotines very easily Julia, one is very new and is very sharp but it seems to bend the cardstock so I use it for very thick cs and the other I use for daily use for other cs
