Creating in Chaos WOYWW 192

Hi there dear Friends...
The question yesterday was do I tidy up, or do I just shove everything back a little and create???
I am shameless to share my untidy desk with you today on Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday it is a close-up so you don't see the chaos!!
As You can see I chose to create!!


You can spot, some hand carved stamps, some hand-made flowers inspired by The Gentleman Crafter.
The colourful book you see is an altered dictionary, my first page...I got jealous when I saw my friend Eleni's lovely pages...she is playing at the Craft Barn doing the Alpha Challenge... I chose the word ETHNIC for the letter E.....I have a coupleof pages to catch up, but that is fine...

I am a little Greek girl that was born in Africa... and yet I feel thatI am a Hippie deep down...were it not for my hubby I would be dressed in long flowing dresses, with wild hair and lots of beads around my neck!!! The second two do happen!
Here are the flowers..
That is it for now...off to tidy up that desk!!!
Love Zeffy!

  9. Your dictionary is awesome. The thumb nail on the craft barn blog is really eyecatching!
    While I'm here I'll leave you a WOYWW message too... always push back a little or pile it up a bit (or a bit more!) and create!!
    Happy WOYWW

  15. ahh yess....the shove and stack method of desk cleaning...I do that a lot. Watched the video with Jim doing the flowers a couple days ago. I made some the same way a while back but ran them through the Big Shot in embossing folders. If you would like to see them they are on my blog. http://okienurse.blogspot.com/2012/04/ten-second-studio-guest-designer-post_18.html Love the colors and style on your journal pages. I think I am an old hippie! Thanks for sharing and visiting my desk! Hope you have a great week! Vickie #32

  17. Hi Zeffy - thanks for the visit to my floorspace!!
    That's a really cool E spread - and love those flowers!!!
    There is nothing wrong with long dresses and beads - I can do that (but not the long hair to go with it!!)
    Have a great week
