Oh yes, this bear can fill the desk to the brim with stash and still create something in the half inch of space left. Does anyone else end up creating this way? Why do we do it? I always start with plenty of space around me, but slowly fill it as I think of craft essentials that I simply must have in order to create my current project!
So, what can you spy on my desk of plenty this week then? Well some of you may know that I celebrated my bearthday last Friday, details of my blog candy giveaway can be found if you press a furry little paw on the words:
Blog candy! Do take a look at our rather odd mix of goodies, including FOOD!
Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, my bearthday, well goodness I was sooo spoilt, the bears outdid themselves by simply showering me with presents, and the crafty gifts are forming part of my play today, I had these
And these
AND these
How lucky was I? I'm currently in the middle of playing with the last set and making this card
I just need to adhere it all now, then I can continue ex'bear'imenting with all my other newbies. Why don't you go and check out some desks? It's a great way to have a legitimate nose at other crafters' stash. In fact, I'm going to take a break from creating to have a crafty peek myself. TTFN
With love from the bears.
Ooooh !! What super prezzies :-) Love those. xxxxxxx
ReplyDeletePodgy, what wonderful pressies! Lucky you. I know you are all going to create some fab stuff with them.Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #77
ReplyDeleteOoh Podgy, what a lot of wonderful hours you are going to have playing with those awesome goodies. LP stamps - I adore and I do like the others too. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet 2 xx
Great pressies, and I work on the basis that if the pile on my desk doesn't collapse, it doesn't need tidying! Also a tidal wave of stash that advances and recedes according to project :-)

Lynne Perrella has the most amazing stuff and one of my favourtie right back when I started on the crafting journey. I do hope those paws actually put things away as well as pulling them out. I hope you had a great birthday too.

ReplyDeleteA happy WOYWW and happy belated bearthday! I do think it takes a special talent to create in such a very small spot. My paws would definitely be knocking over the drinking glass and making a big mess, so I try to give myself a wee bit more room. How fun to have received just what you wished for from the bears -- very considerate of them. ~ Laura #115 (Thanks for visiting my den already!)
