What's On My Desk ~This Week

I am not real good at coming up with GREAT original ideas, but I'm AWESOME at copying them!! Don't get me wrong, occasionally I come up with some pretty good ideas of my own, but this isn't one of them!!!

Recently I've seen several bloggers doing different versions of "What's On My Desk" and I really liked them.  So, I'm going to attempt to copy this trend and do a new weekly posting of what is actually ON my desk. Hopefully it's not to boring or strange for you.  I seriously doubt any of those BIG important bloggers, who've I've stolen the idea from, will ever make it over here to read my blog. But if they do, I hope they see it as "copying is the most sincere form of flattery" And I would give credit, if I could remember where I've seen it.
If you Instgram, you can check out #whatsonmydesk and see bunches of fun pics from others doing this.
I'm going to try to do this every week. No cleaning up the desk, and making it look cute for pics, just a few pics of literally, what is on my desk this week.

So This Is "What's On My Desk~ This Week"


Okay so working from left to right we have a giant photo order from Walgreens. Above the photo order is my Project Life stuff {it's always on this desk, my album is further to the left}  My new We Are Memory Keepers 3x4 punch {which works perfectly for Project Life}. A couple of tealight holders I got on clearance at Pier One {not sure where they're going yet, or if they match the room well enough to keep in here.} A tape runner, 2 acrylic mounting blocks for stamps, a roll of Washi tape, and a chevron Christmas tree stamp {got all those items, this past weekend while having a "girls days" of shopping/lunch} My {empty} purse laying on the chair. And all the contents of my purse ~mail that we received that needs to get filed, mail that needs sent out, several JoAnn Fabrics fliers, a Nervz End CD, my planner, car phone charger, mini wallet {a hand me down from my daughter}, sunglasses, and Burts Bees lip balm. And last but not least, d-CON. Yep, for killing the mice!! The past couple of years we seem to have had a lot of mice, and this year, I'm getting serious!!

There are NO projects happening in The Studio, right this minute. It's really too messy to do much of anything. I also have a bookshelf, that's holding my rather massive paper collection, that is about to fall over. So THAT is going to be the first project I handle before I get to do anything fun!!

There are several desks/counter top spaces in the Studio, where things tend to get piled. So there is also a small pile on the short dresser


This is the makings of a project, 2 actually. My Fall Manifesto Album, and My Mother/Daughter photo shoot album. This is just the gathering stage. I also got that cute little black album that has the strangest size pages in it.  Trying to find some refills for it, and decide what to use it for.

And then we have my computer desk area.  Which usually houses the laptop, my planner, a few notebooks, and other odds and ends. It's a bit of a mess too, so here's what's on that desk



The box for my NEW iPhone 5s. YES!!! I AM VERY PUMPED ABOUT THAT!!!!  I've been using the 3 for several years now, and it finally crashed. My Where Woman Create, magazine. I LOVE this magazine.  I like to see other people's creative spaces and organizational systems. The rest of that pile, {well, this past Saturday I went shoe shopping with my son and daughters boyfriend. They ditched me at JoAnn's while they hit up the bike shops. So I grabbed a few little things} Studio Calico stamp, couple rolls of Washi tape, {cuz you can NEVER have too much Washi tape!!} A cute & stamp, a wooden treble clef {which I plan to paint and hang on my wall somewhere} and a table clothe from the clearance rack {scored that for 1.68 I think}

And that's pretty much it for this week. Tell me, What's On YOUR desk...?????
