What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 223

photowoyww

Took this shot on Tuesday, 10:30 PM…with my eyes half closed!  Workday tomorrow!  I have not posted to WOYWW since Week 198!  I have missed all of you!

I have   325  Days   -- or --   46  Weeks and  3  Days left until I retire!  No more waking up at the crack of dawn!  More time to craft!  I can’t wait, on my last year!  Whoopeee.  Sorry, got sidetracked!

Well, what the heck is on my desk this week.  Starting from the left is my very dirty towel.  I am finding I like a towel, more than paper towels.

The three tags are the result of a class I am taking from Tim Holtz.  I really had a blast doing all three techniques. I just finished the class, realized that it was Tuesday night and had to get a photo and blog, because I know I won’t do it at 5 in the morning and I am not willing to get up earlier!  If I wait, I will forget!

Not sure which tag I like the best of the first two, the one on the right, I ruined with my heat tool.  Tim was right, the type of heat tool I have concentrates to a small area.  I need to find one that will not blow my ink all over the place…..

Can you see the card kinda in the middle behind the green distress ink?  That was fun to do, I still have to mount it.  It was my first attempt at faux tiling.  Finished it and then smudged the dern thing before I could mount it.

If you are wondering why in the heck I would show you my desk, my boo-boos, my mess….take it up with Julia!  She started it!

Each week, on Wednesdays, folks from around the world take photos of their workdesk, just as it sits, and shares a what is going on in the room.  Come join as at Julia’s Stamping Ground!

Off to bed I go!

Love those tags!The colours look great in the photo! This was one of the first techniques I tried when I started to get into craft properly about a year ago! Have you got a Ranger heat tool? That's the kind I have and they seem to work quite well. I bet you can't wait for that retirement! Craft, craft, craft - yippee! Have a lovely WOYWW and thanks for the earler visit! Julie Ann #42

Robin said...

No. Tim was pointing out in class that his was diffused. I never had any other type of heat tool, I fact I have had this one since 2001. it does indeed blow stuff! So a new heat tool has been added to the growing list!

Robin said...

Yes. I had to sign up for the 101 to qualify for the 102 class. Really enjoying it!

Howdy Robin,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. You will LOE retirement. I technically retired in January 2013 - being the wufe of a railroad engineer, the spouse also gets a pension. So when he retired, I retired.

Although I was still searching daily for an IT job up until 7/30/13. Then we decided I should FOCUS on my artwork. Hence, my mini-studio makeover!

Peace,
LuLu
