WOYWW 151

We were at a funeral this morning and somehow the afternoon got frittered away, so I'm quite late in the day adding my post for WOYWW 151, the wonderful weekly opportunity for us to show our workspace and to have a look at everyone else's run by the wonderful Julia. I so enjoyed visiting everyone last week. I hope to be able to get round as many as possible this week.

So here is my space to the left of where I sit - a box of Christmas papers that are always nearby, one of my many boxes of ribbons, a box of ready stamped images, brads, sentiments, a stamp that should have been put way, a pack of skeleton leaves (not sure why they are there or why I bought them recently as I still have some tucked away from years ago). The Creative expressions masks were bought with a Joanna Sheen voucher that I won a while ago for a Rainbow Lady challenge.


To the right of where I sit there is a box of an Anna Griffin engraved botanica kit that I bought from QVC last week - just I gave in to the temptation again, but my excuse is that I make a load of cards to sell for charity and sometimes I need to make some quick ones. On top of the box are magazine papers and stamps waiting for more inspiration. You can also see some lovely Prima roses that I received yesterday as a prize from the Let's Craft & Create challenge and also a set of Aster flower topper shapeabilities that I bought with another Joanna Sheen voucher, this time won for a challenge on The crafty pad. Lurking in front are some images ready to be used.


I thought I'd also show the pull out drawers that are inside the cupboard to my right - very handy. They were built in originally to house a printer and my craft robo, but my robo was replaced with the cricut which now sits on top and my printer is now wireless, so is over the other side of the room out of the way.


And this is the keyboard shelf that pulls out where I sit - I don't use it for a keyboard, so it's so handy to house all those bits and pieces that then get pushed out of the way.


Sorry, this turned into a longer post than I intended!

I'm so grateful for all the visitors I had last week. Thank you to everyone who visits and leaves comments - I do so appreciate it.

  1. I always like looking at your workspace Hazel. It is so lovely and organised, how I like mine really. You make so many cards each week, I guess you need to know where everything is. I especially like your pots of pens. I have finally bought the last lot of Copic ciao markers so I have the whole set now and I have sorted them all into number order. It gives me as much pleasure to see them like that as it does to use them! Kate x 170

  19. That's a busy desk Hazel and so much to see. I have a thing about masks at present so I would love the ones on your desk this week.

  21. Wow what a lot of stuff Hazel.
    I've got such a long way to go with my collecting. I'm taking it slowly though so I don't frighten my mojo away. He went AWOL for 12 years so I'm a little nervous in case he decides to do it again!
    Have fun...enjoy WOYWW ;D

  25. Congratulations on all your wins - can't go wrong with vouchers as you can choose what you like. I saw the Anna Griffin TSV on QVC but resisted for once! I do love all her stuff, especially her stamps.

    You're making fab use of that desk, love the keyboard tray pull out idea. I had to laugh though as when I first read your post I thought you said you kept your 'craft robe' in the cupboard and had visions of you sitting at your desk in a fancy crafting robe - lol. I really must slow down when reading and typing.

    Thanks for already coming to see my desk this week x

  38. What a craftily organized workspace! Yeah for slide outs, huh? :)
    I had to install one under my paper crafting surface last year and I love it...it's not a far from the top as yours is so I can only put thinner stuff on it but that means it works well for the little bits of paper and stuff that get lost else where, oh and the clear stamps fit there, too. Anyways, thanks for stopping by and checking out my sewing cabinet. I'm sure I'll put up pics of my craft room this week and I look forward to see what's on your desk again! ~Deeyll
