WOYWW #556- The No Enabling Edition.

Not a single enable in sight this week, for which everyone joining in with Whats on your Workdesk Wednesday will be breathing a sigh of relief!😃As always, linking up at Julias place, The Stamping Ground for this weeks deskfest.
 For a change, there is evidence of crafting. Well,I will be crafting later, just collecting stuff I want to use ready. This fortnights Christmas Card Club challenge is due on Sunday, and the theme for this one is Stars. So out have come all my star dies, and a pack of star covered vellum that's positively ancient.
I do have ideas, and plans, will just be interesting to see if what's in my head translates to cards.
 Lavinia released some new stamps on Monday, so normal Enabling will resume next week.😀 Then of course it will be Valentines card making, and eventually I will get around to the MINC machine. Speaking of dies, I did get around to moving them from their box, which was getting ridiculously full, into the Hobbycraft trolley I bought.
This is why I was so pleased it turned out to be a smaller version of the one I already had- it fits perfectly under the desk I use for die cutting. And not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, there is now a load of room in it, and I even have all my Christmas dies & Embossing Folders on the middle shelf- the bottom one is completely empty.
And so that rounds off this weeks desk, bringing us as always to ......And Finally.........
This really made me laugh!Possibly because there is a lot of truth in it. 😁

Sarah Brennan said...

Don't worry Shaz, I have done some enabling instead this week lol. I love my trolley too. It sits under the desk beside me and holds all my liquid inks, pens and word stickers. Can't wait to see what you do with all the stars! Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2

How fortunate to have the new little trolley work like magic Haven't seen the small ones around. But not many places here to shop either. I pretty much order all online lately. WINTER driving not for me. Love the T shirt. My son once told an old guy making wise cracks "you really don't want to mess with my mom" Enjoy a good week.

Morning Shaz, there's plenty of enabling today it's just waiting for the postie to deliver it hee hee! I'm sure it will be a bountiful sight when it arrives. There's far too many nice things due for release and to tempt me this year.
Good to see your ready to roll with those star dies look forward to seeing what you create with them.
Your trolley does fit perfectly under the desk and how handy that it came with a spare tray to keep your 2020 purchases in.. It's as if it was meant to be!! Hee hee.. Happy crafting Shaz & thanks for sharing WoywW Hugs Tracey xx

Well the trolley must be a marvel then, I am delighted that it’s up to holding the weight, seriously your die collection must be really heavy, my non-Christmas collection are squashed into one of those pocket folders with magnetic leaves and it’s really cumbersome to cart about, well, even to lift off its shelf really! I shall be eager to see if the ancient vellum stands up to your ideas, my word it’s an age since I used printed vellum!

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Don't know how you managed that to have some spare space! and you know that could be seriously bad news for your wallet as space needs filling Lol! Love the T-Shirt!!! Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x15x

Annie said...

That's one very handy trolley but I guess even that will have a limit to what it will hold.
Love the t shirt....I maybe need 6 of them :-)
Hugs,

Neet said...

What a fabulous t-shirt!
You are still enabling us by the sheer mention that Lavinia has new stamps out. Not sure I can afford many of them as I find them a tad expensive but it is always a delight to look at them all.
How lucky were you to find that the trolley you bought was smaller than the one you anticipated. Perfect for under the desk storage and so easy to wheel out. I just wish I had a bigger room and could get more underneath my desk.
Looking forward to seeing all those stars in use.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx

Love the cussing grandma shirt, good old grandmas to outfox Google! 😉😆😁😊
Now that really must be some magic trolley Tardis like to have a spare shelf!

But not getting one thiguth does sound very tempting.
I need to reorganise one lot of dies box, spellbinder share fine it’s the branded ones box that needs revamping its bursting.
Also my EF need rearranging have bigger box, spare from paper sort, just need to redo arrangement of shelf it’s on blew cutting station.
All in goood time this is my tidy up and find what you have year!

That's an enviably well-organised-looking space - so satisfying! Thank you for the chuckle the 'And Finally' T-shirt gave me - I aspire to be a grandma just like that one day!

I love the fact that the trolley fits so beautifully under the counter, that's satisfying! How fab that you're going to use up some old stash for the CC challenge, that vellum is lovely! And the t-shirt made me laugh, I think you are that granny!!!

Hi Shaz, those carts are seriously useful - so glad I bought them based on your recommendation! Just the right size to go under desks or into narrow spaces. Happy card making and thanks for your visit earlier! xx zsuzsa #18

Stacy Sheldon said...

oh my gosh, that kids tee shirt had me rolling on the floor. :) tears are leaking...

the extra space is such a blessing, ( you know good and darn well some smarty pants will come up with something you have to have sooner or later ) hence, only look at mine with one eye open as I did have a tiny little bit of die enabling going on in the middle of the mess.

Elizabeth said...

Hi Shaz, thanks for the timely reminder for Sunday's CCC theme - I'll get on to it just as soon as I feel up to it! I do like your little trolley for storing dies - I have mine stored all over the place so I need one of those trolleys. Not that your enabling this week!!! Love that t-shirt 😃 Have a lovely week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #19

Lindart said...

Uh Oh...an empty drawer? Well we can't have that can we? I sure it will fill up soon! I will have to go and check out the new Lavinia stamps! I got 4 for Christmas and love them! I look forward to seeing what you do with the stars! Thanks for your lovely visit, Lindart #23

Shoshi said...

What a brilliant star-spangled edition, Shaz. Love all your starry dies. As for the new trolley, what a find, and lots of room for storage! I am getting pretty dissatisfied with my stamp and die storage these days and need a radical overhaul, I think. Not sure of the best way forward at the moment.

Hope you are OK.

Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi x #16
