This is what it actually looks like most of the time below! I still prefer my desk... the first picture, although beautiful to look at, it doesn't look like much happy creativity goes on there on a regular basis.
I have boxes of supplies and things under my table because it's handy where I can grab them. To the right of my desk I have a flat screen where I love to watch tutorials, HGTV and Downton Abbey, which I will soooo miss now!
I am still working on Journal pages, which is an on going process for me. If not journal pages, then you can be assured that some other project is in progress.
My space just seems to get smaller and smaller, but I am extremely grateful for it and the big window opens out to trees where I can see the squirrels and birds.
This is the table that I originally put up behind my desk to do mail out packaging etc. but now I that do that in the dining room because this (temporary table, haha) is now used for other projects I have started or in the process of.
Right now, I am working on tags and bunches of Relics and Artifacts as well as an assemblage using some of the Finnabair products for the first time. I'll let you know how that all goes once I have started it.

Will Kim to tell you the truth when looking at that first pic I was thinking "WHAT?!?" It's all tidied up, but where's the creativity? Creative chaos is just wonderful!! I love your creative space just the way it is. Thank you for sharing <3

I love so much about your work space - the hot air balloon, the beautiful collage you are making, the little bits and bobs all beautifully laid out ready for use, the black and white box (Oh I SOOOOO love the black and white box) and the birds over by your window - what a perfect place to create, thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks also for your visit to mine earlier, have a great week,

I don't think I could deal with the first desk photo, the photos of your real desk is awesome! You have SO much room - I am jealous! I love the colors on the journal on the desk - I would love to see it finished. And the assemblages you are working on looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing! Lindart #67
ReplyDeleteOMG! You scared me there for a minute. I thought you were going to win the clean desk award for the week. I like your 'real' desk a lot better - lots of creativity going on !
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

had me worried there with that first picture - the second was much more reassuring! You're certainly busy, with loads of different things going on. Amazing how it creeps when we are not looking, isn't it? Soon the whole home is taken over by craft things....
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

I really thought that was your desk for a moment! Yours looks much more interesting.A lot going on.
ReplyDeleteSorry I´m late. I had my new computer today and I have been fiddling about with that but now I have everything going. (I am typing this on my new keyboard, which is Spanish, so I am constantly looking for things that are in a different place). I still have to sort out the printer and some speakers, but the system works!
Have a great week and thanks for visiting me earlier.

This reminds me of my friend, Jeanne's, work room. The messier it is, the more the creativity is just EXPLODING.
ReplyDeleteHaha, you had us going there with the first pic! 😃 I love what's going on at your real desk, the collages are amazing, especially the balloon..fabulous! I also love that black and white tin but hadn't spotted it until I read Diana's comment above! Btw, if you're a real Downton fan, hook up with Sandy (EafWriteDreamStitch, number 49 this week). She's loves it too and is missing it!

ReplyDeleteYou weren't fooling me at all with that first picture Kim! When i saw the next, I said,now that's an artistic space! heehee
ReplyDeleteJackie xo
Oh, you're good Jackie!! :)
DeleteLOL! I was a bit shocked actually when I saw the first photo. Your work is so artful and colourful... I didn´t get the whole picture...
ReplyDeleteBut then ... AHA! Now I see the real artist. ;)
You have so many beautiful projects going on. I get so inspired by all the desks on WOYWW.
My desks are like yours. Full of small things all the time.
Sussie, nr 44 WOYWW, sorry for being late...
Oh my goodness what an amazing space and whilst the first photo is lovely - I must admit I much prefer the creative desks - so much going on and happening - utterly gorgeous and amazing

Hi Ozark Neighbor! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Wow, you have a lot going on. So many yummies to play with I would not know where to start! And interesting links on your sidebar as well. Sorry I'm running behind this week. Between the headcold and being away over the weekend...

Hi Kelly,
DeleteI am in Conway, Arkansas. Not sure I have been to your neck of the woods, but maybe close. Hope you feel better soon, everyone I know is sick.. this crazy weather doesn't help any.
Feel better soon!!
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI think it's grea that everyone hated the first desk and warmed totally to the second REAL desk. I do think that first one belongs in dreams. :)
Wonderful balloon girl, I really love her, superb work indeed! I have a ballon girl too, will hunt up the post.
Thanks so much for sharing, Shaz in Oz.x #5

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my desk already

Hey! Your dream desk is similar to my dream desk.... lots of nice open space. Not at all realistic or possibly even any fun, but it's all good in our dreams. Anyway, just had to post into this older post because of that desk photo. I enjoyed the real shots far more!
