WOYWW

Howdy and welcome to my share for WOYWW, As you may be able to see, haven't changed the desk much since last week (or the week before either). I have been working on some organizing of Spellbinders - making some progress that only I can see! We did get the old sewing machine with its wooden topper moved and a larger folding table in that space. So the Genesis cutter is back in its place, along with my Scor-Buddy and I was able to add the Vagabond that Sizzix sent to replace the wonky electric Big Shot Express. I did get that tool removed from its packing box--finally.

As you can see, on the desk there is a card - which I shall post later, some MS punched valentines, an EK Success punch being used for a project, some MS punches, a spool of Christmas ribbon, and a S/Binder diecut of a recycled Christmas card (the angels, of course!). In addition to Cardinals, I'm also a lover of all things angel. I am loving this idea of recycling Christmas cards, so started this one last evening. It's rather large so I'm trying to think of something that won't be an 'odd sized' card. We spent far too much in postage this last December, because of odd sized envelopes or too much layering (even though I do cut out the underneath of the S/Binder where one doesn't see.) I'm trying to keep that in mind as I do any cards this year, except for ones that I shall hand deliver. The ribbon is from the Dollar store, and I thought it was pretty, and might be utilized as part of a card background. As mentioned in a previous post, we moved an old sewing machine with a wooden topper that served as a cutting station. The larger folding table is now in place, and I was able to add the Vagabond that Sizzix sent to replace the wonky electric Big Shot Express. I think I'm going to like this different arrangement. I have one of the Art Bin storage containers on the table, and to answer a blogger question as to how many S/Binders this case will hold: this particular one has 2 sets of dies per page, of all my S/B label dies. I think I have 28 labels, so that would be 14 sheets. I can add more sheets I think, but it will be heavy. My plan is to put 'categories' in different bins...I think my next bin will have motifs & accents, or something of the sort. That way I can label the container, know what is in it, and not spend so much time hunting for a specific die.

 

So thanks for joining me this morning, so now have a look 'round at some of the other desks around the crafting world. You'll get some marvelous ideas while having a fun journey. Come again soon. Hugs.
