WOYWW #462 ~ First steps..

I've been an admirer of the WOYWW for over a year now,
commenting occasionally on posts that have been brought to my attention
always wanting to take part but never brave enough to take that plunge..

Well today i'm doing it...

For those tidy crafters you may wish to avert your eyes hee hee!!


I don't have a dedicated area to create in it's something I aspire to have one day
so my future posts may be in different areas where ever my creativity takes me.

This is today's area, my kitchen table full of inks, stamps and stencils i've been using over 
the past couple of weeks during a mega card making session using up lots of scraps. 
There's also a little peek at some Design Team stamp sets 
being featured on Hochanda this Friday.

The Tic-Tacs and two old pound coins where found in an old coat pocket 
whilst sorting clothes for charity.. Just my luck to find two *Old* pound coins..!!.

Well there you have it albeit short but with a BIG Thank you to Helen (H) and 
Angela for keeping me updated and Julia of course for hosting.

I'm so glad not to be that fly on the wall anymore.
I'm off to visit those WOYWW posts now

Happy Crafting
Tracey xx

Hi Tracey, and welcome aboard! It's always nice to meet a new crafter. Tidy Workdesks? wash your mouth out! lol. And I'd hold on to those old pound coins- they'll be worth something in a few years when they're as rare as hens teeth! Liking the look of the journal page, lovely vibrant colours. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #6 XxXx

Neet said...

Well, first of all a Big Welcome to WOYWW. Lovely to see someone new - and someone with a lovely messy workspace (hope you don't mind me saying that) which shows they are a true crafter. Looks as if the past two weeks have been full of creative fun. Enjoy.
Hugs & Thanks for visiting me earlier - Neet 2 xx

Hi dear, I wish you could come over for tea, to see my work area here, :-)
as you know I am lucky to have a room for myself, but it has not helped me much in keeping tidy and clean from dust !!!!
This place of yours, looks wonderful creative, and lots of things, I would love to dive into, Tracey. Wish there were more to see, lol-
Lovely friend, have a wonderful evening and tomorrow- I send you a big hug.

Tracey, you will love it, they are such a wonderfully friendly group, I only stayed for about 4 years but I met some of the nicest crafters ever there and it was through them that I built up my early 'readership'. I am sure you will enjoy it! Hugs, Anne xx

Hi Tracey, Most major banks will accept the old pound coins.

Managed to track you down, as you didn't leave your number. You are #21.

Certainly a buysy work area. Looking forwarward to seeing you taking part more often.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Happy WOYWW

Helen said...

welcome to the gang! great to see you and thanks for commenting already... love your desk today - as you probably know I am (still) on the floor which is far from ideal... and it's running out of space! Helen #3

I never trust tidy desk ;) I also craft all over the place - I do have a dedicated area now after years in my dining room or my shedio. When my garage became vacant after being used as an aviary for a long time I was straight in there to claim it as my workshop. Guess what? I'm still over spilling on the dinner table or the kitchen counters... the whole house really, nowhere is safe.

I think you should do something crafty with the pound coins. Not sure what.

Thank you for coming to see me today - I feel like a newbie too, I have been away from WOYWW for so long. Your advice about keeping some headspace for me is spot on. I had a kind of melt down last unit, found out what triggering actually means. Oh my word, it wasn't pleasant - that's why I started the 100 Day Project, a little aside thing that's no pressure.

Thank you for stopping by already and your lovely words, have a great week,
Carmen x #23

Angie said...

Welcome! So glad you joined in. Love all the goodies on your work-table, sometimes it's fun to move to a different area to create, it can be very inspiring! Thanks for visiting!

Jannet said...

Oh it looks like a perfect crafty fun area to me ! I do all of my crafting on a tray balanced on my lap, and crafty stash all over the place! Thank you for telling us about That’s Crafty on Friday I will be sure to look out for your brilliant work, I hope the owl will be on : )

When I first started stamping I used our kitchen table and had all my stuff in a large toolbox. Outgrew that very quickly! But your area looks very busy and I bet much fun takes place there! And welcome to WOYWW! Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome! I'm glad you have become part of the family! Your desk looks wonderfully full of creativity! And that looks like a great start to a journal page! Thanks for your visit, Lindart #29

Stacy Sheldon said...

HI Tracey, welcome here :) I started on my kitchen table a long time ago too, then progressed to a corner of an attic in that house that I had to stoop to walk and sit at a desk to play but, that being able to leave a project out until its done is the number one thing for stealing a set spot for me. In this house I have a corner of a finished room over the garage. Thanks for the earlier visit, ~Stacy #27

Great looking desk this week! We seem to share a love of acrylic inks! My daughter got me started on them a couple years back...love them in my journals. Welcome to WOYWW! I did the same think...lurked a bit before I jumped it. I don't remember exactly when it was but a while ago. Have a great week and thanks for visiting my desk earlier. Vickie #32

Nikki said...
