What a glorious morning here in the southwest of the U. S. We've been getting some much needed rain, not quite as high heat, but unfortunately, lots of humidity. But enough of the weather report. Today is the day many of us crafters celebrate our desks. Yep, regardless of what our desks look like you get the opportunity to see where we work. And this is all brought together by Julia at the
Stamping Ground. She's headquartered in England and if you want more info click on one of the page tabs at the top of her blog. But now my desk.
I stepped back to give you a full view of my desk area. I have a small room, about 10' x 11' and the left outside wall is just to the left of the TV. A small (and VERY full closet is just to the right of the table. There are 2 shelves above my desk but you can't see the top one which has my Bind-It-All, large Zyron, basket with 100s of bottle tops, box of paints, and some empty containers.
The shelf on par with the TV has 2 sets of drawers of scrap paper sorted by color, a set of drawers with printed instructions of past classes, printed tutorials, who knows what. Then there's 2 bins of cards, FSJ card stocks & printed papers, then my clear shelf with tax stuff, speciality paper (like watercolor pads, vellum).
The table has my red Circut sitting on it's bin of cartridges, a large paper gazebo (I'm adding Stickles to the top that's sitting on my ATG gun, shelves of misc. stuff, my rack of ink pads, then baskets of cards semi done and crap, I mean scraps.
Under the table are 3 Iris cards of punches, ink refills, and other stuff. I have gone through and purged so much from these 3 carts but one could never tell as I reloaded them with stuff from the shelves.
Ok, that's one wall but it's where I work other than the wall with my computer.
I also want to show you a little treat box I made last Saturday at a make 'n take at a local crop sponsored by the local scrapbook store.
Here's a closer view of the embossing...
I thought I had some white flocking but didn't so used some sparkly white embossing powder. I used a black/gold mixture for the belt and silver for the buckle. A few black rhinestones and it's ready to be filled. I was told the svg pattern came from Crafts U Print.com or something like that.
Those of you from other countries, does my blog show a
notice about the use of cookies? Google told me I'm required to verify if it does. This is all new to me. Thanks! I have seen this notice on European blogs.
Ok, kind of a long post but now you've reached the end. Please head over to the
Stamping Ground to see the links of other crafters brave enough to show you their desks and projects!
