What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday – Julia’s Stamping Ground where you can visit, peek and leave lots of lovely comments to your hearts content at other people’s work desks.

Still a newbie to this but can’t wait to see what number becomes mine when I enter WOYWW this week, last one was 97. It won’t happen this week but my ambition is to try and get the number of Patrick McGoohan from the Prisoner …. I know what number he was but I’m not saying because you will all want to try and get it ….. a little clue …. it is the date of my birthday.

Yes you are seeing double …. one for me and whoopee one for you …. OMG is this ambitious or what, there are two desks showing today, one is full of the goodies I am using for my next project and the other is full of the Blog Candy, which one lucky person will be winning. Everything you need to make the same project is here plus lots more besides …. a huge big thank you to Marina who is the owner of Cottage Crafts in Craanford for all the extra goodies …. wish my desk had the extra goodies on.

Not to worry girls along the way I will be giving you little sneak peaks of how everything is progressing.

Right where to start because there are lots of firsts here ladies …. first ever tutotrials fom me …. yes tutorials …. because I am going to be doing at least three with this project, first give away blog candy, first guest design spot for Oldie But a Goodie and last but not least the first launch day of Cottage Crafts Internet Shopping …. drumroll ….all will be taking place on 3rd November …. wow time for a quick breath.

No more waffling otherwise nothing will get started. Oooooo have to mention, hope you like the daily quotes at the top, another first for me.

First time of entering WOYDW and in one way or another most of what’s on my desk is going onto my next project. Not sure how other bloggers work out what to put on their next card or project but this is the way it works for me. I have play days where I don’t necessarily want to make a card but I need to craft and then when it is finished it goes into what I call my bit boxes. These are the boxes I turn to when I am busy and haven’t got time to start everything from scratch.

I usually start with a cleared desk (sorry girls but I am one of those neat freaks but totally wish I wasn’t) then you can find me dustbin diving to see if there is anything I can use from the trusty bit boxes. Today my project is ……… (can’t tell you yet it’s a secret .. he he) …. and a very happy bunny am I because so far all the embellies have come from the bit boxes, even a ready made bow.

Now that I have taken the photo everything will be pushed to one side and then the fun part begins of making something. Sorry girls but will not be posting what it is until Sunday …. watch this space….

Just had to put a little footnote here …. started leaving comments and my number is … 97…. well the first thing that sprang to mind was the TV program “The Prisoner” OK this is an age thing here and unless you remember the program you are probably not going to get the meaning …. would love to know if you do!!!!
