A Different Kind of WOYWW

I thought I would link up to the Stamping Ground WOYWW
What, you may be wondering is this?!?!?
It is saw dust..I have been working on one of my other work desks.

I have been busy working in my Work Shop.
It was out of control and so disorganized.
My plan was to get it in order last year...but with Ashley's wedding, I only had time to make wedding projects in here...not clean or organize.
Then winter came...my work shop is a shed, I designed and then hired a local company to build the shell of it for me...but it doesn't have heat or any lights.
So there is no way I am going in there in the winter...even if Wayne did snow blow a path for me.
So my goal is to get this totally cleaned and organized this summer.
It may take me a few weeks, but I have actually made quite a bit of progress in here already.

There were random tools on the work bench/desk  (I will blame that on Wayne ;)  )
I also had my compound miter saw on here, but I found a better place for it, so now I have some actual work space.
That is my scroll saw you see on the far left, I still would like to find a place for that other then there.
Wayne and I put up some shelves the other weekend, but I have so so so much more to do in here.
I am looking forward to when it is  finally done...hopefully before winter ;)

I hope you all had a creative day :)

Whats on my Work Desk.

I decided to play along with "whats on your work desk" from the "Stamping Ground".

Wayne and I are away and of course I brought some of my crafts with me.
During our down time I decided to put together an Anniversary card.
So my work desk is actually a large hardcover book on the bed at the resort....yes I am still in my PJ's ;)

By the way I completed the card I was working on but I will share that, after I give it to my husband Wayne on our Anniversary this Friday :)
Here is our view...so beautiful, even if it is freezing cold out there.

I hope you all have a very Creative Day :)

Whats on my Work Desk

How much mess can I can make working on my planners…
Apparently a lot, lol.

I thought I would share my work desk with the many other interesting and creative desks on the Stamping Ground's WOYWW.

Ashley and I worked on our planners and this is only my mess…Ashley and I had already cleaned up her area, lol.
I seem to like to use a lot of supplies.

I hope you all have a very Creative Day today :)

WOYWW….too much.

Whats on my Workdesk Wednesday…… a lot, lol.

Actually I have a couple of desks covered in projects.
My craft room desk has stuff on it that needs to be put away…so instead of doing that, I just moved onto another desk ;)
The much loved altered pool table made into a craft table :)

When my friends came over yesterday to create….I started on yet another Pocket Letter….so now I have 3 in the making.
I honestly don't really have time for them because of the prep of the Bridal shower and the wedding, but….I figured I will keep my weekly crafty time with my friends for this type of creating…nothing wedding related.
Unless I get overwhelmed and delegate some projects to my friends ;)

I wanted to make another project for the Bridal Shower so I moved over to another section of the craft/pool table (I love how big this is) and started this project.
I am sure by the photo, you may guess what I am working on.
I did complete this project and will share it after the Shower.
I even set up the camera and video'd bits and pieces….not sure how that video will turn out? It may not make to my YouTube channel, lol.

I hope you all had a very Creative Day.
And if you would like to see some other works in progress on some talented crafters desks, check out the "Stamping Ground's" blog :)

Whats on my Desk #301

Because I have been sharing my organizing and cleaning routines many of you are delusional on how I really live, lol.
And just to share how a lot of the areas in my home look, I thought I would share with you my desk.

Scary, yes I know.
And the sad thing is, I have been working on the pool/craft table lately, so I really have 2 messy desks..oh ya and the couch….I work on the couch in the evenings, lol.
The only reason there is a bit of space on the right is because I had my drawers there to do a video, as I prop my tripod on there.

Ashley came over last night to look at some paper for her guest book she would like me to make and I almost took a tumble over a few containers on my floor.
So as you may have guessed, my desk isn't the only unorganized area in my craft room….or house for that matter.

I really need to put some time aside to get my room in order….but then again, that takes away from the fun of actually creating ;)
Oh I live such a hard life, lol.

I hope you all had a very Creative Wednesday :)
I am linking my post to WOYWW

Clean Desk…and room :) WOYWW

Today I spent a lot of my time in my craft room.
Unfortunately I wasn't creating.
I was cleaning, and boy did it need it.
But honestly, I love cleaning and organizing my supplies.
Sometimes I think I make a huge mess, just so I can clean it up and organize it again.
Maybe that is why my house is a mess, lol.

 I had mentioned yesterday, that I have trouble getting rid of the most useless stuff.
Just take a look at the packaging.
I have no idea how long I have held onto this because the shape is so fun :)
I kept telling myself that I can make something of this.
And I still believe I can…..but after a couple of years of holding onto it, I threw it out.
Hmmmm, do you think I should fish it out of the recycles?

Because I worked so hard on tidying up my room, I thought I will share my post on the Stamping Ground's "What's on your Workdesk, Wednesday"
So many great creative work areas on her blog today :)

I hope you all had a very Creative Wednesday :)

Tracy :)

WOYWW, it is a scary sight at times ;)

I thought I would join in with WOYWW today.
WOYWW is hosted by Julia. If you check out her blog "Stamping Ground" you can check out what everyone else is working on :)
Doesn't this just make you want to create :)

Well it didn't start that way.
I am sad to say that this is how it started.
I am even sadder to say that I didn't even create on this desk.
This is just me putting things on my desk that I didn't want to deal with at the moment.
I had to clean it all off before I even could start to make anything.

Look I actually had a chance to create…that was after I cleaned my desk off, lol.
If you look closely, you can see that I am working on my Tim Holtz March tag.
Yes I make this much of a mess while creating, lol.

I did complete my March tag (I will share that tomorrow) and I did clean off my desk after I made it :)
It is all ready for my next creative adventure :)

I hope you all had a very creative Wednesday :)

Creative Mess, snacks and WOYWW

This has been my snack of choice for the last couple of weeks.
When Kristy saw me with these she asked me "What are you mom…6".
She is one to talk, her and I have been eating Fruit Loops for breakfast, for the last couple of months, lol.

I got to play a bit today.
Look how nice and clean my desk it :)
I started on my challenge card for this month.

Didn't take long for my desk to be full and chaotic….well chaotic to the uncreative ;)
I will link this post to WOYWW (Whats on your work desk Wednesday)

Remember yesterday's post (LINK) about my  Smash book looking more like scrapbooking then smash booking.
Well here are the pages that I did that are more like Smashbooking. I added some hotel card keys, business card, envelope from the hotel.

On this page I added a coaster from Red Lobster, another card key envelope that I decorated up and store names from the receipts or pamphlets.
I still like my pages that look more like scrapbook pages though.

I tried a new recipe tonight.
It was so easy, mix everything up and then don't worry about it while it cooks…..my kind of cooking :)
Under all this cheese is tortellini, tomatoes and sauce…and a bit more…but here is the link to the recipe if you want it. LINK

I still haven't finished my card for this month. It will be completed tomorrow :)
I hope you all had a creative Wednesday :)

Messy Desk for WOYWW

Today I thought I would join in on the Stamping Grounds, Whats on your work desk Wednesday (WOYWW)
I should be ashamed to be sharing my desk actually, lol.
1st job....eat the chocolate bars, teehee.

But look.....Its all nice and clean now ;)
I have the urge to create some scrapbooking layouts, I haven't done a layout in forever.
In order to do that I needed to clean my desk.
Isn't all nice and pretty ;)

Now to tackle the rest of the room.
I just came back from a 2 day crop...and if you are like me...you have to take all your supplies out in order to figure out what you want to bring...at least thats my story, and I'm stickin' to it, lol.

See my "Creat" letters on the wall. It is suppose to say "Create" but that darn "E" keeps falling off, no matter how much adhesive I add to it.

But lets get back to this picture...oh so nice and calming.
Makes me want to create :)

I hope you all have a wonderful, creative Wednesday :)

WOYWW, Working on my Traveling Tote

Today I am working on something I have been planning on doing for the last month or so.
I have my Day Planner, Smash book and journals... and a whole lot of mess ;)
I usually work on my books while Wayne and I watch television. He likes for me to be with him, so encourages me to bring my supplies up from my craft room.
So instead of running up and down the stairs, and getting Wayne to pause the movie we are watching...I decided to put together a supply kit I can keep in the living room so I don't have to leave all the time and so it doesn't look like I trashed my living room, lol.
Plus we go to the cottage almost every weekend, so with this all put together it will be so much easier for me to grab my travel kit and head out the door.
Wish me luck in condensing 3 project supplies into one tote :)

I just realized that it is Wednesday, so I can share my desk on Julia's blog for her "What's on Your Workdesk" post :)
Mind you this is my dining room table and not my actual craft desk.

Onto My Day:
I did my hour long walk.
Then Ashley came home for lunch.
Kristy took her college class exam, as yesterday when I brought her there, the teacher wasn't there. He phoned me today to tell me it was his error as he forgot...no sh1t sherlock. She was there on time, waited for 45 minutes and phoned him and emailed her other teacher as she waited for him.
So the teacher set up the exam, at her high school. she took her exam and figures she did very well on it :)
After school I took Kristy and her friend Allison for ice-cream.
It has been a tradition with me to take my daughters out for ice-cream at the end of the school year. Since my other daughters have been out of school for a few years, that  just leaves Kristy left, so we have taken her friend Allison with us for the last few years :)
Spent a good part of the day putting a video together for my Traveling tote. Hopefully I can share that tomorrow :)

I hope you all have had a creative Wednesday :)
