WOYWW 67

I'm in the process of having a blog maker over so you'll notice various sudden changes over the next few days. Really exciting for me! I'll be having some blog candy to launch the new look, when it is all complete, so keep an eye out!


Well it's WOYWW 67 today and it comes faster and faster, each week and I'm amazed where the days go? 
Here we are again, as voyeurs, amongst the manic messes of the creative world, (and the orderliness of some), to snoop on desks around the world. If you wonder if I've gone mad, then take a visit to Julia's (our Majesty's) blog at Stamping Ground to find out what it's all about.

I did tidy my desk before I started messing around again with inkiness. At the back you'll spy some jam jars which are standing ready for my pickles, when they are made very soon. 

There's a Pepper Pig which is a new stamp toy for my grandees. 

On the left are some lacy cake wraps which I had the idea to use as stencils and you can see some of my WIP experiments in the foreground. I laid the "stencil" over the top, as it is now coloured, and it will look good adhered over the background. 

My 4 new wood mounted stamps were bought really cheaply from a garden centre craft area. Yes! I know one of them, the biggy, is a CH*****as one but EEEK! I couldn't possibly use it yet. It was a real bargain so I couldn't leave it there. 

I acquired the old box with 9 compartments for £1 in one of Lady Heys Antique Shops. It used to hold the numbers for hymns and the guy wanted to sell me the hymn board too but as you can tell..... I have enough junk!!!

This is my cutting station "before"( it's on the top of my washing machine)....

..........I tidied! Now isn't that better?

GREAT TIP 1

If you spot these hand sanitiser sprays (below) in your £1 shops, usually at 3 for £1, remember that once empty, they unscrew and make great misters and are far cheaper than buying a certain other range of mini misters. 

GREAT TIP 2

The lubricating pens, above, also can usually be found in £1 shops or elsewhere in hardware shops. 

I prefer the 3M branded ones but they are all great for removing Stazon, for cleaning stamps, for removing sticky gunge from scissors and guillotines etc., and for making scissors non stick before cutting rubber. I get mine for 47p from Home Bargains shops.

Off to make a coffee and snoop a while....... so keep messing!
