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

Sandie said...

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

Neet said...

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

Twiglet said...

That is a gorgeous Christmas cration and I love the way you have photographed it. x Jo

Julia Dunnit said...

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.

Ann B said...

I hope we get at least a bit of summer sunshine before I have to get out the C stamps but saying that I love your tag, it it beautiful.

Thanks for visiting my blog earlier - much appreciated

Loving your Christmas tag, its fab Astrid. Loving your work space, its so much tidier than mine. x

Gabrielle said...

Oh my! For a moment I panicked thinking I was yet again late in my Christmas prep so I'm glad it is you that is early rather than me late! Lovely stamp - no wonder it needed to be tried! Gabrielle #42

I am covering my eyes and ears and going LA LA LA LA LA - I cannot even THINK of that C word for about 6 more months! But the sneaky peek I did get in tells me that tag is stunning.

Lovely Santa tag - I like to make Christmas things throughout the year too and as for the tidying up it already looks tidy to me so carry on crafting instead! Thanks for sharing - Sunshine Girl No. 20

Lunch Lady Jan said...

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.
Hugs, LLJ #33 xx

Glenda said...

I love your tag...never too early for christmas! I really need to do some too! Good luck with your organization; maybe when you finish yours, you could come visit mine!

Redanne said...

Some people start their Christmas cards on 1 Jan so you have been very restrained indeed. Love you tag, it is beautiful. Wishing you good luck for the changes you are planning in your workspace. Anne #61

Rita said...

Oh my goodness Astrid, I love that tag. Stunning work too. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xx 67

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.

Happy WOYWW

Is already Christmas again?

A fantastically beautiful Santa tag, dear Astrid! Very nicely designed and I love all the details!

Franka Benjaminsen said...

Well if I look outside I would think it's Xmas time. But your tag is fabulous. Love this brown and blue colour combination. Hope you have a crafty week and wish you good luck with cleaning your corner. Bye, Franka #9

Princess Judy Palmer said...

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!

Danielle said...

I love the colors you used on your santa tag. It is so frilly and fro-fro... love it! dani138

MadeByKarla said...

you must have a pretty big workspace!
Hope to see more of it on other WOYWWs :)
You're so right! That santa stamp is great!

My name is Cindy said...

I don't think you can ever be too early for Christmas Astrid! The tag is lovely, good luck with your tidying!!

Elizabeth said...

Hello Astrid, your Santa tag is gorgeous and I can quite see why you love that stamp, it's perfect vintage. Good luck with the clean up of that corner - look forward to seeing it again next week. Hope you have a lovely creative week. Elizabeth x #113

Hazel said...

Love the Christmas tag - it's definitely not too early - I run a Christmas challenge blog so I make cards all year round. That corner doesn't look that bad ... but look forward to seeing the tidy up - (Hazel, #173) x

Lisa-Jane said...

Good luck with the tidying! That's a great santa tag too. #36

Amy E said...

Sandy said...

Oh cant wait to see what you do with that area of your room:)

Bernice said...

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!!

fairy thoughts said...

your room looks quite organised to me at least you can shut the cupboards and hide stuff away.
thanks for the peek

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! Have a great week and thanks for commenting on my blog! Vickie #41

Neesie said...

Santa is a winning anytime in my book.

Hi, Thanks for visiting me, I have since posted a better photo on my Layout btw. Your Santa tag had me in a time warp for a moment but it is superb. Gold and blue, hmmmm, gonna have to try that one and I have a Tim Holtz santa stamp I haven't used yet too. Looking forward to the BIG tidy up next week. BJ#51

Kirsty.A said...

Tertia said...

It doesn't look so bad. I was so ashamed when I saw my desk on my blog that I actually cleaned up for the rest of yesterday, that is why I only got to you now.
Happy belated WOYWW

Fuchsia said...

Wow love the Christmas tag Astrid and good luck for a tidy corner next week LOL

Sherry said...

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

Just got a whole lot of new stamps from a brilliant place called the Stamp Smith. This is the image that I first saw on Docraft and really liked. I asked the friend who has used it in an ATC, where she got it. Well she borrowed it from a friend who got it from ebay as a one off. But.... it had a title. I googled the title, and hey presto found the site. They have great stamps and offer a really friendly fast service. I highly recommend them!
