What's on Your Workdesk? #220

Hey! Remember WOYW Wednesdays?  Yeah, me too.  So I thought I'd participate today to let the gals know that I am still alive and kicking and still have a desk.

There are some differences from the last time I joined WOYWW.  One is the top right section that is clear. That spot has to stay open now, because whenever we leave one or another kitten gets up there and sits to get some goodbye petting.  If there is something there, they will just knock it off.

To the left of the desk is a new-ish mini easel so I can take photos of my cards.

Under the desk is clean!  That's huge.  You can see one bin of paper under there and a footstool, but other than that there is space!

To the left of my desk on the floor I replaced the old beat up cardboard box filled with plastic bins with some pieces of furniture (Recollections drawers).  Things are very nicely organized in there and I really enjoy having that there.  Those were good purchases.  If you want to know how I get to the bottom drawers of the black cart that the mini easel is on, I just pull out the furniture drawers and move anything in front out of the way.  That sounds like a lot of work but I keep things in there that I don't need to access very often.  There are several drawers of holiday stamps, the drawer of spare envelopes, another drawer of chipboard and corrugated paper, and one filled with fibers.  The chipboard and fibers should be downsized since they aren't my go-to items anymore.

Here's a close up of the left side of my desk.  I included this because the sad thing is on the bottom of that pile is the exact same stuff that was on my desk last time I joined WOYWW months ago.  It is bits leftover from a Simon Says Stamp card making kit.  I keep thinking I'll use up those last little bits but just somehow never get around to it.  The cards are received from recent swaps that I need to acknowledge.  The crinkled ribbon in the front is wrinkled seam binding that I just bought for Halloween. I am loving seam binding for ribbon these days!  The packet of orange sequins were previously swiped by the kittens and I found them today.  I guess they were done using them for whatever project they were working on.

I also included a photo of my table since I often showed that as it used to be a huge disaster area.  Much like the corner of my desk, I have to keep it fairly clean now.  This photo shows you why.  Charles loves to lounge on the table and will stretch out and push off anything he deems is in his way.  We've come to an understanding that I'll keep it clean most of the time and he won't push the Big Shot or the paper cutter off.

The Fine Print: I know that's a lot of words for a WOYWW post and I hope you enjoyed them all.  No telling if I'll get back to being a weekly visitor or not. I am going to challenge myself to use those silly left over bits on my desk and show them off within the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
