What's On Your Desk Wednesday - WOYWW 305

Afternoon Deskers and All,

Forgot today is Wednesday so I'm late (again - what's new!) for WOYWW. It's warm and sunny here so I've been out working in the garden and some little blighter has bitten me so I've retreated into the relative safety of my craft room :)

What's on my desk today? Well, I've had a bit of a tidy up session so it looks a lot clearer than last week, that's for sure. All the small containers of embellishments, etc., are now corralled into that file box - so much easier to keep control of those bits and bobs in there. Just to the left of the pack of toppers is my tea and a buttered hot cross bun left over from Easter ... I'm doing my bit for the planet because, if I don't eat it now, it will only go stale and have to be consigned to the waste bin :) To the front there's a snippet card in the planning stages with patterned papers in shades of red, snippets of white and red cardstock, some dies I may, or may not use, and the topper, chosen from that pack at the back, that I will use. And to the right is this:

I'm trying so hard not to spend on any more crafting goodies ... I'm always trying hard not to give way to temptation ... but now you see how weak-willed I am!!! This purchase is down to Helen, over at Stamping by H ... it's all her fault because last week she just happened to mention that there was a closing down sale at Stamp Attic. After I got over the shock of learning that Wendy is retiring at the end of May, I hot footed it over to make possibly my last purchase before the dreaded day, and fell by the wayside for this Tonic Daisy Border punch - it promises effortless punching power! - and the Simple Pleasures stamp from Paper Bag Studio - we have a bench just like this one in our garden ... I plan to sit on it some day, just as soon as all the weeding is done :)

I've not just one desk today ... I've taken over the EM's pool table with my scrapbook albums. They need sorting out so a large surface is called for. I've written the themes of each scrapbook on the post-its; all I need to do now is create a label for each album and I won't get them in such a muddle again ... well, that's the theory!

And here's the reason why I can take such liberties with the pool table ... the EM has donned his overalls and is painting the lounge walls. That's the second coat of Rice Cake going up as we speak.

Sorry, Julia, not quite so brief this week. I promise I'll try to do better next week. Now I'm off to check out a few desks - see what you're all up to.

In the meantime, thanks for popping in and I wish you all a great week ahead.

Happy WOYWW,
