This was my desk yesterday when I ran away to watch the Royal balcony appearance and the fly past in the lounge: - on TV of course :)
I love SU Ink Spots ink pads. And, Hobbycraft sell some fabby 'peel off' storage boxes which hold two sets of those cute little Ink Spots, 10 per set, in a single layer. So, you can see at a glance the colours, the lids on the pads don't come adrift and, as the box will hold 21 in total, with two sets there's still one spare space which acts a bit like the space in those old 'move the tile around' games. That makes it so easy to shuffle a bit and pick an ink spot out.
Am not posting the ATCs I made on here this week as they haven't all reached their destinations - plus not all the ones promised to me have arrived yet. But, what a lovely selection I do have to show once they are here - thank you so much to those who sent them. Isn't WOYWW brilliant - three cheers for Queen Julia!!
All you have to do now is to hop over to Julia's here and then carry on snooping to see who's linked in their work desk this week!

Hi Di, just on my way to bed but had to stop by and see what you are up to ... apart from chastising yourself for leaving your desk in a mess, that is :) Your little cubes are nicely stored - they look so pretty in the box. I'm off on holiday soon so I felt I had to post my ATC even though I don't know if it's reached its destination yet and unless I find a cybercafe I won't see yours until I return - something to look forward to :)) Hope you have a lovely WOYWW. Elizabeth x too early to have a number :)
ReplyDeleteGreat storage idea Di, I have some of those boxes which may even still have peel-offs in lol. Hugs, Amanda x
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW. Love the box of ink pads. I finding organising my stash almost as enjoyable as crafting itself! Ali x #54

Ha! I was running back and forth between TV and jobs in hand too! Good to see that your desk has got that 'lived in' quality about it, just like mine..LOL!!
ReplyDeleteHUgs, LLJ #70 xx
Such super storage for you ink pads. I couldn't cope with moving between tv and craft room so I de-camped to the lounge, as you'll see with my post today! Take care my WOYWW friend. Zo xx 65

Great desk Di, is that a butterfly stamp I can see????

Have a great day xx
Hi Di, lovely ink storage you have there. I leave my baby wipes open too, smack hands, but yesterday I left the top off some acrylic, not a pretty sight today! Thanks for sharing your desk-apades. Happy WOYWW, Anne x #24

well at least there's no half eaten sandwiches or nibbled toast crusts! It looks really tidy...I'm looking at mine now... thinking....shall I? no....tomorrow!! I have got a spare atc if you like... it's finished so the glue's dry! There's also two more waiting...I wanted to put little tools on them, but I'm all out of scissors and hammers...got spoons...but, their not very crafty!

Happy Woyww, very handy looking trays. Will look forward to seeing the ATC's when they arrive. mark
ReplyDeleteHi Di! Wow so jealous of your lovely Ink pads! Great storage too. Can't wait to have my very own craft room so I can get myself some nice storage! It's all stuffed in drawers at the mo! :-( was just wondering if you're doing your own ATC swap as I know Sarn is and I am swapping with her. If you are and would like to swap let me know :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteFab yummy inkpads... great colours too Enjoy!! Have a creative week.. Hugs May x x x#34
ReplyDeleteI am going to make a collection of my ATCs that keep dropping through the letterbox - I think I should make a special little pinboard for them - such clever folk out there - and you too of course. x Jo
ReplyDeleteHi Di,
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine told me to add just a bit of water to dried out baby wipes - and it works!! You might want to give it a try.
Love those little ink pads. The plastic container fits them perfectly too (and you can see the colors)!
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,

I have one set of these ink spots and they usually rattle around in a drawer! Great tip for me! Love your desk this week!

Love the container for the inkspots. I used to have some of them. I wonder where they have gotten off to? I know they never had a fancy fits-just-right container like you have. Better go put the top on those baby wipes ASAP or that will be the end of them. I had some once that smelled like a baby's bum. A clean bum with powder! I had to pitch them as I found the smell so disturbing. Interesting butterfly stamps I see on your desk.
ReplyDeleteFabulous storage tip, thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW!

great tip re the SU inspots Di - cheers. Like you I kept leaving stuff to go and watch parts of the celebrations. Happy WOYWW Anne x
ReplyDeleteI’m always on the lookout for new and better ways to store my ink pads and I think that might work well for my Versa Color cubes so I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI’m loving those big butterfly stamps at the back of your table too.
Happy Crafting

Well I think we should write to the Palace and tell them...you left your desk in a 'drop everything and run' state to watch the balcony scenes...I would never have believed it really!! Great great tip about the ink pads, so space saving its almost worth converting, frankly!
ReplyDeleteI spy TWO mugs, and a remote control - telly watching, crafting and cuppas - wonderful combo!
ReplyDeleteI spent Sunday afternoon crafting on a tray on my lap in front of telly so I could watch the river pageant with the hubby - in fact, spent a lot of this weekend watching telly!
Happy woyww
