What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 309

The sixth anniversary of WOYWW is very nearly upon us. Week 312.
This is a link to explain the ATC swap that we're gearing up for.
As I usually do, I took two photos of my desk, and can only show you this one..

Because for once, I don't want you to see what's under the new stuff. And the overhead shot really did show my ATCs off. Strange how the camera shows more than the viewfinder! But, despite the gloom this morning, you can see I've got new paper and twine and the shiny packet is probably a new die, possibly by Kaisercraft. That Shopkeeper Gal has produced a new workshop schedule so I felt the need to buy a couple of things to kick start my card samples. *ahem..any excuse*.
The notebook pages on my ipad stand are torn from a now full book which is in file 13. The notes pertain to some layout ideas that I garnered at a convention in 2006. Yep, seven years later and I still intend to do the pages. Ho hum. You can just see my WOYWW wet wipe holder at left, made for me by Annie and Twiglet some years back now..a really useful and cherished pressie. You also get sight of my unweeded patio. Hmm...I refuse to do more than try to control the height of them now...we are due to build on that space this year, so I'm not wasting my energies!
Show and tell then please - we want to see what you're up to as well. Put WOYWW in your post title and link here..simple and it makes you visit-able!

I just hope there will be no more talk of nicking my design! ;) Mr Linky is still sleeping so I'll have to pop back. But the quote on my list today will strike a chord, I'm sure!

Happy WOYWW

Lovely desk - mischievous linky!

This week I've created a very special scrapbooking layout about my Mother, who is no longer with us. I hope you'll all stop by for a visit. Grief is such a personal thing - but I'm happy to share this special memory with you today.

Have a wonderful week!

Miserable dark, rainy day here too- will hop around after work.
LOVE your iPad stand.

MrsC.x said...

Helen said...

oops I'm linked twice now, hadn't noticed one of you had done me!! thanks whoever it was!

Annie said...

Hi Julia. I'm a little later to join in the fun this week....I've been given the day off to recover from this cold. It seems I've timed it right to catch Mr Linky :-)
I shall be posting my ATCs to you soon but was hoping to label the envelopes with those that are coming to the crop so I don't end up sending those ones twice.
Hugs,
Annie x

lisa said...

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Julia, have to admit I have not been so good at hiding my ATCs but not letting on where they are to be found as I used them as part of another post. Naughty! what a tease!
Happy woyww, Angela x 23

Angela said...

Hi Julia,

Lovely new paper and pretty twine, can never have too much! Looking forward to seeing what's hidden...
Hope the sun comes out for you soon!

Happy Wednesday :)

Marit said...

I love the colour of the twine Julia! And I too had to put away 'something' that I don't want you deskers to see this morning... ha! Your patio looks good to me (coming from a house with garden to an appartment with a small balcony: any patio/garden looks awesome to me!!) Have a great, sunshiny day! Happy woyww, Marit #26

Glenda said...

I can't wait to see what you are hiding! I bet it's good! Glenda #27

shazsilverwolf said...

Hi Julia, as my ATC's are still at the 'background done' stage, they are on full view! Love the spotty paper, and the baby wipes bag- very pretty. Love & hugs, Shaz xxx

Robyn said...

Thanks for filling us all in Julia.
Want to swap? I have you on my gift list!
Blessings,

My name is Cindy said...

Aah, the projects of the past - I recently decided that it was time to lose the craft stamper back copies from 2008 - but had to go through them first and still managed to pull out a fair few projects 'to do one day'. Shame I still haven't done anything from the magazines in, 2009, 2010, 2011........

Lynn Holland said...

A wet wipe holder, who would have thought it..... I like that idea.
Right I'm off to ask my friend Mel to knock one up

Arnoldo L. Romero, MLA said...

You can always claim supporting xeriscaping, if anyone says anything about the weeds. LOL! Have fun with your ATC's and Blessings!

Christine said...

Blue paper ...... is that an omen?

I often go through my folder of 'old' cards for inspiration, old is gold I have heard say!

Have a good week

pearshapedcrafting said...

So excited was I - the wrong link I did put!!!!
Don't know whether you can take the wrong one off - sorry!!! Chrisx now 49!!!

Fiona@Staring at the Sea said...

You can't go wrong with polka dots. I've given SU a mention today. I don't usually tout for business on a Wednesday, but there'll nothing to donate to the cause if I don't!

CraftygasheadZo said...

Love the polka dots and the blue tones. I'm being naughty today so feel free to slap me but I'm sharing lots of pics as I know you will all enjoy having a giggle! Take care Zo xx

J said...

Julia your desk is looking quite tidy, is the outside work going to be a craft room extension by any chance?

Elizabeth said...

Hi Julia, the blue spotty paper looks lovely - I find it hard to resist anything with spots on :) I put sketches/ideas into a notebook of inspiration ... then I forget to look in it!!! I wouldn't waste time and energy on weeds if they are going to be built over either. Have a good week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #51

Kim said...

I love that blue paper, and the color of those fibers! Have fun playing. And no excuse is wasted...well, valid excuse...umm,

Annie Claxton said...

oooooh pretty papers and gorgeous fibres. And patio, schmatio - life's too short for weeding! :o) Happy WOYWW Annie C #57

sandysewin said...

I LIKE the look of the greenery coming up between the patio stones, no need to weed it at all. :-D

Hate to tell you this, but 2006 was 9 years ago, not 7. Yipes.

Happy creating and happy woyww,

Sandy #34

Stacy Sheldon said...

You know I had to laugh about the "probably" a new die "possibly" from co. xyz lol... ~Stacy #58

Art Joy of Sharing with Peg and Shel said...

Just used a bunch of dotty papers for a friends book. Love the view out to the yard. What a great place to work.

Twiglet said...

Glad the little holder is still giving good service. My ATCs are coming along slowly - will be sending some with Annie's parcel for the crop. Hope it goes well and that you have a fab day. x Jo

Sylvia/LittleTreasures said...

Loving the blue dot papers. And thanks for mentioning the wipe holder..I have one of these I found stashed away, and wondered what to use it for. Running late in posting as DH had to take a trip to the city really early this AM. And I can't miss the chance for lunch away. Have a fun week. Storms are here AGAIN..have flowers to plant.

Bernice said...

I love the spotty paper - looking forward now to see what you're going to do with it?

Princess Judy Palmer said...

New papers, a die and twine! How exciting for you! I'm excited! Love the unweeded, wild, natural state photo of the yard and the almost unnatural state of the desk...it's almost clean! hee hee

So my Bday is May 9, this Sunday, very soon and maybe I'll have new things too! And I survived that meeting, but just barely!

Kristina Grøn said...

It is getting close now :D I like that you don't want to show the ATC, I think I will do the same with the one that I dicide to send :) Have a lovely week :)

Artsnark said...

Always enjoy a peek into your creative space! Thanks for sharing

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Julia, did you get my email asking for your address?

PaperOcotilloStudio said...

Thanks for stopping by my desk before I could even get a comment on your's! I recognise those weeds..they are the same ones that grow in my backyard :P That pokey dot paper looks fun!

Lisca said...

I can guess what you are hiding u der that very pretty polka dot paper....
Sorry for commenting so late! I completely forgot! Shame on me!
I'm on holiday in the uk and am at our sons house in Windsor and he has wifi so I can comment to my heart's content.
Have a great week,
Lisca

AnyOldCraft said...

LOL That's my kind of weeding.
Not that I do an awful lot of it.
I usually just offer the boys a little money to do it for me.
