My desk this week is a little neglected. On Monday I went to my daughter's and yesterday we went Christmas shopping in the factory outlet at Swindon. In previous years I have done really well in finding presents there and this time was no exception... but more of that later.
The things on my desk are just not quite right.. unfinished... don't quite know what to do next with them. The mojo has departed somewhat. I think that the problem might be a surfeit of new stash in that I don't know where to start and what to use first!
I'm really pleased with one thing which I bought recently...these A4 plastic boxes for card and paper storage! I can see at a glance what colour each contains.
Just next to this unit is a drawer containing my Stampin' Up stamps... I really do love them and they seem perfect for my preferred style of card... clean and simple!
I hope you all have a great WOYWW, sadly I only managed to visit about half of the desks last week , but I will try harder!
Join us via our illustrious leader Julia, whose link is on my sidebar and take a snoop around the workdesks of the world!
The cards on there look lovely .... if I see your mojo I will send him back.

Chrissie, thanks for shwoing.. err my mojo is there but hidden, seems to have a ind of its own! , and as for Christmas shopping.. no a hope! :(((
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing
Happy Woywwing!
well done on no 1 spot this week. Hope your mojo comes back, if not just pick a spot and work from there. Love your clean and simple style. caroline #12
ReplyDeleteThink our Mojo's have gone off on hols together hun, either that or mine is under the pile of crud on my floor! Loving those cards :O)) x
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks fantastic and so ready to roll! Didn't you win the lotto to be #1??? I think you'll have good luck all week!
ReplyDeleteAmberInk is Woyww #3 this week!
Congrats on being number 1 this week. Way to go.
ReplyDeleteI love those cards, especially the one with the tree in the back of the truck. Clean and simple really does fit your style. And it's what I appreciate, too.
SU used to be nothing but cutesy and too childish for my taste. I see they have gotten more sophisticated over the years, at least from looking at all those stamps you have in your drawer. Have a great WOYWW and if I find your mojo, I'll send it home to you!

Congrats on no. 1 and I do love how organised the stamps looked in their drawer and paper system is good too. Beautiful cards. Sandra xx
ReplyDeleteThe snowflake card is really lovely. Love the rainbow colours of card in your new storage too!
ReplyDeleteYour stamp drawer puts my measley 2 stamps to shame! lol. I'm finding myself getting rather addicted to buying bits already though *yikes!* xx
ReplyDeleteSeems as if there are a few of us getting a bit "stuck" with the card making - maybe we are trying too hard. Love what you have done already though!
ReplyDeleteGreat storage boxes - now making me wonder if I should splash out on some too. Thanks for sharing. #69
Great xmas cards - hope your mojo turns up soon...mine is back thank goodness - was getting worried for a while....x

ReplyDeleteFab Christmas cards and great storage for you card. Wow, that is some stamp drawer storage.
ReplyDeleteNumber 1 - you must have got up early - I have never been Nr. 1 and I think I will never be! You have a wonderful collection of Stampin up stamps I have a few but intend to order more!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas cards are coming along quite well!

Everyone seems to be cracking on with their Christmas cards - everyone but me!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW
Love the card with the houses on. Hope you didn't leave Mr Mojo in Swindon :( perhaps he's just gone for a lie down!!
ReplyDeleteI've bought new walking boots ready for Disneyland so I don't slip like your poor hubby.

It is truly difficult to visit everyone's desk, so if I didn't get to you last week, here I am now! :-) Thanks for sharing your desk. Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteEeek, don't mention the Christmas shopping, Chrissie. I haven't even starting thinking about it, never mind doing it!!!

You're as bad as me with your card stock - I have more blue, green & purple than anything else too! LOVE the pink card, I really like your style of cards.
ReplyDeleteI see you didn't get much use out of a flower press either. Are we related?!!

The cards look very promising. On the subject of your departed mojo and too much stash I can do no better that quote the writer, Ann Lamott's father's advice on writing a book about birds, take it bird by bird. Love your paper storage and all those lovely stamps. Thanks for sharing. Elizabeth #113
ReplyDeleteLove your cards and your stamp drawer is wonderful............can I come and play??? S #16

I like the blue snow flakes. Very effective.
ReplyDeleteLovley cards you are working on hope you get then finished soon.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely space!
ReplyDeletealways loved that truck from SU. Probably should have gotten it when I was a demo. Like the moving card you're working on.
ReplyDeleteHmm, your card looks lovely in those boxes - it's such a pleasure to see card stacked in colour, huh! Your collection of SU! is impressive Chrissie!
ReplyDeleteLove the cards you are making, and those neat and tidy boxes and drawers.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn
That snowflake card is truly lovely. I'm tempted to buy those storage boxes, as you say, you can see all your stash well in them :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie - I agree with those see through plastic boxes - I have all my card and paperstock in them - must have 20+ around the place... well worth the money.
ReplyDeleteHope to hear about your shopping expedition soon!!!
