WOYWW - Utter Chaos!

Lately I haven't been inspired to create anything....and it's because my workspace is super messy...

But I love this linky party, What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday!

I'm pretty sure, the pictures I am about to show are not what

the intention of this party is!

My workspace has become a dumping ground and more projects stacking up

and it's become a little overwhelming...



I've got a couple of recent purchases here..and I don't want to put them away because I'll forget to use them...

I got this cute owl Oak Hill Vintage

with the thought of spray painting it...but now I'm not sure if I should...what do you think?



I bought this lot of distress stains off eBay - I just need to take the packaging off and put them away...

but here they sit...

And then I started working on a ribbon flower and then my sewing machine died...

kind of bummed about that...so looking for a cheap sewing machine...

and this project is on hold...probably should put this away for now....

On the left side of my workspace is where things really pile up quickly....

And more projects just waiting to be started, finished...every stage of a project is here....



More purchases piling up...then I decided to join a club called Birchbox. It's a monthly package of sample size beauty and lifestyle products...not very impressed with the first one I received...probably give this to my daughter....



And last but not least on my workspace..I made a wedding card and our cat, Charlie, climbed up on the table and chewed up the envelope...

he is the only cat of ours that chews on things...

thankfully he didn't chew up the card...

Tomorrow I am off work at noon and I'll be coming home (after a pedicure) to

get my dumping ground all cleaned up...

so I can get inspired and start working on all of my projects...

Thanks for stopping by...

please leave a comment and let me know if I should spray paint that owl or leave it as it is....

Tomorrow - another giveaway from one of my sponsors...Isaboo Designs
