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 231

Well I'm here! Just. Had a fall last night you see. So I had to lie in, had to, against my will, I really wanted to get up and get on with things. Honest! 

But do not fear desk dashers (pop to the home of WOYWW to join in), I'm ok. Sore. But ok and in one piece. 

I did manage to take photos of my untidy desk, yes untidy, well to me anyway - 

Right side - pens of course, but I thought I'd show what's in front, lots of boxes and that black handle is my grabber so I can pick things up off floor!

Pile of pens, card, papers & stuff!

WIP

More WIP

My altered Embossing box. I covered Keagan's footy boots box with pretty papers and added the bow. It now holds all my embossing folders and the plates/boards for my Ebosser!!

So that's me. Coffee in hand. I've already had my neighbour pop round to check I'm okay having seen about my fall on FB! 
Take care Zo xx

Oh Zo, I really hope you're ok. Falling is bad enough anyway but I know that it must really hurt your body :-( It's nice to see your crafting stuff anyway but I hope you have a quiet day getting better.
Hugs, LLJ 58 xx

Ok dont laugh but I have 3 of those picker up things in my art room and they are all within reach to be used they are the best thing ever, especially if things get into the bay window from the cat knocking them off the desk. LOL

Great idea for the ebosser plates and folders I will have to show you mine one day.

Thanks for sharing.

Happy WOYWW

Yo Zo!

Glad you're ok, if battered and bruised - saw your post on FB so naturally had to toddle on over and wish you better with gentle hugs....

I miss crafting - I don't know where the time goes these days but I don't seem to get anything done. That's all changing but now it's about earning money and not about doing fun stuff. Ho hum....

Catch you around!

Zoe, do take care and hope you are feeling better soon.
I like your box for your embossing folders, I can never find the right size boxes to decorate, but that is pretty.

Oh, Zoe, poor you! Hope you are getting some rest & starting to feel better. Must have been quite painful for you. I agree about Pinterest- I have umpteen boards of 'Inspiration'- still at least I don't have to dust 'em, lol!Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #28 xx

Falling is no good, you can really jar yourself up doing that. I hope you get up and at them again soon. Don't over do it though. Isn't that how it goes though, where when you *have* to lie in you don't want to but on the days you want to you can't because far too much to do. Thanks for the shots of your messy desk. I was pleased to see that you stack beside and under the desk too. Woot! I'm glad I'm in good company.... although I've been better about giving my feet space.

Oh I do like your box. Very nice storage - so nice when it's functional and pretty :) Seems funny to say "Sorry you had to have a lie-in" but hope you feel better!

Happy WOYWW!

Sorry to hear you took a tumble, but glad you are ok.... rest as much as you can.
I don't think I have seen so much stuff in use on your desk, so you must have been having fun

Happy WOYWW and hope you are not too bruised this evening. I have one of those grabbers. It was invaluable when my hip flared up. Your productivity puts me to shame. It takes me ages to do anything. Ali x #55

Hope you're OK and no lasting damage. Love your storage box, it's always such a shame to throw a decent box away! Hugs. Pam#37

Robin said...

Hi Zo! So sorry to hear you had a fall...those are never good, although glad to know you are only sore and not anything worse. Love your storage box. Its so cute with the darling bow and all. I also have one of those picker-uppers. They sure do come in handy. Someday I will have a pen storage like yours and all filled up! Please take good care of yourself and have a wonderful week, Hugs, Rasz #102

Don't feel bad, I tripped over the hose at the gas station a few weeks ago. Banged the knee up to a pretty green-purple hue. Still sore a bit. Lovely idea on the folder holder. Take it easy and feel better!

Zoe....you be careful! Falling is never fun, and tis the season to stay on tour feet! Your desk is so organized, great idea to reporpose the box and it's so darn cute!

It's taken me so long to get here that I am sure you're over your fall ! I love seeing stuff on your desk, out being used like the rest of us, instead of your normally impressively tidy desk!! Have a great weekend. Helen 7
