It's Wednesday again and so it must be time to join Julia to share the contents of our workdesk. Once again, my kitchen table is in need of a good tidy up (regular readers will be spotting a theme here). I really must get in the habit of tidying up one project before starting another.
So on the table of shame today you can see a project that I've been working on for a challenge which has involved getting very messy. To the left, perilously close to the paint is a beautiful English Garden 12x12 paper pad that I actually managed to cut into to make a card, which is balancing on top of my cut n boss waiting to go into an envelope and into the post. On top of the paper pad to the left is an mdf storage unit that I bought at the weekend (I forgot to confess about that on my shopping spree!) I glued it together yesterday but need to think about how to decorate it.
Apologies if I don't get round to commenting on your blog straight away or if my comments are brief. My GP has increased my morphine, but I'm still suffering from my brilliant crafting weekend and typing makes my shoulder throb! I hope you all have a wonderful creative week x

Hi Cara you look very organised on your desk. Not at all like my tip!
ReplyDeleteThanks for you comment about not being old enough to have a 17 year old, unfortunately I am so. ;) In fact one of the girls I work with who is about 8 years younger than me is a granny!! Scary. I have a few friends now who are Granny's, what can I say I was a late starter, too busy having fun!
Enjoy your Wednesday, hugs Erika. x
Love the look of that project you are working on... Looking forward to seeing that finished.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha! You really made me laugh. So funny how we forget to 'fess up to purchases made, eh? that looks a really useful item though.
Hope your pain is under control soon.
Sending you a crafty hug.

The project looks interesting! What I can see of the paper pad looks pretty and I love the storage unit. Now where will you fit that in.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you feeling the consequences of your fab weekend Cara. I hope a rest together with the meds will help you feel much better. Barbxx
Now THAT looks like the kind of desk I want to play (I mean CRAFT) at!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Oh, and SORRRRRRRRRY for the ear worm! Sniggering here! xxx
ReplyDeleteif commenting causes pain, give yourself a break and don't, we understand! I love that this is your kitchen table...hard to tell! I'm completely over the problem of using or cutting not stuff, it's taken about 10 years, so be ready! I have an MDF holder to do too - even got specific papers to cover it etc. Its a year old. I take it to every crop. I still haven't done it. Inspire me, do!
ReplyDeleteI'm another who has a hoard of paper that I'm saving 'for something special', lol. I am now making myself use it- how silly we are. Totally understand how morphine makes you feel- been there, done that. Look after yourself- just browse at the blogs, don't comment if you don't feel up to it, we do all understand, honestly! Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #19xxx
ReplyDeleteI love reading any comments if only saying hi. But don't rush and don't cause pain. Take it easy!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

Hehe Cara I guess this is how all our desks look when our creativity peaks!!
ReplyDeletePs : I am having a celebration on my blog with prizes...would love to have you join in.Here is the link : 5 Million Page-views Celebration
I also have trouble using those wonderful paperpads, sometimes I'm rather a collector then a crafter. Happy WOYWW, Vicky#9
ReplyDeleteYour table looks wonderfully creative. I have a habit of piling things up - that's how I broke my paper cutter!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can manage your pain soon.
Have a great week

Hi Cara. Looks like you are really busy. Tidy up before going on to the next project?? Golly, if only!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Okay, I have to ask... though I am guilty of the same :-)... what fun would cleaning up between projects be? Looks like you've been busy. Creative Blessings! Kelly #53
ReplyDeleteGreetings Cara, looks like you have lots of fun craft items on your desk.
ReplyDeleteHugs diane
This is fun, I like all the different things on your desk. Love the x2 mdf units, what is the smaller one for? I hoard paper too, but for 13mths I have been on a paper amnesty. I cannot buy paper, I have not bought paper for 13mths..but still my paper stash is not getting smaller!! Cx #51
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a Happy desk to me!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about cutting into beautiful 12X12 papers! It's almost painful! The mdf unit looks like it will be very useful! I could populate that in no time! Will be on the look-out to see how you decorate it! Thanks for visiting earlier! Have lovely week! zsuzsa #41

ReplyDeleteLots to see on your desk, I'm a glutton for storage projects so the mdf unit really appeals.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see that I'm not the only one ends up working on 2 inches of desk ;)
