What's on my work desk Wednesday

All cleaned sorted out and almost empty it was...............




Then I started crafting on it again!!!
Just incase you don't believe me here is a picture of the before



And then after....



So you can see I did clear it all away and tidy up!

Well back to how my desk is now.....



On the left is some canvas paper I have sprayed with Dylusions inks, then in the middle is a door hanger I have painted pink as a base coat, here it is up close,



Behind it is a project I was doing on glossy card, here it is up close. There are some step by step details of this in the post above Showing second and third generation stamping!



Over to the right are three little wooden houses, I showed one last week saying I was having a think about what to do with it,I have now stained one of them and started on it, I will show you once it is finished ! To the right are some stamped Stampotique images I am planning on colouring in and a little ATC folder full of ATC's I have swapped. That in mind I must start making some ready for our 5th year ATC swap coming up, I will try and make a few to swap!
It has been a rather busy week with family and friends and cooking, organising and hosting a baby shower for my daughter

    Love your 'now you see it, now you dont' desk this week. I try to tidy after crafting but am more likely to walk out and shut the door on it. Keep peeping back in to see if the craft room fairies gave tidied it all away in my absence but never happens.

    D'aww, look at that cute cake! How pretty is that? I bet the shower was such a happy occasion..after all the ups and downs you and your girl have been through.
    I love those houses...have always had a soft spot for things that you can store gorgeous little things in!
    And yes please to the lavender, Jackie. I'm making quite a few bags as little fundraisers for our band so it would help tremendously :-)

    another fan of before and afters! Didn't you do well? I love that image too - reminds me I really should get some new Stampotique images, but in fairness my desk is littered with a tom of stamps, and I was just telling myself if I never buy another I can stamp till kingdom come and probably not miss out....It'll never last....

    Happy WOYWW!

    I like to leave out the middle man and just never clean up my desk, saves a step (he he). You've sure done a lot of wonderful things this week. Love that cake.
    Have a great week,

    Great clean up! I'm afraid I'm not moving that fast this time around. Too many lifeinterrumptous happenings. Seems everybody's life picks up the pace around this time of year.

    Did you make the darling shower cake?

    Thanks for the earlier visit

    Before and after photos are always fun. Like where you've been and where you're going!

    Your photos illustrate a point I make frequently: It's ok that the desk is a mess, because the mess is ever changing. Progress is being made!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the nice comments.

    Happy Woyww,

    Hi Jackie,
    I like the before/after/now/after photos! That's a nice, long table you have to work on.

    The Stampotique ATC looks great. Yep, I need to start thinking of the ATC for the 5th Anniversary swap too.

    Thanks for stopping by already.

    Happy belated WOYWW
    peace, Kay (23)

    I so love that you show your desk state, Before and after.
    Mine would show little difference.
    I really like your previous post showing the texture of the background. Really nice.
