Well, here we are again, Wednesday snoop time once more. This time I hang my head in shame, you visited me in your thousands last week (slight exaggeration perhaps!!), and I visited….. 4 desks! Sorry, busy, busy, busy again, but at least business Pt1 is over and I have a slight breather of about 10 days until business Pt2 arrives, in the mean time, I intend to visit lots of desks to make up for last week!
Can you believe we went to another 50th birthday party on Sunday too? A good friend of ours was celebrating and I’d completely forgot that he is the exact same age as my husband, so that’s two 50ths and one 60th that we’ve celebrated in the space of 16 days! I’m about partied out I tell you. We went along to his surprise party (he was almost overwhelmed actually) intending to stay for about two hours as it started at 4pm on Sunday afternoon, and we ended up locking the place up and being the last to leave! Due entirely to the fact that our other really good friend came in from California for the party, we haven’t all been together like that for the best part of 8 years so there was a lot of catching up to do as a little group. What a great evening we had.
So this was my desk on Saturday I think it was, or maybe Sunday morning, I really have no clue!! I haven’t seen it since then I know that much. I was making a snippet Christmas card so the scrap boxes are on the table, the Christmas one is easy to spot as it has a large snowflake in there, and beneath that is the box of cardstock scraps. The pieces chosen for the card are on the mat.
Towards the back, on the blue tin, is the Kraftin Kimmie image I’d coloured and cut out ready. The three bottles of Stickles are brand new, Distress Stickles in a pack of three on clearance at Michaels for $3.79, the cling stamp on the acrylic block is also new and was also on sale at Mikes for 40% off, it a Hero Arts Clocks background stamps. The little jar is white flock powder that I later adder to my image. Right at the back by the glue gun are some sheets of tissue paper that I used to mop up some inky goodness from a stamp block, not wanting to waste some water spritzed ink on a stamp block I grabbed the paper to mop it up with.
And as I said before, I’ll definitely be visiting more of you this week than I did last, which let’s face it, wouldn’t be difficult now would it!! Head on over to Julias for the details of the blog hop if you have no idea why I’m showing you my desk!

wow, you must be all partied out by now! Between that and work it is a wonder you got any crafty time at all! Enjoy your ‘heat wave’ tomorrow, going to be chilly here again although it was warmer for 2 days and the snow was beginning to thaw! (short lived)
Happy WOYWW, Debxx #14
Always great to get together with friends, but don’t they always seem to come at once, never spread out over a year. Great things on your desk. I didn’t know you could get so many things for cards and stamping, I will have to find a shop around here and have a good look. Just painting sounds boring now.
Have a great week.
Von #36
You did have a very busy week. It’s fun getting together with friends….Your desk looks ready for a super productive week…I’m looking forward to seeing what you are up too….Have a great week!
sounds like you had a fabby time,your desk looks like its just waiting for you to return,happy crafting,x
Hi there, trying to squeeze in as many visits as I can so just a quick visit today! Thanks for letting us in to see your world today!Enjoy your breather and get some crafting time…. can’t believe you are making Christmas cards already!
Neil #19
Tee hee Brenda . .. .. even though there are loads of crafty goodies on your desk you still manage to make it look neat and tidy!!
I think I need to learn that technique!!!!
It is looking like you have a stickles fetish!
I can’t remember where I saw it but ages ago I remember someone posting their storage idea for stickles. They attached little circular magnets to the bottom of each bottle and had a baking tray attached to the underside of a shelf. Each little bottle was then stored upside-down magnetically attached to the baking tray .. .. so the glitter glue was always in the nozzle ready for use. I thought it was quite a good idea – but have never put it to the test.
Hope all is good with you.
Love Jules xx
Ah, catching up with friends is good. Hope you get some home time now – though your desk always looks good.
Re the ceiling – had to do several coats too, a couple with a stain stop to stop the discolouration coming through and then 2 coats of emulsion – that I did with the roller on a broom handle though which was easier!! (but not much fun…)
love your desk thanks for sharing
Great goings on in your life with all those birthdays and everything on your desk too. It’s amazing how so much comes at once instead of pacing out! It must have been great seeing your old friends at the party.
Must add ….I cannot believe I am hearing the C******as word already … EEeeeeek!
Love JoZarty x
Don’t stress we visit when we can …life just gets so busy. I am very impressed with you stickle collection.
Hi there, Brenda so know what you mean about not having enough time!!!!!!!!!!!!! and here I have clobbered my elbow and it has nice lump on it ouch – just now on edge of drawer – why do we get so clumsy as we get older or I do anyway have seen your lovley creations even if have not commented cannot remember but thanks so much for sharing.

Have a great WOYWW and a fab week, Luv Karen xx

Becky #44
Gah, even your scrap boxes are tidy! Like the stamps – that Hero clock one will be uber useful. Double whammy of a surprise party then, long lost friends too, how marvellous.
Sorry I haven’t been around for a while – just can’t keep up with everything, travel, work, physio…and crafting! I hope to be good this week….
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian

The week just whizzes by and then when family stuff comes up…well here we are again! Hope you find time to play…Thanks for sharing with WOYWW…Sarah at 1
Hi Brenda, your desk looks organised and tidy even it you haven’t touched it for days and your box of snippets looks organised and manageable too. Hope you’re having a happy WOYWW. Elizabeth x #22
Hey, that’s what happened to me last week too! Just got overwhelmed and not too many posts. I shall make it up this week.
Hop on over to my give away if you would like.
Yeah! Someone else mentioned “Flocking” powder! Just when I think I’m done with the stuff, someone asks me to make another flocking thing. *giggles* That word is way too fun. I’m eager to see your card when it’s done! Warmly, Tracy #96 WOYWW
Sounds like you have got a whole lot of partying going on! Fab desk. Take care, enjoy this WOYWW & I’m off to snoop some more! Wonder how many I’ll get round today? Zo xx 60
Looks like a lot of goodies on your work desk!!! Stickles are a must have item on my work desk too!!
great desk. I too won’t waste inky stuff and pick it up with tissues or paper towels. In fact the project on my desk today uses both. BIG GRIN.
You look like you really love your Stickles. Looks like everything is nicely organized. Have a Great Day
You have such an organised crafting area. I wish mine was as tidy as that. I know you say that you have to do one project at a time, but I suffer from butterfly mind, so I usually have several things on the go at once. Those Distress Stickles sound really good, and have fun with them. xx Maggie #8
Your desk is so organised, sounds like you been having a fab time with all the parties hope you have a fab week

I’m back, I can see the pic now, and even oyur boxes are tidy, even when I do tidy there’s always bits everuwhere! and NO! No an Essex girl (agh!!) Babycham I think was found when our aunty brenda passed away and I took it on as I used to work for the past Babycham makers and it still had their name on it (the name was sold with the product but I think it’s been dropped now) and I thought the bottle was a bit old, but it wasn’t that old, just about ten -fifteen years or so I think, any way!
Happy woyww again! ((Lyn))
lookin’ good have a great week !
such a tidy workspace, you’ve had a great time lately,
Hello Mrs B, long time no speak but I still smile when i think of your first comment to me – nowt in the interim has changed you are still disgustingly organised and i am still disgustingly creatively messy xx
I realize I am really late getting here, especially since I am #2. But I have had a terrible time keeping my computer running today. Seems it wants to shut down after I visit one blog. I’ve never seen Stickles at Michael’s. I had NO idea they carried Stickles there. Thanks for sharing that bit of info.
Happy WOYWW.
You are so organized, I love your desk and the shelves on the side. Thanks for stopping by my blog. #36
The papers you have ready for your xmas card are so pretty! Lovely colours! I hope you get a chance to make your card … unless you have more parties to go to!
xoxo Karen #179
Beautiful pastel colored pages you have layed out there, but I’m mostly intrigued by the box full of scraps, I so want to get my hands on it! 😉
Today is the first day for me in WYOWW land…its so exciting to visit everyone’s desk.
I’m starting at the beginning of the list and working my way through so I don’t miss anything…Yep I’m nosey like that.
You certainly have a wonderful work space. Thanks for letting me take a peek!
Have a great crafty week…must dash and check out a few more desks! 😀
I too struggle to get round everyone’s desk. I will try harder this week. I just looked at where you live in relation to us, it’s almost a straight line across. Nice tidy desk.
That’s a lot of special birthday happening, how lovely and the party sounds great.
I spotted your pink snowflake and wondered whether it had just sneaked in unnoticed, but I bet it’s on a card now, lol.
That sketch looks very interesting too.
Hope you manage some crafting time.
Happy WOYWW

You sound very busy these days. I hope you get to squeeze in some crafty time too! Have a great week.
I can’t believe the number of people who are making their Christmas cards already…I can’t even think about it yet. Mind you half of mine are already done, the ones I made and didn’t send last year so I guess I’m already well ahead!
Glad you enjoyed your parties and were able to catch up with old friends.
Happy Crafting!
