WOYWW #142

Well Wednesday came and went and I sat here happily unaware that I was missing the day! I have not had much Mojo recently and haven't been doing much in the craft room and I guess it shows since I missed Wednesday...what is it about Wednesday that has me sobbing in my beer? WOYWW! I love What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday and to miss it has been sad...so...I am doing WOYWW on Friday! Find out what WOYWW is by going to Julia's blog Stamping Ground and checking out WOYWW!

This is a picture of my desk today...sad huh! I am not a neat nick and to see my desk like this means I must not be doing anything...told you Mojo has taken a hike!
Just to be there in case it wandered back I spent some time organizing things and took some stamps off the wood blocks but that didn't help.

The only thing that I have made...and it isn't finished...is a chipboard book I am making for my sister for her birthday. I need to put ribbons on the rings and find pictures to print off to go in the book and I will give it to her on March 10...her 54th birthday!

My daughter, Heather, took me out for the day on Tuesday and she got my hands and feet done. Here is a new looking I am sporting on my fingers...I love it! It covers the paint underneath the nails and looks oh so spiffy cause being a gel polish the paint slides off when I wash my hands. Sweet! I would imagine though some folks that see me here in Oklahoma wonder what kind of second childhood I am going through with my spikey hair and funky nails at 60 years of age! They should see my toenails...they are sparkly/glittery St. Pat's green...Oh well you only go around once and I plan to have fun!

SO guess this is all I will go on about today. I think I will head over to WOYWW and check out some of the other blogs and maybe get some ideas to stimulate the old Mojo back into being! Don't forget the blog candy drawing will take place next week and winners announced on Wednesday. Make a comment and become a follower for a chance! Take care and have a great week.

  1. It sounds as though you are having fun, in spite of Mr Mojo going on holiday. He will soon be back in firing on all cylinders, I am sure of that. In the meantime, just dig out your UFO's and your snippets and use some of those up. Then there is always the possibility of making some Christmas cards early. Have fun. xx Maggie #11

  3. So pleased to see you post as I was beginning to wonder if you were unwell. So pleased it was just a mojo problem. Hey - sparkly nails and my favourite colour, looking good.

  4. Better late than not isn't it. Your album for your sister looks fab and funky. Hope your mojo comes back soon so you can make a creative clutter again, Tidy desks don't make me happy funnily enough!

  8. How funky are those nails…..you go girl!

    I must admit…..before I read you post, I looked at the picture and thought you had been playing with your distress stains again, lol but on closer inspection I can see now that the Blue is far too neat to be caused you crafting.
    Not sure about Green toenails though, I’d be worried someone might think I had a problem.

    That’s a beautiful book for your sister, she going to be so thrilled with it.



    Happy Crafting!

  9. Hi Vickie, I missed woyww this week too - but only because Blogger was messing around with my blog. Your (tidy) desk looks full of wonderful inspiration to me. I'm sure your mojo will soon come back - maybe mess your desk up a bit, the tidyness may be frightening it off - lol.

    I did smile about your new nails covering the paint underneath - what a great idea! You sound just fine with the spiky hair and painted nails - whatever your age - they do say it's just a number don't they!

    Bet your sister will love the chipboard book, it looks fab!

  10. I too wondered where you were. Sorry you have not been too good. Love the nails - I too am 60 and intend to grow old sort of disgracefully. Had sparkly glittery nail polish on all over christmas and beyond!!! they are a mess at mo so no polish but having toes done again next week. Love the book. Anne x

  12. Hello!

    Wow, pretty fancy nails! They look lovely! I thought I was a follower but have fixed that now. I love it when you come to visit my blog! The book for your sister looks beautiful - so bright and happy! This new word verification is very difficult with my poor eyesight - would you consider turning it off - it can still be done manually. Wishing you a great day today!

    Hugs,

  18. Well if you can't have spikey hair and painted nails at 60 then I don't know when you can. Be yourself, if that means spikey hair then go for it and ignore the sheep! Hope the mojo arrives back soon, desk looks kinda spooky like that! Love the book for your sister.

    Hugs

  31. Hi, hopped over from Sylvie's. Love your blog, I love your tags, such detail. I wouldn't dare show a picture of my craft desk, I'm a super messy worker it takes me a day to clear away before I can start again, and I lose something every time.

  38. I tidied my desk up the other night and had to put the picture on Facebook to prove it!!
    I wouldn't worry about what others think of you with your hair and nails. If you are happy what business is it of theirs!
    You are right about Prague being more beautiful than other European cities. We love it. We find new bits every time we go!

  40. We need to see the toenails as well!!! Ok, well, maybe not. LOL . Love the funky look - why not have fun in your second childhood, that's what I say. You've worked hard for it.

    Mr Mojo will be back soon, I'm sure. I think he's holidaying in the Bahamas with mine.... :-(

    Thanks for stopping by!

  43. I am even later than you in making my rounds - lol - but I LOVE your desk and your projects! You should share your Sister book at Inspire Me Monday! It's a great reminder for me to pull out my chipboard book box and start the projects I keep forgetting about!

    Have a wonderful WOYWW
