Hi there everyone and welcome to the massive blog hop of desks in all their glory, big ones little ones, empty ones and full ones; messy ones and tidy ones; Julia over at
Stamping Ground has the lot! I've had a load of fun this week and my desk reflects that so I make no apologies this week for the state of my place!
Has he NO shame I hear you say? Naah, not this week. What you see is the leftovers of a creative zone after being in full swing; I've managed to finish about 4 or 5 pages in my journals that have been brewing in my mind for a while now. I've made a book from scratch; finished off some class samples and managed to get ever so slightly ahead of some deadlines so I'm feeling pretty chuffed even if I'm so cold I can't feel my toes!
So in the middle is one of my pages (apologies for the weird colour, it looks much better but in this light if my camera wants to over compensate it will, no matter what I do!) The right hand side is finished and the left will be finished sometime soon; just brewing a bit in my mind still!)
On the right here is this box, which some of you will have seen before. I use it now to keep all the stuff that I use a lot of in my journalling classes as well as my own journalling, in one place, so all the old gift cards, lids, charcoal pencils and pens etc. Anything that I find useful to make a mark on a page will end up in here..... so won't be long till it's full I guess!
Anyway, better don the thermals and get back out there, I'd better tidy the mess up a bit and pack for my class on Friday at
The Craft Barn; I'm also demoing there on Saturday the 4th February so if you are in the area do pop along for a day of fun and inspiration.
Cheerio folks; hope you all have a blessed and creative day!

Ah, you're in the groove, on a roll....bet the cold has kept you going too! Loving the look of your desk, don't tidy on my account! Also love the little sign hanging at left front!!
Oh never be ashamed Neil, you are an artist and artists need to be creative when the mood strikes, and you need all your creative stash about you for the inspiration so no tidying, just leave a space big enough for you to continue creating wonderful projects, I am in Kent too and have managed to visit the Craft Barn a couple of times, (i have to be careful I could get in serious financial trouble if i visited more (not that its expensive, i just want it ALL) I am more of a cutsie colouring crafter but your work does look amazing and very inspirational well done in getting ahead and braving the cold! Hope you have a great week, Lou @ #26
I love your desk, it looks great, like loads of fun stuff has been happening.

Fab journal pages - your desk is obviously the result of much creativity -(Hazel, WOYWW #10) x
Loving the bomb site that is unashamedly your desk! Snap in my studio shed. See you tomorrow!!
Leandra
I absolutely LOVE your journal!!!! Have a scrappy week!!!
Love the desk so much to see - glad you have had a great time playing - have a fun week
Busy desk as usual ... I so love that box ...and the quote on the journal made me smile.
The best part of cleaning it up is that you will be basking in the glory of your finished creations. They look great.
Oh my, oh my ... you have been busy. My camera has a mind of its own too and I can imagine that you tried several shots before giving in. I have a box full of similar bits and bobs but the lid isn't as beautifully decorated as yours ... well, not decorated at all :) Hope you have a wonderful week. Elizabeth x #78
Great desk, it really does look like you've had fun! Your book looks great too.
I'm attempting to visit everyone on the WOYWW list this week. t'is a daunting task but at least I'm trying, more than I've done before!
