What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #200

The happenings on my desk.

Hello Everyone!  Happy Wednesday!  Today I cracked open a new Cricuit cartridge I bought recently and boy am I a happy girl.  I got lost cutting up some cards.  This one is called Creative Cards and to be honest, I wasn’t so impressed with the cover cards but a good crafter always knows you can make things your own. So I can see endless possibilities using this cartridge. I haven’t assembled them yet because I had to get Apollo out of school early today to go to the dentist and then he was home and required some supervision.  But I will share some cards as I complete them.

On the left of my desk you can see a new Basic Grey paper pad called “Bowties”. I am always on the hunt for nice masculine papers. The colors in this one is are very vibrant and there is one with vintage cars that I simply have to use.  Underneath it is the such a cute frame I bought on clearance at Home Goods.  I need to print our family Easter picture and will put it in it for my craft room. Oh and you can see a new water bottle. It is suppose to filter regular tap water but I still run the water through my Brita filter before putting it in this bottle. Kinda defeating the purpose you say? Yes indeed.

Near the back are some really $1 cute wooden pieces I bought at Michaels. I plan on using the bird and flower on some garden albums. You can also see my Easter basket I made for myself (yup, I said me.) I put my jelly beans in it.

Wooden goodies I got for a dollar each at Michael's.

Near my lamp, you will see a stinkin’ (yes, I said stinkin’) Jury Summons.  I am being called for Jury duty in June. I think I am the most unlucky when it comes to this. I have gone more than my fair share. I am however, very blessed that I did not have to actually serve on a jury. I just typically get stuck in a room with a “interesting” mix of people.

Anyway that is me for today. Provided, no medical emergencies, I will have time to snoop on some desks.

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #196

Hi Friends!

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are all doing well. I am feeling pretty happy today, I completed a project I have been meaning to do for a few weeks – creating a 2013 vision board.  Not only did I complete it but I had so much fun getting messy.

So I cut out all my photos from some magazines and printed up some images from Pinterest and then it was play time. I really enjoyed all the glue on my fingers. I have always loved the concept of  a vision board but never made the time to create one.  I have a place in mind that I would like to put it in my craft room so I can see it each day and have a visual reminder of my plans for 2013.

I am going to keep this short but will begin some snooping in the afternoon after work.  Thank you to all of you that took the time to comment last week. It always puts a smile on my face.

A quick close up of my desk today.

Hello my people!  How are you?  Once again the week flew by, vacation is over and the boys are back in school.  So back to work for me.

I have been saying I need to work on my coloring more but when I look back at my last few WOYWW posts, I realize I actually am coloring.  Today I was playing around with some Easter images and practicing  adding grasses, grounds and sky to my images.  It is official, I need another Copic case. I have filled the little one I have and sitting with the decision of whether I buy another 72-pen case or go for the gusto and buy the big one. My dilema is that I like this size when I go to crops, It fits nice on my work table without taking so much space but I know I will continue buying markers so I better figure it out. I am open to any thoughts.

Scrappymo asked me last week for a wider shot of my desk. So I held breath and stepped back today so you can see a little more of my craft room.

Yes, my favorite color is green hence the wall color. I love my desk. I bought it because it has such a large work surface. Ask me when is the last time I saw all that surface.  Take a look and you have your answer!

I also completed a card for a contest but just missed the deadline. You can see it here in another post.

Well I have some appointments in the morning but plan on snooping around the globe at your desks in the evening and over the next few days.

Hey girls (and guys)!  I hope it’s not cheatin’ if the picture is actually taken on Tuesday. I would like to think I am an efficient crafter but let’s face it, I’m not and things can drag on for days!! So my confession – it’s Tuesday when I write most of my posts and take the pictures. With the time difference it is the only way to make it on the list at Julia’s and hope for visits. So that’s my little secret!

A little bit of this and a little bit of that!

Two weeks in a row with the white desktop showing thru, I am rather impressed with myself.  However, the rest of my craft room needs some TLC.  On the left is my new Crafter’s Companion case I am decorating. It holds all my yummy Die-namics dies.  Love it.  Some Tim Holtz hangers I plan to use on an upcoming project, my favorite tea mug with a drop left of this new echinacea tea.  Oh my newest fiskars’ punches. One is a butterfly and the other is a ticket punch. I truly can’t wait to play with them.

I completed two more cards yesterday. One for a dear friend and one for  my shop.  As you can see I am in the middle of a coloring session. Love my Copics and love my stamps. These images are Gorjuss girls.

My current  coloring session!

You can also see some of newest paper pads. I love seeing them lay out this way, very inspiring.   Oh and you can see some of my Easter dies peeking from the bottom of the image.
