WOYWW 131

Yesterday I bought this carousel gizmo from a local craft shop. I had been thinking about one for ages but thought that they would be too large for my small working space. When I saw it I was surprised at  how compact it actually is. The other surprise was that nearly all the little drawers contained little bits and bobs... brads, gems, ribbons etc.
Also on my desk this week is a bunch of craft magazines... mainly Craft Stamper it must be said, but I have cards or projects published in all of them. The really exciting thing is that I have been invited to join the Design Team at Craft Stamper. The disappointment is that my copy for this month hasn't yet arrived, so I can't see my Cut & Create prism box or the card for this month's gallery in print.
I hope I manage to get around to a few more desks this week, but I seem to be running around my own tail at the moment.
I've woken with thick head this morning, I hope it clears soon as we have lots of singing commitments between now and Christmas.

Additional info!
I originally saw this on the Personal Impressions website, but they sell only to retailers. They gave me a list of stockists of their products and my local craft store ordered one in for me. It cost £29.99 and measures 30cms across the widest part of the hexagonal shape.

  1. Hi Chrissie...
    Love your carousel thingie and have been looking for one for a while... I've only seen one online and it was £50 ish.... Can you tell me what you paid (sorry to be cheeky), and who makes it?

    Oh and CONGRATS on becoming part of the design team at Craft Stamper!
    Big hugs

  2. Hi Chrissie, congratulations on your appointment to the design team at Craft Stamper - so exciting for you. I've thought about getting a carousel but, like you, decided it would be too large for my desk space ... they do look useful though. Only 17 days to go and we are all chasing around trying to get everything done on time - again ... it's the same every year :)) Happy WOYWW to you, elizabeth x #5

  5. Congrats on joining the DT at Craft Stamper! I have been looking for a lazy susan type storage for my desk top but the one I saw like this was so small and wouldn't hold what I needed it to. I may need to look around some more. Hope you have a great week. Merry Christmas! Vickie aka Okienurse

  19. Lovely desk! I was thinking of getting one of those carousels once but decided against it as I thought it would be too big, and it was a tad expensive too... They are lovely, though. In the end I got a really cheap (about £3 if I recall) fabric caddy with lots of pockets and a big space in the middle, and by sheer accident, found it exactly fitted my Martha Stewart Circle Cutter which acts as a lazy susan when not in use!! Works fine for me! Happy WOYWW, Shoshi #56
