What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday #68??? and A PROJECT!!

Good morning all of my blogging friends!!!
Today I thought that I would do something different for me.
I hope it's fun for you!!!
I thought that I woul play

I hope you have a cup of tea or coffee. It might take a few minutes as I have taken photos of my not so clean room to show you!!! LOL

I do have a fun project to show you!!





Well this first picture is as you walk in my room/studio.
WELCOME!!!!
yep, that is my loyal furbee friend laying under my workdesk. His name is Laynie and he is everywhere my feet are!! LOL.
He lays under my workdesk by my feet as long as I sit there. And he follows me everywhere I move it. Right on my heels. If I stop he bumps into me!! LOL..

Well let get a little closer to my workdesk.As you can see I have my computer on the desk by the wall so I just have to turn around from what I am working on and it's right there. Next to it if you look close I have my sewing mahine.. It has to be VERY VERY close as I do use it on ALMOST EVERYTHING!!

Now let get behind my desk and see what I have on it.

As you can see not much on it.. as far as work in progress!! Not even a cup of coffee!!
You can see my copic marker in those little buckets to the left. OH HECK WHAT A MESS THAT has become since I have over 100 of them now!! But in the next photo that is going to change!!

READY????
I am so excited to show you this!!!!!!
Now look at my new holder for my Copic markers!!!!
OH MY GOSH I am so excited!!!!
This little gem came from Michelle's Scrapbooking and more if you want to pick one up. They are now a tad pricey BUT OH SO WORTH IT!!!!
Look I even have a cup of coffe this morning!!


Let's get a little closer look at it..
Should we????
sorry all of the photos are so dark. It is so gloomy and raining outside! But it has cooled off just a tad. Anything under 100 degree is welcome !!
Don't you just LOVE IT????
Okay so you are asking me what is it that I have on the top?
Well I will tell you.
I have put my candle on the left and Halloween Magnolia card in the middle that can be seen in a post below and the cute Edwin on the bottle well that is my hand sanitizer!!
Now let's get that down and talk about it.. As that is my project for today!
This is a refillable bottle of hand sanitizer and it was so plain and ugly so I decided the other day to fix that!!! heheheheheeeeee
I have colored him with my copic markers and watercolor pencils. I have cut him out and I CUT THE TULIPS OFF. I thought that he would look so shy and cute with his hands behind his back like he was trying to hide them because they are dirty.. LOL...
I have added a band of papers around the bottle from my scrap bag and added 2 different trims and a cute little checked bow!!
Now just how cute it that???
I LOVE HIM!!
No more ugly old well used bottle sitting on my table!!!
If you click on the link above it will take you to Magnolia-Licious to purchase this little cutie..

Okay now let's move on around my room a bit.
If I am sitting at my work table the closet with tons of papers and just stuff is CRAMMED in there!! LOL.. OH BOY what a mess!!! But it all an organized mess as I do know where everything is!! LOL....
both sides look the same so only a photo of the one side today.

next if I am sitting at my work table I have these long cute shelves that house alot of my things. As you can see I have a ton of junk on top of there right now. Things that need to do and things that I need to ship out!

To the far left you will see that I have 2 cabinets.
Oh and just what do I keep in them???
Let's go have a peek..

The top one has a lot of my paper flowers in it. In little easy to take out clear buckets.
If you look to the left of there you will see that I have SOME of my ribbon on a ribbon rack that my WONDERFUL HUBBY made for me years ago. Love that thing also!!

So what is in the bottom cabinet??
MORE PAPER!!!!
and boy what a mess that is!!!!!
LOL...



Well I have to tell you that this was fun and the first time that I have played the WOYWDW.

I hope you have enjoyed your trip around my little room/studio.


Just to see how many of you have read through the post.. Let's play a little game.
I have a secret package of fun little goodies here for someone that leaves me a comment.
I will pick a number out of a hat and post the winner to my blog on Saturday with my Magnolia Down Under DT card.

Have a very WONDERFUL HUMP DAY and I will be back tomorrow with my card for Colour Create Challenge Blog!!
BIG HUGS, Janiel

Thanks for the detailed guided tour Janiel, but if you think this is messy you should see mine most if the time. I have moments of madness when I go on a spree and tidy up, change containers etc, but for the most part...yep it's messy lol.
That storage container for your Copics is brilliant, I wish I could find something suitable here in Aussie....(think I'm dreaming)

What an amazing array of goodies - love your companion & HOW do you keep your floor so clean, mine normally looks like a snowstorm. An amazing array of ribbons & flowers & I love how it is all arranged. That Copic storage system looks ideal too. Thanks for a lovely peek & the chance of a little candy too.

Jodi said...

I absolutely loved how you have organized your room! Very nice to see how everyone stores things and keeps it all together!! What a cute altered soap bottle you have created!
Hugs
Jodi =)

Norma said...

Oooh Janny, your craft room is so organized. And so neat! A place for everything and everything in its place. Does it stay that way when you’re in the middle of creating a card? Do you put your tools, punches, etc. back right away after each use? I tend to clutter my craft table when I’m working. I start with a clear table, but as I work, my clear space slowly diminishes to about one square foot…LOL.

Hugs,
Norma

NEEDLEWINGS said...

Wow, they certainly saved the best desk for last! I've enjoyed visiting your work area. Certainly needed a cup of coffee to visit.

Sheila said...

You lost me at the first picture! I love your room. Major case of room envy....

Thanks for the tour of your studio. Wow so organized!! You always create such marvelous works of art and now we all know where it happens. Great idea for the hand sanitizer!!

Tracy Valure said...

Love your room Jan! It's so cute. You have some really great storage space too. I have to re-do mine. I have space, but it is not organized at the moment! I have to check out that Copic holder too! Super nice!! Cute idea for the hand santizer. I should do that for the one I keep here at work!

Charlotte said...

I'm so envious of your room. I love how organized it is. My work room is so small and right now very unorganized. You have some great ideas for storage.

Kathy Gerace said...

Oh, Janny, I am SOOOO jealous! Your room is drop dead gorgeous. I love all the different ways you have stored things using every tiny bit of space! Just love it:-)
Edwin covering the hand saintizer is a great idea and very clever.

so so lovely to see your crafty space! Lovely to see where all your crafty magic happens! Hugs juls

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Welcome to WOYWW. I'm so glad I came. I didn't expect a giveaway since it's YOUR first time and all. You have the most amazing work space. I clicked to see how "pricey" the copic marker holder was and was shocked. I would say yes, it's very pricey, but what do I know? I don't even own any of them. As for your other areas, the photo with the ribbon storage and paper flowers in jars is just TOO gorgeous for words. I would love to come and play. I hope you will come back often, because you have a fabulous work desk and crafting areas.

I'm not even going to apologize for being late, even though it's your first time. That's especially true since I'm number 2 this week. It's really all YOUR FAULT. I got totally distracted by everything in your studio!

paperpapier said...

oh my gosh...you have a "Craft Store" instead, full of yummy crafting goodies! Even some of our local craft stores I been to do not carry as much crafting tools/papers as you. Love to spend crafting time in your studio...(lol)...
hugs, heaney
