Workdesk Wed - Three Zero Four

For today's Workdesk Wednesday shot I have tall view of my desk today that even shows a peek of the outside. I just realized that the wrought iron door sort of makes it look like I'm in a jail cell.  Nope, those doors are just much sturdier than screens and can handle the idle clawing of kitties.

I don't have a closeup view of the stuff on the desk as there isn't much to report about.  There are the usual stacks of things I might work on, the same stack of cling stamps from last week, cards received, scraps, and a corner punch. One project I had finished was front and center on my desk but I removed it as its recipient is a reader of this blog (didn't want to ruin the surprise).

I haven't started the big organizational overhaul of the desk drawers and cubbies yet as I do have some other things to finish up first.  One of them is to prep for a card workshop I am having on the 12th. My friend gave me a lovely postcard inviting me to my own workshop, which I thought was sweet. At first glance I thought she was a whiz with the Stampscapes stamps, but this is a store bought scene.

I recently picked up this stamp set at a used craft sale. I know I've said that I am on a spending moratorium but that doesn't mean I'm never buying another thing. I am just being very cautious with the one or two things I pick up.  This is the only thing I got there. I can't wait to play with them (not that I'll ever have the time).

And here is Poppy kitty, who was sitting on the floor trying to get my attention while I was taking pictures. Since she is a bit rotund she can't get herself thoroughly clean so I've taken to brushing her most evenings. Now she has turned into this black hole of need, crying for attention constantly.  You want to know the trick to send her scurrying?  Break out the cat claw trimmers!  She's not ready for that much grooming.

The Fine Print: My "new" stamps are by Stampin' Up. I really like a lot of their older designs like this; not to diss any of the new designs, but I find myself drawn to these older ones. I'm trying to figure out how to clone myself so my clone can work these 10 hour days (includes lunch and commute) for me so I can have more time to play. If you have suggestions let me know.
