Here we are again with another weekly round up of what's on each others workspaces. I do love this, it's a great chance to have a mosey around the world and see some fantastic artwork.
If I didn't get to your blog last week I apologise (again!) and will try harder this week. If there's anyone reading this that hasn't taken part yet, you should give it a go!
Anyway, onto my desk which looks as though a bomb has hit it. As you can see, I'm a very fickle person and still can't decide between Copics and Promarkers so of course had to have some of each! There's my Yummy Mummy mug which was a pressy from my daughter a couple of years ago and apart from making me smile, it holds a serious amount of caffeine!
The reason for the mess is that I was in the middle of putting 40 packs together for a workshop on the cruise but before I can start sorting them out, I have to "test drive" each project to make sure that they can be done by a beginner in under an hour. That means that I have to stamp every image for them and cut everything to size. This is the 20th project which means that I have put 800 packs together now...only another 320 to go!!! Still, while I'm cruising up the Amazon I'm sure that it'll be all worth while!
I went back and took another
piccie of the finished project and here Ethel is, in all her glory!
I just love that sentiment! The stamps are all from Particraft and there's free p&p if anyone is interested in getting their hands on them! Just got to cut everything to size for the passengers now and put all the bits into individual bags!
On other news, if anyone is in the Cliftonville/Margate area on October 23rd, I'll be demoing Creative Expressions stamps at Martell Press for the whole day so do pop along and say hi. The craft club meets again this evening and we'll be getting down and dirty with some Distress Inks!
Don't forget the blog candy draw takes place at 5am on October 8th so there's still time to enter. You'll find it under older postings. Sue Wilson is slowly getting to her next target to draw her fantastic blog candy and it is an amazing selection of goodies. Pop over to the Particraft blog for a look if you haven't found your way there yet.
Think that's all...this is just delaying going back to the cabin to start chopping and stamping! So until next time...........keep crafting!!!!

Hi hun

Luv the card fab image, have great day, happy WOYWW, sue,x(2)
thanks for sharing you space with us this week - loving that card - lv LIZ (68)
That card is brilliant and such a lot of packs to put together
Ooooh I daresnt try copics as I know I will be as addicted to them as I am promarkers - I also keep some of my promarkers in the same suitcase as you too! (when I am not using them so that I can store them lying down as I am still not sure whether I should do that or not!). Enjoy packing all those bags - thats the part I enjoy when preparing my classes much to my partners amusement! Thanks for sharing - Sunshine Girl (28)
What an awesome amount of kits you do - I'm amazed you get anything done for yourself. Great space to work in though.

Love those stamps! Don't envy you having to bag up all that stuff, altho as you say, a cruise is worth the effort!
Helen (32)
Hi Yummy Mummy! Love Ethel - and your desk does not look bad at all. Would love to know your verdict on the pens - although it is a bit late for me now.
Fab work as always! Thanks for stopping by my blog this morning. Will have to go and peruse the particraft blog properly at some point cos there's some fab samples on it - very inspirational1
If it is a creative mess - then it's a good mess!Have a good week and enjoy!

All I can say is it must have been a very very small bomb! I can't see mess just the bits and pieces you need lying about while creating ;-) Ooh, workshops while cruising the Amazon, sounds like heaven :-)
I've got those stamps, love them

Good old Murray and Ethal! :) The skulls were from pound shop and wilkos..I had to paint them to make them look less plasticy lol xx
How many? Good creative desk you have there!
This week I am mostly link number 27
#1 - I LOVE your blog name! It is so So so fun and smart.
#2 - Woah! You are like the energizer bunny! I cannot believe how much you manage to get done!
#3 - Ohhhhhh you have fun on that cruise! You earned it! xoxo Amber
Nope, sorry me dear, that desk doesn't look like a bomb's hit it AT ALL. That's only a 6/10 in the messy stakes, must try harder!
Good luck with all that preparation, but as you say it'll be worth it!

what kind of bomb is it I need to have one land in my craft room as it woudl be an improvement on the current chaotic state I find myself in - love your finished sample card - the combo of sentiment and image is hilarious...

Your works space looks neat and tidy compared to mine. Of course my space it so tiny it doesn't take much to mess it up. Love the card and the sentiment is a hoot.
Blessings Bernie
I'm with you on the split decision re Copics and Promarkers.
Like you I have some of each and am still not sure which I prefer.
Chrissie
what fun, love your blog title too!
My craft room is too small which is probably why I end up onthe dining table, you have a lovely big one and loads of room to spread! Have a great woyww!

Love the image and the sentiment is just perfect for it.

I love the "Yummy Mummy" mug. Too funny. And your card is darling too. Since I don't own either copics or PMs, I will let you choose which are the better deal. Thanks for stopping by my space and glad you liked the bigger pics, even if I put you in fairyland!
Wow! I'm soooo impressed! You're working hard!And you've got an exciting cruise to look froward to! Patsy #39 from

It must have been a small bomb then... looks fine to me lol :D .. wow that's a lot of kits !!

You sound like me! At the moment I am getting ready for a retreat. Too bad I wasn't doing a cruise! lol
Putting all the stuff together sounds like a chore but I bet the cruise will be fun, love the card too!

you are one busy lady!!! if i had to prepare all those kits, i don't think my desk would look like this. it would be a REAL MESS!!! the cruise sounds really interesting!
great fun card.....no matter how much space you have you end up filling it
thanks for the peek
hugs
Hi Pam, thanks for your visit. Not "official" copic storage in the background of my blog. In fact it is storage I made for my promarkers as I couldn't find what I needed anywhere.

Thanks for the snoop on your tidy desk Pam. *Ü* Good luck with all of your preps. TFS. ~Glen~
I dont think i can settle on just one type of anything - copics or promarkers, or indeed card styles. lovely card. thanks for visiting earlier. caroline (82)
oh what a lovely BIG desk to work on! Love the stamp, she is fab and hope you get them all prepped! K x#107
A great desk with lots of fun toys on there!!! Thanks for popping in too!
The space is there to be used and given what you're preparing for - I think some mess is allowed!
