WOYWW

Good morning everybody! Its 1 minute past 6 in the morning here in sunny South Africa. The sun is up, the birds are singing and I am already posting. LOL I walked into my craftroom this morning to pack up for school and thought you would like to see what I have been up to.
My craftroom is the only place in the house where I get left alone to do my thing - I think DH is scared that he might catch the crafting bug if he ventures in there, so he only comes in there in an emergency (you know, one like: Have you seen my blue pants?)
Anyway, apart from crafting, I also do most of my marking (grading for those of you in the US) in there. Last night was no exception. Had to mark comprehentions. This is what I found in my room this morning.
My Copics next to my marking? No, I do not mark in rainbow colours - although.... that might be an idea. I was sitting there, marking away like a good teacher should, when I started hearing voices. They were saying things like: 'when are you going to colour me?' and 'don't you think that stamp would look good if you colour it green?' Now, what is a girl to do? I just had to colour a 'liitle' bit inbetween, didn't I? If you look closely, you will see my Cricut Expression in the background, ready to spring into action whenever I need him.
Here is another angle of my desk. You can also see my Copics more clearly and yes, the two middle parts are full of Stickles and my refills. I don't have refills yet for all the colours I own, but I am working on that slowly. You can also see the little orange metal buckets that hold my scissors (does any of you also own that many?) I never knew just how many pairs of scissors I had untill they were all in one place. There is another one for all my adhesives and another for all my go to pens and pencils. Behind that is my tote that holds my rulers (why do I need 25?), my foam squares and my pliars. (well actually my DH's pliars, but if you don't tell, I won't either.)
Pop over to ( http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com ) to see what everybody else's desks look like today and while you are there, why don't you join in?
Have a great day evryone, I hope to have time to post later, but I can't promise anything. I have to run a few errand for DH and its my son in law's birthday, so we were invited for supper.

  5. Yes girlfriend, I have scissors aplenty too - although I only have 1 ruler. It's probably a teacher thing! Happy to hear the Copics talk toyou - for me it's the stamps. I do the old 'I'lljust do 10 minutes of the chore and then 10 minutes of the nice thing..' and so on. Doesn't work!

  11. Yep, I have more scissors than I can count, although most of them are dull as dirt. I also have several rulers in various increments. I, however, have NO copics or even any stickles. Lovely post. Happy belated WOYWW.

  12. Every Crafter realizes that once they oraganize their space I have at least 4 scissors on the go and that's not including the ones stashed around the house
