I enjoy prepping for a class, but it's harder/takes longer for me to put everything back in its place. I'll tackle the desk tomorrow since I have a stamp club meeting in the evening. Most of the stuff will go where it's supposed to, and I should be able to clear enough desk space to create more projects.
I wanted to show you the fancy light box I constructed with the cardboard backing from my paper packages. I have this small desktop Ott light (love the clear light it provides!), and built the "box" around it. I place one card in there at a time to take a photo of it for this blog. Cheesy, but it works AND I can fold it so it takes up very little room.
Well, that's it for now. I'll post the stamp-a-stack cards tomorrow. Thanks for visiting! Now go visit Julia and other fabulous workdesks at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com. Ciao!

17? I'd have been there in a shot - I love a stamp a stack workshop I really do. Considering the amount you're doing, I think your area looks pretty good - it's the putting away bit that I don't like. Love your light tent/box - may have to borrow that idea please - if I ever make something worthy of a decent photo!
Fab craft space, all the inkpads and punches look really well organised.
Wow your desk looks great. I am so jealous of all of your SU goodies. Your stamps and punches look so very organised.

I love your photo box. Nothing cheesy about something that works. And tidying is so boring; why do it when you could make something instead? Great desk. Thanks for sharing.
You're lucky for sure, who's worrying about the mess?
what mess? Still fixated on the stamps/inks/punches....

I have storage envy ... really bad now too! Yours all looks so fabulously organised.
I am number 72 by the way :0)
number 74 here...and i have to say wow...how organised you are...and how much stuff you have!!
i'd love to come and play!!
Building a lightbox has been on my to-do list forever - maybe in 2011! Thanks for the peek. S #84

Love your lightbox/tent for photos - great idea. Your desk looks very organised to me but as you are so busy it needs to be.
signing up to your blog - I need to look at someone like you.
Considering how busy you've been that's actually not to messy really is it? I really need to do something along those lines for a light box, my photos are always subject to the weather or lighting conditions.

Fantastic space! So many goodies and so crafty! Yeah!
Wonderful space! TFS Kim #82
terrific space - good on you for putting things back so quickly after a class. When I take out a large number of supplies it takes forever to get them back in the rightful place. Sheena #99
Its a wonderful creative space!
Love your light box - I always struggle to get good photos of my cards:( Love your space - it looks productive. Elizabeth #51
My ink pad holder is a wine label holder I picked up at a garage sale years ago for $2.
My hubby built the shelves on the wall because I didn't have anywhere else to go but up! They hold about 100 stamp sets.
Thanks for looking!
Terry
What a lovely crafting space. Love your Christmas cards. Your SU ink pad holder is devine, is it handmade. Can you get one for Distress Inks, I have more of them. Thanks for the peek. Love and Hugs. Jo.xxx~88
LOVE your inkpad storage... and all those punches... mmm, I have seriously gone green ROFL
A very resourceful way to make a photo box!
I'm so impressed with your punch collection, every time I see it I drool over it :-)

What a fab idea, your light box - I'm just getting into photography and get frustrated at lack of light - your box is great. Also your desk crammed with all your ink pads and stash - exciting to have a nose :-)
I love it. A big mess means something's going on! Happy WOYWW!
Very fancy storage for your SU inks...I am impressed! And your array of stamps is very exciting.
Thanks for sharing your workdesk with me.
Love

such a fabulous workspace! Love the storage you have for your inks! TFS! Hugs Juls
I think I have a serious case of punch envy coming on... how many do you have??? Love the light box idea, may just snaffle that and make one! Annette #4
You know what...Love your attitude - you DO have a bunch of cool stuff to play with! Great Post!
Terry, you have a boatload of stamp pads and PUNCHES. More punches than I've seen at my scrapbook store. I don't think your light box is cheesy, I think it's BRILLIANT. Sorry I'm late getting here, but I'm taking it slow and sure this week (#15).
ooh , I loved looking at yoru stamps, thanks,
Dx
WOW! I love your space. I am so jealous of all the SU! stash you own, what a lucky lucky lady!! :)
If that light box works for you then don't worry about it being cheesy. It obviously takes photos of your card beautifully!!

What a lot of gorgeous stuff you have to play with and so beautifully organised. I'm very envious.
Love the light box idea too.
