Good morning my crafty WOYWW friends! For those of you that aren’t familiar with WOYWW (What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday), head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday where we get to snoop on other crafter’s desks.
My goal is to try to stick to participating every other Wednesday. I have unsuccessfully attempted this in the past but I thought I would try again. So here I am.
This morning’s desk is filled with one of my new stamp set’s coordinating dies. In the past, I never bought the coordinating dies because they forced me to reach deeper into my wallet and I figured I could just fussy cut the stamped images out when needed. Fast forward to today, and I still hesitate but depending on the complexity of the shapes I will cave and buy the dies. They make the process more efficient and this year I need more efficiency with production.
In preparation, I am using my wire cutters to cut out the dies so that I can use them. I tested one out on an image I colored up on my recent crop. My old faithful Cuttlebug is on the left. The postcard in the middle of the lady reading and sipping tea is from Russia. To the right, is my first attempt at a new color combination for sunflowers with my Copic markers. The one to the left is watercolored with my new watercolor set from Altenew. My brand new coloring book that arrived yesterday is in my inbox on the far right.
Today is a shorter work day because my oldest has a half day so I am working as efficient as possible. So pardon me and I will be sure to visit some desks tomorrow.
Have a crafty day!

II have a dear friend that is blessed with the opportunities to go to Disney World. She knows my favorite princess is Tiana, which is the only African American princess created by Disney. I have collected a few of her dolls and other items. But my point that I am going for is that now I have a real African American princess to adore.
But I digress. Let’s stop the gushing and talk about my desk. Check it out! I have the completed page I started last week. Ha…I actually finished it to share! I think WOYWW helps on the accountability pressure!! Other items are this beautiful tea themed dies set I bought from my girlfriend over a year ago. Actually maybe longer. I hardly used it to so I was thinking I need to play with it. I am still loving my little tray to hold the colored pencils I use for a page. Lately, I leave my big case on the shelf once I have selected my colors and it makes for less clutter on my desk while I color.
On the left is the edge of my bullet journal (it’s turquoise). I just started using it this year instead of a planner. I am really loving the full flexibility and I am not at all upset that I fit half a year in this one so I ordered another, same color to finish off the second half of the year. I also journal in it which I believe led to more space needed but I like having everything in one place and I keep it simple so it’s fun to return to rather than a chore.
