WOYWW 151

Another messy picture, oh no, it must be Wednesday already again and time for the massive weekly bloghop. If you want to know more, go HERE

I'm going to use this chance to say welcome to all my new followers, I so appreciate you all!!!

Just two pictures today, here is the project I have been working on: I know it's way too early for Christmas, but I got this wonderful Santa stamp in return for some design work I did and I just had to give it a try lol
Here is a really messy corner of my workspace that I have not shown before, it looks awful! The plan is to show it again next week all beautifully tidy..... Wish me luck...

    Your santa tag is just so beautiful and whimsy, understandable that you wanted to show it! And I am waiting now, curiously, how your corner redo will end. Keep my fingers crossed for a good start! Greets, Manu

    Love the santa stamp and your tag is so delightful, the colours are magical together ... arrhh I need colour lessons from you Astrid. :-)

    As for your work area ... Hmmmmm ... it looks interesting and I am now wondering if you would find anything if it were 'perfect' .. lol

    Hi again Astrid, lovely to see you back here in WOYWW land.
    I don't think I told you last week, I love your blog header. Fab!
    Beautiful tag you have made this week and what does it matter if it is way ahead of time - you have started the "C" trek.
    Hugs, Neet #3 xx

    I have a purple tag on my desk this week for TAG TUESDAY CHALLENGE.
    I think yours would have fitted in well with this weeks theme.
    Or is yours blue ?
    have a great week

    OK, good luck then, alhtough it's paper that makes the mess, it's all sticky outy and unco-operative and you're going to use it in a minute, so is it worth wrestling it...There, I've literally typed y thoughts as I looked at your apparent mess! Love the santa, however unseasonal, I can see you getting mileage from that stamp.

    I like that Santa because it's so different from the usual red and white. In fact, he almost looks as if he's from an Eastern European fairy tale or something...you know, from the Wild Woods.

    Hello Astrid,

    I love that tag - a wonderful vintage look to it. You can never start on Christmas too early!

    Your desk (or that portion of it) isn't messy at all.

    I like how you committed to having your work area tidy by next week. Now that we all know, you'll have to be sure to do it. Of course, we're all crafters here and will totally understand if you don't, but maybe we can be added incentive. Love, love, love, the Christmas tag, the flowers and the ribbon and such a fabulous stamp!

    You craft room doesn't look that untidy to me - at least the cupboard doors close - mine have so much stuff pulled out and piled up on the floor in front of them, that they can't shut!!

    great looking crafting space! I would feel right at home cause my stuff is so messy also but I know where everything is! Love the tag. I don't care what time of year if I decide to make Christmas cards, or valentines or whatever I do! I am retired I am old in years but young in heart so I do as I please for me!

    Fabulous Christmassy tag Astrid. I love your workspace and all the storage - look forward to seeing it again next week too.

    Thanks for already coming to see my desk this week. I'm afraid I don't know where my Sister got the carousel thingy from - I'll ask her next time I see her. The Distress markers were an extravangant purchase I agree, I'll just have to make sure I use them before they run out! Hope you're enjoying your guilty pleasure too x
