That insanity started earlier this week when I decided that it was time to find out exactly what was in all those piles and nooks and crannies. I really got gung-ho and went to town, but then people started calling me. I'm not a chat on the phone kind of girl and after a couple of conversations my will to live is usually zapped, never mind the will to clean (where does that come from anyway?), plus it was bedtime. Then it was a whole new day with a whole new set of phone calls and a whole lotta nothing. My goal, besides finding what was on the desk was to get all the holiday papers and stuff picked up and put away-ish so that I could get on to the next phase of life. But I just couldn't get going.
After days of picking at it, I finally just did it, and I threw in the table for good measure too.
It isn't all as impressive as it looks as now there are random piles of crafting cra.. stuff in other areas of my house. I did start a small stack of Valentine stuff to try to get me in the mood. The other pile is stuff from the snow kit for my giveaway HERE minus the Tonic thread cutter which is being sold to distress edges that I want to try out since A Muse sells it and I sell A Muse so I should be familiar with their products.
Sorry this is such a dull post, but it's all I got. Well, that and picture of some of the several hundred dollars of rubber I bought yesterday:

Hey, you've done SOME tidying, that's a whole heap more than men - though I have great plans, oh yes, indeedy. The Christmas decorations are coming down tomorrow, corners dusted, cats hoovered - you know the kind of thing!! All so I can have a tidy house with which to greet 2012 - it just makes me feel better, so it does :)
Wishing you a very Happy and Exciting New Year!
Hugs, LLJ (Normal) xx
Men?? That was typo - I meant 'me' lol xx
You are motivated! want to come work on my space? lol Guess not, but figured it was worth a shot! Happy New Year from North Carolina!
Good tidying up. Mines all still in boxes. Still have unpacking to do to make mine untidy. Yea. Wishing you all best for 2012
Love your roll-top desk, always wanted one of those but the only one I have is a miniature one in my dolls house.
Well done on the tidying, just think of it as an opportunity to get it all messy again and of all the fun you will have doing just that.
Thanks for dropping by at mine.

Wasnt a dull post - I never knew you could dust a desk so I have learnt something! Sorry you had to spend a fortune for rubber on your car and not some lovely new rubber stamps! Thanks for all the lovely comments you have left me these past few months and I hope you have a lovely new year too.
That desk is such a gorgeous piece of furniture- all those drawers & cubbyholes!I hope you had a great Christmas, and have a very Happy New Year, love Shaz xx
I think it’s always good to have a right old tidy up, especially as we go into a new year but for me this year it’s not going to happen. Because of the problems before Christmas I’m so far behind with making the birthday cards needed for the start of January that the cleaning is going to have to go on hold until I’ve finished them………hopefully tomorrow with a bit of luck.
Happy New Year to you and
Happy Crafting!

Love you new rubbers......not the most Fun thing to have but diffently a must have!
Now that your desk is all Clean.... Now what's next>>>>
Thanks for stopping by and the kind words too!
Happy New Year!!!
Not dull at all, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and spying your so tidy spaces, and fully sympathise with your expensive rubber. As the owners of two 4x4 motors (needed for towing), that is a serious expense. Enjoy crafting in your newly tidies space. Have a wonderful New Year full of good health, happiness and fun. Maggie #49
Wow so tidy. I never seem to get mine that way.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. The squares on my journal are to write a little something each day. I plan to keep it up all year.
Happy WOYWW

Just love a neat desk - have to tidy mine regularly - not dusted it recently though :-))
Hey! Thanks for picking me as a winner, I don't know your e-mail but mine is sandeesetliff@yahoo.com I still laugh when I see that picture you made tht day! Your a hoot!
Ah Judy, I'm still at the 'picking at it ' stage, you may be the hit I need to just get it over with! Nor are you alone with the expensive rubber....mine get changed tomorrow. Bit like buying underwear these days, functional, expensive and not always noticed!!!
Love those rare occasions when my desk is clean! Yours look lovely!
Ahh. Don't you just feel so much better now? I had a good clean just before Christmas and I have to say it was quite liberating!! Expecting snow in your area??
