WOYWW #93

Another month half gone and this week has flown past faster than the ones before. Today is Wednesday so that means it is time for WOYWW and if you would like to follow along, and maybe even play along, check it out at Julias blog Stamping Ground.

Here is a picture of my desk this week. If you are going by my blog posts and my presence on the web then then it looks like I haven't done much of anything but I have been so busy both with my crafts and life.

A few weeks ago I showed you a picture of my work area with all the stamps, my TV and some of the storage drawers to the right of my desk. This week I thought I would give equal time to the left side of my desk and show you my paper and "stuff" stash. Both of the tall towers are the paper holders. The one on the right holds Stampin Up! and Close to My Heart print papers. The drawers on the left hold mainly Tim Holtz, Graphic 45, Webster Pages, and most of my 6x6 and 8x8 paper pads. The boxes in the book shelf are also full of papers. I use up a lot but I can't lie to you I am a paper horder!!! My desk is made out of two file cabinets that have a wood plank top and I store all of my card stock in those drawers. On top of the tall drawers there is a Clip It storage round for my flowers, buttons, and bling. The tall paper rack there is a bunch of Just Rite stamp sets and mounting blocks. The bookcase has my Cricut and Jukebox plus the first shelf holds new DVD cases a plus other stuff I can't figure out what to do with!!

I am blessed to have a husband that allows me to indulge in my crafty goodness and since I have become disabled it has been a blessing to 'shop' in my own store instead of having to buy new!

I thought I would share one of the things I have been working on this week...an Easter layout. I just love it! Makes me feel happy. Here is a close up of the Easter basket that was made out of an envelope and paper weaving. Each egg and the bunny are tags where you can put pictures.
I will try and post some more projects later today but I am not making any promises. It is currently 0230 in Oklahoma and I am going to bed. I have a date with a neurologist tomorrow and I hope he can tell me what is going on with my neural system! I will blog hop tomorrow. Night!

    Vickie - 2.30am? Good grief gal, save your sleep pattern and schedule your post...you gals staying up so late really give me the guilts! Your desk is FABULOUS, a work in progress and surrounded by what you need. My first thought was 'colour' and 'ohhhhhh, paper'; how lovely to have so much! Good luck with the nueros...let us know. x

    Love that desk! So much to play with! I'm sure it helps keeps the blues away! Hope the neuro will be able to help! I was able to talk to a lady who has what you have (too hard to spell) and she said she was healing because of her naturopathic doctor. Your Easter layout is so colorful and lively! Good job!

    The balance between offline creativity and online self-promotion has been on my mind lately. I am cutting myself some slack and concentrating on one thing at a time! It helps.

    The Easter bunny in the basket is fabulous.

Meanwhile, your crafting is so bright and colourful, just what we all need at the end of a dark dismal winter, and in the face of such dreadful news from all around the world. Please keep cheering us up.

    Hey Val,

    as one nurse to another I doubt very much that you could be embarrassed by a willie.

    I must say though I am glad I was at the face end for the reclining pose....

    one does need to stare and really really observe every bit of skin

    staring at a strangers naked penis means overcoming a few deeply ingrained taboos

    i think my nursing background helps, as one knows that a person can be naked and vulnerable, but that the reason for the nakedness can be acceptable and comfortable, respected, and safe.
