woyww # 92 - paper, ink and more

 It's time for woyww once again and I do have a few things to show you.  If you came from Julia's list you know what I am talking about. If you didn't then you need to pop over there to see what this is all about.
First,  I have been cleaning up my inks, pens and misc wall. Next week I'll  tackle paints and mediums.
The problem with having a large space is that while cleaning I always get distracted by the fun stuff and end up making a bigger mess,  instead of cleaning up the original mess....this problem keep multiplying until I can't move anymore and I end up on the dining room table.  My goal is to have the whole room clean at one time so I can show you the whole space. I would show you now ....but I really don't want to win an award for most clutter.


Second,  I have been making journals and gathered some paper and fabric on the dining room table ....because ... of course there's no room to work in the craft room.


And last,  The big project this week..... I have the boxes for my giveaway lined up and almost full. I have a few surprise gifts to put into each on then they will be sealed and ready for my giveaway drawing  this weekend.

and here's the database I am using to keep track of the entries.  It's actually five giveaways in one, and the way I am allowing the players to choose where their entries go takes a bit of organization.
Everyone gets three chances and can play them any way they want. So far I have 35 players, so that's 105 entries.  I am having fun with this.    There's still time to enter. Check out Life at RuffHaven to see if you might be interested in any of the goodies. Now off you go to see what everyone else has on their work space this week.

You have so many inkpads... though if I sorted mine like that (if I had the space, lol) I may get somewhere close... Your giveaway sounds great but very complicated!

Holy moly. I live in a 800 square foot condo -- I bet I could fit it in your craft room! I'm soooo jealous.

Let's see, I could convert my bedroom into my craft room and sleep on the hideabed downstairs.... hmmmm.
