WOYWW

Sorry for the not so good cell phone pics but I still do not have a camera :(  Not much going on on my desk this week. I am still in the process of organizing my stuff. It is bothering me NOT to be working on projects lol but I am determine to get this done, so I can be more productive. 

After my shelf was put up, it didn't take me long to fill it up. I still need to move some stuff around to get it to where I like it. But it is getting there.

I had to add a pic of this little cubby to show Julia that I do indeed have a journal/notebook obsession. These are all unused and just waiting to either be altered or added to my otherwise extensive journal list.
Sorry, not much to look at this week. Have had a slow time of organizing with meetings, lil man in camp, and job hunting. Hopefully soon I will have fun stuff to share.
Don't forget to pop on over to WOYWW headquarters to have a peak at everyone elses desks. It has grown by leaps and bounds and might take you a day or two, or like me over a week :) lol
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

WOYWW... I'm back :)

This is the left side of my room. It looks a bit different now but this is the pic I took when I first started setting everything up. I still have stuff to put away lol but this will be how it looks for a while.
 This is my desk area at the beginning :) The picture boxes are now under the desk.
 The finished (well almost) desk area. I am slowly getting things organized and set up. I really haven't been working on too much lately, just playing around in my art journals.
I did make this card for my Bestie :) Tried some new things on it and I am very happy with the results.
Now that we are all moved in and pretty much settled I have set some goals for my crafting space lol I NEED to get my pictures and memorabilia organized and get back to working on my scrapbooks. That and I have a bunch of started projects that aren't finished so I want to get those organized and finished.
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to pop on over to Miss Julia's Blog to have a peek at everyone elses desks :)

Ready to be done

Oh, how I am ready for this move to be over with. And I'm not even done packing yet :( I just want to sit down and work in my art journals and yet, I am stuck going through stuff and packing it away. The pain of it all is, I'm only moving 4 streets over haha. But yet stuff still has to be packed and packed safely so as to not ruin any of my precious crafting materials. Notice how I mention nothing of the rest of the house, just my stuff haha. Although last night I went to roast some zucchini in the oven and didn't have a spice that was needed, why??, because I packed it lol Also packed the piece that goes in my rice cooker to steam veggies. UGH!!! The next couple of weeks can go by very quick so I am done and in the new (old) place and getting settled in.
Explanation on the new (old) place lol Before the kids and I moved to Louisiana we lived in the apt. that we are now moving back into :) This is the neighborhood I grew up in and in some ways it feels as if I am going home. So, yes I am ready to be done.
Still no camera :( Haven't had a chance to get out to Wallyworld to check them out. I am so lost without it. I know I have my cell but, it takes very poor quality pictures.
Ok I just need to vent a little and there is no one around here to vent too :) Back to sorting and packing I go.
Hope everyone is having a blessed day.

WOYWW **out of commission**

Due to breakage of my camera :*( I have no pictures to post. Am hoping to get to Walmart today and find at least a cheap one for now, I soooooooo miss my camera, I feel like I am missing out on so many picture opportunities. So, until I am able to get a camera, I will be out of commission for WOYWW :( But you can go to Julia our fearless leader's blog :) and take a snoop at everyone else's desks. Be prepared though, you will be there for a long while :)
I have gotten a few scrapbook pages done :) Decided it was high time I got back into doing them as I have pics just sitting in boxes and before the memories fade even more. Wish I could share them with you. I will when I can.
On another note, I will be packing up said crafting supplies to move in a few weeks. I do plan on packing one box with art journal supplies, that way I can have at least one outlet for my creativity. Other than that I am giving myself a few months to get things sorted and truly organized. I have so much stuff that I truly don't know everything anymore.
Hope everyone has a wonderful wednesday and a great rest of the week :)

Memorial Day weekend happenings

Taking it pretty easy this weekend. I completed the right side page yesterday. I like the background so much I did 2 other pages with the same technique. I inked the page then went over it with a baby wipe :) First time doing this and I am liking it :)
 Inside the circle reads "In a world that is NOT!!!"
 I used some paper that I had in my supply along with book pages and a magazine cut out on these 2 pages. Still undecided on how I want to proceed with this one.
 The other 2 pages I prepped today. I also made a tag for this page but it was still drying so I didn't take a picture of it.
 Today I have spent loving up on this happy, smiling, gorgeous, lovable baby :) I don't get to spend much time with her since they moved to their own place, so Memaw needed some time with her Popeye :) She makes me smile and laugh and I just can't get enough of those chunky little cheeks of hers. It is hard to believe that in 4 days she will be 5 months old. She is rolling all over the place now, has discovered her feet lol and tries to talk aka baby screeches :) Before I know it she will be all grown up and giving her moma all the trouble she can :)
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend :) I know I am :)

WOYWW




Welcome to another edition of WOYWW :) Make sure you head over to Our leader Julia's blog to have a nosey at everyone elses desks. But, make sure you have plenty of time on your hands cause you will be there for a while since the list has grown :)
 Not too much going on this week on my desk. Doing some prep work on some art journal pages. I paint and decorate then leave them till later (lately it is way later) to journal on. I don't have a distinct purpose for most of the pages I prep, I just do what my mind wants to do at the time :) I seem to use my scrapbook supplies for this more than I use it for scrapbooking.
** I finished the curtains in record time last week. And surprisingly (to me lol) they were even for the most part haha. The son is happy with them so that makes me happy **
Thank you for the comments last week on the little bunny box. As for the scrapbooking, well I have enough supplies sitting around to do many, many more albums. If only I had the inspiration to organize the pictures and actually sit and work on them.
Off, to start my day :) The sun is shining brightly here in Massachusetts and our high today is supposed to be 91, definetly loving it :)
Have a good day all and see you next week :)

WOYWW (a day late)






I did not forget to post yesterday, I just had no time. Dear son, picked me up early in the am and did not return me to my humble home till 6 pm last night. See, he just moved into a new apartment and needed to go shopping to buy home decor. So, he asked me to go with him. So much fun shopping at the thrift stores for vintagey looking goodies :)
 Here is the little box from last weeks post. I changed my mind about using the punched circles to make the bunnies, they wouldn't have looked right. I like this way better.
 A card I made on Tuesday. I was just playing around with some stash that I have :) I know the desk is really tidy except that pile on the right.
 A little nosey in the top of the built in. This is the bottom and first shelves. This is where I store my albums that have pages I have done. One of these days I will get back to scrapbooking and get them filled :)
 The first shelf holds items that I had listed in my Etsy shoppe (that is no longer open, due to circumstances). It also holds a few other things that well I just had not other idea where to put :)
The white box on the right is holding 8.5x11 scrapbook pages that are done. They used to be in binders, then I had a bright idea to convert them all to 12x12 and well, after the binders were given away, I decided to just leave them as is because I had no time to do it.
   Not much else going on around here. The next few days will be consumed with making curtains for the dear son :) and some major house cleaning.
   Don't forget to stop on over to Miss Julia's (you can get there by clicking on the link to the right). I'm sure there is an even longer list than last week, so it might take you a few days to have a looksie at all the desks :)
