This is how my desk looks .........
A mess some might say...... Ok most would say!
I have been very busy, Stampotique are getting ready to launch the new range of stamps on 15 th April and I have been busy making samples with the new stamps, as well as the normal weekly design team project! = Jackie making a big mess, no time to clear up!
So there will be lots of projects to show you over the coming weeks...... And I will be giving away some Stampotique Stamps as well! That's got to be good news!
One of the stamps I will be giving away is this one, shown in the picture below. It's a cube of four flowers, called Jo's flower cube, by Stampotique. I made a quick card using my cube to show how the flowers look.
So back to my desk and less of the excuses.....
This is a close up shot I took shortly after the more long distance one. You can see my two big ink pads on the left, some distress ink pads, craft bag, pile of fabric lengths at the back, which reminds me , I used my sewing machine this week for the first time since I went on my 'getting to know your sewing machine ' course.
The sewing has been added to my journal page I was working on at the time, I will show you this when it's completed. Then there is lots of rubber stamps which I have been using and infront of them is my door hanger I have now finished
There are some step by step photos of this on a seperate post. I am planning on giving the door hanger to my daughter who is due to have her first baby this month. Thank you to all of you who ask after her and how she is doing.
Her husband snaped this shoot of us together on Mother's Day in the nursery.
To the right of my desk is some background papers I have made. I drank my cup of tea and eat my banana!
If you would like to see some more crafty desks just click on the link marked stamping ground on the right hand side further down on my blog, Julia will explain all.
Thank you for leaving a comment and I do try and visit everyone who leaves a comment .

Hi Jackie
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have all those lovely new stamps to play with.

What a photo to treasure - the three of you all together on Mothers Day. The first of many I hope. You will have to do that pose again next year with baby bump sitting on mummy's knee.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the news when baby arrives, hasn't she done well! DD that is.
Now where were we? Oh yes, Stampotique - how lucky to have some stamps to play with and what a lot you seem to have. Bit of a mess on the table and floor Jackie - not like you at all. Ah well, you have a good excuse.
Hugs, Neet 65 xx
Did you see you have a spare inch of space by the banana, best fill it quick so it matches the rest of the table!!

That sure is one busy desk. Love the owed cube stamp. Gorgeous photo of you and your daughter. Anne x #28
ReplyDeleteCan I come to play at your house?! Your desk looks really interesting. Best wishes for the exciting event coming up. Have a great week x
ReplyDeleteSo cute! And now we must call you Granny - or have you been made a Gran already? I'm rubbish at remembering that sort of detail :) Anyway, great desk, lots of lovely projects, and I wish I had one of those hangers when mine were small - so true, nap time is SACRED! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!

ReplyDeleteI could have done with a door thingy like that 9 years ago! Love the photo of the two of you and your desk looks like a riot of fun. #63
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job you have! I would LOVE to do that for a stamp company! And I love your Mother's Day photo! Just think what next year's photo will look like with 3 generations! We always take out 3 generation photo on New Year's day, I'm looking forward to when we have a 4 generation photo!

I should show the photo of your desk to my husband next time he makes a (snide) remark about the state of my room!
ReplyDeleteI love that card. I love that wall hanger.
Most of all, I love that photo of you and your daughter!
Now that is a busy desk indeed, but full of lovely crafty things to enjoy. I love the door hanger, but the really special photo this week has to be the mothering sunday one. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! Happy WOYWW. Caro x (#102)
ReplyDeleteIt is beyond my imagination let alone skills to be able to tidy up. Whenever i tidy i sit around afraid to mess up. That is a terrible mind set to get in. So i try to just put aways things that I may need again and not find if buried.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture of your gorgeous daughter. Exciting time for you and a new title.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful photo of yourself and your daughter, Jackie. I trust all goes well when it is time for the baby to be born.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful desk there today - so full of life. I particularly like the way your efforts spread to the floor - mine get carried throughout the house!!
Have a great week.
