WOYWW 4th August

Morning everyone, it's another WOYWW, wow time flies when your having fun, or so they say.  If you are reading this and don't have a clue, pop over to our chief, Julia (who at the moment seems to have a hanker for notebooks) at the Stamping Ground and check out all the details.  If you are reading this Julia I have a hanker for all things HEARTS, be it jewellery, boxes, trinkets, stamps, clothes, so you are not alone and there is no medication for us either LOL.  Oh I love storage too, but then again there are many things I hanker for but HEARTS, STORAGE, and all things GARDEN related are the things I hanker for the most.  Anyway I digress, you are here to see my desk not listen to my waffle so here goes.....

.....neat freak is still here, and as always I have tidied after all of my craft sessions, sorry I just can't help myself and it's the only way I can work and I like to work in an organised manner.  Don't get me wrong I do make a little mess but I tidy as I go along, sorry!  Today we have a copy of the Making Cards magazine on my craft desk, which arrived yesterday as I have some artwork in there, and after all this time I'm still chuffed when any of my work is published.  At the top of my desk I have a challenge card which some of you will have already seen and there are a couple of stamps left out to remind me to use them for my next piece of art.  Then to the right we have a few scraps from a previous piece of work which I can't bear to throw away and will use on another piece soon hopefully.

To the right I have a basket which is now full of new goodies that I have not used yet.  I don't like to put my new stash away until I have used it at least once, just makes me feel better.  Problem is the pile is getting higher by the week, perhaps I need to work a bit harder and produce more cards LOL.

Further to the right are my Tim Holtz Alterations dies, my printer which has paperwork on the top which requires some action but I would rather make a card, you know how it is.

Back to the left are my paper cupboards, all that paper and I never have the colour I want, how ridiculous is that and I still need more space for more papers but my room can't take anymore cupboards, I need a bigger room LOL.

On top of my paper cupboard is a whole load of more stash.  A carousel for all my embellishments which I forget to use every time I make something.  However, I am now trying to be more organised, yes more I hear you say, well yes, and now I have purchased a notebook (note Julia a notebook LOL)  to write down all my actions, which seem to be getting longer by the day.  The idea being that I will not forget anything and in there is an on-going action to use those damn embellishments stashed on that carousel.  We will just have to see if it works but at least I'm trying.

My plant of the week this week is a BEGONIA from my garden, I don't usually like begonia's but this is the only one exception.  There is only one plant in that basket and I'm so pleased with the results.  My other good news this week is that I have been asked by Hels and Jennie to be a Guest Designer on their new Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog, I am so excited, one for the challenge and two to use some great new stamps.  You should pop over there and take a look at some fantastic artwork and great giveaways.  Well that's all from me folks this week so the only thing left to say is a big THANK YOU for all your lovely comments and to wish you all a happy Wednesday, Tracy x
