Well it's Wednesday again! My desk is still a mess, I could make excuses, (have had a horrible cold, time's flown by again, been too busy) but I won't. All of those are true but I could have found time to tidy if I had wanted to, I just couldn't be bothered!And the only things I have made this week is a birthday card for my sis and an anniversary card for my hubbie and the charm that is still on my desk! Not a very productive week at all!
The box on my desk is another carboot find (you must think I spend all my time at carboots but you would be wrong! I suffer from agrophobia and I don't go out very often, during the last 10 months I have been out about 30 times which is LOADS for me, I have been lucky that my 5 visits to the carboot have been very rewarding finding brilliant stuff everytime!)
Anyway the box has been lined with Tim Holtz papers and the top has Tensecond studio metal on it and is filled with lots of 'bits' (Tim's and other things like Mica, keys, wire, cork and lots of other things) which I sometimes have trouble using cos I like them! Does everyone have trouble using the pretty little things you buy/find? Or is it just me?
A closer look in the box!
The lid of the box. A collage of different plates from Tensecond studio and Sizzix and the centre is a stamp.
The finished piece. A book plate with paper and acetate, corner, flower brad, jump rings, beads and a key all attached together with glossy accents.

That box is just FAB. I can never get to car boots (always seem to be in out of the way places, and I don't have a car!) so well done you. I love your desk.
Have a good day. (38)
Well done you on getting out - I know it isn't easy, don't go out much myself. What a great find that box was, and what a yummy hoard of Tim Holtz goodies! My trouble is that they're so expensive that I just hoard them away .... but never actually USE them!! (71)
Now that's what I call a proper artistic desk!
Full of bottles of cretive gorgeous-ness!
Hope your cold is better
Love the book plate
Happy WOYWW

What a wonderful find. Your desk certainly looks a hive of activitiy. I'm a newbie to the WOYWW so please be gentle with me!! Best wishes, Kym (No 42)
Love those shelves with all your small crafty things on them. The box is fab and yep I hear ya about using the pretty stuff - hard to do that innit!
I like a busy desk - so don't get too tidy. Great box love to car boot too - hope you get to some more good ones.
Great charm too!

Just love that box and all the goodies in side you must have been as pleased as punch when you found it.
Hugs Shirley x
Oh that box is so lovely - you've done really such a great conversion to it too, you must be so pleased. And it's a double whammy if you actually made it out to get the box in the first place - good for you. I have trouble using the nice stuff - but just for a while, then I get over it and become all business-like and get on with it!! A while...anything up to a year!!
