WOYWW

Well, after joining in the WOYWW fun 3 weeks ago I haven't had a chance since but I'm back today. I'll try and visit as many as possible. If you don't know what I'm talking about pop over to Julia's blog to find out more. Here is my desk today...

At the back are my distress inks. I added a few colours to my collection at Harrogate and then was trying to figure out how to store them so I made all the labels and they are going to sit on my desk permanently. Then I can just grab the colours I want. I also have various dies out and the Indigo Blu stamps that I need to make the next lot of samples. Yikes - which have to be posted tomorrow! You can also see my sketchbook though where I have been jotting down some ideas. If only there were more hours in the day and I didn't have to work I wouldn't be so late doing them....wish me luck! Have you seen the new Indigo Blu stamps? Yummy. Anyway, best go and get stamping, I'll drop by as many desks as possible tonight.

  6. I am SO glad to know glad that I am not the only person in the world so sad that I label my distress inks ! Yeh ! I have accumulated all the colours over the years & store them upside-down in a Really Useful see though box with all their little name labels pointing outwards - it saves hours of rummaging - and I have made a swatch book that I keep in the so I can pick the colours I like ... do you think I need to get out more !!!! Have a great week ! Ali #156

    1. Nope - its an indigo blu stamp and the scribbles are ideas for designs. Alas I can't draw that well!
