WOYWW first anniversary

Over on Julia's blog she is celebrating a whole year of WOYWW. I haven't been taking part for all of the year, but in recent months have joined in on most Wednesdays.

Today my workspace is fairly clear as I haven't done much in the last couple of days - and I admit that I do like to tidy up in between and put everything in its place. Crafting was limited yesterday because John had to go up to St Thomas eye casualty - he has a scratch on his cornea. I did manage one card last night though - more about that later.


You'll notice that I now have my copics a bit more sorted out and all standing on a 'lazy susan' that I can pull towards me when needed and swing round to the container I want - I bought it ages and ages ago and have only recently put it into use.

I've also bought some of the long Really Useful Boxes for my ink pads. I used to keep them in a larger RU box, but had to empty out more when I wanted a particular ink. Now I have a couple of boxes for distress inks etc. The only thing is that I now need some more boxes to house the ink pad overflow!

Here they are in the cupboard:


Lastly, here is the other side of my worktop - not a lot to see, but a few stamps that were used last night for a card for my guest slot on Raise the bar this week - I was chosen as a guest bar tender - you can read about it and see my original card here - very exciting.

And now I must get off here and get the bus to go to the dental hygienist - oh, what fun!

Oh Hazel it's lovely to see your desk..I'm surveying mine this morning with the exaperation ofthe disorganised. Althouhg my ink pads are OK - I have them in baskets - pigments, permanents, fluid chalks, dyes - so unless someone changes the sleves around, I can 'go to' there - it's just the desk top that defeats me!!

Sorry to hear about the eye emergency. Eyes are nothing to mess around about.

You are really organized. I've never seen storage containers like those you got for your stamp pads. And I've never owned a copic marker, but I'm seeing so many show up in all the photos. Happy WOYWW>

I've been wanting a lazy susan for my desk. Of course I've been wanting too many things to organize but I doubt if that would keep my craft space neat! Patsy from
