I had, in the back of my mind, a semi-plan to have a really good clear out in my work room and streamline my operation; hit the ground running and be altogether way ahead of my game. Hasn't happened yet. But it's OK, I've done other things instead. I don't know why the Christmas holiday stifles my creativity, but I think it does. I think it's the lure of food. So, my desk is cleared of the company book-keeping stuff, and waiting for something. It may well just be the turn of a page, entry into a New Year. Or it may be that overdue clear out. I don't know, but I'm looking forward. I won't be making any retrospective posts. I'm not good at looking back, it makes me too sentimental - and also, proves that my memory is questionable! So, given my 'It is what it is' sort of attitude, the big pink eraser leaning on my iPad is very suitable. Part of a Christmas gift from Miss Dunnit's current Squeeze. He's got to know me quite well!
Lunch Lady Jan on the other hand, has me all wrong. I can tell you already that she'll be laughing her head off as she reads this...Seriously, all wrong.
Join in then, this New Year's Eve...show us how your holiday work surface is looking in the face of a New Year. Put WOYWW in your post title and link here. We'll do the rest.
This message comes to you without fuss or drama to wish you and yours a Happy and successful New Year; may 2015 be everything you intend it to be.
Happiest of New years to you Julia!
ReplyDeleteto more joy and less worry!

Well LLJ chose a lovely gift and it would have suited me to the ground so I guess you are chuffed really.
ReplyDeleteAs for the 'squeeze' - he knows how to treat his girl friends mother,
Happy New Year to you and yours. I have a full day to go before New Years Eve when I waken up and I have to go to bed yet. I am still confused - it's still Tuesday.
Hugs, Neet xx
I can hear LLJ laughing from here 👑
ReplyDeletewhat a perfect gift ☺
Happy new year and to enjoying all the fun crafty time in the new year and we all like to look back every once in a while just to see how far we've come along hugs Nikki 4
ReplyDeleteThank you dear "Julia"( we know that's not your real name), but just wanted to share with you how much I've enjoyed posting on my blog hop.
ReplyDeleteMay the Christmas hoils be the energy recharging experince we all seem toi need.
Thanks again for the past year's efforts.

Lovely year of WOYWW, thank you for being such a lovely hostess, looking forward to seeing you and Jan in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs and love,

Hi Julia wishing you & the family a very happy new year! Looking forward to seeing what projects roll off that neat and tidy desk in the fresh new year ahead! Ali H #12
ReplyDeleteI love both your gifts, still laughing at your 'drama queen' title! Your desk looks very clear - I certainly recognise the 'can't craft after Christmas' scenario, I had to force myself to paint my chest (you know what I mean, titter ye not!)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and the family. Hope 2015 is a great one in every way xxx
Happy new year Mrs d .. Aybe people knows you better than you think ha ha the rubber is fab and you certainly won't loose it.
ReplyDeleteNo review of the year from me either... I know what happened ....it was a blast .... Most of the time
Here's to2015
I love the big pink thing.....oh, and the rubber's not bad either!! Fnar, fnar..... Start 2015 as we mean to go on, eh?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, me dear old mate.
LLJ xxxx
ah Julia wot a great eraser there wont miss that and sooo tongue in cheek and makes your wonder about LLJ dont you :D *tee hee*
ReplyDeleteI am so like you .. I had every intention to actually tidy my room but for some reason start the tidying up then start playing all over again :D
...hey its all good, it will (or may) get done in 2015 :D every blessing dear Julia on your 2015 and happy WOYWW!
Shaz in Oz.x #15 I think
Oh where would we be without our friends! We certainly wouldn't laugh as much would we? Wishing you all a very happy New Year.

Ok Drama Queen! LOL! Best wishes for the new year to you and yours. I hope the New year brings lots of creative moments that just pop into your head without too much effort!
ReplyDeleteDrama Queen? What does Jan mean? Wishing you a Happy and mojo filled New Year.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the friendship you and LLJ share ... warms the cockles of me old heart! Fab-u-lous empty(ish) desk there all ready for your wonderfully creative juices to flow ... looking forward to seeing what you produce this year! Thanks for another year of WOYWW'ing ... love being part of the WOYWW family! Wishing you a VERY Happy New Year! Love Debbie xXx
ReplyDeleteI guess we all see something different but it just goes to prove how much your loved....and there is no doubt about that :-)
ReplyDeleteHoping 2015 allows us all to enjoy being creative and even more friendships come out of this wonderful group you've created with your efforts.
Love you lots Julia. Thanks for being you.
Hugs,

That is one very clean & tidy desk to see-in the New Year with.
ReplyDeleteI love both of the gifts.
Have a wonderful evening and I'll see you back here in 2015.
I hope 2015 brings all that you hope for.
Hugs

Happy New Year to you to Julia and thanks for the old one. What a tidy desk you have today, I'm afraid you wont find that round at mine Lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting, Angela x 23
What a clean and ready to go desk you are showing this morning. I can't help but notice the wonderful light coming through those windows! Here's wishing you the very best in the upcoming new year! I thank my stars everyday for you as I don't know how I'd manage without getting to be a part of this wonderful hop!
ReplyDeleteGlenda #24
Hi Julia, and Happy New Year to you and yours. My post says much the same- where on earth did that year go? Can't imagine for a moment that the desk will stay looking like that for long! Huge Hugs, Shaz xxx
ReplyDeleteEverything you said is so true! I thought I would be way into my creative to do list by now. Not happening! Just a beautifully clean desk, like yours. Hugs and happy new year! Sandy Leigh
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Julia. Anne x #28
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. I hope 2015 bring all your wishes. Hugs Sue
ReplyDeleteA big thank you for all the hosting, laughing and inspiration for 2014.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to 2015 with much excitement and expectation - did I tell you that I am going to drop my negative self criticism? Well, the thought is there!
Wishing you all that you wish for yourself in 2015.
Bishopsmate #30
Love the pink rubber and the 'Drama Queen'. LOL they are funny (even if course, the latter isn't true!!). It's good to clear the decks for the new year,
ReplyDeleteI'm back again! I'll be checking out your sites whilst I'm on dialysis!! Have A very Happy New Year everyone!!! As long as it's better than last year il be a happy bunny!!! 🐰! Love Karen xx 😃
ReplyDeleteI'm the opposite! I've signed up to so many classes/challenges starting in January that I'm actually over stimulated! I used to feel lethargic about January, but now I'm looking forward to it and can't wait to get started! LOVE the pink rubber!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a joyful and creative 2015 with little drama and no regrets. Thank you for inspiring us all through woyww.

Happy New Year Julia and family and a big thank you for hosting WOYWW - I look forward to my Wednesdays and desk hopping across the world. Cheers RobynO#35
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your desk for yet another great year. All the best. x Jo
ReplyDeleteFunny thing that the last day of the year is a Wednesday!! So I will spent quite some time with world wide travel on the sofa I suppose :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for making WOYWW possible and I wish you and your family a very happy and successful New Year!

Drama Queen..Too Funny. Have a Happy New Year. #37
ReplyDeleteJust accept you will never be tidy and organized in your art life. In my experience tidy people spend as mush time tidying up as we do looking for stuff. The true TIDY also known today as OCD is usually unable to do anything unless everything is in the right place then they can start. Perfectionism is a cousin to tidy and the carriers of these genes have a lot of angst. We untidys just tear up what we created and do not like and leave the bits on our desks and later on finding the bits declare it a treasure and reuse it!
ReplyDeleteOh I see uyou too have the ROBOT. Google playing cop and protecting us!!!
I wish you and your family a Very Happy New Year! Your comment about time not speeding up but us slowing down; it feels right. I'm going with that..perhaps it will reduce the stress of lost time...
ReplyDeleteOh Julia, I know exactly how you feel with the food drawing you in! I made myself hide in my studio from it lol. I did get alot done though...but cleaning isn't any of it. There is so much paper on my floor I think mice or birds would love a shot at nest making! Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Julia wishing you and your family all the very best for 2015 Anita #42
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you a fabulous 2015 : D. I'm not much of a retrospective sort either.
ReplyDeleteWe are prepared for New Year's Eve with our Penny Jar noise makers and sparkling grape juice lol. OK we celebrate the countdown with Animal Crossing lol. Tomorrow we'll eat ham and black eyed peas (a lucky day for every bean eaten on New Year's Day).
I've heard the time thing is because we have more time in our memory as we age. A year to a 5 yo is 1/5... to a 50 yo 1/50 lol. Right side of the dirt and all that : D. #41
I am in the dark about the Drama Queen stuff. But, hey, I got my deck chair for Christmas! :) We will all get to being more creative after the holidays, I hope. Hayppy New Year, Julia!
ReplyDeleteIntrigued by the drama queen ...???? A very Happy New Year to you and yours Julia, see you in 2015 :o) Annie C #47
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you Julia!
ReplyDeleteHow very strange! When I logged in, I was No45 and I was just thinking I would rather be No 50. I did a refresh and, guess what, I am now No 50. What an incredibly tidy desk, Julia. I also had the intention of getting my desk straight to start the New Year ready to really get things done. However my Mojo had other ideas, finding my missing paints for me. It would have been rude not to play, wouldn't it? I hope you have a very good 2015 with lots of fun and crafting to come. Happy New Year. xxx Maggie #50
ReplyDeleteReporting in with my before pictures as instructed Miss Julia!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours.
Hugs

I don't know what the pink eraser says, but it's pink, and that's good enough for me!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSheri #53
happy New Year to you Julia, I'll try not to be such a stranger next year.
ReplyDeleteKarin #55
Happy Everything!!!! Christmas does seem to obscure the creativity but after... Well that's a horse of a different color! I'm ready and more than willing to get back to being inky. At least till the warm spring air stirs and invites me to the gardens!
ReplyDeleteAngie #56
Better late than never, I suppose - it is still just about Wednesday. My goodness, Julia, what a tidy desk. Are you sure it's yours? Lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW,
Shoshi
Happy New Year to you Julia!
ReplyDeleteSo you're not a drama queen? Is that what you're trying to say? Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteApril #48
hee hee you are so far from being a drama Queen Julia, thanks for the smiles and the fun views this last year. Happy New Years :) ~Stacy #60
ReplyDeleteJust no time to join WOYWW this week, and I know it is already the new year for you. I'm watching the last few hours of the year tick away. You know we are one of the last time zones and as we say, here on the west coast of the USA........"They save the best for last!"" LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Julia and all the rest of the "Dunnits" grin!
Happy New Year mrs Dunnit! We've 'dunnit' and got through another year. Here's to 2015!
ReplyDeleteAnd I too 'non regrette rien' (rolling my rrrrs like Edith Piaf!)
Lisca~45
Happy New Year to you, Julia! Thanks for being our ever faithful hostess. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Woyww!

Hi Julia - happy new year to you and yours. Thanks so much for enabling all us crafters to get together. It must seem like shepherding goldfish, sometimes!! Hugs and blessings for 2015. Chris # 3

Hi Julia, Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI am late due to internet problems yesterday.
Carol #61
Happy New Year to all! Looking forward to more WOYWW in 2015. Thanks for all of your visits and comments. Much appreciated!
ReplyDelete(so late Nann#62)
I'm chuckling at your comment Julia and have had to go check the pic concerned cos I never drink coffee made with hot milk so it couldn't possibly be milk skin.....if you enlarge the pic you will maybe see that it is the reflection of the sun coming through the window with the shadow thrown from the plant in the window :-) but thanks so much for the giggle.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Annie x
Oh what a sign to receive? - Drama Queen - Well I really don't think you are that ... hehe... Happy New Year to you dear Julia and a lots og warm thoughts I send you. Hopefully there is superb happiness to you and more great things.
ReplyDeleteKind regards
Mariane
I've finally started feeling like I am going to live, so I'm taking time to find out what you are up to. LLJan hasn't got it right at all. You are just a Queen. The WOYWW Queen.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that desk and the way it looks when this photo was taken, makes me think I'm at the wrong house (grin).
Happy belated New Year, dear friend. I'll see you Wednesday, at least that's the plan.
Howdy Drama Queen! Just popped in to see what you have been up to lately...I must say that Lunch Lady knows you pretty well!
