What's on my work desk

Welcome to my desk
This is how it looks at the moment, rather tidy looking for me with two of my family history albums a box of family photos and my family history info folder and a few photos that need to go back in the folder



Now that's all rather boring isn't it ? .......so I will now show you how it looked on Monday morning!



Rather a mess I think so I spent most of the bank holiday getting my craft area cleaned up.
In my defence it got like it as I have been really productive doing lots of family history Scrapbook layouts that are going to be published in Scrapbook magazine. The first part of a three part series will be on sale on June 17th or there about, it's a series that cover three editions taking you through how to scrapbook your family history in easy to follow steps with lots of photo's to explain each step. It has taken me months to put it all together so I hope people will find it helpful! ( bit scared really!!!)

At the moment I am cat sitting for my daughter , these are the three bundles of fur I am looking after!






Well that's about it for me this week....... I do believe today is the WOW anniversary and ATC'S swaps are being done, my e mail is on the right hand side of this blog and I do have half a dozen ATC's I could swap if anyone is interested that I did using my Gelli plate. For more info about this and looking at other craft desk click on the link on the right hand side marked Stamping Ground and the lovely Julia will explain all.

Thank you for taking the time to visit me ... I do try and visit people who leave a comment, but do sometimes miss the odd one here and there, so I apologise if I have ever missed you.

    I really appreciate a clean and tidy work area. I was shocked when I saw the before shot, but got a big laugh. Nice it is now cleaned up.

    Happy WOYWW4 from # 17.

    What sweet kitties and your desk is the picture of tidiness. Well done! Mine is chaos as ever but heck, that's what people have come to expect from me! Your floor, well, I'll make no comment except to say mine's worse....

    Happy 4th Birthday, WOYWW!

    It’s amazing that the internet can bring together so many likeminded people and I’m grateful that WOYWW has also brought along so many new friends, thanks to Julia.
    Your desk is looking very tidy this week but the floor gives testament to the fact that you’ve done so crafting. Loving the furry companions you’re taking care of.
    Enjoy your Wednesday snooping on this very special Day
    Happy Crafting!

    Hello Jackie, happy 4th anniversary to you :) That's an amazing transformation on your desk - you did work hard clearing up :) I'm really looking forward to the postie bringing that issue of the magazine - I could do with some ideas for my heritage layouts.

    What a tidy desk I thought...but then I scrolled down and whoosh there it all is! LOL
    Oh my Jackie, you look like you've had such a great time there. Not the tidying up obviously but all that went on before then ;D
    Those pussytats look so cosy and cute. They look like ragdolls and are very much like my daughter's cat Chole.
    Enjoy the 4th birthday desk hop and thanks for popping over to my place earlier :D

    Your "before" desk is so very consoling - it shows a lot of work is done there!!! The "after" desk isn't boring - just different - and interesting. Congrats on the publication of your hard work.

    Good to see another art and craft area that gets in a mess, before something just HAS to happen. Then it stays tidy for a little while - ah well, it's what's produced that counts! Love the heart-warming story of your daughter. I already had rheumatoid arthritis when my wife (glitterandglue) and I met, but it hasn't stopped us having a long and happy marriage (41 years next month) - she's a star!
    Keep up the good work!
