What's On Your Workdesk?

By
Hello crafters - please forgive me it's been one week since my last post. Have been away though and had a lovely break.
Came back to find out that my kids had had another party in my absence - didn't come back to as much devestation as last time but even so - where has all the discipline gone?????? And don't get me started on what their father was doing allowing it to happen!
O.K. rant over - I am now cool and calm and ready to begin crafting again.
I found a blog a while ago - Stamping Ground where crafters post pictures of their workdesks - so here is mine:

This is very organised and tidy for me! My Stampin' Up order from Rosie arrived yesterday so that is my top priority today - I did have a quick play with the 'Bird on a Branch' set and I have now moved on to the 'Greenhouse Garden'. I am going to try doing a masking technique with post it notes.
Also on my desk are a few ATC's I received that are waiting to be put away and a pile of cards from the girls in my craft club. I set them a challenge and now I have to pick a winner which is going to difficult as they are all very good.
I am also working on ditressing a couple of pieces of leather that I want to put on to a notebook I have made and if you look closely you will see my cup of tea - I am never very far away from a cup of tea!
Hope you found this interesting - please pop back again soon and take a look at the finished projects. Thanks for looking - Jacqueline xx.

    I am not looking forward to the "party" stage. My daughter knew better - but I think my son may be a different story!! He is 11 - so, only a few years away from parties. (sigh)
    I love the mirror image card. It caught my eye right away.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
