What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 200

Read all about WOYWW here and the Anniversary ATC swap thingy - HERE

Meanwhile, there's a stunning return to form at my place.  The sewing hasn't been put away, the Smash stuff has been moved aside and the preps for Thursday's workshop have been ignored.  I'm on a deadline!

It's disappointing if you're one of our neat freaks I know, but please, I was in the middle of making a card.  Yep.  Just the one!  Apart from the stamp at right, I've used everything you can see here on the card...well, sort of. The flowers you can see are the discards - and yes, they will be going in the bin.  I do not have room to save or capacity to remember where I saved them for next time!  Trusty iPad on duty, I was listening to a play on Radio 4.  There'snot been much on recently, I may have to break down and buy something to listen to soon.  Oh lord, another lesson in downloading and the Cloud, I can feel it!

Share your working surface will ya?  We like to see what you're doing and what you've got.  And frankly, how much tidier and sensible you are than we. Me.
Put WOYWW in your post title, link it here and we'll trot round for a visit. And a rummage.

  1. Happy WOYWW Julia! I know you have now cleaned it up for your current project - but I saw that Smash stuff when I was on my spree last week and fell in love with it - can't wait to see what you do with it!

    I also love the card in the prior post and hope you will share it at Inspire Me Monday!

    Have a happy WOYWW week!

  15. Bin??.....I apologise in advance for the inky fingerprints I may leave as I scrabble through!

    Congratulations on the 200th, ATC's are a great way to use up scraps! :)
    As to something to listen to, I use free spotify....yes you do have a few adverts but tons of music and also itunes for podcasts (everything from 'Desert Island Discs' to 'Answer me This '...trust me, Google it!)

  16. I am always amazed at all the stuff that can get out on my desk AND how quickly it gets there. So totally understand about things going in the bin - it's quite freeing when I realized I didn't have to save every little thing. I mean who has the room? Happy 200th. That's a pretty good record if you ask me!!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oops. Forgot to say I'm 29 this week.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I can never be described as a neat freak so your desk looks pretty ok to me!! I mis-numbered my post today - I must have scrolled down my list too far to check back for last week's number!! Oh well... gives me an extra week to make my atc... not! Have a great day. Helen, 4

  19. Hi Julia
    Congratulations on 200 WOYWW! I am relatively new to this and I have so enjoyed visiting the desks of all your amazing and creative friends. Your desk looks creative and fun, I've not heard of Smash products before. I'll go and google!!!

  20. Hi Julia
    Gosh I feel real important being part of #200 congrats to you for keeping this going.
    Now your desk, just how big and how heavy is this card you were making? That is a lot of stuff you have used on it
    Enjoy your WOYWW sunny day today

  23. Morning Julia, Wow number 200 congratulations!. I can feel a few people wincing at the thought of flowers and cut outs going in the bin, but I am with you on that one, I have the space, but if I kept everything you find you cant move for stuff. As soon as I got a glimpse of that coaster it made me smile:) Hugs Mo x

  24. Hi Julia you don't look 200! I sure feel it sometimes!! I do have a box on my desk for all those little bits that you've produced but didn't use- they may come in handy.....won't they???

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hey, Julia! I'm not playing coz I'm working the next few days and won't be able to make flavorful visits, but I had to stop in and congratulate you on 200 WOYWWs!! I was hoping to see a photo of you with a big feather in your cap ~ you deserve one!!

    Mwah! Here's to 200 more!! Darnell

    ReplyDelete
  26. You know I am improving on throwing things in the bin but I still have a way to go for it to have an affect on my "creative clutter"! I woke up to go to the bathroom for it is wee hour here. Sorry for briefness. Would those be some Copics on your desk? Have you been holding out on me darling? The color of the ink pad is dreamy. Well I must go bAck to sleep so I can wake on time to get the boys to school.

    Have a blessed day girlfriend!

  27. Actually, it looks a bit tidier this week, lol! Then again, you only showed a bit of the whole desk....and where's the card?? Hiding it until it's received???

    Loved your Smash post!! Very inspiring for my new journal, so thank you!

  30. Julia,

    A desk full of creative life and joys of being creative, good for you. Dont be afraid of icloud it is wonderful I use it all the time. I especially love my dropbox, a real life saver.

    Hop on over and check out the picture of yoda eating icecream.

    Happy WOYWW

  32. With the new Google + we now really have to put our numbers at the end of our comments as it is nearly impossible to find the blog link...I hate change! Guess it is inevitable though. Good on you to toss those flowers, I tend to keep them and never use them...

    ReplyDelete
  33. I still can't reach my table - less things there as all the tiles are now firmly fixed on the bathroom wall. I haven't any projects to share on WOYWW 200 either because the weekend was spent shopping - towels for my new bathroom for me and wedding things for my niece. Thanks to everyone for visiting and commenting on my bathroom saga - & I'm enjoying myself checking out ideas for when I can finally get back to my table. Janet (2pDesigns)

  36. Congrats on the double century.

    Don't mention Cloud, I never know what I am doing with it, where it is or anything about it. This addled old brain won't cope.

    As for a neat freak, the name sounds the same but I can't say I live up to it. Would like to but ...

    Have a good week and thanks for bringing us all together.

  37. Great desk. Till yesterday pm mine was still neat and tidy after I'd put all away to use table for family Easter gathering. Three simple cards later - a mess. It's how I work.Always keep every little bit- feel I should - but think am going to follow your lead. Can never find the bits anyway!!!! Happy 200th WOYWW !!! Anne x # 51

  38. Morning Julia! Lovely shot of the desk. I use old printouts for scrap too- but I do save my flowers, and then find I still haven't got the right colour. Happy 200th, have a great week, Shaz #53

    ReplyDelete
  39. I am glad at least someone can throw things in the bin! I have saved every flower I have made but never used them - I think I will have to start throwing things away as there is no more room! I like your desk shot today - a bit of a close up so I can see better he, he :-)
    Lots of hugs,

  40. Haven't played along for a while so it seemed time to do so again! Thanks for sharing your desk with us. My desk is usually very tidy but today it's a messy one!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I have given up on saving little bits and pieces, if its not big it goes in the bin, after moving house and finding all these little bits, its just not cool lol

  42. Try as I may I just can't get that messy and stay that messy. So where's the card you made then, was looking forward to that??? I met Helen of the floor department last night at her craft club - cool or what? Have a super day BJ#61

    ReplyDelete
  43. Can hardly believe we're coming up to the 4th anniversary, I need to get a move on with my atc's... so to your desk.. those punches, are they the emboss ones?? and if so what are they like, any good or not really?
    Have a fab rest of week xo
    Minxy #60

    ReplyDelete
  44. I so understand your problem of not remembering what you have and where you've put it - being a 'neat freak' I have a folder of supplies - a sample from every rubber stamp, hole punch, die, emboss folder I have etc etc (even ribbon samples, ink pads, emboss powders and paints!) Possibly a little OCD but I use it all the time!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I actually tidied my desk over Easter - amazing! Wouldn;t know it from my photo today tho! Made me laugh to see even the wax paper off your double sided still on your desk - much more my style loL!!

    Happy woyww

  47. We have a box crammed full of die cuts and so on that we've saved from other projects. Do we use them on other projects? Of course not, we cut more!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. What a productive looking desk Julia! Love the blue stazon color (I think I only have black and white!!). I love your Copic collection, I am new to them and have about 10. Can't wait to see the card you made!

  49.

  52. Hi Julia
    ahhh your work space is like mine. I too have no room for storing stuff and if I do I usually forget where it is anyway. My second week at WOYWWW this week. I hope to get to a few more desks this week for a look

  53. Yep, your desk looks like you are busy - being there or elsewhere... I'm learning to appreciate busy/messy desks more and more lately, hooray! Happy woyww, Marit #77

  56. WOYWW 200 - congratulations and happy anniversary of the first you did! It's a good fun idea, which I have looked at for months before plucking up the courage to join you. Thanks for the opportunity you are giving to folk. Love your workdesk - mine frequently looks like that....so much to do, so little time to do it.
    Have a great day tomorrow.

  58. hi Julia, looks like a busy desk you have. I'm pleased that you throw away some bits and pieces, it's way too tempting to keep everything and then you can't find it to use anyway!! Happy Woyww and thanks for sharing. Liz at 82

    ReplyDelete
  59. Lots of craftiness on your desk this week, Julia. I can see some very posh pens lurking in the background and I love that coaster!!!
    I have to save the flowers, I'm afraid, can't throw anything away.

  66. Happy 200th. I totally understand about keeping mishaps. So I throw a lot of things out if I don't use them. #92

    ReplyDelete
  67. Well, Julia, I'd love to prove how much tidier I am but it's simply not possible ... the evidence proving I'm a messy crafter is out there for all to see :) I like to listen to recorded books when I'm working away ... my way of multi-tasking :) Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x (a very late) #95

    ReplyDelete
  68. Hi Julia! Your desk looks tidy enough for me! Trust me after seeing my own mess yesterday which I conveniently forgot to take a pic of lol nothing could be messy. Looks like you finally figured out it was a good idea to hide your button jar from me..hoping to catch a glimpse of it next week ;) xoxo hugs

    ReplyDelete
  69. Love the punches and that color of stazon ink. YUM! lol!
    Happy 200th! woot~woot! Awesome desk. I keep all my punched pieces in a box to use in junk journals. Even my unused pieces of paper that have only small sections left get punched and tossed in the box for junk journals. I can't tell you how many junk journals I must have help get started too. LOL! Happy Wednesday! SueC#94

  70. Hi Julia and Congrats on your
    2ooth WOYWW. Know what you mean about saving things.. I have too many paper and card off cuts and bits'n'bobs which mostly get over looked and just taking up precious space. About 18 months ago I was on crutches after falling over my stash that had somehow spilled onto taking over the floor - will I ever learn LOL... Have a great day.. Gill x

    ReplyDelete
  71. Thank you for your visit today, Julia and well done for getting to 200, a brilliant achievement. Glad you liked the card. I am going to have another go at that technique with a better quality of embossing powder to see if I can do it again and improve it a little. If you are throwing those reject flowers away, put them into a box to give to children or schools. Having thrown away stacks of mini strips of card and paper, I have just been told off by my daughter who says our granddaughter loves strips of paper and card and does all sorts of great stuff with them. I now have a box next to the guillotine for the tiny strips when I am tidying up toppers and mats. Have a good week sorting out all you different projects. xx Maggie #16

  95. Julia, your desk is the desk of a busy lady....I think it is a wonderful desk! I forgot to take a photo before I cleaned up, so mine looks tidy, which it wasn't an hour earlier. I'm with you on saving bits. I have saved them, but never actually used them. So now it's bin time, or they go to my granddaughter. I'm sure her mum really appreciates that!

  104. Hi Julia, lots of wonderful things to look at on your desk this week :-). Love the idea of the punched flowers and then using them as a mask, I do that with my dies but never though of my punches lol. I can see your a copic girl (eek I think there copics lol), I'm a promarker girl, I have the whole collection, problem is it takes time to find a good blend where as copics seem to make it easy by what others say lol. Sorry I'm waffling. Happy Woyww :-) Kezzy xxx

  111. Apologies Miss, I did not make it today. My excuse? Problems with the Building Inspector and our new extension, delays, buying new fixtures and fittings etc., etc., all on one day - today! Sorry! Will be back next week for sure. Hugs, Anne x

  113. Isn't it crazy how much chaos can be made for one simple project?! I just love looking at your desk though....it's been a while since I've visited - so inspiring!

  114. That is my sort of tidy! The flower thing, I do that all the time - save them for next time then don't remember where (or if) I have them. I start little pots of bits, that grow, then multiply!

  115. we are all getting pretty creative in how we photograph our workspace. so often it's the same space as the week before just a different angle. it's fun to see what everyone is doing and the materials they use. even how others store and organize. thanks julia for continuing to host the blog hop.

  116. I agree with Karen H..never trust a tidy crafter!! Wow! I love the tiny flower punch and all your lucious tools! The paper and glue must have been flying around your desk as you created! Congratulations on your 200th!
    thanks for sharing and hosting us.

  119. It’s good to see you getting back to your old ways Julia, I worry when things are too tidy. Congratulations and reaching the 200th blog post……..who’d have ever thought that a little bit of nosiness could go such a long way!
    Have a great week and ………..
    Happy Crafting!

  120. Hello lovely Julia,

    I'd say your desk looks very creative! I like that flower punch and all those pens! Now, does that little sign say "I'll show knickers for chocolate?"

    Hugs,
    Kay

  121. For someone who has so much going on I'd say your desk was rather tidy.
