As for my other desk, it is filled with other pieces that I have cut on my Cricut this week. They are laying on my desk awaiting to be put away in some clear plastic envelope as soon as I get more of them. They will make for a nice stash to play with later or trade with others. I loved how the trees made a nice negative to make a stencil with or to put on cards as well. One side of the card stock was green while the other with a news print. It is one of Tim Holtz variety packs.
My desk wasn't too terribly messy this time, but you should have seen all the bits of paper on the floor! I guess those birds I cut out can be quite messy regardless if I used newsprint in their cages. lol
Another thing that I wanted to share with you is my old desk caddy that I had gotten at a yard sale a couple of years ago. I am sure it was meant to put in rubber bands, paper clips and other office supplies in it, but when I found out that these chalk inks fit so perfectly, WOW it was such an AH HA moment! Because of the color of the plastic, I am thinking that this was perhaps something from around 20 years or so ago. Anyway, I am tickled with it's function and if you should be so lucky enough to find something like this, I know you would be in heaven too!
Thanks for having a peak at my desk this week. Looking forward to hearing from you. The drawing will be on March 28th. Good Luck!

First I love your cat, he is such a cutie. I like the caddy too, It sure makes organization much easier.
I would be honored to receive your pin cushion, I am a hopeless quilter although I enjoy sewing clothes and knitting/crocheting.
Thanks for the giveaway.

So amny things there to comments on. Love the blog candy...such vibrant colours!
Love the cutouts on your cricut. I have one that I have only used once when someone else did it for me. I am such a chicken about new toys! The colours you chose and the reverse image are just great.
Your chalk ink holder is fab!
Lovely give-away, those little cushions are beautiful. Very happy to become a follower. The tree diecuts on your previous post looking very good. I would cut out of metal just so I could use the negative images on something.
Thanks for visiting me.

The minute I saw your cathedral pin cushions I was hooked and ready to follow, then I read on and saw that you're having a drawing. Well, that just sugared the pot. I am in love with the cathedral pattern. I have this incredible quilt that my Mom made back in the 70's. She passed away 6 years ago (one day short of her 100th birthday). Everyone was flying in and a party was planned so we just turn her party into her memorial, she would have loved it (birthday cake and all). Anyway I treasure this quilt. I'm not a quilter but I know all the many hours that went into it and it will someday be passed to my daughter. Thank you for sharing. Your newest follower and fellow blogger, Connie
Fabulous storage!!! Love how the pads just sit there waiting to be used! The tree negatives would make wonderful ATCs!! Trish #64

Oh my, Aslan is a very handsome cat! And I love the look on his face as if he is saying "What?! This is somewhere I like to lie. You can work around me."
Your pillows are beautiful! What a wonderful talent you have!
xoxo Karen #179
Those pin cushions are beautiful and that is quite the helper you have there! I just love that bird cage die from Tom Holtz, but you are so right, it does make such a mess! Love your caddy, it's perfect for those inks. Mine are stacked up, sort of, and I knock them over every time I reach for one! :)
what fabulous pincushions! I purchased a bag of CW blocks (some completed, some works in progress) at an estate sale. They might be too large for pincushions but may use your idea if not. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wanda, love the pincushion and the organizer. Aslan is too gorgeous for words (looks like he knows it too!). Love your blog and your work is always so beautiful and well executed. Hugs, Charmion
It looks like that caddy wasa made for the dewdrops inks, how marvellous a find was that! I agree, that grey colour was very trendy here in the early eighties for kitchenware etc, so it's almost vintage!!!
Thanks for stopping by this WOYWW - we have not only our love of crafts but our love of big fluffy cats to bond us! Your work is beautiful! I am newly following & I invite you to join me at Create With Joy!

Hi
Thank you for your nice comments on my blog & for becoming a follower. I have just looked at a little more of your blog & love the work with the photographs. I am interested in finding out nore about the package that you had a link to in the previous post.
Will be back next Wednesday

Congratulations on your five-year milestone.
Your cat is a natural for the camera. Love your new work. I haven't used any of Tim H's products. DO you have a favorite? The caddy does look like it was just made with your needs in mind. They snuggle right in there.
Such lovely pincushions.
I love the look of the stencils on your desk, I also popped over to your ATC blog. I've just started with ATCs and made my second one this month. It's currently winging its way to America in a swap!
Tanks for stoping by my blog and I'd love to win a pincushion!

Great cushions. Your workspace looks very organised, thanks for sharing and happy belated WOYWW, Erika.
Thank you so much for this opportunity! I love your work and admire it so much:) I enjoy visiting your blog for inspiration.
Congratulations on 5 years- I think your cat is beautiful. We have an orange short hair who is a true princess. We love her dearly.
I think your cathedral window pin cushions are really lovely. I have been a follower of your blog for quite awhile now and always enjoy my stop to visit and read about what is new in your neck of the woods.
Regards from Western Canada,
Anna
Thanks for stopping by my blog and joining! I've joined yours, too. Aslan is gorgeous, check out some of my older posts, my big boy Tucker sleeps on top of my stamp piles.
I love that organizer, those inks are a perfect fit. I always find it a challenge to store my inks in an efficient way. Off to see some of your other posts!
Aslan is adorable! I have an Ally that does the same thing, plops right in the middle of whatever I'm working on. I also have Hayleigh that will sit prissly, swish her tail and talk until I stop doing what I'm doing and engage with her. I love, love, love that holder so ingenious!! Have a great day!
Thank you for your comment on my blog. I've always meant to try my hand at cathedral windows but to date have not got around to it. Congrats on your anniversary and please enter my name for a chance at one of your lovely sachets. Don't forget to visit me again as I will post a new giveaway tomorrow.
Oh the pincushion are just so cute and your Asian is very large and cute also....please add me to the list and i am a new blog follower..

Oh, how beautiful. I have recently 'discovered' fabric and patchwork after years of cross stitching and am gingerly finding small things to try. I would love to try these. Many congratulations on your anniversary!
