When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

WOYWW 193

Hello desk-hoppers and all!

Finally got to sit down to post, had to take my car for its service this morning, then we popped up to mum & dad's to see my niece who's birthday it is today. So it's been all go here.

Time to relax now with my coffee and share my desk, please pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground to follow the fun and display your desks for the world to see. Right here's mine -


So the left side under the window, I finally sorted all the stamps that were piled in the window sill so it's all tidy now, my usual tools are at the end of the desk. The 2 cards I've made for my dad as it's his birthday on Friday are sat there waiting envelopes and then there's my mini Smash book which is now my colouring inspiration - that is any images I colour that I love too much to use else where will go in here for me to look back at. 


Looking to the right there's the laptop I'm sorting out and updating, my ever present radio and Cuttlebug and my ever growing pen collection!


Close up of main desk area - those cards and book.

So that's me this week. Not much changes really only what's on the main working area. Right I'm going to be popping by as many desks as I can today and during the rest of the week.

Keep crafting!
Take care Zo xx

I love your card, very classy. Like me you have a fantastic view from your window, I so love looking out at the world and creating, although your space is neat and tidy, it needs messing up. LOL

Happy WOYWW

Hi Zoe! Thanks for the visit! I am loving your smash book! I have not tried that yet. I see you love to write in it and that is just great. The card is lovely next to it. I am drooling ove your copic collection. I only have a handful of them and don't know how to use them properly, so I am reading up on it currently. Enjoy the day! Winnie#79

I love nothing better than a clear space to work, but I think you've seen my desk today so you know I am not as tidy as you! Love the card - it grabbed my attention right off. Enjoy your cuppa and desk hopping!

Oooh very nice and tidy - I like the way you keep your favourite colourings in a book - mine are on tags on a bookring but I think its time for a change so I might put mine in a book too! Thanks for visiting me :)
