WOYWW: What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 540

I've made some changes. My desk is rather clear, and it's because I am re-evaluating the kind and number of challenges in which I participate. It isn't easy to pick and choose, because the challenges change weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly. I can't do them all, even though I think I could. I need to take a breather. So, the way for me to do that is to start over. Here's my desk:

This is Tangerine, Tangy for short. I still have a few thing to put away.

This is on the floor to my left while sitting. The box on the left are my collection of adhesives, and the box on the right holds some supplies I was using. Those supplies need to be put in their rightful spot.

This is on the floor to my right. On the left are paper tablets, a scoring tool and my Misti. On the right are packages of papers I need to put away. In the middle are my scraps. The more creative I am, the more and more I fill it, but I also use some scraps -- as long as they're near the top. I really need to go through that!

As I mentioned, there are things that need to be put away. That will take some time. For example, I have to organize all of the dies in order to have them all fit in their space. I think I have way too many, and I'm not sure how I can keep track of what I have. I won't be buying more anytime soon. I also have to box away some stamps, which are quite organized. I hope I don't run out of room in those boxes!

Not much has changed. I still haven't put away my clean stamps, and I have dirty just about the same amount. Another thing: I haven't been as productive.

The last thing I did was make the ATC for my swap group.

There are still boxes under the table, but I have added stamp sets to the top.

Same here...just getting taller.

It's time to get back to doing challenges.

Now, I'm off to see how the others in the group have done.

I still have a bunch of stuff on my desk. I can't see that changing, as long as there are challenges to be met!

This is the top of my desk where I am surrounded by just about anything I might need.

This is underneath the desk where they have been for weeks waiting for me to put my previously-used, now-clean stamps away. 

These little towers seem to be growing!

This tower has maxed out. Time to put those stamps and other supplies away. Will it happen this week? Dunno!

Thanks to my fellow deskies for checking out my mess! Now, I'm going to check out theirs.

Another week has passed, and my desk is cleaner! I finally cleaned all the stamps, but they are sitting by the sink in the en suite. I have yet to put them away. That's why the many shoe boxes are still out...er...stacked and under!

All of the Distress Ink pads are still out, because I'm still using them! Look!!! I actually have space to work! That tag with the butterflies is something I finished up a couple of hours ago.

This is a stack of boxes that house some of my stamps. When I get ready to put the clean stamps away, they will go into these boxes and the boxes get put on the shelf.

These boxes are under the table. Some clean stamps will go into these, also.

I can finally breathe in my craft space. I think I'll be putting the clean stamps away tomorrow, because I'm sure my sweetie would appreciate it since I'm using "her" bathroom!

What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 536

Stamping Ground has an event every Wednesday asking us to show photos of our desk. So far, mine is only getting worse!

This photo shows my desk to the left of my proverbial square foot (and shrinking) of actual working space. There's my stack of recent cards just left of center in the foreground. The tower of used stamps grows on this side.

The tower of used stamps grows here, too.

To the right of the paper cutter are paper remnants. I did clean this off, because it was getting to the point where the remnants were too thick, so I tossed them in the scrap bin which is just below the paper cutter. Sometimes, I actually sift through there to find a small piece of card stock to use.

This is underneath the table...boxes of rubber stamps and my heat gun.

This is another tower of rubber stamps and supplies.

There's a box of supplies that I have or haven't been using. It needs to be put away! Katie, my sweetie, started another box of recent acquisitions. I didn't take a photo of that. I forgot.

So, there you have it. I've been quite productive, but soon, I am going to have to put stuff away and clean an awfully big bunch of stamps. Maybe if I ask Katie real nice and sweet, and if she isn't grading papers, maybe she'll help me out. Keeping my fingers crossed!

My desk has only gotten worse. I have not cleaned it or put things away in more than a week, but I have to say that my productivity is very high. So, I'll leave it for now. If the hurricane hits like it should AND we are without electricity for any length of time, I'll consider putting some things away.

The pile of supplies gets higher. 

The pile of potential elements gets higher, but there's my square foot of working space!

There's more paper to the right of the paper cutter. And, below that, the scrap box gets fuller and fuller.

In the box, the newest stuff I got today. To the right, the next to the newest stuff I got last week. I'm on a craft supply diet!

These are boxes of supplies and stamps next to the table. There are more UNDER the table along with my heat gun.

So that's today's confessions. On the other hand, I have made a multitude of cards and tags in the last week.

WOYWW 534 - What's On You Workdesk Wednesday

(If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.)

My desk is full, so full that it has spilled onto the floor on the left and to the guillotine paper cutter table to the right. It's a mess, but I also know where everything is, and it's within reach! Here's the proof:
 

Bottom left: cards that have been made, recent ATCs, blue masking tape (that I just realized my cat has been into), and a package of T!m Holtz's paper dolls (I think they're called). Midway: label maker for the ATCs and the entire collection of Distress Inks. At the back: brushes, gesso and a collection of paper word strips.

Bottom left: the proverbial 12" square of working space. To the right: clutter of experiments, things that don't need to be on my desk, and on top is a tag I am working on. Middle back: the double-stick tape cozy (because said cat likes to chew on tape) and a variety of controls for the TV and DVD player. In the middle foreground: my massive quantity of scraps, which is on the floor, and the guillotine paper cutter on a small TV tray table.

This is what spilled onto the floor. From the left are watercolor tools, Vivid ink pads, a box of fairly new stuff, a pencil case that holds acrylic blocks and the waste basket. As a bonus, there are wet paper towels that are drying. Another cat enjoys ripping the paper towels (and toilet paper) apart.
