WOYWW - Actually not what, but who?

I know everybody says so every week, but I can not believe its Wednesday already. Who stole Friday, Monday and Tuesday? Come on, own up, who was it?
I took the photo's for WOYWW early this morning before school, but did not have a chance to upload them. My daughter has a parents meeting at her school tonight, so Tertia-Lee is sleeping over and coming to school with me tomorrow. You know how it is, if the grandchildren are around, there are far more important things to do than blog - things like making necklaces and crowns fit for princesses. After her bath she disapeared into my craftroom to 'work', so I thought I would quickly upload the photo's from this morning. This is what I found when I walked into my craftroom to fetch my camera and I could not resist. She has her own little spot at my craft table, but ouma's spot is far better.
I did manage to visit everybody again last week, even if it did take me till Monday night. :) If you are wondering what I am talking about, hop over to Julia's blog and join in the fun. (http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com )Not so sure I will make it this week though, because I got all the girls in my classes to start blogging and that means that I have to visit and comment on 84 blogs every day, so forgive me if I don't get to all of you this week.
On my desk you can see a finished card that is part of a set that I am making for a friend as a Birthday gift. You will also see some coloured images, ready to go on cards, other than that there is not much happening. My desk actually looks very tidy (for me that is exceptionally tidy!) Yes, those are nuts - I am trying to eat a little bit healthier. I don't know why one person would need that many white (thats one of two white containers) and red flowers, but I can assure you, I do NEED them!

To the left of my workdesk there is this rotating paperback book stand that I rescued at school when the librarian threw it out. I was planning to paint it orange to go with the tablecloth and curtains, but other things were more important, I might still do it one day, when the pink becomes too irritating.
Next to the stand is my die cutting station, with my Cricut ready to go. The poster on the wall is supposed to help me see things in perspective, but it doesn't always work. Next to that is the chocolate stand that my DH rescued from the dump, filled with all my little embellishments.
That's all folks.
Hope to see you before next Wednesday.
Have a great week.

  2. How wonderful to have your grand daughter come visit and play at your desk. Nothing better than shared time together. I love your poster, as long as it helps you balance yourself now and then it is working its magic ;-) i love your workspaces and storage ideas.

  16. WOW why can't I find stuff like that for storage. That chocolate display your DH found for you is just the ticket for storing stuff. I like the paperback rack too for storing cards/embellies etc. Awesome room. Baby girl is gorgeous! Mine only grandchild is 23mo and lives in Germany! Don't get to see her much!

  17. Sorry I didn't visit last week, even though you came by to see me. As you read, I was in crisis mode. Your desk is really neat and I have rack envy (grin). It sure holds a lot of your stash and I love the price, too! I would be remiss if I didn't say how cute your darling g'daughter is. Happy belated WOYWW from #10.

  27. Boksburg, eh? I've been there! Was WAY back in '95, but I stayed with an English friend who emmigrated in '83. Loved staying there...

    I like your storage, not least because it's recycled - well done on your acquisitions!
