Goodly morning friends.
Wasn't yesterday lovely and sunny here in the South East of England. I was even able to enjoy the joys of having the studio door open! Hopefully it's the foretaste of good things to come!
So, today it time to reveal your workplace in the weekly smorgasbord that is WOYWW. Hosted by Julia at
Stamping Ground. Here is mine for this week. Not that I am able to do much at the moment other than shift things around. (For those who don't know, I fell and managed to hurt my wrist last week so it's braced and I'm not to use it. Too sore to use anyway!)
So, here it is, full, but not of work really. I've just noticed that the one thing I am working on is almost out of the shot too.
Still, here is a pile of stamps - all my new designs that over time will be winging their way to various peeps.... starting today but more on that later! There are a couple of new goodies, notelets, large paper clips, embossing folder (bargain at £2.00), a couple of polystyrene shapes, ribbon and Idea-ology binders. Not forgetting my new top hat just peeking out, and in the shadows there is a paper mache heart.
Two of my stamps, a background and the matching border stamp. I'm giving this away to one of my followers today so if you'd like to have it, just leave me a comment on this post and I'll draw a winner randomly and announce it next Wednesday.
This 10" tag is what I was working on.....still waiting for inspiration to strike for the finishing!Right, that's me done today, hope you all have a great and creative week ahead.

Morning Neil, sorry to read of your injury - hope you have a speedy recovery. Doesn't stop your desk from being a 'smorgasbord' of crafty stuff though - love the bowler and your new stamps are fabulous - love texture stamps. Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth #26

Happy WOYWW. Hope your wrist heals speedily and you are back to crafting soon. Love your stamp designs. Please do not include me in the draw, as I am resisting adding any stamps to my craft room! Can you do some digi designs? Ali x #22, with candy
Sorry to hear that you are injured - hope it heals up soon! Thanks for the chance to be in the draw for your lovely stamps
Hmmm not sure if my comment saved or not, I got an error and coming back it says it's been saved, so sorry if I am repeating myself! Hope your wrist recovers quickly, and you can get back to doing what you do best. Thanks for the chance to win your candy. Helen, 8
Wow, whoever will be drawn to get these awesome goodies is in for a treat.... sounds awful what happened to your wrist! Get well soon!
Thank you for your generous give-away!

Hi there!
Hope your wrist heals quickly.
I really love your creative blog, I get a lot of inspiration from it!!! Even though I dont write a lot to tell you!
And I was really inspired when you showed your stams the first time. Got to get some of them...
I am not doing WOYWW this week but I am peeking in at others because I am so nosey - Lovely workdesk and I adore that tag! Can't wait to see what the finished tag looks like! Thanks for offering a lucky draw..such a nice thing to do! Love from Laura xxxxxxxx
I didn't realise you'd hurt your wrist quite so badly! Please do as the doctor ordered - though we'll all miss your uber-excellent creativeness - better a little while not using your wrist than a longer time recovering. I do hope it feels a lot better very soon.
I love the 10" tag, and those stamps are delicious!
Apart from all the artsy goodness that's always on your hive of activity desk, I love to see what brands you use - like glue and pens, etc. I guess that if you use it, it's probably a good buy - thanks for sharing!

Running very late this morning at #163 for WOYWW :)

Lovely new stamps and great looking tag. I'm sure you'll find just the perfect way to finish it!
Waving hi from the Pyramids in Egypt!

Happy WOYWW Heather #59
Sorry to hear about your wrist. Hope you have a speedy recovery! Loving the tag! Such wonderful layers of color and the flowers are amazing you decorated with your stamps. I spied an egg on your desk. Can't wait to see what you do with it! Winnie#78
Happy WOYWW so many lovely things to see as always. Having a carpel/RSI flare up myself for last few day and crafting sort of one handed, so empathise with you - and hope your hand is very soon healed. Gill x #45
i'd so love to play with your goodies - it's like aladdin's cave, your desk! and i'd LOVE a chance to win your stamps, so please put my name in the bowler :)
sorry to hear about the wrist - hope it's on the mend...

no. 2
Oh no, poorly wrists and crafters, not a good mix, hope it's better asap so you can finish off that lovely looking tag you're creating. We haven't tried jumbo tags yet, but they're definitely on our to do list.
Lovely tag!
And so much stuff to work with.
We do have some things in common. I have both balcony door and my studio window open today. Feels like spring is here. Sunny and a blue sky!
AND I also fell. Did hurt my hip very badly while springcleaning... :(
Have a great week!
Susan, nr 60 WOYWW
So sorry you have been injured! Hope the healing process is a quick one! Love your tag, it is going to be fabulous!
Glenda #77
The south east was indeed beautiful yesterday! We had a good time out in the sunshine!
Thank you for a lovely giveaway!

It was lovely in the sun - shame it's clouded over today
Sorry to hear you are injured,
I hope you are a quick healer!
Happy Wednesday

hope inspiration strikes soon, would hate for that beautiful tag to become a u.f.o. your stamp designs are lovely too, would love to play with them.
Always love seeing what you are up to and sorry you are still not able to get on with much! Absolutely adore the beginnings of your tag! Chris@95
love your work ! It is so inventive ! Thanks for the opportunity to get two more stamps ! beautiful ones !!!
Yes it was a lovely day in central Florida too. Sad news of your wrist injury. Hope it heals quickly. I think your stamps and masks are so fab! How generous to do a give away. Happy WOYWW! Nan #3
I hope the weather is as nice as yesterday (it isn't at the other side of the North Sea...) and that your wrist heals well. I love all the stuff on your workdesk. Do I spot lino's??? I am not much of a stamper but do use them in my art journals, and your stamp would work really fantastic on my art journal pages - so please, yes, throw my name in the hat. HAppy woyww, Marit #94
That tag is seriously gorg! I love it, and am really liking your stamps - I had to make sure I stopped by to see MORE. Isn't it a pain when ANYTHING keeps us from our desk (or floor or counter or lap even!) Happy WOYWW!

Hi Neil, thanks for popping over. Your desk always looks so interesting and very full. Sorry to hear about your wrist, my grandson broke his 4 weeks ago, it was a buckle fracture and he had to wear a splint, he milked it to the very last minute! I bet you are chomping at the bit already!
Carol.x #49

Hi Neil, I haven't stopped by your blog before but I know I'll be visiting in the future! Sorry you're hurt - my youngest has just had a cast removed from his wrist so I can fully understand your frustrations! Your stamps look fantastic, I can see so many uses for them... have a happy WOYWW MM x #99
Thanks for stopping by and Happy WOYWW to you. Wishing you QUICK relief from that wrist, funny what we take for granted. Lovely colors on that tag and I'm sure the idea will pop.. So many fun things in your photo, enjoy
Thank you Neil for hopping over to my blog! I have been visiting your blog for a while now and really love seeing your wonderful creations!! You desk always looks full of fantastic bits and pieces and the stamps are just GREAT! Sorry that you have hurt your wrist, it must be a pain (sorry pun intended hehe) to not be able to craft until it is healed, which I hope is sooner rather then later :-). Happy WOYWW.
Janene #47

janet #43
Oh my, sprained wrist! Hope it heals quickly so you can create soon. Would really miss your projects. As for the give-a-way, thanks so much. I would love a couple of your stamps.
Sorry to hear you fell and hurt your wrist! I fall a lot due to a disorder and I don't mind the falling so much but the pain that sometimes follows when I don't land correctly....well enough said on that! Nice looking desk this week. Lots of fun things to see! Hope your better soon so you can make more fun stuff to share with us! Love the stamps. Thanks for dropping by and visiting at my desk! I enjoyed getting a peak at your projects and looking yours! Have a great week. Vickie #11

Hope your wrist feels better soon Neil.
After I shared the news on facebook about your new book covers a friend of mine asked if there are any finished samples and I can't find any. They look fabulous and I can't wait to play with the ones I've ordered. Next on the shopping list is some of your stamps. Happy creatings.
Beautiful spring tag....the flowers are absolutely artsy delish:) Amazing journey to see you walking with your new line!!! Would be thrilled and honored to show off across the pond:) Well wishes on getting better
Okay, those stamps are awesome so I am one of your newest followers. :) Sorry to hear about your wrist, though, that is a bummer! The tag is looking fab...can't imagine how you're gonna finish it off but I'm sure it'll be perfection. ;)

Sorry to hear about your wrist, Neil. hope it heals soon. Superb stamps, I'd love to win them. You sure have come up with some fab designs. I'm just starting my desk visiting as I rested yesterday so I could go to footy last night. We (Bristol Rovers) won! So I am a very happy Zoe today. Take care Zo xx 92
Hope you're on the mend soon Neil, it must be awful not being able to do anything when you have all your scrummy new stamps there just waiting to be inked up and used..... I am loving your new stamps and cant wait to get my inky paws on them...
Though I'm sure it was not your intention, the first thing I saw was that fabulous top hat! Very cool. Sorry to hear about the wrist. Hope it heals quickly so you can get back to doing what you love. Your new stamps are very cool and would be honored to add them to my supply.
