Anyway, back to the competition, I mean desk share, this is mine this week, taken just before tea yesterday just before I walked away leaving it just as it is now.
So what can you see? Two of my 'Really Useful' boxes full (and I mean 'full') of stamps - I have another 6 hidden out of sight, a shortbread tin from Christmas, sadly now empty of shortbread but happily full of PaperArtsy Fresco paints. I don't have nearly enough of these beautiful paints so will have to eat more shortbread so that I can have another empty tin to fill.
I have been working on some more pages for the Deco swap I'm in, this time the theme is 'black, white and a touch of purple and I finished them today. I used the Tim Holtz Papillon stamps (my favourites) on one page and the Crafty Individuals row of buildings on the other. Think I need to adjust my camera as the colours are not quite right, especially on the second page but you get the idea.
Bit worried that I've overdone the purple - how much is 'a touch' anyway? Have had the semi-circular moon stamp for years and never used it, must have been waiting for just this swap.
So that's the last peep at my table in February and also a 'last' is the chance to win my blog candy as it closes tomorrow (Thursday).
If you would like a chance to win just leave a comment on the candy post here and if you would like a second chance then, in the words of the Pied Piper 'follow me' - I promise not to lock you up in a mountain side (how weird is that story?). Whatever you do this week, do it well and have fun.

Brilliant deco pages, I love the stamps that you've used.
xxx Hazel.
Lovely pages Ann, the first one is pretty and would be lovely as a card. The second - I have that building stamp too (love it) but the other one - wow, what a fab stamp!
I share your love of Fresco paints but must use others up before I buy even more. Still, will no doubt get tempted at the next ArtsyCrafty.
Hugs, Neet xx
Lovely desk, and great stamps on it. Love your creations.
I love the RUBs - they really are very useful! and the shortbread tin has come in handy too. Love your pages (Hazel, WOYWW #5) x
A beautiful mess creative. I like to clean up after the most fruitful work.

I can see that Sorel has not been tidying up for you, again! Love that Keep Calm and Carry On mug on your desk! Not entered WOYWW this week as a touch under the weather...
Gorgeous deco page Ann and a touch can be as light or as heavy as you wish (and I love purple)!!!

well i dont think i will be winning the full desk but well done you,loved your cards,happy crafting,x
If you need any help emptying a second tin of shortbread, I'm there for you! You've got great goodies on your desk and I love your deco cards. I got nothing on how much "a touch" is. I think different people have different amounts for that!
Good to hear that you will take on another tin of shortbread to help out the storage decor! What a sacrifice that will be for you...teehee
Great idea to have the big piece of cardboard over your table. Great for stamping etc.
How come your desk still looks pretty even though it has loads of stuff on it - lol! Your two pages look great, I love the purple!
Thanks for already coming to see my desk. You asked if the theme for my AB was going to be 'words'. I really haven't thought of a theme yet, I had quite a bit of trouble finding a book with a sewn spine, and the dictionary was all I could find. My theme maybe something completely different, although if I'm stuck, then I think it probably will be words! Thanks for the idea - lol x

I know what you mean about the free papers, I must admit I dont always keep the shiny papers either! Busy space going on, great makes, love the papillion Holtz stamp, think I might invest in that one myself!

I don't think you used to much purple. Both are beautiful pieces, but that cityscape, Wow!! Dani43
Love your samples and I personally don't think you can ever have too much purple. x (#86)
Love that row of houses stamp! And I do like how you used that half moon stamp too. Thanks for your kind words on my blog! Happy WOYWW!

I say you can never have enough purple, but then that's me! Lovely pages Ann!
