WOYWW 28th March 2012

Good grief... it can't be!!  Wednesday again?  Look what I found when I was out shopping yesterday?  I had to pick them up... love the packaging with all the doodling on it... almost an ideal snack for a scrappy person, don't you think?
This is my work desk at the moment... I making another of the Less Patient books with the drawers so that I can write a tutorial for it... it could take me a while!!
Sitting together on the sofa behind me are the cats... unusual for them to be up close and personal with each other so Pandy must have been feeling the chill and searched Tom-Tom for the heat!!  I know it is now officially spring and at home in Scotland they are enjoying a veritable heatwave... here in Calgary it is not so spring-like... had snow yesterday so obviously Mother Nature didn't get the memo about spring arriving...
I had a tidy up in the basement this week... and moved the furniture about a bit so both desks are next to each other now.
and my little lounge bit behind me now looks like this...
Here's the full on version... computer desk to the left, scrap room at the rear and lounge bit to the right.
If you are wondering why I am showing you my scrap space... pop over to Julia's to find out the details and the linky list of lovely crafty places to visit.

I've never seen the room in its entirety since you first moved into the empty space. Now I get a clearer view of it and idea of what it's like. BTW, I see Pandy peeking her head up in the last picture. Loved it.

And yes, I got your message and it is now gone.

What a wonderful space to work, and your kitties are precious!

What great packaging and I think I'd have been tempted too.
Your space looks great and every organised.
Pandy and Tom-tom looks like they've found a good spot.
Thanks for letting me take a peek :D

Wow Annette - what a wonderful open plan space for you to craft in. Looks like the whole footprint of my house would fit in that space.

Aaww the kitties look so cozy next to each other. don't blame them.

Hope your Spring gets to you soon!!

You look like one organized young lady. I see lots of toys to play with...how fun and the OMG's, I had to enlarge the photo to read all about them, they look very tasty! Very nice envelope tutorial. I think I may have to give it a try. Nice to have met you in blog land! See you again soon.

Neet said...

Not only great packaging but lovely contents too - try Golden Grahams, salted peanuts and (those stick like Pretzels - can't remember the name). Mix together and pour melted white chocolate over - let cool. Great pick and eat at parties.
Fabulous room you have down there. Wish I had something so huge - no up or down here in the bungalow.
Thanks for sharing am going back for another drool.
Hugs, Neet #5 x

What a great room, we don't have basements here (bummer). You could have fifty things on the go in there.

Poor you still with SNOW!! It's a good excuse to stay indoors and craft. It's a veritable rare March heatwave here. Your room looks wonderful, what a space, and the little nosey puss peeking from the sofa is so cute.
Thanks for visiting,

butlersabroad said...

Scotland eh? SO that's where all my warmth went! Good thing I like the Scots, otherwise I'd be over there demanding it back! Never hear of those OMG's, but the milk choccy ones look good (don't like dark), so that's a bag for you and a bag for me then?? Nice to see the rearranged room, but I hope you don't turn on that little red stove anytime soon!

Hugs

Julia Dunnit said...

Is it me or is this room getting bigger? No wonder you have the urge to rearrange every now and then!!
Am loving the OMGs, wouldn't take me long to inhale a bag of them! Hurry up with the tutorial then, I need urgently to download it and then procrastinate over trying it.

okienurse said...

Will have to look around for the OMG's first for the yummy goodness inside and second to repurpose the bag! Love the curious kitties pictures! It has decided to be spring here over night...interesting weather this year! Hope you have a great week! Thanks for sharing. Vickie #138

Wow - great room you've got. You could hold a convention in there!!
Love the sound of the OMGs - what a fab name, never heard of them before!
Great news you've got a cushion coming. I've actually made my first ever cushion cover in the union jack, am very pleased with it :)

OMG! Love that snack! You sound a bit like me - I am drawn to how something is packaged! hee hee

Thank you for you lovely words. For some reason I had a good cry this morning. I'm sure it'll strike at a moment's notice for some time.

I do love your craft space - which I had that much room!

Hugs,

Those snacks need to be over here LOL they look perfect for crafters.

Your craft space looks like the whole footprint of my house...but whereas your space is tidy you wouldn't want to see my mess.

Princess Judy Palmer said...

I like getting the full perspective of your room. It looks like a great place to play. I like the different organizers on your desk to hold different things within reach. I want to curl up and nap with the kitties! It looks warm and cozy.

MaggieC said...

What a fantastic space to work in, and so neat and tidy.I wouldn't facny chasing bees and wasp in there though, with all that space to hide in. Have a good week. xx Maggie #7

Shoshi said...

I love your bright creative space - gorgeous! - and it looks really organised too. Love your kitties!

Thanks for your comment on my blog. My desk is rarely as tidy as it is today... It always annoys me that it takes effort to tidy it, but it gets untidy all on its own lol!!

Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #12

pat said...

Your project sounds interesting; a book with drawers!!!??

Angie said...

What a brilliant space you have ...no wonder you are so inspired. Love that packaging ...but what are Graham crackers?? ..often wondered ... what is the nearest over here.

LuLu said...

Howdy and Happy WOYWW!

Would love for you to stop by my blog when you have a momnet or 2!

cannycrafter said...

Love those doodled packets! May inspire me to a layout!!! Great scrap space! Loads of room!!!

Morti said...

I love the idea of a food product being called OMGs! I wonder if someone will come up with something called a ROFL or a LOL? Hehehehe

I always love your craft space, it's very clean and light and inspiring, yet also quite cosy in its way.

And I had to ROFL at your "you say I'm a witch" sign on your desk.... love it....

Thanks for stopping by!

Sherry Edwards said...

"OMG" - your 'scrap space' would be my full time living in space - lol. What more could a crafty girl need!!

Laura said...

I think I, too, would've noticed the distinctive packaging of those snacks. It looks nice in your basement space. Happy Thursday from #151.

RosC said...

The rearrangement looks ab fab. I really love basements and yours looks wonderful. What a luxury to have such a comfy space to work, think, relax in. As you probably know, we don't have basements in Oz so when I lived in Vancouver, I had a reputation for exploring peoples' basements.
Cheerio,

Always love a nosey round your space, and boy what an awesome space it is, love the kitty pic, can't believe you have snow, that sucks.

Sorry i'm late, you know how it is!! Minxy #10

peggy aplSEEDS said...

oh my gosh, what a beautiful craft space. looking at all the neat spaces makes me want to stop this blog hopping and clean!!!

Elizabeth said...

Great post Annette, shame I'm so late popping in :( Enjoyed the tour of your craft room - it's fabulous. We don't, as a rule, have basements in Scotland. The house we had in Germany did have one and I had a craft room set up there but it wasn't nearly as comfy looking as yours :) Your cats look adorable and I love their names. Hope your weekend is going well. Elizabeth x #145

BumbleVee said...

the little hits of red in there sure make it snazzy ...

Katie said...

I love your big space to scrap in! I love that OMG bag, and my fiance just said he thinks that sounds so yummy!
