This is a little different view than you have gotten before. I actually have a crafting room. I was blessed with this opportunity when our daughter moved out on her on 3 yrs ago. My workdesk is a metal 6ft table that my husband got for me. He built the L you see that my notepad and ATG gun rests on. The red snowflake shaped paper was the result of some attempts to make a shaped card that wasn't square or rectangular. It took several tries but I finally made something I was happy with using this snowflake diecut. It's actually sitting in the middle of my desk on my cutting mat. I will post a better pic of it another day. I have been working on several cards for some card challenges. The black and green tote with a Pro Glider adhesive gun is my travel caddy that I take all my basic tools to crops and classes at the store. I tend to leave all my items in it so its always ready to go. I love my crafting room but I also love the friendships I've developed through crops and classes at the store so I try to keep myself mobile.
Ok before I get too windy....hop on over to Julia's Stamping Ground where you will find MANY crafters, artists, quilters, painters, etc. Go ahead take a trip around the world right from your computer.
Have a good one!
your desk is fabulous - lucky you!! and so is the crafty arty stuff on it! have a good week, helen #33
ReplyDeleteNow that is how a desk should look: crafty, arty, inspirational and just plain fun. And don't worry about the visiting; we all do what we can and accept that others do the same. Some weeks I'm lucky if I can respond to everyone who leaves a comment, even when there are only 3 comments!
ReplyDeleteHave fun,
cheers, rachel #19
You certainly have lots of great crafty things on your desk. Love the snowflake. I can never get around to everyone, I have to allocate times and visit as many as I can in those times. We all understand that it isn't always possible to visit everyone.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Love the snowflake cut out. It's so good to have a dedicated room in which to craft - I'm fortunate enough to have that too. Thanks for the opportunity of having a peep at your workspace - trying to make a few visits early this week! Hazel, WOYWW #87 x
ReplyDeleteFabulous desk.

I visit who I can, and don't stress about the ones I don't get to, I can only do my best in the time I have to get round to all the desks and we seem to be growing in number each week...
ReplyDeleteLove your busy desk and lucky you to get a room to yourself. I have one too and know how wonderful it is to be able to leave a mess if you need to...
PS: I am Belinda Basson No 85 - I keep forgetting this bit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments on my post. You have a great workspace. I have a craft room too, nice and big, but now it's packed with stuff and I work at the dining room table. That's bad, but now I am summer break, so hopefully I can move back upstairs. Barb
ReplyDeleteI don't stress about the visiting either, I try and visit everyone who comes to see me, and I have a few I always like to look at and then a few just randomly picked. I feel sorry for Julia trying to get to everyone each week! I'm assuming you live in the South somewhere if you are used to hot temps, I don't think I could get used to triple digits all summer! I wish I could have taken the goose home with me as a pet but I think he might get a bit messy!!

Hey Valerie! Now that's a busy desk this week!! Ha, ha. I'm attempting a shaped card too. There's no way you can visit everyone on WOYWW!! At least I've never been able to. I try to visit the ones that visit me plus 3 or 4 before and after me in the linky list. Love all that's going on at your workdesk!
ReplyDeleteno one expects you to visit every one, thank you for visiting me, I try to return my visitors with a visit
ReplyDeletei visit my 'regulars' who come see me every time I blog, not just weds, and then I pick a few at random, mostly I snoop desks that have lots of stuff on them...

Great workspace. You're right, not enough time to visit everyone, I'm making a special effort to try and get round everyone today because its my birthday, the sun is shining and I'm sat in the back garden doing nothing all day!

I agree! I love the friendships I have developed through on-line scrapbooking. And now I am adding WOYWW to the list! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to visit everyone. And since I am so new, I usually go back to the previous Wednesday and visit everyone I had comments from that day. Then go through the list and find any other names I recognize. Then I saw the a great tip from someone who visits everyone that has the same last number as her. So for me this week, it would be all the three's :)
Busy desk Valerie, loads going on! I posted the book today, it should take about a week to get to the USA. I can never get myself out to crops and the like, glad you like to though. BJ#47
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there's lots of crafty fun happening on your desk!! I love the snowflake card! What an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteYay for finding the badge!! It's on top of my Gypsy. The Gypsy is a hand held machine that works with the Cricut die cutting machine. I use it ALL the time!!

Very crafty desk this week. And you did remind me that I need more foam tape. Thanks- dani22
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie! Oh I find WOYWWers are a forgiving lot! I love the community Julia started and I've been posting for about 3 years now! Just missed one (when i was in the boondocks!) Sometimes I start visiting from the bottom number! patsy
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Valerie. You're so sweet! It is a wonderful community and I, too, find I'm spending hours and hours reading all the other wonderful blogs out there and not doing as much crafting as I'd like in my Playhouse. I guess eventually you just have to find a balance that works for you. I, too, return visits and then start first with the numbers whose last digit matches mine and then it's hit or miss after that. Have a great week! Darnell #45
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks busy and very creative Valerie,
ReplyDeleteYou look like you're having fun.
I too stress about not visiting everyone...but I make sure I visit everyone who visits me and then as many as I can during the week...whenever the time allows.
I think the numbers are growing each week so it's not possible some weeks.
Have fun and thanks for visiting my space. Neesie #26
Great looking desk that looks both busy and creative. I have been reading about these DH building desks etc on several blogs today and I am envious cause mine doesn't do much building of anything but has other redeeming qualities. Thanks for the comment on my blog post and yes it is a Stampin Up storage box. I bought some of all three sizes to hold my dies. Have a great week. Vickie #23
ReplyDeleteHi there Valerie, yes not tips on getting around folks sorry as the time seems never to wait for one does it?? Thanks so much for popping over and thanks for sharing ~ happy WOYWW! Shaz in Oz. x #25
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting things to see there...
ReplyDeleteThe red doily looks like a wee bit of fun.
Oh my heck. I still had the comment from you in my inbox, but it ended up on page 2!! I am sorry that my visit is late!!! Awesome stuff going on. Very creative!!
ReplyDeletexxDaniella#167
happy WOYWW! i've given up on visiting everyone on WOYWW since I wouldn't get anyhting else done if i did. i think everyone understands that life always gets in the way. very nice for you to have a craft room all to yourself!
ReplyDeletehugs, #15 peggy aplSEEDS
I love your desk it is full of creativity in action and that is good. I really love the white caddy on your desk and have seen some on others desks too and I would like to know where you got it from if that is ok.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy crafting week.
Eliza #163
Super space you have there, I've a room too but it's not as functional as yours with the lovely L shape. Mines a mix of different desks and units! Take care, am snooping still on Sunday, late but determined to get round more than I have for a few weeks! Zo xx 73
ReplyDeleteYour desk is creatively organised.Aren't we lucky bunnies to have a special space to play on/in?!!
