I took my photos yesterday afternoon, as my craft room is always quite dark in the morning. I spent the morning having a proper spring clean - polished my main desk as well. It has never looked this clean since Mr M built it last year!
And a close up of my finished embossing sample thingy. It looks better in real life:
Side desk, would you believe a little more colouring practice. Some hair styles are too difficult for me to shade correctly, but I like this one ...
I have plenty of ATCs to exchange. Many will be exchanged at the Crop, but if you want to exchange and you are not going to the Crop, please can you email me your postal address, and I will put yours in the post. Use the email gadget in the right hand side bar of my blog.
Have a lovely, crafty week. Please leave a comment so I know you stopped by, Heather xx

Cor Blimey! You have made a lovely job of your cleaning up for your desk - any spare time to pop over to do mine? Seriously, it looks lovely and everything is so tidy and in its own place. The embossing samply thing has turned out really well, you must be pleased with it. Similarly with your colouring which is so very much better than mine - have a word with Shaz at the Crop, she is good (excellent) with colouring with pencils and such a great teacher too. We can all always improve on things and I need you and Shaz to show me the right way. OK I must remember pencils and images!

Hi Heather, you’re coming along in leaps and bound and also marking your spot as one of tidy WOYYWers, not something I shall ever claim, my mats aren’t ckean as that even when cleaned thing eight years pf ink on TH ink mat might have something to do with it. You’ve also put an email me link on sidebar, I note, well done indeedy!
Yes your “Emboss” book is really impressive I love that cover .. very arty and simply to the point. Will be very handy. Need to do that too.
Love hair practise too, you’re doing a tricky one well... so pleased to have met you last year, Heather.

I always love a tidy desk, Heather, and this one spoke to me. Your Emboss folder is beautiful. I would love to see inside. I think those hair styles are great, but I don't color anything as a rule. Happy 10th from # 4.
Wow, you did polish up for today's anniversary! That's the cleanest desk I've seen today but polishing is going a bit far... lol!! Looking forward to seeing you at the Crop.
Happy 10th WOYWW!

Hi Heather, love that folder! I may be copying that idea. :) Love the colouring of the Gorjuss girl, I always struggle with ahir too. See you next week, Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #7 X
I should have had an anniversary clean-up too! Can't be bothered LOL! I've found your address from last year (hope you haven't moved)! Have you still got mine? If not I'll email it to you. What do you know - I have a week off work next week as well (it's half term at my son's school) - hope you enjoy your break! Happy anniversary! zsuzsa #26
I love that emboss sample folder - it's not only fab to look at but it's a great idea too. I also love your tidy and organised shelving - it looks so stylish, but I think I've said that before. I've emailed you to see if you still want to swap, hope you get it as I've had trouble in the past using the side bar on some blogs.
Happy 10th Anniversary,

Beautiful desk area and shelving! Very nice. Have fun at the crop and happy WOYWW 10 year anniversary! Dorlene #39
happy 10th WOYWW to you! What a wonderful creative desk you have ... even tidy I can see it is a hive of activity! My ATC's are already with Shaz & Doug who are bringing them along to the crop for me and Julia is playing ATC monitor so do please take one if you would like one ... absolutely no swap back is expected but if you do have any left over at the end of the day then I would love one. Debbie #25 xXx
I'm really late as I was forced to go out with friends today to drink coffee and eat scones.... I could hardly say no! but it has made me late getting round. Loving the little ladies they are so sweet. I'd love to swap with you and will send you my address when I've done here. Wishing you a lovely woyww and a happy creative week with hugs, Angela x19X
What a lovely tidy desk!! I'm still trawling through everyone, not enough hours in the day right now! Happy 10th Anniversary, Cindy #44

HI Heather ooh that is a cool idea to have a sample book of textures :) Love that rainbow of hair you are doing too. that is so hard to figure out where to do the highlights on hair ( to me, right up there with folds in clothes) :) I much prefer coloring flowers and such haha. Happy Anniversary, ~Stacy #35
Happy 10th WOYWW birthday Heather. You can come round and have a go at my desk any time lol. Love the colouring and the cover of that embossing book. See you again soon. Sarah #3
Hello Heather, you have an amazingly organised desk and I think we all have a bit of desk envy. I will email you my address, unfortunately I won't be going to the crop as I am in Australia. Hope you don't mind?

Oooh, the Woyww-list is quite long in this anniversary-week, so I am still making my rounds... I love your clean desk, should do some cleaning in my atelier too but I keep on postponing it. Always an excuse... like "today is Sunday", ha! Hope you enjoy your day. Happy late-woyww-anniversary, hug from Holland. Marit
Hi Heather - Sorry to be so late commenting, blogger wasn't playing for me!! Happy 10th anniversary! Your desk looks amazing. Fancy doing any housework here in North Wales??
Take care. God bless.

What a gorgeous desk, Heather, and doesn't it look tidy and organised! I love your "emboss" album and hope to see inside it. Thank you for your visit and your good wishes for my hubby's birthday and also for my benefit application. I'm slowly completing the form in draft and hope to get it checked over by someone next week before submitting it. It has to be in by 10th June. My hubby really did love his card! He said I'd captured his dream exactly!
Happy belated 10th anniversary WOYWW,
Shoshi #15
Sorry I’m so late Heather, it’s ridiculous I know! love the sight of your becalmed and cleaned desk..am always staggered by how dusty mine gets, and since hE started the building work, I’m sort of living with it. Much easier but nowhere near as good to look at! I do admire your colouring practices, those gals have super hair! see you at the weekend! X
I love the Santoro images. I have a few of the girls and want more LOL. I keep seeing the shelves above your desk and think, I really should have done that for the studio.. but that would have meant giving up a window. I was determined to have LOTS of natural light LOL But I still long for the storage. Creative Blessings! Kelly #35
