WOYWW 87

-
 Its that time of week again and if you are one of the few people who doesn't know what I am talking aboout
pop over the Julias Addictive Blog Stamping Ground and have a look

On my desk this week are a couple of challenge cards I have been working on
You can also see my new cupcake note book to write the challenges in
Better than wasting printer paper
And it matches my glass mat which by the way I love

 This shows the desk as I sit at it and you can see the cards I have made this week so far
The pictures have been taken late Tuesday evening as I leave for work just before 7am
One of the cards I have finished and can be seen in the here

As I have now shown you all the drawers of my little craft space
I thought I would show my little cupboard that sits in the hall
Its a computer cupboard but as I have a smart new laptop I dont of sit there
So I have my smart wireless printer sat at the top
Then on the shelve below is my white card drawer and my craft robo
The neat plastic folders are all our household bill etc
See its not just my crafting that is OCD

Have a great Wednesday will be popping around as many as I can when I get in from work

Oh Nicky - you are impressively well organised. I bet you can just whizz through the day to day stuff and get right to the crafting with that sort of neat and tidy system. So why I ask, do they call you Naughty Nicky?!! You have a lot of PMs..your chart is early full!

very nice desk! The stamped images and coloring is awesome. I too use a lap top so maybe I will switch my computer stuff around to make more room for my crafty stash. Thanks for the idea.

Glad I am not alone in being tidy, organised and almost COD...comes of having been a teacher and having short-term memory loss so have to write things down, store carefully etc. I do admire all you challengers...keeping up with our own card output, orders and stock-making is enough! Shirley #52

I am curious to know what the pink thing is just to the left of your lovely cup cake notebook. It looks almost like a Nintendo. I am very impressed with a wireless printer. anything that lessens the spaghetti behind and all around my computer would be good. I seem to collect peripherals which all bring at least two extra cables to add to the mess.

That is so too organised. And yes it does take a long time to recover from a night out, bearing in mind by the time we went out Saturday we were still recovering from Thursday night wine club (see pic on my blog),and sad to say its thursday now and i'm home cause everyone else is still recovering from saturday!!!

What a tidy work desk, I find that it's so much easier to find things when everything is in it's place. I really like your glass mat and the matching notebook. Wonderful cards on display and the Naughty Nicky sign... love it!

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...
