This should be titled "What ISN'T On My Workdesk", because I've hauled out a big stash of supplies to immerse myself in some serious Christmas card-making. It really is organized chaos around here.
I've been making a single card, then kitting supplies to make multiple copies. I have a big crop on Friday - an entire day of shopping and making cards with my sister and best friend! And during this whole process I couldn't help but indulge in a little scrap room re-organizing.
I now have a die cutting/dry embossing station that is at stand-up height. Die-cutting multiple shapes on a too-low table really made my back ache!
My ever-resourceful husband found an extra table in storage and set it up for me, so I could move my trimmers, circle cutter and score board to a new area. This is also at the perfect height for standing. He even bought me a new Ott light. I feel positively spoiled.
Here are the kits I've assembled so far. After all this work, I've only completely finished a grand total of 6 cards. (go ahead and laugh, that's exactly what Phil did) But I'm ready to make about 50 more at the crop. Any Christmas crafts in the works on your desk?
"What's On Your Workday Wednesday" is a weekly event where over one hundred crafters show and tell what's going on in their corners of the world. You can go to Julia's blog for more glimpses of our creative endeavors.
oh an all day crop sounds like so much fun! love all the kits you are making! i always have to have my kits when i go to a crop!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautifully organised. I've been cutting on the floor! which isn't good for the knees. I need another table. .
ReplyDeleteThat looks incredibly organized! Hope you have fun at making cards at your crop.
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm really impressed with all the organisation. I'm thinking about making Christmas cards but that's as far as I've got as yet :-)

WOW awesome organization making your cards and kitting them up. I need some kind of a cutting table instead of moving the specific cutter off the shelf to my desk but I just don't have the space in my room right now! Thanks for sharing. Have a great week! Vickie #76

ReplyDeleteIt's all so neat a very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWell you're doing Christmas, you're changing things up and making improvements and I can only see organised...this room does not speak chaos to me! What I can see of your 'master' cards are lovely - and the spread across your desk is glorious!
ReplyDeleteThat's a super organised room and an amazingly organised way of making Christmas cards, but you need to lose the red, paint it blue and gold, lol!!

ReplyDeletehi there Sue - thanks so much for popping avoe to my place for a look and a chat - and wow you totally blow me away - how organised some folk are - i have never made more than thee cards in one day I think - but maybe that is not quite right seem to remember going crazy in January and making more than that - but that was a very long time ago in our summer holidays as we call them over here - happy WOYWW!

What a wonderful craft space you have.
ReplyDeleteOk, I am major league impressed. You have inspired me to do a little rearranging and make an assembly line operation for my Christmas cards. Because right now, I'm about where you were when you wrote this - only 5 or 6 done!
