Really. 257. So that's only 3 weeks from the big 5th anniversary on 260. How ridiculous. How hilarious! If you're tempted or planning to come to the WOYWW Crop (and why wouldn't you be - it's a gas!), please leave a message to say so - unless you have already of course - there's a page at the top of this blog about the Crop, and about the Anniversary ATC RAK...click to explore. Thank you!
In the meantime, there's yet more multiples type work at my desk. I'm making invitations. And I'm not really sure how or what look; I'm genuinely going with the flow. And trying to use nothing but existing stash. Hmmm, I will report in, if they end up looking anything like the elements that are gathered thus far it will be a miracle. Things are relatively tidy. It's really rather calming. Considering that calm is not at all how I'm feeling about getting these done. Nothing like a deadline, huh! See that treble clef die at left on my notebook. Bought especially for the invites. Unused so far. More Hmmmmmm.
Now please, share and tell will ya, it's all about seeing the surface and drooling over what you've got and what you're doing. I know the arrival of light mornings in the UK has meant that I am now posting after 6am BST, but really, you abroad types get the scheduled version all winter! Join in then - put WOYWW in your post title, link here and put the kettle on. Thanks!
Blimey, I'm up with the blooming sparrows today...sigh...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with getting all those things on your to-to list accomplished - I don't know how you fit it all in!
Have a good day apprenticing....
Hugs, LLJ 2 xx
First commentor! Wow! I see a figure lurking in the iPad reflection ... Good luck with the invites. I would love to swap ATCs with you. Happy WOYWW! Nan G #8
ReplyDeleteBusy making invites..... I feel I have missed something..... What are they for, wedding, birthday, I can't remember you saying..... Or have you not told us?
ReplyDeleteJackie 3
Your desk looks very tidy indeed and the cleft note thingy (see I am not very musical, can't you) looks great so I am now wondering what sort of invite would require one... :)
ReplyDeleteAlways so busy... Bet you're glad to do something other than ATCs!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW :)
no. 7
PS I've cheated a tad and linked to my blog, so folk can scroll down to see birthday pics from yesterday's post... hope that's OK x
Love the tidy desk and the start of the invites hope they don't cause you any treble! Sorry couldn't resist like reflection in iPad. Have a great week - Nicky 11
ReplyDeleteIt's that odd time of the morning that keeps us all on our toes. I can understand 6 am, but 6:11? Where did that come from (grin).
ReplyDeleteYou look nearly as young as that previous photo of you and Mr. D. Of course, you could say it's the reflection that did it, but I think it's a great image.
Your desk seems very tidy and all organized like :) I'm sure you will get everything done in time and did you get my email? Not sure if you changed it if not send me a quick one with ur email Addy and I'll send you something I made hugs Nikki 12
ReplyDeleteGood luck with invites... and using your specially bought stamp...
ReplyDeletethe overhead shot does make things look much tidier...
I've been up since 4:30 and slightly. Loopy so nearly forgot I am once again able to comment, love that die, and the butterfly. I am starting the day with my desk in a state but with luck by the end of the day mine will rival yours for neatness :). I can only hope....
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

Busy production line going there! Hope you get the invites finished okay! Lynda & I very much hoping to get to the crop later this month. Ali #19
ReplyDeleteSuch a tidy desk! Very impressive. Hope the invites get done quickly and I am sure they will be beautiful. I am off to vote. Will take my iPad to visit some people while I wait in the line.
ReplyDeleteTertia #20
Using only existing stash huh?.... that old chestnut!
ReplyDeleteKaren #22
All neat and tidy there Julia! Hope the invites go well. x Jo
ReplyDeleteA very organised desk, Julia. I'm into "using only existing stash" at the moment too! I've got so much stuff I've bought and never yet used! There's always something to tempt one, isn't there. The treble clef die looks interesting, and I'd love to see what the invites look like. Those embossed tags are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't decided whether I'm going to be able to take part in the ATC swap. I'd like to but I've got a lot on at the moment and limited time when I'm energetic enough to do anything!!
Thanks for hosting us again.
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #24
good luck the invites how come deadlines always cause us stress!???.wish I was going to the crop maybe next year.... have good week Andrea.#26
ReplyDeleteps like the embossing on the tags and that bird stamp with the very very long legs
Good luck with those invites...and using existing stash to make them with ;-)
ReplyDeleteAlas life here has stopped us joining you at the crop again this year....it will happen one day.
Hugs,
Annie x
Good morning, Julia. Seems your to-do list is even longer than mine - I trust you manage it all. I like that treble clef die. Being a musician that appeals.
ReplyDeleteThanks for so faithfully staggering through this each Wednesday.
Margaret
Very tidy today. I thought I'd come to the wrong place for a moment! But then I caught sight of your reflection. So looking forward to the crop. Really must start those ATCs!
ReplyDeleteA deadline can certainly help with the production of invites. As for buying craft things for a particular purpose and not using it.... oh yes I have a cupboard full!!
ReplyDeleteSandra @41
Oh heck I am a deadline person too Julia and I am sure the invites will be amazing...I'm loving the beige embossed bits. Oh Julia I see you LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs
Annette In Oz #39
ah Julia must admit the Ipad image caught my eye first (thought was photo then twigged just what it was) themn the tidiness of your desk.. and yes saw the treble clef.. need such a die right now for one of my required makes .. but wont indulge as like you want to use existing stash...( a big "hmm" here)... not always possible but one can hope eh? happy WOYWW three to go! Shaz in Oz.x #35
ReplyDeleteMorning julia
ReplyDeleteMy first Link goes to your blog so please delete. The invitations look interesting .... A big birthday and I see you in the I pad,it's amazing what you don't see through the camera lens
Janet @20 and 31
Morning Julia.
ReplyDeleteYour invitations look as if they will be good if you get them done. How many do you have to make? That butterfly die cutter is nice, works well, I have it and use it a lot. Like the treble clef, must see if I can get that.
Bless you
Chris #33
Lots to see on your desk including some of the desk - wow!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what these invites end up looking like.
Toni xx
Hope you get the invites sorted.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely WOYWW.
Great desk AS USUAL!!!! Am about to put my head in the oven over the WOYWW ATC's ... Maggie C is trying to keep me calm but have never made one before so ... well, you can imagine the jitters!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you have a notebook on your desk & I assume you write down everything you use for any particular project? I really must get into the habit of doing that as I can never remember what I used and sometimes someone will ask! Happy WOYWW'ing Julia! Love Debbie #46 xXx
Hi Julia, looks like being a nice day here in sunny Lincoln (that's UK) hope it is where you are. Love the tags and the little bird on the right, can't quite tell whether he's a stamped image but he looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW day, Angela x 46

Sorry Julia, not sure what happened there, better two than nothing at all lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting, Angela x
Oh I must be getting me a treble clef die one day. Nice calm desk. BJ
ReplyDeleteI love your reflection in your iPad! How fun! Invites make me nervous as I am not one on mass stamping or trying to recreate stuff exactly as I did before. I can't wait to see how you use the clef! The embossing on the tags looks great! Winnie#50
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, no desk from me this week, just popping in to say hi. Planning on having that colourful cocktail for you tonight, will FB a pic to see if it gets your approval,lol. Big sunny hugs,Shaz xxx
ReplyDeleteGoing with the flow when making cards is usually my modus operandi - LOL! You have some great elements there, but if you operate anything like me, you may end up with something completely different. That's the wonder of the creative process. Whatever you do with the invitations, I'm sure they will be marvelous. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAs always it seems you have quite the busy desk but it does seem quite neat! Love the butterfly!
ReplyDeleteGlenda #54
I like the beginning of your creative tags. Some dies...are hard to work with, good luck with that. I wish I could come to a crop, I could use a break in creative fun. Hoping for rain so I can finish up my ATC's. And I like the long legged birdie stamp. Enjoy, thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThe best way to may something you like is to have a lot of stuff, and you have that covered!
ReplyDeleteTidy little piles and bits and pieces. Cut little clef!
thanks for the snoop!
Robyn57
No layers today...you've got room to play. Good luck with using existing stash for the invites, it could prove to be very interesting I'm sure. Carole # 59
ReplyDeleteWould invites with a treble clef on them have anything to do with the woywwer at No2 this week??! Love the tidy desk and the ipad reflection, looks nice and sunny, it's thundering and pouring down here this morning. Three weeks today I'll be boarding a plane somewhere in the Caribbean heading back to the US! I think that's a good way to celebrate woyww, don't you?!
ReplyDeleteHugs

Good morning/afternoon, Julia! Good luck with the invitations. Something will click and then you'll be off to the races. I, too have an adrenaline project or two going on -- Mother's Day cards not made and cupcakes not frosted because I didn't have enough confectioner's sugar. Ah, well. Off to the grocery store to buy some! ~ Laura #60
ReplyDeleteLoving those numbered tags! Some of my favorite things I've ever made have come from my scrap basket. Press on!
ReplyDeleteCathy #69
Hi Julia, tidy desk there this week, but having a dead line ...for invites..oowww good luck. Those times for me and I go blank and then end up walking around the house instead of getting on with the job...still they end up getting done..late at night..lol Cheers and have a great week RobynO#68
ReplyDeleteYour desk is very tidy this week..Invites eh? I do hope that it doesn't turn into my Mother's Day thing...making things in bulk is never fun. Good luck. Cx #72
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try making the components first next time I try making multiples. I usually get distracted and then go with a "well the cards are sort-of themed" rationale lol. Lovely die, looking forward to seeing it in action. I also love that long-legged bird :D. It's good to be back.

ReplyDeleteI do that Julia purchase things to go on that special project then revert to some other idea that I randomly use. Love the ipad shot and a lovely one too. Oh and that desk is wonderfully clean, bravo....
ReplyDeleteHugs Eliza & Yoda
Good for you for trying to use up existing stash. Hope you don't have TOO many invites to make. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Woyww,
Sandy #70
For as busy as you are with the gathering of components, your desk is relatively tidy and organized! I see you even have your glasses ready for use. Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteCarol N #66
Busy, but in a very tidy sort of way. Show us a finished one when you can?
ReplyDelete:)
Your desk always looks so interesting, and busy, and fun!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the invitations. Going with the flow is sometimes the best way to find a great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove the selfie on you phone....grin
Hello Julia,
ReplyDeleteOh, how I would love to come to the crop but not this year. I need to put it on my Bucket List!
Your desk looks quite tidy, little piles of tags. By the way, I love how the tags are looking. I can see the embossing and it looks great. Good luck with making the invites - what's your deadline?
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,
Kay
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI hope this finds you well! I have been ill so not posting much for the past few months. I am happy to see your post and will check out what you have been doing as well as many of these great bloggers!
Wishing you a happy day!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
Julia, I do believe that is the first time I've ever seen your actual desk surface! I suspect that while it's calming it's also challenging for you to create that way lol! You seem to thrive with the chaos which I adore btw! Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteAngie #82
Good going with the invites! I've bought special stamps just for a specific party invite, and then have never worked on them...One day..I will! Who made the treble clef die? That could be fun! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLook at that organization. Isn't it nice, though I can tell you from experience, it never lasts long. Look at that great reflection in the iPad.... So sweet! I wish I could come to your crop....but I think my husband might miss me....hold on, I'll ask! Never mind! Happy crafting and thanks for giving us a reason to love Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteSuch a neat organised and productive desk. Thanks for hosting. Happy WOYWW. Caro x #43
ReplyDeleteSo here's your desk - boobs and all!!! That is just so me ...
ReplyDeleteLove all the bits for the invites, look forward to seeing the finished results.
Have a good evening, hope you don't get to rained on in the coming days ....
Bishopsmate #85
Evening Julia, just made it in time :) x
ReplyDeletePopping by to update the blogging world about my absence and to prove that the WOYWW show does go on.
ReplyDeleteCan hardly believe if has been almost 5 years since you started this Julia WOW!
I'm liking the look of those tags and I can see them looking rather smashing on a little card, not much bigger than that, with the musical wotsit overhanging it. You've reminded me to get my embossing folders into action again too! #30
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, impressed that you can see some desk this week. Your invites look really interesting. Look forward to seeing a finished one. Have a great week, Ela #90 x
ReplyDeleteI did not manage to post this week. Went to take photos and all the camera batteries are flat and the chargers are AWOL. My desk is even more of a wreck with stencil and stamp sorting still in progress and ATC's now added to the mix. Your desk, by contrast is remarkably tidy. I am really looking forward to the Crop and meeting everyone. xx Maggie
ReplyDeleteCalm sounds wonderful. And hmmm can lead to all sorts of things. So a desk full of potential. Can't wait to see what comes of it.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW,
KatzElbows #92
First time to this party although Robyn's posts tempt me most weeks. Nice way to spend hump day. I am not a fan of doing multiples of anything so can't imagine, but you seem to be very good at it with the embossing folder action and maybe there's a Zen-like state you get after a bit? Anyways, thanks for the invitation. - Charmaine #94
ReplyDeleteJulia - a response for you - embossing paste is awesome - but pricey. I bought mine on sale - hence why it is blue! On my card course, they use it in white through a stencil, let it dry, then mist it - DROOL. Cx #72
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the invites will be grand! I am wondering what you use the notebook for! Nosy as ever! As to your question, I don't usually use the background at the top, but I don't spend much time deciding. I love surprises and that is what I get every day! :^) patsy
