WOYWW #270
I think it's exactly 20 weeks since I was last here for WOYWW. "And what's on your workdesk?" I hear you say. Well, nothing actually. I have exactly nil projects in progress at the moment (other than the ones that have been sat in a box for months, because we all have a box like that, right?)
I have been sorting my supplies though. In an attempt to reduce my stash by about 2/3rds so that it reflects what I actually use and fits into the space that I actually have, I have been purging big time. Stamps are one of the items to be hit hard. Here's the current status of cling and clear stamps.
Basically, I kept every stamp that ever came my way, whether I used it or not and that was a situation that could not continue. All of the foam backed ones that I never use are gone along with loads of those free ones off the front of magazines.
I think there are more that can go, but at least they are (nearly) all on the shelves.
I found this really cute set of chicken wire shelves for my Distress Stains and Paints. They are full, so no room for any more, well i could probably squeeze in a couple.
Before you consider me a paragon of virtue and remove my name from the list of messiest desks, I have to admit that my paper supplies still look like this.
So a bit more work to do there! Happy Wednesday.

Your last photo really made me smile - at least I'm not the only one who has piles (if you know what I mean! :D Not those ones!)

Brusho is a paint that comes in crystal form - highly pigmented and reacts with water on the cardstock like the samples on my desk.

Girl, I don't envy you, but I do admire how much you have accomplished! You get full credit for all of it. It's a ton of work and hard going when you're in the middle of it, but it feels so much freer and lighter to get rid of stuff you aren't using!
Thank you for coming by to see me! Happy WOYWW and have a terrific week! Hugs, Darnell #18
And thanks for visiting earlier.
Hope you are soon all sorted and can enjoy your crafting.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW

Thanks for visiting. You ask where I sell the things for Uganda. Our church supports a pastor in Uganda who has responsibility for around 1500 children and 50 churches ( so he's very busy!!!). We have a table in the church where all the information is kept regarding Parental Care Ministries - and on that table go hand knitted goods, some cards, blankets, bags for the children etc. Donations are requested for everything. We also have a weekly Thursday lunchtime café to which we get MANY folk - and they frequently buy the goods on the table. Do feel free to email me if you need any more info.
Take care. God bless.

On the other hand reducing stash now that does scare me, I would be frightened of getting rid of something and then finding I needed it. You are one brave lady.
Have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x #38
Like you, I've been away from woyww for quite a few months, nice to snoop again
