WOYWW 1st June '11

Good morning all you lovely Blogland people!! Wow, I'm feeling all bouncy today which is really strange as I'm one of those people who gets horribly affected by the weather outside my window and today it is horrible. Grey and drizzling. Again. So, it must be purely the knowledge that I'm going to be able to see all these wonderful workdesks again today that must be making me so happy!! If you think I'm nuts, sorry. If you'd like to join in the happiness then please check out Julia's Blog to see what makes me so ridiculously happy on a Wednesday morning!

Right, I suppose as you've trekked all the way over to MY little blog that you'd really like to see my desk, right? Ok, here it is this morning....


Ok, so I'll admit that my desk was like this last night too. I sat down to do some sample scrapbook layouts for my new Scrap Club that I'm launching and despite staring at the papers I came up with nothing. Nada. Nix. How is it that when you don't have time to scrap you have Loooooooaaaaads of inspiration but the moment you actually sit down to do some you end up staring and paper and cardstock. And, worst of all, the paper and cardstock actually ends up staring. right. back. Freaky! Anyway, once I've done this WOYWW post and done some admin I shall be heading straight back to this desk to get something done with that lovely Jolly Holiday DSP. I'm thinking maybe something Christmassy.... hmmmm.....

Anyway, maybe you can give me some ideas?  Inspiration? Help!!! If those papers start staring back at me again I'm going to have to do something drastic and I won't be held responsible for my actions then!!

Oh well, I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions so PLEASE leave me a comment. Thanks for dropping by!

  1. I always find it helps me to have an image to start with, a photo or a stamp or something like that and then it will spark off other things.

  2. Sounds like you need to pay a visit to splitcoaststampers Anthea!

    I'm sure the inspiration will come when it's good and ready (it must be in a different time zone at the moment)

    Happy 2nd WOYWW Anniversary :-)

  7. my tip? carry your small notebook and pencil At All Times, despite busy - ness, you will note down, or outline sketch, your creative thoughts, as they happen when they happen, even if it is a ten second acronym that makes no sense later...you'll get better at rapid imagery as you practice.

    you will pull out those notes when you actually get time to do a full composition - if you wish I will show you my gesture sketches next week on my woyww - if you want,

    it means you will never be mojo less (ever) honestly it works...

  13. I’m making a really big effort to get around everyone seeing as it’s a special week. Mind you it’s taking forever and I have a bit of a numb bum now so It’ll be back to my random visits next week I think. I just don’t know how some people manage it every week.


    Oh I hope your inspiration returned Anthea because those papers are beautiful…………and such rich colours.

    Happy WOYWW 2nd Anniversary and …………….
    Happy Crafting!

  14. Hi! Love the way your table looks. Really. When I don't have an inspiration, I just take my leftovers, some Gesso, some failed decorations and try to make a collage. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. The main thing that while you messing with papers and paint suddenly you end up with an IDEA what to do! Hope it helps!

  15. I still love your well organized desk. Wish mine were half as neat! Sorry I am so late getting around but it was a busy week. Happy WOYWW #104 and the 2nd anniversary of blog snooping! Thanks for sharing Vickie #55

  16. Oh I know exactly what you mean. At least though you didn't cut all the papers up in some ridiculous attempt to make an idea work..I do that. Too often!
