Same old, same old - making a stepper card, cuppa cold coffee to the left and a basket of cards needing inserts, envelopes and cello bags to the back.
The blur of red and white strips is me being a squirrel as always - snipped off rather lovely unreusable Costco Christmas gift bags (ie handles) for re-use.
Told yer - same old, same old.........but to see much more exhilarating (big word) sights - just hop over to Julia's pad here. Bound to be much more fun there.
Happy WOYWW!

I think it looks pretty darned good. Love that you snipped the handles off the gifts bags...why not! Stash is stash!
ReplyDeleteHaven't quite got Xmas put away...thinking of just posting a picture of my dining room table which has the last of the Xmas stuff piled up on it!!! Hangs head in shame that I am not finished yet.
Another one to make me giggle with your squireling away, I think we all do that, snip off bits of trim/paper/card that we like for re-use which in my case I probably don't and end up giving it to my nieces to use! Ah well gets them crafting! Take care Zo xx 43
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely and busy to me!! And I'm a girl after your own heart, am forever snipping off this and that to reuse :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame that you're booked up for the crop date :( that is Sod's law, isn't it? Unfortunately no hope of changing as the hall is pretty much booked up.......
Hugs, LLJ 38 xxx
From one squirrel to another ....go for it girl. I'm sure that little bit of cord or ribbon will come in handy soon. :-)

Hello Di ... don't fall off your chair in shock but it's me! WOYWW'ing for the first time in FAR too long and how I have missed you!
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks just perfect to me ... not same old, same old, at all! I just added a long length of beautiful cream coloured leather "string" to my bits'n'bobs box so us fellow squirrels have to stick together!
Happy crafting and happy WOYWW'ing! D x (Sorry ... no idea what my number is at Julia's -I forgot to look!)
Your desk looks so fine, little brain storming and time to your self then creation will come out.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day
Tamara
Yes, squirrel away!! Hope you have a good week and get crafty time to use it! Helen 7
ReplyDeleteI think we are all squirrels, Di. Your desk looks really lovely to me. I like the look of that card underway.
ReplyDeleteGet yourself a fresh cup of coffee and see what today brings, I have heard there might be sunshine, although that could just be a rumour!!
Happy WOYWW

I don't know about a squirrel; you are a busy bee this year Di. I believe how many cards you have made already. I hope you get some sunshine soon. A bit of sunshine and a fresh cup of coffee (except it's tea for me) will do you a power of good. Kate x #57
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with the desk at all.
ReplyDeleteI think all us crafters love to snip things to keep 'just in case' and why not I say, bound to come in handy for something at some point.

It looks lovely to me, organised mess is always the best. Love how your squirrel away bits and pieces, I think we all do that, but do you ever use them, that is the question - in my case it is a big no! You have certainly made lots of cards though. Happy WOYWW, Anne x #47
ReplyDeleteLovely colours in use there Di..very cheery given the gloom over us at the mo..am starting to hate damp clouds! Am off to refresh my cold coffee - yuk. You are probably the only person I know who snips the handles...I wonder what your limit is....!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's a new year but the same you, we love you just the way you are! Should we start calling you Squirrel Nutkins now lol?
ReplyDeleteReally interested in the card your making, adore the pastel colours, can't wait to see it completed.
Happy WOYWW xxx
We're loving the colours on your card. We have squirrel tendencies too.
ReplyDeleteThe bears @#83 this week.
Yep, as well as the WOYWW club, we are all members of the Squirrel club. Beloved Hubby says I was probably a squirrel in a former life!The stuff I have found over the last couple of weeks moving my stuff to the new room is scary.Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #73 xx
ReplyDeleteOh well I think your desk is fun and always lots to see! I haven't been around last week so I wish you a Happy 2013!
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs,
Cardarian
Your desk looks good to me - busy and interesting. I spent time cutting the inside printed greetings out of cards last week - I wonder if I will use them? We just can't help ourselves can we? LOL Happy Wednesday. :o)
ReplyDeleteSue x (MiniOwner@53)
Your desk looks way too tidy. I am trying to make some sense of my stamps, but I am afraid, its not working very well, I keep finding really cute stamps, and then.... well I am sure you know what happens then. LOL

Hi there Di,
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the colors of that card! And aren't you thrifty, cutting the straps off bags that will no longer be used!
I'm itching to go to Hobby Lobby because all my crafting stuff is all over the place..... rather than dig perhaps I should just buy something.
Hugs,
Kay
LOL. I have a basket on my shelf for "pretties I want to use someday". It is where I stick all little things like your bag handles. Any time I am working on a project that needs "something" - I grab that basket and look at my treasures. My daughter calls it junk. UGH!!
ReplyDeleteHi!! I am new to WYOWW and friends with Sandee. I hope you have a chance to check out my blog and desk.
Lori #81
I always blame the Girl Guides for getting me through my Thrift badge for my squirrelling.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with what you are doing, think of it as protecting the environment with reusing things.
Take care
Hugs, Neet xx 11
I like to recycle those bags too. I usually use them until they fall apart! LOL Or, the plain ones are great to cover with pretty paper and add some stamps and ribbon. Lots of fun. Great work space and very pretty card!
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks pretty good to me. Lots of gloomy weather here in the Southern States. I always say...Mud and Brown!
ReplyDeleteGlenda #78
We need to have a squirely WOYWW posting one week...showing all the bits and bobs that we have kept for that rainy day..I mean, I KNOW I'll use it ONE day! lol
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time so not same old same old for me. you have a lovely blog
Ria
Hey! Di, you sound really fed up and yet your desk is tidy and you've made some lovely crafting. Cheer up hun and smile.!! It will soon be Spring. Happy crafty 2013!
ReplyDeleteLove and happy hugs

I thought squirrels buried their stash???? Need to figure out what animal leaves it all on display lol!!
ReplyDeleteSorry not been by for ages, finally made it back to WOYWW land this week, and my desk is waaaaaaaaaaaaay messier than yours :-)
happy woyww
Debs #132
I usually have a cuppa cold coffee on my desk, too! I'm dead impressed by your re-usable bag handles - looking forward to seeing what you make with them!
ReplyDeletelove Mags B x
I do that- the bag handles - keep everything/anything - you just never know what you might need. Your desk looks good to me and compared with mine. Anne x #135
ReplyDeleteBeen dark and dismal here too, but stayed lighter that bit longer, do you follow that, good as it sounds like I'm talking gobble-de-gook.
ReplyDeleteThe card in front looks very interesting looking forward to seeing that one finished.
Parcel posted today but by hubby so no idea what he sent it by probably second class, as he threw me by taking it to the PO so I couldn't give him instructions. Just telling you incase it never arrives.

Love the idea of reusing the gift bag handles! Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteApryl H #9
Your card looks very pretty!! And my room is worse, lol!!
ReplyDeleteJeannie #60
Gosh your room looks a little dark there Miss. Shall we get some hamsters in the Treehouse to tread the wheels and get some light in there for you?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your bushy tail when we next meet up. Can't say I noticed it when we were at the Crop!!
Hugs

Hi Di, I would think that squirreling is mandatory for a crafter - you just never know when something could come in useful :) Your desk looks a busy one this week - despite the appalling light we've been suffering (it's a bit brighter here today but the lights are still on. I hope you have a good weekend. Elizabeth x #69
ReplyDeleteWhat you talkin' bout, Wilson? There is lots to see with all your ingredients for your beautiful stepper card!!
ReplyDeleteHope the sun comes out tomorrow!
That's a beautiful card coming along! I like the colors and one of my favorite dies are the circles too!
