What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #228

October 16, 2013 by 14 Comments

Hello Everyone!  I hope you all are feeling happy today. If not for any other reason then the fact we get to snoop! I am feeling very happy because I am keeping my promise I made on my new blog series, Confessions of a Scrapbook Kit Hoarder and have been creating cards and my first scrapbook LO in a long time. So if you have time to snoop, please feel free to check it out and push me. My friends, April Daqa, and Ria have given me a a nudge or two. (Thanks ladies, it has been very helpful receiving your encouragement.)

On to my desk today.  Well I am working on another card and the photo back there is for another LO I will be working on soon.  Tucked next to my lamp is a few cards, one  birthday card I just entered into a card challenge. I am working on the card you see on the desk for my Etsy shop.

As you can see I still haven’t bought another Copics case for my overflow of markers. I filled the first bag quite some time ago and store the excess in these clear compartments. I am waiting for the price to go down before I make the commitment. I received my first case when I received my Copics training so I don’t feel like paying for the second myself. Don’t want to cut into my crafting budget for a storage bag. So I suffer with the inconvenience when I want to move to another room or go to crop.  Enough of my whining…

Preparing for a new blog series.

Preparing for a new blog series.

Hello Everyone! How are my crafty friends doing today?  I hope well. I have to say thank you so much to all of you who left comments last week. I promise to visit any of you that I missed this week.

I am feeling happy today. I just started working on a new blog series for this site. the name of it is, “Confessions of a Scrapbook Kit Hoarder“.  It will be so helpful for me to move me through my creative hoarding habits into a  more productive crafter while at the same time sharing my creative process with my readers.

So what you see on my desk is the beginnings of the planning process. So if you are interested in seeing if I can kick the hoarding habit, do check back on the site regularly to see the cool projects I can come up with using my kits. (Yes, that would be a shameless plug and I apologize.  However the more people that read, the more likely I will honor my commitment and create more with my kits.).

Oh and do you see my new toy in the middle of the table? I bought the WeRMemoryKeepers 3×4 punch. It cuts photos and papers to 3×4 and rounds the corners too. Perfect for the Page Protectors in my Project Life.

I am off to come visit your desks!

What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday – #223

September 11, 2013 by 11 Comments

Hi everyone!  I hope you all are well. I missed last week due to school starting for the boys and me in search of some semblance of a routine. This week is their first full week and we are slowly finding our way to structure!

Busy desk!

Busy desk!

Now that the boys are back in school I am back to my work schedule to make products for my Etsy store. I ended up taking the summer off to enjoy my family. But I am ready to get back into all my craft supplies  to play and make stuff.

On my desk you can see that I am working on a Halloween card for the shop.  You can also see  a few images I need to color up for cards.  In the middle of the desk, is a big pile of birthday cards my son received at his birthday party this weekend. I am going to make some thank you cards to go along with his theme, “Monster’s University”.  I put them there to force me to make it happen sooner rather than later, but as you will see in the next photo I shoved them to the side so I could procrastinate….

Cutting up my new rubber stamps.

Cutting up my new rubber stamps.

Because everyone knows I must cut up my new rubber stamps instead of writing ‘thank you’ cards.  I don’t remember the proper etiquette but I will get them off within two weeks. I promise…

I found some new orthodics and some shoes and my feet feel like they are actually on the mend.  Before they felt so bad I had to pop Advil every six hours. Now I might take one during the day.  So I am hopeful.

Our weather here is quite strange, just barely 70 degrees F (shamefully I can’t convert for you over the pond) and today it is suppose to get into the mid 90s. I am a fall girl. I love everything about it so I wish this nonsense would end and get on with it.

Enough of my babbling. On to more interesting things—-your lovely desks!!

Ingredients for birthday card I just made for my son, Apollo.

Ingredients for birthday card I just made for my son, Apollo.

Hello Everyone!

First let me say thank you so much for all the love you lovely ladies left on my blog last week. It was the lift I need while dealing with this foot pain.  This week’s update: I am thinking of seeing a chiropractor for pain in my back and left side that might possibly be contributing to a miss alignment hence the foot problem. My doctor is leaning towards Planter Faciatis. My inserts (not custom orthodics) don’t seem to be working so we are going try another before committing to the hefty price for custom orthodics.  I made it to many desks last week but promise to get to anyone I missed this week.

So I have a hording tendency that doesn’t allow for me to part with my newest pretty stuff.  So today I actually broke the seal on two new paper packs I have (corrugate neutrals ad The Glitzy Pastels by DCWV).

I used my Silhouette to cut out the cute balloons.

Have I said lately how much I love my Silhouette?  Well, I do and the best part is that I haven’t even scratched the surface.  I made a easel card base. I really love cutting and scoring and prepping the base.  More will definitely be made.

You can click here to see my post that has the completed card.
