Happy Wednesday and happy WOYWW! Why am I sharing my work desk with you? It’s all part of the WOYWW linkage. Take a peek into the crafty areas of many deskers around the world. 

There’s not much on mine except some Sweet Tarts and a rainbow Valentine’s Day shaker card. I just finished the live FB event so my desk was pretty clear!

Be sure to click over to Stamping Ground to check out more desks!

See you next Wednesday!

TGIF; Thankful Friday #206

Happy Friday and happy another week to be thankful! This week I’m thankful for the time I’ve been able to spend with my hubby and granddaughters. I go back to work next week after being home on disability for 12 weeks!

It’s gonna be hard to get up and ready for work!

I took these pix while we were blowing bubbles! She found these crowns so we all wore them all day.

Let me know what you’re thankful for this week by leaving a comment below.

Happy WOYWW! I’m showing off my work area today as part of the weekly linkage on Stamping Ground. This is a photo of my desk as I’m taking photos of some cards for both a challenge and my Monthly Card Kit.

I bought that paper roll at a teacher supply store. It’s for bulletin boards and it’s perfect for photo backgrounds. I also have one that is white wood grain.

Hello there and happy WOYWW! Wow, I haven’t shared my desk in a long time. It’s good to be back and I’m excited to peek into everyone’s crafty desks.

My work area:

I’m not working now due to hand surgery to repair a cut tendon on my right pinky finger. I cut it very bad while carving a pumpkin for Halloween. 

It’s getting better and stronger every day but it’s still not back to normal. It’s been a struggle for sure.

I’ve been going nuts not being able to do much so I fiddle around with small projects without putting pressure to complete them on any kind of hurry. I have made some adjustments and de-stashing in the craft room but mostly sitting in my chair watching YouTube videos!

Be sure to click to the Stamping Ground site and visit other desks!

Happy Wednesday and Happy WOYWW! I have some time this morning and needed to post this photo of my desk. Why, you ask...  I'm adding a photo of what my desk looks like as part of a ongoing linkage at Stamping Ground. Take a peek. You'll get to see what others are working on - it's so much fun! 

Here's my desk:

I'm sad because my cute red/black polka dot scissors are in its last stages of use. These are cheap-o's that I bought at Walmart, but I love them.

Those super cute gnome cards were made over the weekend and the stamp are from Close To My Heart (CTMH). My friend bought them so I stamped out a bunch on white cardstock. I used watercolor pencils and a water brush to color them in. I love them so much! They are so cute and guess what? I placed an order for them! I didn't think I needed them until I used them. Ok, ok...I guess I don't really need them, but they are super cute and I definitely WANT them. LOL

The other card towards the top is for the current Monthly Card Kit that I offer.

Happy Wednesday folks and Happy WOYWW! It's been a long time since I posted a photo of my desk. I was out of town and mostly I just kept forgetting. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer heat.

Why am I sharing my desk? Click over to Stamping Ground and read all about the multiple year linkage that Julia started 12 years ago - share your desk/work area on Wednesdays - it doesn't get any easier than that!

Here's mine:

It's not too bad since I "sort of" cleaned the general work area to work on the zippered case. (I'll be posting a YouTube video soon on this project.) I added patterned vinyl on it and plan on using this Dollar Tree purchase as a purse organizer. My big tote of a purse was getting so messy & full, it needed some sort of organizer. I didn't take a before photo...but here's the after:

So organized!

Anyhow, be sure to click on over to Stamping Ground to check out other desks and post a photo on your blog and add it to the linkage.

I am looking forward to checking them out too!

It's been awhile since I shared my desk on WOYWW. I've been busy crafting and living life and just keep forgetting. This time I set a reminder so I wouldn't forget. LOL

So happy "What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday" to you. Click on over to the Stamping Ground website where Julia's been hosting this Wednesday linkage for years! It's nice to take a peek into everyone's craft spaces and be inspired by their work and their lives.

Here's my desk - semi-cleared off since I am working on centerpieces for a 3rd birthday party and need lots of room. I purchased 3D number SVGs to cut the pieces with my Cricut. I'll show the final project once I'm all done. It's strange, Cricut Design Space has 3D letters but not numbers. But the SVG was not very expensive so I'm not too upset about it.

I'm excited about these centerpieces because I can see how I can do something similar for any occasion that involves a number.

Be sure to click on over to Julia's blog to see more desks and to link a photo of your workspace too.

Happy Wednesday and Happy WOYWW! I didn't want to go another week without joining the linkage at Stamping Ground. Every week, a bunch of crafters link a photo of their work desk and share a little about what they are currently working on.

Here's my desk for the week:

I'm working on a bridal shower and wedding card for a friend. It's a nice relief from all the sympathy cards I've been making. I love the succulent stamp set that I have from Fun Stampers Journey/Spellbinders. I added some glitter mist to the colored images to give them a little shine!

When you get a chance, click on over to Stamping Ground and take a peek into other craft rooms and if you feel like it, link a photo of yours too!

WOYWW #617

Boy, I'm late to post this, but I did take a photo of my desk so I thought I'd share it with you. Why, you ask? It's Wednesday and that means it's WOYWW (What's On Your Work Desk Wednesday) and many deskers share what's on their desk or work area. Click on over to Stamping Ground blog, take a peek into the different craft areas and be inspired or just nosey! 

My desk this morning:

It was very clear since last night I did my first Facebook Live event (that's why you can see my gooseneck phone holder on the right). I'm starting a "craft with me" monthly card kit and did a trial run with a few selected friends and family. Went well, by the way!

Right after I came down from my buzz of the event, I remembered that a friend asked me to make a sympathy card. So the items left on my desk are from the card.

Have a great week!

WOYWW #616

Happy Wednesday and Happy WOYWW! I've been really busy in the Command Center lately although my desk looks pretty clean. I just finished a Month in Review layout for October, 2019. I love the idea of Month in Review layouts since there are many things happening that don't necessarily require more than one photo or an entire layout.

I completed the layout using a sketch for the Sketch n Scrap DT that I'm on so I'll be showing it later but here's the paper pad that I used for it and my work area:

Happy WOYWW! Click over to the Stamping Ground blog to read more about WOYWW and to take a peek into others' craft rooms/areas.

Mine for the week:

I had a lot of fun stamping and trying new techniques over the weekend and it spilled out through the week. So fun!

Here's a close up of the card on my desk. I decided to make it a 3D flower bouquet by stamping the image 3x. Well, the 2nd and 3rd stamp concentrated on the flowers not the boot. I colored and then fussy cut the whole set of flowers with the exception of the top right and the 3rd stamp, I only cut out the front right flower.

I had to add the beige color around the edge since the marker dropped and left a mark on the white cardstock. And as an afterthought, I decided to stamp the paisley background stamp around it. Cute, huh?!

I was able to get my first vaccination shot on Monday. My arms a little sore, but it's not bad.

I hope you have a creative week!

WOYWW #613

Happy Wednesday and Happy WOYWW! I'm working on so many projects and trying to continue posting videos on my YouTube channel. Who knew it was so much work! Fun work, albeit, but still work!

My desk today:

I finally finished a layout using the cut out circle that I posted about almost a year ago HERE. I love the way it turned out and I was able to use lots of scraps when adding color in those small cut out areas. If you want to see a better photo of the finished layout, scroll down...I just posted it yesterday!

On the lower left, is a peek at the premier card for a Monthly Card Kit that I'm starting. You can read more about that too by clicking on the Monthly Card Kit tab on the homepage.

Happy Wednesday and Happy WOYWW!

I was able to show off my work desk last week, but I'm back this week! I'm creating a lot of cards and trying to catch up with my scrapbooking and my desk sure does show how busy I've been.

Why am I showing off my desk? Click on over to the Stamping Ground blog by Miss Julia and read all about it. While you're there, check out other deskers and link a photo of your work area too!

It's a lot of fun peeking into other craft rooms from all over the world!

I'm having a lot of fun creating badges (jpg images) for my regular posts like the TGIF; Thankful Friday posts I do every Friday and also my upcoming monthly card kit posts (I'll share more about this later). 

Have a great week!

WOYWW #610

Hello Wednesday and hello WOYWW! Today I get to share a photo of my work area...why, you ask? Check out the Stamping Ground and read all about it.

My desk:

I've been working a lot on challenge projects and still trying to complete 2019 scrapbooking layouts. With Valentine's Day projects and the layouts I'm working on now, I feel like pink has exploded all over my work area. Good news though, I'm getting rid of pretty much all my pink scraps! And I have been clearing the main work area between projects.

Be sure to click on over to Stamping Ground to check out other desks and link yours too. If you don't have a blog, there is a #WOYWW tag for IG. No need to tidy up!

See you next week! 

WOYWW #609

Hello and Happy Wednesday a.k.a. WOYWW!

I’m working on Valentine’s Day cards and tags and my desk sure does reflect it:

Last week I literally said out loud that I don’t have any Valentine’s Day products and last night I remembered that I had a 6x6 pad and while looking for that, I found THREE sets of Valentine’s/Love paper packs along with lots of embellishments to go with them. I have no idea why I didn’t look under my “LOVE” category last week...but here they are!

So why am I showing off a photo of my desk? Click on over to Stamping Ground to read more about this over 11 year linkage and take a peek at the other deskers!  Have a great week!!

So 
 

WOYWW #607

Good morning! Today I’m sharing my work desk as part of the WOYWW linkage over at Stamping Ground.  This is post #607 for Miss Julia - pretty amazing to see desks from all over the globe. Check it out!

My desk:

I’m working on a mug for my daughter-in-law’s business and this is my photo set up. It’s hard taking pictures of glasses due to their clear nature, but I think I did ok.

Today is a historic day for the US and I for one as so excited to be rid of the old and start with the new!

Have a fabulous week!
