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 201

Wow I've gone over a week without posting, how did I keep quiet that long? Ha ha.

Anyway I break that silence with a post to share my desk as part of the world wide snoop. Julia's Stamping Ground is where to go for all the details and is the porthole to the world!

Okay so my desk -


Right hand side sees the usual Cuttlebug,  radio and pens plus the white boxes are a birthday card and a present for a family friend. Didn't know what to get her so I made a box of assorted cards, she doesn't get out much & relies on her husband to choose cards so I thought I'd make a box for her with different sorts in there to choose from.


The window side desk is covered with the Party Paws Bamboo blockbuster from Crafter's Companion. There is so much I don't know where to start. I keep looking through and ooohing and aaaahing but not actually making anything!


To my left is my bookcase full of the stuff that some of you keep on your desks, but I haven't got room to do that so it all goes in here.


Behind the door is the other units that hold all the card, papers, folders full of stamps, Distress inks and Dylusions and everything else!

So there you go, more than a desk today but I thought as I've been so quiet I'd make up for it!

I am okay, just taking a step back and doing what I need to do to cope. But it's all good really. I've other stuff going on too that is taking my time but I can't share that yet!!

Take care Zo xx

Card sets make a lovely gift -- it sounds as if it's something your intended recipient will really get use from. Happy WOYWW from Laura #100

Aah there you are, missed you on the first trawl through!! Love your radio - how have I not noticed that befor! God idea to make cards as a present - I did it for a friend once when I couldn't think of anything else - she burst into tears and said she'd never had such a personal present!!So I'm sure your friend will appreciatet he thought as well. I like the jars with different coloured flowers as well - my flower storage could certainly do with a re-think as everything just explodes when I go to it. But I think I'd need another shelf.... Hope you have had a good day, Cindy #63

What a lovely visit to your room - thank you!! Isn't it funny how we must first stroke and properly love our new goodies before we can use them??? And sometimes not even then, lol! Feel better!

Happy Crafting!

Hi there

That left side of your desk looks like lots a fun projects ahead!!!
Boxes of card packs do make nice gifts don't they? I am making some right now too as I need some for a hostess gift and then I am also giving some to a lady whose finances are really tight.

Hope you are feeling stronger soon...
