Do I have an excuse, I hear you cry... well a ickle bit yes and a ickle bit no... yes, because I have been in the garden trying to sort the chaos that has been two winters of bad weather - actually, folks, she had one of her "issues" with it again, and could not bear to go in it for months - and no, because I should tidy after a project, and be good!!! The last thing I made was for the Stampman DT challenge, here, and it can be seen on my window sill below...
And speaking of pressies, I collected my NEW mini yesterday (Monday) It is wonderful - a special Olympic edition, only 2012 made, with leather, heated seats and all sorts of other mod cons... shall post a piccie of it later in the week oif you care tocome back and see!!! She is a beauty, and so comfy... - fewer if even less crafty goodies for you then, my girl, with a ickle jobby to play with!!! Oh well...
I am off then now, as I am trying not to bore you ridgid this week... mother watching and gardening duties permitting, I shall endeavour to be less naughty and get to more of your desks for a snoop this week... keep the comments coming, as they REALLY help on a dark day!!
Love and Light

Enjoyed my peek at your desk today Frankie - hope you are having an awesome WOYWW!
Since I live in the states, I had to keep reading before it hit me what a MINI is. Pretty awesome, if you ask me, and so, so much better than anything TH (grin)!! Have a great WoYWW from # 10.
So much happening on your desk. I love all of the wonderful Tim Holtz products. I have blog candy (all Tim Holtz). #14
I could get lost for days with the goodness on your desk. And new TH goodies, I would have to remember to come up for air. dani22

Now that's a busy desk!
So much to see...and so little time. ;D
Who needs tidy? Creativity calls for clutter sometimes.
Have fun ~ Happy WOYWW

Can't wait to see the new car.... your desk is FULL this week!!Hope you resolve your garden issues.. Helen, 33
Wow, the mini sounds amazing - have fun scooting around, you Girl Racer!!
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition - one of my fav Python sketches. In Winchester Cathedral, there is a tomb of Cardinal Henry Beaufort and he looks just like Michael Palin from that sketch, lol!!! Hat and all... hahahahahaha. Well, it amuses us Appletons anyway :D

That's what I like to see a busy desk and loving your new pressies!
Thanks for sharing, hugs Erika. #83
It's just obvious from your somewhat cluttered (!) desk that you've been so creative that you've need all that stuff out (plus you've rightly been in the garden) thanks for the opportunity of having a peep at your workspace - trying to make a few visits early this week! Hazel, WOYWW #87 x
Wonderful stash, enjoy playtime!

heheehe! Love your messy desk - it's just as it should be! enjoy your new wheels. annie :)
Your desk makes me smile, and feel less guilty about my own. Love the metal, lots to play with there.
Enjoy your new Mini, I had a Mini Clubman in the late '70s and loved it. We went all over the country from Scotland to Kent to Jersey and France and it never let me down. Still miss it.

Bliss. Someone else making excuses!! What's in the box then Mrs? Or is it the outside of the box that's about to be transformed?!
And you know what, I have a theory about people like you and DT positions....I reckon you don't get them becauae you do a fab job of promotion all on your own..so why would they give you the stuff when you buy it AND produce wonderful pieces with? Anyway - you don't wanna DT position, you need independence and freedom so you can say what you like!!
I forgot to say - congrats on the Mini, what a fab fab way to celebrate being a Brit this year.
Yeah ...someone who has a desk nearly as choatic as mine....mine is that bad at the moment I wonder some days whether I actually have a desk under it all.lol #9
Yes, it's a little messy, but very creative space! A true crafter!!
Glenda 101

Wow that's some desk, full of fab craftiness! Take care & enjoy the snooping! Zo xx 74
Wow a new mini no wonder you have not tidied or crafted you would be zooming around enjoying the driving. Look at all those lovely Tim goodies waiting for you to have fun with. Sandy :)
Gardening is overrated in my book (and blummin' ongoing!) so a few TH goodies is the least you should expect! Love the sound of your new car! I bet you're off right now, zooming around with your fancy gadgets! Much Wednesday love x #56
wow a very busy desk... glad I popped over.. will pop back to see the car...I have always wanted a Mini... bought a TT instead....

WEeeelllll I agree that you need to clear a teeny space... so you have room to play with all the new toys! Maybe you could just bung that wooden box on the floor?
Lovely to see a truly In Progress desk! Have fun!
You have to garden when the weather is right - the rest of this week will be awful so you can get in that craft room. Unless you are swanning off in that fab MINI!!!!!! x Jo
OAAHHH I want a Mini...fabulous cars... well what a productive desk going on.. it's only bits and bobs a quick tidy ... Done!! love your challenge entry Brillant!!! Have a fun week, Hugs May x x x#62
Nice to see I'm not the only one who keeps intending to tidy up! It's much more fun playing with all the goodies.
Bernice
Oh I can't wait to see pics of your new MINI!!! I didn't know they were making an Olympic edition...how exciting!!!

Oh it looks deliciously messy and creative! Mine gets into that state quite often. Now that my daughter is home from school, she's been playing with me which means more mess! :) A wee bit of vitamin sunshine is good for the creative soul. Happy WOYWW! Warmly, Tracy #105
My space has been like that way too many times. But somehow we always find space to craft!
Your desk made me smile. Just shows you're like the rest of us. I would love to dive into/onto that desk!!!
