Thought I would be one of the last this week!
Had a busy day at work but when I came home I had two parcels waiting for me
So had to have my tea first then sort out boring washing then finally I got to open them :)
In one parcel was a sew easy kit by We R Memory Keepers
I like the sewing effect on cards but my machine broke and I cannot be bothered with all the pricking lol
With this I can sew or do faux stitching but it gives a nice even holes to follow
I also received some decoupage and a embossing folder of drips
So my desk doesnt look as tidy as normal but everything will be put in it place later
On my journey to show you what I keep in my drawers
My second drawer up on the left side hold my envelopes
and a box of plastic number as well as my camera charger
This final picture shows my dog whose name I used for the name of my Blog
Because he was found abandoned the kids named him
'Stig that was Dumped' after the book Stig of the dump
His known as Stiggy and this is him hoping I am not going to make him go out in the cold
Well I managed to nose at lots of desks last week I have a few days of this week so hopefully I might get round them all
If you have not got a clue what this is all about pop over to Stamping Ground and join in the fun
Love
x Nicky x

Oh I enjoyed that snoop. I am amazed by the number of pets that like their owners chairs. My Toby used to sit on my knee and stop me from crafting!! Actually (says this in private) he used to follow me to the bathroom and sit on my knee there too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (13)

ooh Nicky , you are a tidy worker huh - all that excitement of new stuff and no parcel or packaging even in the shot - and you contained yourself and did chores first. How admirable! Enjoy the sew easy - show us some results won't you?!

Your dog is gorgeous, cannot understand some people - fancy dumping a dog! And how on earth do you wait to open parcels, I'm ripping mine open before I've even closed the door to the postman! I've seen that new stitching tool in action and it is fab - enjoy! :-)

Lovely new crafty candy! Now your camera charger?? Hmm, that sounds so much better than MY camera, which has batteries, that keep going flat. and my cat has now taken to sleeping on my printer, and not my chair (luckily...she'll wait out side the loo but doesn't come in!) Very tidy crafty space, thanks for popping over, I'm nowhere near half way round yet. Have A Happy WOYWW ((Lyn))

Hi Nicky, Your desk is lovely, all that polished wood. Hope you enjoy playing with your new goodies. Thanks for your comment on my blog and the idea of sellling the little machine for more stash is tempting however I don't think DH would be best pleased :) Elizabeth #44

Yes, indeed. Stiggy does look as if he's keeping a low profile. He's beautiful.

Don't know how you could make tea and sort washing out before opening parcels. I would have had to put everything on hold.
Love the picture of Stig - what a beautiful dog - amazes me how people can abandon (or worse, be cruel) to animals. Glad he has a loving home

I'm afraid everything would have had to wait, the papers would of been ripped off as soon as I got in the door. Love your desk and it's so tidy. Thanks for the snoop and for visiting me! Carolxx....79

You are scarily well organised, lady! Thanks for your visit and I hope you stuck to the close up shots and didn't look too closely at my desk - it would probably give a tidy girl like you heart failure!!

What a lovely smart crafting desk you have and it does look very tidy and organised. I saw the sew easy thingy on QVC but decided against it - so will be interested to hear how you find it.

Your dog looks very comfortable x

Thanks for stopping by my desk already.

Such a beautiful crafting space; that desk is truly gorgeous. I am blown away by your self discipline in doing the chores before you opened your parcels. Glad to see Stiggy looking so snug on the chair.

Thats the exact position my dogs have adopted - scrunched up into a tight ball. Mine look like smaller versions of yours, a Jack Russell and a Jack Russell/whippet cross :P Aint no budging them.

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
