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 242

Morning!

Hope you are all well? So it's desk displaying time again so pop over to Stamping Ground - home to Queen Julia of all desks who will explain what this is all about. 

So my desk - 
Usual suspects.

A mess! 

WIP covered deliberately I may add but zoom in to pick out details!!

The reason I keep my working desk in front of the window. Sun and a view. (Though you can't see that, I  can look out across the valley, up to the railway museum and see old steam engines going up and down the line!)

Chaos - so many Smash books!

Well done to those of you who spotted the different radio! My fabulous Union Jack radio broke :( so I bought a new radio because I listen to Talksport everyday. I know! But I love the banter, news and guest interviews.

Self-boasting alert! - Now some exciting news, some of you already know I'm on the Polkadoodles Design Team, well I have recently joined the Graph'it Design Team too!! I was honoured to be asked and as I love colouring, this was an opportunity I couldn't refuse. My first lot of samples were shown on the telebox yesterday. So exciting!!

So that's me, I shall visit you all, I may not always comment but I do pop by. I appreciate all of your love, it makes me smile and these days I need every smiling moment I can get. 

Take care Zo xx

I used to try to listen to Radio 4 or audio books, but I ended up getting so absorbed in what I was working on I would realize an hour (or more!) had gone by and I had NO IDEA what I had heard :) Music is better, and I have to admit the lazy option for me is to select Massive Attack and just let it shuffle play - there isn't much that comes up that actually annoys me and most of it I actively like so that works for me. Nice and tidy, as ever...you are SUCH a neat-nik!

Happy WOYWW!

Radio 4 Fan here, nothing better than crafting to the Archers or a good play. And that is not a mess, well not in my book, am sure you could be a lot messier if you tried harder lol.

I listen to the radio while I work away as well, your view sounds lovely... We sometimes get the odd steam train come past our house normally in December, they look so majestic!

That first photo had me lulled... and then you showed the mess and I had to chuckle. Well done! Congrats on your being chosen for a design team. How fun! Sometimes I think of moving across the room to the window but ultimately it is too cold over there in winter and too hot in summer and the sun is wicked--it will bleach paper and dry out stamps so maybe not.

Ooh, what railway is that then? Do they do driver experience days? I'm looking for a present for my eldest who will be 21 in April and who still loves trains!!
Congrats on the Graphit DT job..was your stuff on Create and Craft then? Ooh, can I have your autograph??

Great looking desk and I wish mine had a view...I wish I just had a window! I am glad you understand my word of the year...not just acceptance of my art but of issues in my life and health. Four doctors visits and xrays, MRI, and lab and not a single idea what is going on with me this month! Ups and downs! Thanks for visiting my desk. Little late getting around this week but hey it is better then never making it to the party! Hope you have a crafty week! Vickie aka Okienurse #53
