What's on My Workdesk Wednesday

Morning folks....time to join in with the fun over at WOYWW....and share what's on my workdesk this dismal rainy Wednesday morning.   I am having a bit of a tidy up day and it's confession time folks...these new goodies have been sitting on my desk since last week....basically they are homeless...there is no room at the inn....nowhere for them to go...


because the file folders I use to store my acrylic and cling stamps are fill to bursting....


will they be joining the pile of unfiled stamps which have been sitting in the corner since Christmas.....oh no I finally got some new folders...50p from Tesco and some punched pockets.....so today is going to be a file-a-thon kind of a day.  Why have I suddenly decided to do this in the middle of a mega craft week....well to let you into a little secret....I am a bit of a tidy freak....a place for everything and everything in it's place...my music CD's are stored alphabetically and woe betide anyone who replaces one in the wrong place.....my clothes in the wardrobe are all hung in colour sections....so these homeless stamps were driving  me round the twist.

Once they are all filed away.....I can find the stamp I want at a moment's notice all neat and tidy in their own plastic pocket

Wish I could do the same with my wood mounted stamps.....my Costco trolley with 10 drawers is filled to the brim and finding a particular stamp in here....is a bit of a marathon....


big background and Stampin Up sets have spilled over into here
 and the Christmas stamps
I am wondering about storing all my wood stamps in 12 x 12 clear scrapbooking paper boxes in a single layer perfect with their see through lids....instead of being piled 3 high in these RUBs...but that's a job to think about another day.....in the meantime it's kettle on and get the acrylics sorted out because...and one more confession....I have a feeling there may be some new residents arriving soon....oh I know...I am very naughty....no willpower and just can't resist temptation.
But while I am busy stacking the cubbyhole to the rafters I have been clearing out lots of stuff in the house..you know the kind of stuff that you collect over the years (ornaments pictures bedding curtains) all that stuff that you never use but keep just in case.  Well it's all going... I am decluttering....going all minimalistic much to the amusement of my son.."saving me a job Mum...less to get rid of when you pop your clogs"... well I may just have the last laugh here.. little does he know the nightmare that faces him when he comes to sort out the cubbyhole...better leave him the number of a Skip Hire Company along with the will.
Catch up with you all tomorrow
