There's loads on my desk but not much to see. I deliberately haven't changed it because that would be more staging than is worth it! Under the '&' paper is five LOS that I managed to do at the crop at the beginning of the month. Each needs journaling before filing and I simply haven't got further than unpacking yet. I'll show you when they're done. You know I'm good for it, because once done, I'll be smug. The cards in cellopane are spread out on a basket of supplies waiting to be put away. The new cards are part of a selection that I'm choosing from for a workshop. Fascinating. You can just see one of my new stamps 'wood' mounted teacup by Finnabair. I may not drink much tea, but I love to get together for it! And at this angle, it looks strange, but on top of the sellotape is just a reel of tape awaiting my having the strength to load it into the ATG gun. It takes about thirty seconds, so you understand my delaying.
Share then will you, your work surface this week - let us see what you're doing (or not doing, as in my case). No overt advertising please. Put WOYWW in your post title and link here. Cool. As the kids apparently don't say any more. Well, Who knew!

Morning Julia , like the paper on your desk. Happy woyww jill
Love the '&' paper. Really love the Kraft 'love' card too - always love circles. Hope the day is a good one and you can sort your layouts - I know they'll be shared with us as soon as you can!
Five layouts already started, that's a really good start....I have not started my Malta layouts from two years ago!!!
I can totally understand why you are procrastinating on the ATG my spool tangled part way through and couldn't get it back on and neither could hubby even with watching a ton of YouTube videos. I ended up putting a new reel on (where do you buy yours from, craft obsessions is the only place I can find?) and what a faff but worth it as its a great tape.

I love your & paper....it sort of makes you anticipate there's more to come :-) Well done you with the 5 LOs. Don't overdo things on the work front....we want to see you having crafty fun ;-)
Hugs,

Love the irreverent tone this morning! I too, am always smug when I manage to add journalling to a layout! Enjoy your week!
Clair #11
not much going on, 5 lay outs, that's not nothing.
I like the Ampersand paper...trust you to find that one!
Hugs, LLJ 13 xxx
I think there is a conspiracy with hubby but he's not telling you lol. Love the sheets for the LOs and those cards are so yummy

Well done you. Only journaling to do. That's nearly finished.
I love that Kraft card with the hearts on it. Great idea.

I love those cards, especially the foliage one that I can just glimpse under the circles one. Looks like you are getting organised with your layouts, hope you manage to get them finished.
Hope you have a good week,
Diana #23
Love the card on the top - really beautiful and gorgeous papers and a stack of glue - all ready to get going by the looks of it, hopefully I'll get chance to photograph my desk in a bit!
Hi Julia,
... well managed to get a post done once more, so feeling tad smug too as also did my walk, as well as necessary visiting, phone calls, bit of housework, etc.. must be something in the air..
And well cards in craft seem to be the go.. like you circle card a lot!
Thanks so much for sharing, esp on your 'hubby-conspiracy-non-free day'. ;)
Happy WOYWW! Shaz in Oz.x #25

Hope you can manage a bit more crafty time - these hubbies and their schedules!!
So I can comment as WP again. What happened there? LOL! you delaying loading your ATG. I totally do that too. It is stupid simple so WHY? Just laziness on my part, not to sure about on yours! :)
Happy WOYWW!

Hi Julia, another desk in waiting I think! Gorgeous papers. I have to say I have used a similar design for a card with the circles, I think they may get lots more use yet. Have a great day and happy woyww, Angela x 28
That's a lot of paper, Julia! You will have fun with that. Like you, I am also psyching myself up to put a new refill in my ATG gun! I always have to look up how to do it...
Happ WOYWW,
Shoshi #21
Oooh...nice papers on your desk
Sneaking in........apparently I am "back to normal" again......must be as I posted on my blog just now ;-)
xxxx
Here you are with lovely papers on your desk and I have just got rid of a "shed load" of them. Yes took a big bag full to a friend at weekend as I so need to clear some stuff out and make room for stuff bought. Must remember I need space for new stuff when I am tempted to buy.
Now what is your DH playing at? Wednesdays!!!
Hugs, Neet 4 xx
Great papers but what I especially like is that fabulous flower spray at the bottom of the photo! Finally feel I can join in and send comments around to other folk!! Hugs, Chrisx
Good morning Julia. Don't pass out - but, yes, I have finally managed to post this morning! Great looking papers - and I thinkI would need to really prych myself up to fill a glue gun. Not got one - so I'm with Shoshi - I would need to look it up each time!
Take care. God bless.
Margaret
Pah, kids these days they wouldn't know cool if it hit them on the nose! Loving the & paper, definitely cool! Cara x
Happy WOYWW. Lovely papers and cards out on display. Look forward to seeing the LOs. Ali x #42
My desk was 'scheduled' too... and it hasn't changed at all - well, maybe a bit more messy lol
Happy Wednesday! I'm excited to be here again this week! Like my desk I'm still a mess...but a work in progress! :)
Diane
I try to say 'cool' to my kids as often as possible. It is fun to see them roll their eyes. Have a great WOYWW ;)
Pretty papers. You are sooooooooooooooo busy with a big variety of things to keep your time occupied. Enjoy a fun week. Happy WOYWW
Hi!
My desk is messy and it looks like I do alot. But I am sooo slow. And I jump from one thing to another. Wish I was superdisciplined but I am not...
Have a fun WOYWW and happy week.
Thanks for doing this each week! :D

Hello Julia! I just successfully linked up for first time #44 and am very excited to join the fray here! Your desk looks pretty interesting - I would definitely want to play with those papers. I relate to the ATG reload. I have to get out the instructions every time! Also, journaling on layouts was always something I needed "the right time" to do, then never did. Love the sunlight on your desk. I've been lurking for about a month, readying to enter lol, and have seen mostly pre-dawn desks from you. You get such great sunlight! Have a good one! xoxo
It's a conspiracy!!! Us Yanks you know are great believers in those, well at least I am when it comes to my husband trying to stop me from doing something he isn't a part of lol! I'm just kidding, feeling feisty now that I'm able to move up the stairs without being so sore and out of breath as to need to go back and collapse on the lounge chair. Happy Wednesday!

Hi Julia, yeah, I hate fussy cutting too, with a passion, so minimise it as much as possible. Do like the ampersand paper- very nice background. Love the black card I can see poking out too.Have a great week, Huge hugs, Shaz xxx
Your '&' paper is fab, I managed to get a '&' stamp the other day...another thing unused yet but I just love the fact that I have one lol.
Have a great day.
Dawn #45
the ampersand paper is very cool. love the card peeking out too. :) ~Stacy # 56
Did you make the "Love a lot" card? What a cute sentiment!! I want to make that card. Well you deserve away time for sure, and you are so kind to keep us all going whilst your away! So no worries about Mr. Dunnit. Happy Wednesday! Sandy Leigh #51
Good morning (afternoon, or evening), Julia! That ampersand paper is super cool -- I've always had a soft spot for that whimsical punctuation mark. The card that appears to be the second one down in the stack looks intriguing -- a line art floral stamp on a cream background, black text, on a black card. Makes me want to drive home and see if I've got anything similar -- it looks really elegant. Happiest of WOYWWs to you! ~ Laura the Bookworm #60
Five LOs! I am so proud of you. You will have earned your smugness badge :-)
that & paper looks interishesting. Wonder what you'll do with it. A little progress on my side of the world. Just running behind. Creative Blessings! Kelly #62
No, cool is apparently not cool anymore. 'Sick' is cool...or it was the last time I was within earshot of teenagers. Love the & paper. Hope you get some rest and creative time after all this work! Happy crafting, Max #61
Fun bunch of designer paper you have there. I like that card with the scribbly circles on it. Happy day to you! PJ #63
Creeping in at better late than never time .....
I don't have one of those large tape holder thingies although I would love one - I'm not very strong either so maybe I'll stick (ha!) with my small tape pens.
Have a good week
Christine aka Bishopsmate #64
desk looks primed for crafting. Hope you get time to use that awesome paper to some crafty goodness... Have a great week! Vickie #66
Just in case no one has said this today, you so ROCK. thanks for keeping this going, even if I don't get to post every time, it is truly a thrill to see what other people are up to. Take care.
ENJOY WOYWW
Pat #61
The stamp looks like fun. I like the paper and the Love a lot card in the basket.
As always, thanks for hosting WOYWW
Sharon k #47
Thanks for the advice on the ribbon I don't think it likes any sewing in it at all but it will do for now. I see your a busy girl as always happy late WOYWW hugs Nikki
Love that "&" paper! But I am wondering what you are going to do with it? Just curious :)
Have a good week,
RosA # 35
That is some pretty paper for scrapping on your desk. Journaling is very important in scrapbooking, so don't put them away without it! LOL #70
Julia I like the look of your papers, don't you just hate when work interferes with crafting time, ha,ha
Have a great weekend

I would love to know why I always start off with one number and end up with a different one,
Hi Julia, sorry if I've duplicated this but tried to do it on my ipad this morning and it didn't look like it worked.
anyway love the papers on your desk, don't you just hate it when work gets in the way of crafting!!

Hi Julia, sorry I'm so late to the party this week! LOVE those cards, I would be chuffed to bits to make those at a workshop. Please come and do one near Norwich! :o) Annie C #73
Thank you for your two lovely comments, Julia. The recipe for the samosas said to brush with oil, which I did - they still didn't brown. I'm going to try filo pastry next time. Everybody laughs at our choccies in the oven! So glad you like my kitty page. It's finished now, and up on my blog. As for the stress of the dentist, you are quite right - that sort of upset really does contribute to my fatigue. I'm feeling a lot better now, though, and with this week being less busy, I'm able to pace myself. Yum Sing is now happily settled into the family and very happy to have a name at last!

Cards and paper look fun! And 30 seconds!!! Awesome! I still have to drag out the directions when I change mine! Have a great week.
