You can see Jan on my phone, we had a lovely video chat whilst I tidied up after the little album caused me to make an incredible mess. That’s done and will be posted today, so whilst chatting, I staged and snapped this pic because I thought I might start on something else and make another mess and then I wouldn’t have evidence of a clear up in between! You can see some new stamps that Neet caused me to buy out of sheer FOMO. So the stash diet lasted 27 days. Hmmm. Although, as stamps, these weren’t necessarily on the diet list, that was and remains about scrapbooking stuff. That black thing on the floor at left is my scissor sharpener, and like so many things, I’ve only noticed it because I took a photo! As I won’t get to my desk again this week because of month end and loads of diary stuff, please let me be vicariously crafting by showing me what you’re up to. Grand!Wednesday, 1 February 2023
What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 713
Skidding into February with a late one, so sorry. I scheduled it and it says it’s published, but clearly it hasn’t, so I must have done something wrong….thanks to LLJ for fielding messages whilst I was out delivering the van for MOT! Chilly first thing I can tell you. Anyway….You can see Jan on my phone, we had a lovely video chat whilst I tidied up after the little album caused me to make an incredible mess.

Well I did wonder when you might arrive! MOTs can't wait, can they? And so LLJ to the rescue! She is a star. In perhaps the most shocking turn up, I have already visited 95% of the desks and commented on all I could. Feeling quite happy with myself after my poor showing last week. Neet tempts me so often, and I wonder if the stamps might also be digi? I am much more in that wheelhouse nowadays than the inky where-to--store-it-all one. Funny how an extra person+cat eats up space...
Happy WOYWW Early for a change!

Oops! Reading your post and the comment above I am in the dog house spending wise. Sorry, am I classed as a temptress or an enabler?
Bet you get something made with your long legged girls before I do. Mine are still in a box somewhere on the end of an empty craft counter.
Glad you got the MOT sorted and we are able to link up, I must admit I was getting a little worried about you.
Hope you get to your crafting early next week to relieve the boredom of the end of month stuff.
Hugs, Neet 3 xx
Yes, Neet the enabler! Lol, there are SO many on here!! Hope the MOT goes ok and brilliant that Jan fielded people, proper team work.

Desperately looking for Jan on your phone but no can't find her/it/them! Had a bad night, was awake in silly hours for hours and real glad I didn't turn the PC on earlier to post and even more glad you're late so I'm not at the end of the list - horrah. Love the tidy desk and glad you captured the "moment", I'm not partial to stamps so I'm saved LOL. Think I have enough Basic Grey and other papers to last me a lifetime after my splurge last Summer from Kraft Crazy. Hope the MOT is successful, happy WOYWW BJ#4
Lovely neat desk and fab stamps - I find it hard to resist some of the goodies I see on the desks, but I'm really trying hard to use my unused stash - saying that I can never resist anything Lavinia!
Hope you have a good week,
Diana xx #8
No worries! Hope the van MOT goes well and cheaply! It was fun having a catch up and it’s amazing what we can achieve during two hours’ waffle, I finished sewing up the strips blanket yay!
Hugs LLJ xxxx
Better late than never my friend...just glad all’s ok. I’ve actually put 10 zips in while I was waiting so my time hasn’t been wasted lol. Have fun this week.
Hugs,

Nope! I have looked and looked and I can’t see your phone, let alone Jan on it! Glad everything is okay Julia. We were quite concerned for you this morning - “something’s amiss” said my husband - to which my mind answered “the game’s afoot” 🤣🤣. I think everyone loves a good spend on craft stuff. I have £40 of stuff in a basket while I deliberate - will I really use that die? Do I really need more stencils? Have a great week. Angela #1
Hello!
I can think of better things to do first thing in the morning!
I love Vera Lane digis, I buy them as she creates them but only have one actual stamp . . . don't know how I come to buy it!
have an enjoyable week although it will be hard on brain and body . . . . coffee and the occasional hot chocolate might help!

Glad all is well - techy stuff is always causing me confusion these days! Hope the MOT goes well for you. Nice to have video chat with LLJ. Enjoy your crafty stuff. x x Jo
Glad to see you now...I posted before I went to aquarobics and kept checking - but then had dinner and forgot!! Anyway happy WOYWW!
You are not late! its only 6am here! (it's WOYWW somewhere!) Stash diet Ha HA! My rule is nothing can combine unless something goes out! I must take a bag to the thrift shop to buy anything. Onward and upward! Robyn 19
Thanks to Jan for adding me . The desk looks very tidy and I'm glad it's not just me spending . Great to see Jan too !! Happy woyww
Hi Julia, I was getting worried about you and pleased to see you here. Some nice person has linked me in, many thanks to whoever it was as I had to go and walk the dogs as they have no interest in crafting or blogging unless you can eat it Lol! That is an intersting word Julia that you used, vicariously and it set me thinking that it's one of the good things that we all gain from being part of this great family often leading to even more creativity. Hope you manage to get back to your desk soon. Sending hugs and wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x9x
Good morning!
Yep, it's me. I'm not sure how regular, but I'm back. As to your scheduled post vanishing... I've had that happen quite a bit in the past couple of weeks. frustrating! But tiny issue in the grand scheme of things. Love the play and what a lovely chat with Jan you must have had. Creative Blessings, Kelly! #20
Hi. Very late getting on. I have not bought anything crafty in Feb lol.
I tried to do dry January. Made it until 28th when we went to our son's for dinner. That marked the end. :-)

27 days is a good length of time for a diet Julia lol. Have fun with the new stamps once all the month end stuff is sorted. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #7
I love the stuff on your table Julia, I planned a trip to a craftfair in March and can't wait to buy me some new things, I might even find some nice alphabet stamps... I'm not on a diet but didn't buy new stuff in a while. I'm glad Jan informed you about the post since I don't join WOYWW that much anymore, the one time I do you weren't there... I checked your blog on my laptop at work in my coffee-breaks and thank god you arrived at last! And now it's my free day, so off to visit the deskers.. enjoy your day! Hug from Holland, Marit #15
Hey Julia, popping back in to let you know you can create whatever you want. The only stipulation is the colors must be included. You can add other colors as well. I also pull a stick each Wednesday with a suggested item to make. You can make an entire journal, a card, elements for a future project... I just want you to have fun. I'll talk about it more on Wednesday. Creative Blessings! Kelly
