WOYWW #190

A Wednesday Wello!!

One of the gals at work has had an emergency to do with her mom, so I'm off to help out.  I couldn't leave without linking a picture of my desk to share at the famous and fab Julia's What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday (WOYWW).

So here ya go then.

 

It's prolly too far away to see much, but I had to take a long shot or you wouldn't believe it.  In the long shot forefront you can see a card that you'll never see in a short shot because it looks like something I might have found in a cardboard box of keepsakes my mother saved from when I was five years old, cept I didn't never have that kind of mother and even if I had had, we certainly never had room for any cardboard boxes full of keepsakes from seven children.  Whaddayou, nuts?

Sorry I digested.  The truth is, I was making a card for a challenge using a new embossing technique and that went okay until I tried getting jiggy with washi tape, which I am new at using, and which turned my perfectly good card into a disaster. 

 

Turns out, no one told me some washi tapes don't pull right off.  Turns out, they sometimes take part of your card stock with them, so then you put the washi tape back where it was, which is stupid because if you liked it there, you never would have lifted it off and wrecked your card.  Then, after that, you put on more washi tape because everyone knows that if you don't like something on your card, putting on more of it will make it better.  Then, after that, you start taping up the sides of your card and by now it turns out, it's thirsty work.

Even after all that, you're still not sure this is my desk, are you?  Some of you who have been regularly stopping by the Playhouse for the better part of a year might be cocking your ear down to your shoulder, wondering if I photoshopped this picture.  That can't possibly be neatfreak Darnell's desk, you cry!   Wait.  Look there.  Yes, it looks ... yes, there's the large vodka ... yes, there's the large dish of chocolates ... yes, and yes, but the mess, oh my word, has she gone insane-er?

 

(BTW, did you know that you cock your ear over your right or left shoulder depending on whether or not you are right- or left-handed?  Uh-huh.  Unless you're a cocker spaniel.  Hence the name!)

So, yeah, that's my desk.  And just so you know it's really me, Mister took my pister:

 

 

As much as I love making cards for VD Valentine's Day, I will be cleaning off my desk after work so these hives can go away.  I have new admiration for those of you who can master creativity in the midst of chaos.  And you also have excellent eyesight.  I found that I couldn't, quite litterly, find things that were smack in front of my nose!  Nothing to do with the vodka.

Enjoy your day and your WOYWW tour!   No, seriously, enjoy your day.   LITS*!

As usual, I'll visit as many WOYWWers as I can, even if it takes me all week, and if you visit me first, I'll be sure and return the flavor!  Thank you so much for stopping by to visit the Playhouse.   Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!
