WOYWW - #90

I'm tired and need to go to bed early tonight, so I'm posting my WOYWW #90 now.  


This is what happens when you have a "day job".  These paper rosettes were made from the brand new Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die.  There are 2 sizes to make mini paper rosettes.  Pre-order yours HERE! . . .

and you try to create when you get home late at night . . . *sigh*

WOYWW #86

It's WOYWW and for those of you that don't know what that means, it's Julia Dunnit from Stamping Ground's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday!


Well this week this isn't really MY workdesk, but this is where I had a "play date" at my friend's home :) 


I brought my baked artichoke dip that we munched on while we played.  That's it back there in the white dish to the right of the distress tools . . .

And of COURSE I had to take my new Vagabond so I could show my friend how it works. We cut grungepaper, grungeboard, plastic, file folders and even some of her husband's old jeans!  LOL

We stamped and cut and using one of my favorite products by Modern Masters, we even rusted up some stuff.

We distressed with inks and DE-stressed with red wine!

Using some German Glittler Glass, I glittered up a chandelier I made out of grungeboard.  I plan to add some rhinestones and some sort of chain-type thingie at the top so it can be hung . . .  

My friend and I always have a great time playing together.  Plus, she makes the best salad in town!

Thanks for stopping by and have an art-filled remainder of the week!

WOYWW - #85

Posting my "What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday" tonight because I had a long day today and need to get some needed sleep.


I missed WOYWW last week, but you really didn't miss much over here on MY desk.  It pretty much looked the same as the week before.  This past weekend I put some things away and started working on some new stuff. 


These are some items I've been gathering up for the workshop I'll be teaching in March . . .

And these are the embossed bags I made when I only had embossing folders to run through my new Vagabond.  I have added some color to them now.  I still don't know how I will finish them off . . .

Flower Die #5 to make some grunge paper roses . . .

Trying out the bird and bird cage die . . .

I've put the calendar that Chelle made me on my work desk. I just love this easel-style calendar . . .

And Eileen is still bringing in the new year sitting on a bowl of wood laser cuts :) . . .

That's it for me on the work desk this week.  Can't wait to see what everyone else is working on!  And if you'd like to see some other work desks, be sure to hop over to Julia Dunnit's blog and check them out this week.  

Nite Nite

WOYWW - #83

I'm posting now because what I'm about to show you will not change before tomorrow morning, and Julia (WOYWW originator) lives in Wiltshire, United Kingdom, so it's already Wednesday there :)


So here it is, that time of the week to show everyone What's on your Workdesk.  


This is one of my favorite stamps/sayings and it really fits with the looks of my workdesk!  LOL . . .

A tray of rubber stamps I've been using this week . . .

Three V-day tags I made . . .

LOVE this New Year's card that my friend Eileen from New York made and sent me!  This may have to be displayed all year :) . . .

I put some new pads on my blending tools.  The other pads were looking a little raggedy . . . 

distress tool and ribbons and ink and punches and little pieces of paper and an inked paper doily . . .

Pieces for a Valentine's Day Fragment Charm Necklace I'm working on . . .

So after taking the above photos of my desk, I have now cleaned it off enough so I can play with this when I get home from work Wednesday night . . .

Yep, that's my brand spanking new Vagabond that was gifted to me by an anonymous angel for Christmas!  You can read the story HERE if you haven't already.


So WOYWW this week?  Are you in on this fun weekly "show and tell"?  Go to Julia Dunnit's blog Stamping Ground to see more work desks today and/or join in on the fun!


Post Script:  There's still room in my Charm Necklace Workshop at Stamp Fever on the 15th.

WOYWW - #82

Participating in WOYWW sure makes you realize how fast the time can just fly by! It's hard to believe that Christmas is over and there are only a few days left before the new year will be here.


So here's what's on my workdesk THIS week . . .

WIP's - "controlled doodling" girls.
i always work on more than one at a time.

a girl's gotta have her archival ink and tissue tapes

some completed birthday cards and some stamps waiting to be used

LOVE this Danelle Johnson Art Warehouse -
Limited Edition Rubber Stamp Set
and of course tim's adage tickets

figured I could use some of this on the v-day cards???

started getting out the love stamps

brayer, ink tools, embossing heat tool, the "clean up rag"
and the mini stapler

some completed atc's and some atc backgrounds
waiting in the wings

So that's it for me today.  One of these weeks this spot is going to be neat and tidy for you . . . NOT - LOL!  Now go by Julia Dunnit's blog and see what other bloggers have on THEIR workdesks this week. 


PS  There's a contest going on here on my blog.  Wanna take a try at my Earth Wind & Fire crossword puzzle?  Go HERE  Linda Hoffman is REALLY close!

It's Wednesday, December 22nd - WOYWW 81

Time is a figure eight, 
at its center the city of déjà vu. 
Robert Brault

I spot 2 tonic scissors

Sheeeesh, this workspace doesn't look too much different (or better) than it did LAST Wednesday.  Feels like déjà vu.  And what's with all the "2's"???

2 distress crackle paints & 2 color washes

2 adage ticket books

2 ring blanks in this dish

2 sides of this box (it flips) full of "th" trinkets

I didn't get all of tim's 12 Tags of Christmas completed (or in some cases even started) this year.  But I'm not beating myself up over it.  

2 (on the left) of the 12 tags of christmas completed

And did I make Christmas cards and get them in the mail?  Nope, didn't do that either - not even 2 of them!  

I AM working on some New Year's cards though - 2 wips here . . .

And I DID purchase some cards to give out at the office Christmas celebration at Dave & Buster's later this morning and I even purchased my gift for the "steal a gift" game we always play.  It's in that brown paper package tied up with string on the table.  

I thought it was just too cool!  So much so, I bought one for myself (so that makes 2).  You can see "Fun in the Fridge" Snowman in action HERE.

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Feliz Natal, Gun Tso Sun Tan'Gung Haw Sun, Kung His Hsin Nien bing Chu Shen Tan, Glædelig Jul, Hyvaa joulua, Joyeux Noel, Fröhliche Weihnachten, Mele Kalikimaka, Nollaig Shona Dhuit, Buone Feste Natalizie, Shinnen omedeto, Sung Tan Chuk Ha, God Jul, Maligayang Pasko, Pozdrevlyayu s prazdnikom Rozhdestva is Novim Godom, God Jul, Sawadee Pee Mai, Chuc Mung Giang Sinh, Vesel Bozic - thank you Cardarian :), Nollaig Chridheil - thank you Marilyn!


And if I've missed saying it in your language, please know that however it is said, I wish you a double dose (that's 2!) of the merriest of Christmas  celebrations!  And of course you can let me know how you say it too :)


And if you'd like to see some other work spaces, hop over to Stamping Ground where Julia Dunnit hosts WOYWW every week.  So tell me . . . what's on YOUR workspace this week?  

WOYWW - #80

From the photos it's no surprise what today is.  But just in case you don't know, it's WOYWW (What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday) . . .

A couple of TH tags in the making - but many more to get started . . .

Tools of the Trade . . .

See that vintage tinsel to the left?  That's one of two packages I bought from Tim's stash that he sold in his Etsy shop last week.  It was a crrrr-aaaa-zzzzy frenzy!    All of his stash packages sold out in about 3 MINUTES!!  And this is a Christmas Configuration box I've been working on that I really need to get finished!  (However, I DID get THIS one completed last Sunday) . . .

And these are some stamped and ZENtangled bookmarks/holiday tags I've been making.  I just love this craft because you can do it ANYWHERE! . . .

So tell me . . . What's on YOUR workdesk this week?

WOYWW - Wednesday, November 17th

Wednesday rolls around so quickly doesn't it?  So yes, it's already What's on Your Workspace Wednesday again.

these are on a tray beside my bed

Today my workspace - which is my BED today is filled with canvases and other "stuff" I've got scattered over the bed . . .

And because I put the two Alice in Wonderland charm necklaces in my etsy shop and they have both sold now, I am working on a couple more for the Holiday Affaire.  I originally put them in my etsy shop just to see how many "hits" I would get.  Didn't think they would sell so quickly!  Lynne from The Altered Alice bought BOTH of them . . .

I've already put together another one, so I won't put it in my etsy shop this time . . .

saving this one for the OCAM Holiday Affaire

I'm also working on my sample for the Vintage Curio workshop I will be teaching at Whimzy on Saturday, March 5th.  See the Configurations box on the right?  And I'm still working on those ZENtangle-haired girls on canvas pieces I can't seem to finish.


A few other things I HAVE finished . . .

Gotta go clean off the bed now so I won't end up sleeping on the sofa again tonight.  One day I will have a real craft room where I can leave stuff out, shut the door and not have to clean up after myself every day! *sigh*
