WOYWW 259

There is so much happening on my desk but you can't see it yet, well not until the 5th Anniversary ATC swap is underway.  I have been making ATC's for this years swap and I am not going to share until I have too.  I have however posted off 2 with another to go later today.  These were RAKs just because these people deserve it, you will understand later.  So if anyone is interested in swapping just let me know and hopefully I can accommodate your request.

On the desk is the back of the ATC's and everything is shrouded in privacy even the mail going out.  I love to decorate my envelopes to match the mail so you can understand there is a lot of work that has been done.  I do still have stamps out and some new ones which I ordered the other day, some trimmings from creations.  My coffee, TV remotes, Chocolate bunny is still alive but the Licorice Allsorts are nearly all gone.  There is even Yoda's paw print stamp on the desk. LOL  Oh and I found some scratchies that I  forgot I had what a bonus.  I have been so productive this week you would be impressed seriously you would.  I have my re-inkers out because I was using so much ink all the time I got fed up with getting up and down from their storage container.


 For those that wanted the window shot here you are.  I have this new little stand that I got for $2 from KaiserCraft the other week that still needs decorating, just not sure what I am going to use it for.  I put the stamp pads there for the moment to see if I am happy with that decision.  Other supplies purchased that haven't been put away.













Now onto the man of the moment he is still a lump in the bed and it is after 3.30pm  I came home from my charity work and he is still sleeping.  See the bump that is him way, way under the blanket.  Yes I did wake him just for you lot, see the filthy look he is giving me.  Ok I did put the cover back over him straight away, lazy man he is.


Now if you want to see more desks then pop on over the Julia's place and check them out, join in too if you can.  If visiting please leave your link number so I can return the visit.

Hugs Eliza & Sleepy Head Yoda

Nicely organized mess, Eliza. I like the back of your ATCs. I need to find something to use for mine. Yep, that's what my Girls do now that it's gotten hot...hide inside in the AC and sleep. ;) Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #10

Truly Yoda just gets cuter and cuter even when he is not amused. Your little collection of atc's look beautiful and now you tell me you also create on the envelopes. No end to your talent. Looking forward to the post. Have a lovely week.

You really HAVE been busy this week. Lots and lots of ATCs, it appears.

Shocking, I know, but I'm not much of a stamper. I was given a few stamp pads, and before I could use them, they had dried up. that's when I decided to invest in reinkers and not get ink pads. I keep them separate, dye inks together, staz-on inks together, distress inks together, and pigment inks together. All regardless of brand, other than distress and Staz-on, which are only made by one company each.

Bleubeard is laughing at Yoda. He claims he doesn't look like that when HE wakes suddenly, but I think they both look pretty upset when forced to wake. Have a great WOYWW from #2.

Good morning. Can't believe it's Wednesday again already! Thanks for letting us in to peek at your creative space. It looks like you are having fun hiding everything from us!

Hope you have a good week too.

Lol, that lump in the bed reminds me of my boys!!! I have one dozing away as I type this comment. I'm going to start calling him Yoda :-)
Well done you for being productive, it's funny how you get the wind in your sails sometimes and at others, it's like pulling teeth!
Hugs, LLJ 21 xx

Hi Eliza and Yoda! It looks as lovely where you are as it is here today. Sunshine at last! You are really well prepared for the swap. I still need to get my thinking cap on!!! I just realised I meant to mention ATCs on my post today and I forgot. My head is in siesta mode this week!! Looking forward to exchanging ATCs with you. Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 68

Hello Eliza and Yoda, busy desk this week! What is a scratchie? I am very curious, love the idea od a yoda pawprint stamp. :)

Anonymous said...

Licorice. Yuk! Yoda is looking cute as a button this week (well, every week, to be fair) and I am hating the teasing ATC peeks. Hurry up 260! I can't wait to see them all!
:)

Happy near 5 year WOYWW!

Julia Dunnit said...

Oh my, Eliza..if looks could kill! 3.30 in the afternoon, good grief, if he was a bloke he'd need jam butties and a newspaper to take into the lav!!
I love that you've spent time doing ATCs,p I hope you've enjoyed it, becuase I know how precious your craft time is. And then you casually mention charity work..you are a special person..all that work and then volunteering too.
Have a big hug will ya.

Annie said...

I'm only just doing my rounds to catch up with all my blogging friends....it's been a busy day with lots of extra cuddles needed by my little poorly munchkins.
Thanks for calling by today. I've had your email and will send you my address asap. I'm really looking forward to swapping ATCs next week.
Hugs,
Annie x #27

Have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x 41

Stacy Sheldon said...

Yoda looks seriously ticked you have disturbed his rest after he went so far as to burrow into the center of the covers haha. I love that you have handles for doing multiple colors of ink at once. :)

Robyn Oliver said...

Hi Eliza, Happy WOYWW and thanks for visiting my desk. Gorgeous mail art, I'm never that organised always last minute rush to put the card in an envelope but I like the idea so maybe you've inspired me to try. And can't believe you're making ATC envelopes too..way to go girl. Cheers and have a wonderful week RobynO#19 PS..pats Yoda and I'd like to ATC swap with you if you have spares.

Unknown said...

Sue from Oregon said...

Unknown said...

Wow you are certainly working very hard! Thank you for your visit. Karen #31

Neet said...

If only Yoda could talk. I love how you found him under the cover all nice and snug, no wonder he gave you the stare when you exposed him.
Cannot believe you have choccie and sweets on your desk and they are not all eaten in a flash. I cannot keep anything like that.
Your atc went in the post today, hope it gets o you by next week - no decorated envie though I am afraid.
Take care - love to all
Hugs, Neet 18 xx

Darnell said...

You always have the best posts, Eliza! And did I tell you last time how much I like your blog design? Poor Yoda having to wake up for all of us - but we do NEED to have our Yoda fix!

I'd love to exchange ATCs with you if you still have some left. Let me know at darnell dot knauss at gmail dot com, with your mailing address.

Thank you for coming to visit me! Happy WOYWW and enjoy your week! Hugs, Darnell #29

Amy E said...

Yoda looks like he wants to scratch the camera right out of your hands! I think he's saying, "just cover me up and back up slowly, and no one will get hurt!" Haha! That's an adorable pic!!

Can't wait to see your ATCs!!!!

Happy WOYWW (a day late!)

Hi Eliza, yes please, I'd like to swap with you! I've been making ATCs today. Poor Yoda! He looks really grumpy! Email me your address at patsy.paterno (at) gmail.com, if you'd like to swap. :^)

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

OK, I'm back. I was laughing because I asked you what that red carpet event was and you explained it was like the Oscars. That should have clued you to the fact I'm in the States. Kansas, in fact. The OTHER Oz! And the Yellow Brick Road runs right through my city, too. Hope you have a good week and I'll see you again on Wednesday when I'm sure both Yoda and Bleubeard will be awake.
