so to the crux of the matter, and Voyeurism abounds.........if you have no idea what I am on about, then you need to journey over to the mistress, of all desks, Mistress Julia's, and tell her all about it!!
My desk.............. my abiding shame is that generally I manage to take a pick of my desk when its an absolute disgrace, and people rarely believe that I ever tidy up, I do Honest, just not on a Tuesday night, when I'm in full creative flow!!
One card I just wanted to throw away, as I was so disgusted in it, however FG was adamant that it wasnt that bad, so I sent her a pic, It was that bad, and she made me take it to bits and re do it, so that was one and a half cards, the other 4 I am pleased with and I will Blog them later on, but for now to the desk..........
My experiments with my newest toy...........FLITTER!!! by Indigo Blu, its yummy!!!
a new 1 1/2 " cirle punch, glitter station, glue gun, heat gun, the remnants of the card FG made me re-do, some toppers I was playing with earlier, a tub of NO NOT ICECREAM!!! its Skeleton leaves actually!!! and the bane of my life, my scraps box, or leaning tower of Pizza. I have moved it in an attempt to start using instead of dumping, I know I know, I'll get to it, but a girl needs to play you know!!
so my shame and my triumph!!
right enjoy you trip down Inspiration lane and pop back soon, Y'all Have a Gud Day now!! xx

Well i love the card that your monstrosity turned out to be as you call it!Beautiful.Boy im so glad your pizza pile just like the one on the floor by my side..lol
Have no mojo so sorted through some papers ,stroked some as you do.But that was it mojo hidden under the snow and got bored with the pile papers!
Have fab wednesday and creative week hugs judex 4
Well, I think you card turned out beautiful!And 5 1/2 cards, that is quite an accomplishment, at least for me it would be. And may I ask what is flitter? dani 14
Wow 5 1/2 cards is good going. My total this evening is 1/2 a card, due entirely to a lilttle 5 yr old scamp who visited us tonight, pulled a stool across the room, climbed up and sat at me desk with me demanding to "help". I introduced her to the joys of water colouring with pencils and sent her home with some stamped images! Must get that card finished tomorrow night now!! Glad to see you're back on form, new that tidy desk wouldn't last, hee hee!!
Hugs

I would be more than happy to have produced 5 cards and I love the finished tree metal one, it's gorgeous!! What is this flitter thing you speak of? Have I missed something? Happy woyww from Annette #13
I don't make cards, but if I must, I make a bunch alike. I'm not good at designs like you. Yours turned out perfect in the end. I'm # 25 this week. And yes, she put it up so early it caught me off guard.
The card is great!!!wow what a pile glad to see I am not the only one, mine is on the floor hugs trace x no44
WOW 5 1/2 cards today! I love the card you have posted. My desk is a mess today as well but the floor to the left is a regular pit! Have a great week and don't forget the blog candy I am offering on my blog. Make sure you are a follower and leave a comment. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #52
Hi there, Can't believe it's Wednesday again already! Thanks for letting me in to peek and I hope the rest of the week is a blessed and creative one for you!

Love all your cards Lou, you look like you have been very busy this week :)
Have a great WOYWW and a fab week, Karen #92
Looks like you're having fun, love the tree embossed. Thanks for sharing & enjoy this WOYWW, I'm off to nose some more! Zo x
Your card has turned out beautifully. I love the tree.
I spent all day just making 3 cards and they were just my art printed and stuck to a blank card. I can paint but I can't stick!
Have a great week.
Von #27 :)
Love your desk, a girl after my own heart (messy :))
5 1/2 cards in one day, I wish I could manage one a week. Beautiful cards. Hugs Pam x
Nice busy desk there! I see you use the "pile it all up filing method" (hehe)! Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy WOYWW.
I think you've done a fab job and I love the importance of the 'half' a card! Thanks for letting us look in and peek at your desk... Sarah at 7
WOYWW brings me snooping and I like what I see.
What a fab crafty work space you have this week and loads going on as usual.
I think I can still see space left to work in, Lol.
Happy Crafting!

Well I like both cards Lou, it's so subjective isn't it! Waht was in the turquoise box at top right then..sweeties? Yum. Love the glue gun dropped neatly in the hole..is that a deliberate hole for that job?
Hello Loo, I knew you would be pleased to see that even I can get in a muddle at times ... however, you beat me by a mile :) That pile in the right corner looks perilously close to collapsing. Like Julia, I love your purpose-built(?) hole for your glue gun in your desk - so handy. Great cards, both of them, is that embossed metal or mirri board you've used, I wonder - it's very nice whatever it is. Hope you're having a good day. Elizabeth x #2
Your FG sound the image of me lol.I dont get pain on getting out of bed or sitting either ...certain movements start things up and stress increases the problems.
Love your industrious desk and I love the BF card ...great makeover.
Thank you for visiting my WOYWW today! Love your messy table - it shows how crafty your really are :)

My Fairy Godmother wears hobnail boots, drinks stout by the pint and sings rude songs - I'm aiming to be like her by the time I'm 60. Yes sirree!
That is a VERY messy desk :) but very creative too, so you're forgiven...!
Hugs, LLJ #58 xx
Wonderfully crafty desk, one of a truly active creator! ~Happy WOYWW (#30) Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
Your "monstrosity" turned out to be gorgeous! And I love a good messy craft table, you definitely do not need to tidy up for us, this is what we are here for!
Happy WOYWW! Katie #18
Funny how we see something awful and others love it! I;ve taken cards apart b4 cos I couldnt' live with them - beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the crafter has to love it too!
thanks for sharing

Love the metal tree one, so beautiful. x
I'm always attempting to create a messy desk for pictures. It must be nice to have one naturally, hehehe.
Happy WOYWW!

Hi Lou
Fancy finding you on here. We've spoken on the MCS Platinum club forum... I've not done WOYWW for months and months. I started doing it 2 years ago when I was first off work, but haven't been on recently. Actually, I've been pretty bad at blogging full stop.
Hope you are well and lovely to see your desk at last. I'm interested in the 'flitter' thing. I going to have a look at what it is.
I'm fascinated in the tree you have embossed. Is is crafting metal that you've used alcohol inks on? Fab.
Paula x x x
your work space is full bu i bet you know where everything is! Love the card.
ok best ugly duckling to swan story ever, gorgeous! Happy Woyww!!
Wow that is one busy desk!!! Your card turned out great though.
Thanks for the info on Pintrest, I'm beginning to understand it better now.

Gorgeous, gorgeous card!! Very elegant. 4.5 cards in a day is pretty good going - that desk looks like you've got lots of ideas for me! Am busys woywwing at the mo but will come back and do the blog/link/post thingy to join in with your blog candy!! (And if you get a minute, how DOES one keep a post at the top? I've never been able to figure that oneout! Hope you will join in with my monthly Art Draw as well. Thanks for popping by, Cindy #58 (PS you made me laugh as well!!)
I do like the remake better...thanks goodness that you did not succeed in throwing it away.
You have been one creative card maker!
Hiya, I am so pleased that I am not the only one with a craft room full of 'work in progress' and I do love your card.
I think the card turned out ok, Love the craft room, filled with everything! Have a great crafty week HaPpY WoYwW
