Woo Hoo. It's here. For four years Miss Julia, she of the Stamp Ground fame, has hosted our little party, a world wide snoop onto the desk top of others. It's all harmless and can be lots of fun. In honor of the anniversary, Julia reflects a bit about deskers...I've been a kind of in and out desker over the last year and half, but have been pretty faithful the past several months. I look forward to it. Simple as that.
I've just returned for a week away with my sweetie in San Francisco which was green and sunny. Yay. I did a bit of shopping there as well.
I found those fun and colorful tab stickers on the left side of the desk at a place called the Container Store. What a plethora of stuff they have - my goodness. I couldn't resist all those colors! Moving around the desk clockwise you'll see a Ranger Glue Stick. I point this out because unlike almost every other glue stick I have ever tried, this one actually works!! I used it on vacation to start a quick, down and dirty travel journal and was really impressed. Above that you can see a card from my friend Linda...I should have taken a close up of the flower -- it is beautifully shaded and shimmery. Gorgeous. Moving around a bit more you can see the clear, plastic carry bag with the very pink zipper. Sadly what you can't see are the fun flamingos on it which is what caused me to purchase it in the first place.
But my favorite art score were these:
I feel in love immediately. I mean who doesn't love an elephant on a stripped beach ball wearing flowers in her hair and a doily on her posterior? All the stickers are fun and sparkly....I found this at a grocery store in Glenn Ellen, California. Can't wait to use them.
Also can't wait to play on my prepped art journal page and in the Fun Room altogether.
In addition to the folks I've already committed to, and the next person in line, I do have one extra ATC I'd be happy to send ANYWHERE to the first person who comments they would like to swap and extra one.
Hope you have a glorious week!

ReplyDeleteHi Sara,I love your desk with so much 'stuff' on it. I wish I could have all my pens etc so ready to hand. A combination of the intense sun, and a very furry resident in my room, means I need to put everything away between crafting sessions. I also love all the little extra bits we pick up from non'craft stores. they all add to the fun.
ReplyDeleteI am 'next in line' to you, so I am looking forward to seeing what you have created. I was going to e-mail you my address, but I can't see where to do that, so if you go to my blog and e-mail me, I will reply straight away. Thanks. Happy Anniversary! Kate x
Wow you sure do have alot of pens!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice time on holiday, everyone loves to shop :)

You will show us won't you, the stuff you actually got to stick f=down with the glue stick....am thrilled to hear of one that does work, I got one with a smash book and it's rubbish!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very colorful desk. That tin is not just cute, it put a smile on my face. Loved it. Those stickers must be the best ever!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW4 from # 17.
Love the tin! And the Fearless chunky canvas below is awesome! Looking forward to our ATC swap! I've sent my addy to you. Have a fab week. Thanks for the earlier visit. Happy WOYWW4! Nan G #6
ReplyDeletehi sadly I did not get the chance to visit anyone yesterday but have made you first on my list today my ATC will be on the way later today as off work what a fab desk and love your purchases nothing beat some retail therapy and your trip to SF sounds wonderful. Love the blues of your journal page my fav colour. Thanks for your wonderful kind comment and children they do grow fast I can't believe 3 years is over and she is now 22! its great to have her back.. not sure how long I will be saying that once she finally unpacks everything ! have a wonderful week too Andrea x #40
ReplyDeleteHi there Sara and so lovely to have you pop over and say hi glad you like my pickies and...
ReplyDelete... oh I chuckled at your stickers - what is there not to love? - I totally agree!!
and re glue stick:
It must be the ones you have over there have used "UHU" glue stick and also the Blu-stick and both work well the blue dries clear.. prob just an Oz thing but both are good.
Secret is dont buy cheap ones - just good ones on SALE!! I aim for back to school sales each term.
That is the way to go!! - happy 4th WOYWW Shaz in Oz.x #37
Thanks for visiting my desk over in Cape Town...The typewriter card is so easy it is scary! Do you have a silhouette cutter or some such computer connected beastie? If so, I can send you the file for the inner and the paper sheet for the sentiment! You could also cut them by hand, but with these machines, you can cut a few at a time. I looked at those glue sticks, but they were quite pricy...thanks for the review. Will get one now
ReplyDeleteAll looking so much fun... glad to hear you had a great trip. Would so love to visit San Francisco!
ReplyDeleteAlison x
Wow....what a fun work desk space and all of the wonderful little treasures that you're sharing with us! Those sparkle stickers are great! I especially love the container and the elephant poised on the striped ball. That is a hoot! I wanted to thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a wonderfully sweet comment about my transformed wooden craft organizer. Have a wonderful weekend and hope you create something wonderful out of that journal page you've started. <3 Candy
ReplyDeleteG'day Sara

ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. I am in envy of your awesome colourful workdesk. I am playing with distress ink and markers today - when I am happy with my results (in other words when something turns out well enough that is decently publishable), I will post the results.
