Happy Wednesday, all!
Those who have been following my blog for any amount of time know I’ve been determined to catch up with Tim’s 12 Tags series. I only have one more to do from last Christmas’ tags, but as it’s the last day of the month, today I MUST complete the February tag.
Here is my workdesk, all set up and ready to get that project done. Yes, on the very last day, but on time regardless. 😉
Actually, I pulled out all my supplies on Monday night right before I went to bed, thinking I’d be inspired and raring to go on Tuesday. Nope, didn’t happen.
I did, however, go shopping; always a good thing to do when motivation is lacking. ****grin**** Nothing too exciting, just some adhesive, beads and bits to finish some jewelry for my Etsy shop and some Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint on clearance. (Are you kidding me?! I love that stuff, how can they possibly be discontinuing it?)
Anyhow, that’s what my desk looks like this Wednesday. Hopefully it will be a lot messier as the day goes on and I get some things accomplished. 🙂
If you’re wondering why in the world I’m posting a photo of my desk, well, you must not know about What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday. Get yourself over to Julia’s quick and check it out!
Happy creating!
******* Update 10:50 p.m. **********
Phew, what a day! First thing today I worked on this card, then had to do major amounts of errands out and about in the snow. When I got back I expected all this glitter to be dry, but it wasn’t.
Finally now, I’m ready to head to bed, and dry or not this card is getting posted. I’ll be happy to welcome in March when I wake up.
This card will be for my granddaughter’s next birthday, when she’ll be four. Hence, the four candles on the inside, and the utter abandonment of restraint in the use of glitter. *****grin*****
I loved using this honeycomb paper, and am already considering other projects where it would work. All you need is a symmetrical shape without important interior details. Fun stuff!
If you want to know where the inspiration for this card came from, check out Tim Holtz’s 12 Tags of 2012.
Snow or not, spring is only 20 days away. Woot!
Your desk is looking very nice this week. Love the color of your tag base! Hope to see the finished one. dani43
Your desk looks very neat and tidy and buying stash is always a good thing in my book!!
The tag is starting to get done…you will have to post it next week.
Looking good!!!
Hope you get your February tag done in time! I’m sure they’re not discontinuing Rock Candy Distress, it’s fab.
happy woyww, helen 32
Great well organised desk and it seems so many of us this week are seeking inspiration… hope you find some.
Love JoZarty
thanks for visiting
Well done for keeping up with the tags – hope it goes well today. And shopping is always a good idea! (Hazel, WOYWW #5) x
What’s this about Rock Candy being discontinued? I love it too. Must get some in stock. Luckily working a show at weekend, need time off to shop!
What is your die cutter? Looks so pretty and a different shape to what I have seen. Not that I ever am up to date with things.
Good luck with the tags, look forward to seeing them.
Hugs and thanks for your comment, Neet #19 xx
My die cutter is a Sizzix Big Kick. I have no idea what the difference is between the Big Kick and Big Shot, but I like that it doesn’t take up too much space and works great every time.
And you’re not lacking in up-to-datedness, this is a really OLD machine. 🙂
what a tidy desk … I’ve never gotten around to making those awesome tags. maybe one day I do love them .thanks for sharing
Hope you enjoy getting your tag finished. Happy Wednesday to you, enjoy this week’s snoop of oh so creative places & take care. Zo xx 83

Nothing like a good crafty spend to entice mojo to return home. xx
I’m glad I’m not the only one who goes craft shopping when motivation is lacking. I’m not sure that it always inspires me to craft, but it sure is fun. Good luck with those tags and happy mess making!
Sandy, you are busy and your desk looks so neat. There are days that I wish mine did. #113
Eh, neatness is overrated. I prefer messy and productive. 🙂
Kudos on finishing your tag! I think your grand daughter is going to love her card! #29
Your desk looks fab and I’m sure your granddaughter will love her card.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog. I’m sorry to be stopping by so late, a terrible cold has had me sidelined since Wednesday afternoon!
Love your work! Love the colors you used and the GREAT use of the honeycomb paper to make the b-day cake! Thank you for the ink about the desk. I only had my blog for a week today, so this looks like a fun thing to check out. Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by, Winnie, and good luck with your blog!
