I bet you did not believe that my desk would be clean for three weeks and actually get better with time, well, I did not believe it was possible, but here it is in all its wonderful glory! Looking even better than ever.
You will see the usual got to have close tools, a zillion scissors, some pens, some glue and other important things in my orange buckets and my caddy. There are the stamped MFT image that I want to colour later, the LO that I still haven't gotten to (Mr. Mojo is gone, OK?!) and the beginning of a batch of wedding invitations for a friend's son. Other than that, only clean 'white' space. How did I do it? Its all DH's fault. He found a paper stand at a shop thats closing down and bought it for me, bless his little heart. Thinking and saying that I would never be able to fill it LOL! Well, I had to prove him wrong didn't I, took me a whole day to rearrange the playroom, but look! Now I have my old single paperstand and the glorious new double one!
Of course I have to remind you of DH's other contributions to my playroom. First there is the ribbon storage, that he said I would never be able to fill, poor man, he never learns, does he? Look at the overflow on top and on the shelves!
Here is my sewing cabinet (a gift from my dear mom and dad, many years ago) with some of my creations on top and next to it the chocolate stand that DH saved from the dump.
Tired of looking at my room yet? Thought I would show you the gifts I made for the top four leaders of our school. Their term of office starts when we go back next week. Made each of them an altered notebook and a postit holder. Hope they like it.

Here are some close ups of the note books. All coloured with my beloved Copics and glitterified with Stickles. All cardstock is Bazzil and dp from my scrapbox. Ribbon is from my stash. The first one is for the SRC president, She has the loveliest black hair and this new WOJ stamp reminds me of her.
Next one is for the head girl, the'queen' of the school. She has the poise and grace of a real princess, so I thought this image would be perfect! Also a new one from the WOJ club.
Next one is for the head of Committees, she is an avid swimmer and water polo player, so hence the mermaid from the WOJ club.
Such fabulous storage and great cards on show today! Thanks for the peek! Sarah (at 4)
ReplyDeleteI like a challenge too and if my DH said 'Oh, you'll never fill that box/shelf/storage' (delete as applicable), well, you've just got to prove them wrong, haven't you!! I think your ribbon tower is fantastic - mine are scrunched up into teeny tiny drawers.... husband, where are you?? Come and have a look at this...!!

ReplyDeleteit's a good job you think you are too far away to visit, that work table would be covered in stash and mess and ink and paint and paper and glue and shaving foam and starch...within five minutes of my arrival.
thanks for dropping by my desk this morning.

To do 3 weeks in a row I would have to idy up and leave home!! Welld one. I think, but I hope not at the expense of your mojo. Loving looking at your room - your husband has been so thoughtful..I think you were right not to disappoint him with empty shelves.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a clever hubs you have! Those paper shelves look great and the notebooks will be well received I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteoooh please come and sort my craft space out!!
ReplyDeleteMy kind of desk and I'm now suffering serious storage envy :) What a generous and thoughtful husband you have, and clever too. I've just got to show my DH your ribbon storage - he's a whizz at knocking up that sort of thing too so maybe I'll get lucky. I'm sure the notebooks sets will be really appreciated - they are lovely. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #51
ReplyDeleteI like your space, very fun and bright. I wish I had that much light and life to work in!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post...Love your Little Precious School Creations. What a guy..always thinking of you and your craft. Thanks for the tour, great space..love the ribbon storage unit.Would my 2 cats love to play in that!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy
Oh gosh all these gorgeous craftrooms make my eyes sooooo green!!!! Makes my tray on my bed look a bit silly in comparison. One day....one day.....
ReplyDeleteGreat space you have, and I'm certain the recipients of the gifts will love them.
ReplyDeleteThis new storage rack is awesome. Glad you didn't disappoint hubby by leaving it bare. And that ribbon rack is wonderful. I would LOVE to have something like it. Happy day after WOYWW.
ReplyDeleteOoh those notebooks are lovely! what a wonderful husband you have picking you up things for your craft room!! I really need some new storage!!! great play space!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI begun to think you were not crafting when I spied that tidy desk. Wow, what a DH you have got! Not only the paper and ribbon storage but the rescued chocolate stand too. All look absolutely fab! Let him keep issuing challenges saying you won't fill these things if it means he gets you more storage - a girl can never have too much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes and thanks for the snoop. Hugs, Neet x #5

Hi there! Thanks so much for calling by - I'm afraid I did snort with laughter at your tale about the tumble on the stairs! Thanks for the smile :) When I saw your tidy work area, eyes not focussed properly, I thought it was laid out for dinner! So neat and tidy and I love all your gorgeous storage! Ribbon envy here and you made some fabby gifts for school. Happy WOYWW! Di xx

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your visit this week. It was a great trip, though exhausting. I am so impressed with your tidy space. Mine looks as if several bombs hit it all at once.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm so late in getting around....it's because I've been cleaning my work desk! Love your work and your space.
ReplyDeleteHi Tertia... I really need your email addy to send your birdy cage swap partner ready for Wednesday 7th!!

What a great post! Love your work area and how you have those little "work stations" set up. That paper storage rack is awesome and your husband was really sweet to get that for you. He certainly is a keeper. Then to the gifts you made. I'm just blown over at the thought that went into each one and how the images were selected for each. You are certainly very thoughtful, and I know that they will love and appreciate them. Great post! Best, Curt
ReplyDeleteLove your craft room - I am in the process of moving out of mine (dont like sharing it as an office with OH) and actually putting my stash in the dining room! its a squeeze but at least I will feel like crafting again! (I hope!) - anyway I am going to be sending you the little something I have made for the birdcage swap - if you email me your address at sunshinegirl_hillfield at hotmail.com I will get it posted asap for you. Thanks.
