What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday!

Yay... I finally have something on my work desk that is scrapping... rather than organising and building towards the scrap room.  Its a box and I have to make a mini book to go inside yet... its a gift for someone so I will show you the finished product later.
Still tweaking the room, managed to find some chairs, one for my computer desk and four for the big table for visitors which were only $20 each in Walmart.  I have a few friends (and friends of friends) that are waiting for the finish and can come and have fun in the basement with me!!
I also spotted the cutest clock... perfect for a scrap room wall, don't you think?  At the moment it is balanced on the magazine rack but Chris is going to put it on the wall for me this weekend.


We went to Ikea on Sunday morning for their $1 breakfast... at that price there is no way I am standing at the stove and making pancakes from scratch!!  Whilst there we poked about in the 'as is' section to see what bargains to be found and I saw this pile of black back splash acrylic things which I think are for kitchens and the light bulb in my brain lit up!! I bought four of them and they are perfect for the big table...
I am not sure they will replace cutting mats but it does look nice!

This is a great idea, just need to sit and fill up all the containers with my brads and stuff!
This is a great space saver too... I have tons of little bits for the mini books and now they are all in once place for me to spin and locate!
Thank you for dropping by, if you are wondering what the 'what's on your work desk Wednesday' is all about then please drop in on Julia, our worthy leader of the WOYWWs and you will find a huge list of desks to have a nosey about on!!

    Oh I am so greened eyed with envy...had to check out all the progress posts after reading this one! A couple of questions if you dont mind? What size door did you add on top of the IKEA expedits? I have been wanting to do this for a long time. Also, how did you attach the door to the shelves? What a wonderful room!

    It's good to see your craft room evolving and the organization supplies you have gathered to make it happen. Nice box and start of the mini book, too. I would be glad to come and craft with you. Your place looks SO inviting. Just know that although I was late getting here this week, I would not miss your room updates for anything. Happy belated WOYWW.
