WOYWW - Before and After

HAPPY WOYWW!   Julia at Stamping Ground is the hostess of this round-the-world weekly event to take a peep at our desks!  Julia has been sidetracked by a pesky gall bladder while on vacation so I am not sure if she will be up to a post but I am linking back to her blog and you can check out previous editions of WOYWW if she does not have a current one up.


So why don't I know whether Julia has a new WOYWW up today?  Wellllllll, my daughter and I are on a bit of a vacation being royally spoiled by my sis!  

There has been much hurrying and scurrying before leaving on this trip to IN.  A 14th birthday to celebrate among all the other activities!  I dashed off 3 cards scheduled to show up on the blog while gone and here is the aftermath of my madness!

  Storm on her shelf letting me know she hasn't been fed yet.
An upside down yogurt container (clean) that I use when I water color.
My favorite Candi foam pads, an empty Tombo glue container.  My notebook that I stamp my sentiments on to for centering before stamping on card stock are just a few of things scattered on this desk.

This is how my desk looks RIGHT NOW.  It's been clean for 5 whole days while I am playing in another state!

My DH saw the photo and said, "this photo makes your desk look messier than it is."  So there you have it.

TFL!

  1. Love the photos - especially the cat on the shelf - I would never be able to keep an entire shelf clear for the cat - every tiny little space gets covered in something in my world - so well done!!! I love the swivelly hexagonal container - very cool! Have a great week and thanks so much for stopping by my blog

  5. I just adore snooping around at all the desks for WOYWW. It makes my inner busy body so happy!!!!! I love both shots of your desk. Storm looks so pleased on her reserve shelf, well maybe a little displeased at not yet having breakfast. Your desk looks like such a fun place to play. I'm sure many happy hours have been spent there.

  7. LOL, Angie! I love before and after! That's what making cards is all about!! Pulling stuff out, making a card, trying to "regroup" and put things back so we can find it again (LOL!), and then doing it ALL OVER AGAIN! I love it! Have fun, sweet friend!

  9. Love the before and after shots. Prefer the before as there are so many goodies to look at. Great place for a cat to lay and supervise from. Diane #40

  15. How fun for you to take pics before you left. Great idea using the notebook to make certain sentiments are stamped straight

  16. Oh, I love the before and after pics of your desk, Angie!!!! Even with the desk a bit messy I can tell that you are pretty much organised!!! My desk is 90% of the time in a messy state - even when I've made only one card it looks like yours' in the first photo!!!! You've got a lovely crafting space and I love the special shelf for Storm!!! Happy crafting!!!
