That's my spin take on it anyway. Maybe it's a bit OCD ... you be the judge.
Let's just collect as much reusable card as you possibly can, you know, from packaging, etc ... see top left hand in pic, which is just the tip of the iceberg. And save it all in recycled (naturally), cereal boxes, and when there is so much of it you are in fear of being swamped get out your trusty Cuttlebug and start cutting out ... very therapeutic ...
It does take a while to whittle down that collected pile, but it sure feels good when you do!
If that doesn't excite you, maybe yesterday's retail therapy will ...
Why am I showing you random photos of stuff on my workdesk?
All will be revealed by Julia who doesn't actually have a real workdesk today but still we all love to visit her on Wednesday, photo or not, just to find out what is happening in her little corner of the world.
Catch you soon.

Hi RosA!! Thank you for being my first visitor on my blog today and for your lovely comment :-). I love the dies that you have, I am slowly building up mine and I have been having soooo much fun with the Cuttlbug hehe! Isn't art/craft retail therapy the best! I am so hooked on stencils and I love the one that you got and I have the same washi tape stamp!! Have a great week and happy WOYWW.

Yummy retail therapy you have there. Love your cuttlebug, it looks poised to run its little handle off with that pile! #70
ReplyDeleteHi Rosa
ReplyDeleteI am loving the crafting stash on your desk some really lovely stuff that you will have hours of fun with.
Happy WOYWW have an enjoyable week hugs Ria #22
I saved a bunch of packaging one time after taking a class using recycled bits. After awhile it looked like a trash heap next to my desk. I only ever used such a little bit of it I decided to not do that anymore. Boxes do work well in lieu of chipboard I'll give you that. Your retail therapy looks like it was quite the successful trip.
ReplyDeleteWell done for using all your packaging, mine just piles up and up but i will turn it into something one day!!
ReplyDeleteYour retail therapy looks great, have fun playing with it all.

ReplyDeleteHi RosA,
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love your cuttlebug! I'm so happy that I bought mine - although I need to use it more.
The stencil from your "therapy" looks really fun.
Happy WOYWW

You are covering all the bases, Ros, between your recycling old and buying new!! I can only imagine all the goodies you have there - we could hold a WOYWW workshop at your place and no one would have to bring anything! Happy Belated WOYWW and thanks for the visit to my place! Have a wonderful week!! Darnell #57
ReplyDeleteNice collection of goodies on your bench. I can't believe you are going to cut up all that stash. The new die I bought is from memory box and I wonder now if you have it? See you on Wednesday.
