The Paper Crafter's Desk Says It All
November 13, 2014
Wow...I had every intention of posting a pretty project today but it's just not going to happen. Lot's of "detours', a few aches and pains of this 50- something year old, and a surprise "honey, you want to go out to dinner call?" ...( Love that man!)... contributed to a "no project to post" day.
What I do have is a picture of my messy but productive-looking desk after a day of recording project tutorials for a special online class. It's typical of what my desk looks like most of the time. That's not true...it's usually much worse. ;)
My Messy Desk
While it's a place of hard work, it's also a place of comfort...a place where I do what I love to do.
But for now, I'm in my recliner with a Hallmark movie on the screen, loving life, and feeling blessed.
See you again soon with another pretty paper crafting project from my messy desk.
