WOYWW #130

Good morning everyone and welcome to Julia's magic carpet ride that is What's on you Workdesk Wednesday.
Follow the link HERE to climb aboard.
So; my desk this week looks like this
I am sure that across the time zones of planet earth a large percentage of crafters are doing the same as me; prepping for Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas!
However, before I go into that I have this lovely stuff to show you.
I was lucky to be pulled out Jean of Crafty Individuals blog's  hat for follower candy and it arrived yesterday; my choice of stamp and then  along with that a packet of their lovely tags and a compact mirror. I can't wait to use the stamp!
Back to the desk; I decided to cut out all my tags in preparation for the start, so Bradley has been doing that for me, along with a few extras......
Peeping out at the back is some Christmas sparkle in the form of some tinselly stuff from the 99p store
They are Christmas tags after all! I also have my charms at the ready as I'm sure that they will be used by himself as they were new this year! They are resting on my new reindeer flight day, sent to me by the lovely Rachel; thanks for that, I've wanted them for a while now!
I think that I'll do a pre Christmas tag to get the  creative juices going and pop some Christmas music on the Ipod to get the festive season going! If you are doing the Tags this year, have fun, if they are not your thing, have fun in whatever you create!

    WOW!! You really ARE ready for Tim. Love that tinsel. We don't have those stores in the States, at least not in my state. BTW, sorry I didn't visit last week. Your comment was no less appreciated, though. Happy WOYWW from #7.

Good luck with it all I look forward to seeing your completed projects x

    Is there such a thing as too much tinsel?? I DON'T THINK SO! Nice stash and a bargain to boot. Great stuff. Like that musical paper from your winnings too, very vintage. Good luck with the tags :D

    very creative desk! I got all my tags cut yesterday and found the Christmas paper stack and the emboss resist Christmas paper, all the Christmas embellies etc. Look forward to this. Been following Mario's posts on Twitter. First tag will probably have pinecones and swirls on it. I am anxious to see the first one! Thanks for sharing and have a great week. Vickie #67

    I love your creative space, Neil - always so busy and upbeat! Great tags there too. Thank you for your comment on my blog - yes, I was away from my ARTHaven but still able to do some crochet/knit creating even if only altering! I was back in my ARTHaven again yesterday so I'm definitely on the mend! Happy WOYWW, Shoshi #62

    Love your desk this week - enjoy the TH Tags - would love to join in but I refuse to pay to play.... and to do what he does, I'd need to spend a lot on stash! I might do my own thing based on his schemes of work though!

    I love those dies too and now I have Vagabond envy....

  43. MaggieC (Silvercrafter)1 December 2011 at 16:46

    Thank you for your visit earlier and your kind comments. I quite like the idea of the Vagabond, but it worries me that you might put something too thick through and break it. Having used the Cuttlebug and knowing how careful you need to be with that, I would be scared of breaking the Vagabond when it is powered and you cannot feel what is happening. Those tags and your preps look amazing.
