WOYWW- September 3- First Time!

Hello Fellow Crafteteers and WOYWW Peeps!

My name is Kathy Jo and this is my first time posting on WOYWW.  (insert applause here) I am fortunate to follow some very talented and awe-inspiring crafters out there that participate in WOYWW.  It is too fun seeing their work desks and what projects they are working on.  Finally, I am taking the leap and sharing my space.  My happy, messy, busy, crafty space...and I love it!

Above is my work surface.  I go through spells in my crafty space.  If I made a card using a particular pad of paper or stamp set and if I don't put it the item back in its place right away then I keep using it.  For example, 3 days in a row I made cards using paper from the same pad.  I guess that is not a bad thing and at least I am using the product!  Yesterday I took photos of a Christmas card I made using a Quietfire stamp set, white embossing powder and some kraft paper.  Yesterday evening I had a eureka moment on what to do with some scrap kraft paper and other papers...tags.  I used some of the same product used on the card and I used scrap paper.  Finally, I used some of those smaller scrap papers!  BTW, don't be too impressed with the alignment of the tags: I had to organize them on the paper to ensure the glue and Stickles would dry.  The desk looks a little more organized than it would if I was making a card.

On the left side of the desk you can see some items I have been playing with.  One is a matchbox I made with more scrap paper.  I picked up the matchbox die set at a yard sale and am enjoying using it.  It came with not only the die but 3 spacer places.  Score!  You can also see a couple of bottles of Stickles.  I won those a couple of weeks ago on the Sizzix blog when they were introducing the new line of Stickles colors.  So lucky!  

It was very interesting to take a photo of my messy desk and see what is really on it.  It is a reflection of how I work, what I queue on my desk for future projects (all the stuff to the left), and how small of a workspace I really need.  Perhaps I should start a Crafty BAU (like on Criminal Minds) and analyze WOYWW desks.  :)

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to being nosy seeing what is on your work space!  

Have a great day!
Big Hugs!
