woyww #177 ..made it at last!!

well it is time for that mid week desk hopping...courtesy of our lovely hostess Julia..
so i have been awol for far too many weeks
and am jolly glad to be back..
there have been lots of house and real life things going on
......
 that have made my desk hopping a non event.
so without further ado here is my desk this week:
 
 
normally my desk is tidy and ship shape..
but not this week,
there are traces of halloween makes..
more later this week...
 
and lots more..
so short and sweet from me today..
so glad to be back and off to get hopping..
to join in all the fun...
 
have a fun and inky week

    There is room for crafting so I would call that tidy. Look forward to seeing what you are up to.
    Just a quickie from me as I have Internet for a short while here inCyprus.

    Ah, it's nice to see you back - hope all the background home busy-ness was positive and not anything untoward.....

    Love your desk - it's a real cwtch as we say in Wales. It makes me feel that it's a real hideaway with everything so neatly to hand!

    In my world - your desk is definitely tidy! Loving that curved shaped shelf above the desk - really handy for keeping things off the desk... that's it - that's why mine is always a mess... I don't have a shelf. I need one.

    Thanks for the peek and for inspiring me to get a shelf (tongue in cheek)!

    Thank you for visiting my blog - happy WOYWW...

    There is a bunch of stuff out but there is still more than plenty of room to play! I looked a desk similar to yours when my original roll top desk gave up the ghost but I held fast to wanting another roll top. I liked the shelf for mulch-tiered piling as you have done.

    If you had a favourite product and you couldn't include Distress stains or the applicators I would make a bet it is your stapler. Great desk this week and so good to see it clean, I so love your tags.
