My desk has been completely clear for two days, but not now. It is now full from end to end, but at least it is fairly productive. I have had a play with stamping and brayering - I will show you that one when I have finished. Now you can see my beautiful Silhouette Cameo in pride of place, linked up to the computer. So far I have done some fairly intricate flourishes, ready for a card for later in the month. At the moment, they are tucked under a pile of paper to flatten them out before I try to mount them. Once I have peeled them very slowly off the highly sticky mat, they do seem to have a life of their own for a while. Hopefully by tomorrow, they will have relaxed enough to work with. They are just so pretty and delicate and there is no way on this earth I could cut those by hand.
As it is now well after midnight on Wednesday, I am off to bed, but I hope to get round to see as many of you as possible when I get up again. I am sure you will enjoy all the other desks on show this week at Julia's Castle. Look forward to seeing you all. Have a good week.

Hi, What a tidy desk today, the cameo deserves pride of place it's a great tool. If you take the shapes of using one of the lift spatulas the paper doesn't curl. Have a great Wednesday, Laura

Oh, those flourishes are so beautiful. Don't mention gems - and brads - they fly everywhere - will swear they have wings.
Thanks so much for sharing - Hugs, Neet 195 (very late this week)xx
looking good - I am scared my hoover will blow up soon - the things I suck up! Love those die-cuts...Thanks for letting us look in and peek at your desk... Sarah at 7
Love those flourishes on a very tidy desk! I know just what you mean about those gems etc- must be a great big mountain of them somewhere. Anne x
Those flourishes do look way to intricate to cut by hand, Maggiek, but they are beautiful. Disappearing gems are a mystery in here too ... however, if they did turn up I'm sure they would have cat hairs stuck to them :) Good luck with those snippets. Hope you have a good weekend. Elizabeth x #2
Thanks for sharing your lovely tidy desk.
