Wild and Wacky Workdesk Wednesday

I'm going to go backwards this time (so I can be wild and wacky) and starting with the project I worked on.  Many asked to see my new caning pattern anywhere punch in action and so I finally put together a card to show it off:

And here's the desk where it was created at.  I shot the photo at a different angel this time (wild and wacky, ya know).  I realize my desk looks rather staged, but it isn't.  I tidied it up this past weekend and so far have kept it that way.  The caning punch has been on my desk as a reminder to use it.  It is true that I propped up the card for this shot but the rest is as it was.  You can see a roll of my new Tim Holtz tissue tape.  I got a packet of two rolls, one has music bars and the other is newsprint.  I think it will be fun to play with.  You can also see my new Martha border punch called four petal eyelet.  Stuff is still stacked up for Valentine card making.

Here's a wide view.  See, still stuff piled underneath the desk. Don't expect that to change.  Probably, ever.

I'm rather proud of this nest photo as I cleaned off the table top and the little cabinet next to it.  I even poked around in that big white basket that I never touch to see what was in it.  I have no clue what to do with the stuff in it.  There are two Papertrey Ink sets, a box of DCWV pre-printed card bases (autumn themed), a ribbon iron (that I use often), several of the freebies from the UK crafting magazines, and many, many plastic baggies of left over project bits from when I taught classes at my stamp club.  Most of it has places it could go, but ick, it sounds like work to get it there.

I was invited to check out this Snippet Challenge and I just might participate in it.  I often have left over tids and bits from crafting. I tend to stack them up on the top part of my desk.  I don't go back through them very often and that challenge will help with that.  Lately I've been throwing my snippets in a box and sending them to a friend.  Here are my snippets.

Edited to add: Oh hey, I'm terrible at remembering to tell you if you want to snoop around some other people's desk or see what What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday is all about go HERE to Julia's blog, Stamping Ground.
