WOYWW 600 and Second on the 2nd

Wow! 600 WOYWW is definitely worth celebrating! I confess to not joining in at Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday hosted by lovely Julia at The Stamping Ground so often these days but I do try to keep up and pop in from time to time! 

Of course today is special, but my desk unfortunately is not...


I've been making a few Christmas cards so there's bits and pieces around from that and a little journal is there just because I felt like a little play with some rediscovered pencils. I need to tidy up as the things on the edge of my mat are slowly creeping towards me!

I've just realised too, that this is looking like a competition to spot how many glues are on my desk!

I'm also joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth today as it's the 2nd of the month with a post from the past for Second on the 2nd and I have a WOYWW post from December 5th 2012

WOYWW 183

Back from Paris with some piccies to share-though not many today because today's the day that Julia opens the doors of the crafty workrooms of the world so we can have a peek at what's going on! I've cheated a bit here as I have photos of my crafty workspace in Paris - so glad I took a little journal kit! 
Everything fitted into an old video case(apart from the scissors, I didn't take much, some lettering stamped onto old pages, some glue,a small selection of pens,some scraps,an ink pad(dark blue), a small sponge and some tissue tape - with the intention of using whatever I could find in Paris!The pages were prepared before I went.
The reason I was so pleased I'd taken it was because Hubby got himself a migraine, so bad that he was totally out of action for the whole of Monday! I was a little bit adventurous and took myself off on the Metro to visit familiar places around a hotel that we have stayed in several times, but felt a little guilty about leaving him all day so went back in the afternoon and sat and played while he was sleeping!
Exhausted!
There are a few things on my desk at home,

These goodies were bought on Saturday, on the way down from Sacre Couer! We found this amazing area with loads of fabric and haberdashery shops - well it would have been rude not to buy something wouldn't it?!
Finally - a couple of pages that I made while away

I'll be back with more when I have printed of some of the pics we took as I have left spaces for them on some pages.
Thanks for looking and "Au revoir", Chris

So, congratulations to Julia for keeping this going for so long and I will try to visit more often!

Thanks for looking, Chris

  2. I am so glad you also joined both these link up parties this week. I know how much you love Paris, so a second look with Paris in it is right up your street (as you would say). It's a beautiful journal and great photos of part of your trip, too. Thanks for sharing this as your second look on the 2nd, dear friend.

    And of course, I am always in awe of your desk. You always have so many choices to chose from. I want those trees (GRIN). Not really, but I can wish. Happy 600th from #6.

  6. Hi Chris. Happy 600th. How lovely to see you here today. How's you doing these days? Goodness - how long ago was it that we met at the craft show along with Mrs D? And didn't we bump into Jo from Jozart while having lunch?! Oh my! How time flies.
    A real busy desk there today. Hope you get everything done, and stop the froward creep!!
    Take care. God bless.

  7. Hi Chris, great to see you again. This is one busy desk at the moment but I think it's the time of the year when we have several projects on at the same time. Wishing you a very happy woyww and a lovely creative week. Angela x19x

  8. Hi Chris, happy 600th WOYWW. Hmm there does seem to be an abundance of glue, but I couldn't quite count them all. I had been having moments where craft supplies were threatening to swallow up every last inch of my desk space, but that seems to have stopped since I have been working from home and am more disciplined about tidying up. I can just imagine the IT guys faces if I took my laptop in for an update and it was covered in glue, glitter and gesso! Have a lovely week, Heather xx #25

  10. Your desk looks really busy, but I guess you could put your hand any particular thing at any particular moment. Often I know which area to look for stuff in my room, even if it's not apparent at first glance!
    It's great to look back too isn't it!
    Happy WOYWW 600 and Stay safe!
