What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?

Hi and welcome snoopers to my desk this fine Wednesday....yes we share photos of our desks and if you're wanting to know more please pop over to our fine leader Julias blog and see that there are some 100+ WOYWW#254 players.
This is my desk first thing this morning when I was sorting out cards to finish off...well I only got the pink and yellow one on the left finished - it's for the Card Chain challenge.  Also there a couple of stamps needing to be put away (I did actually stack away my pile that's been hanging around for a few weeks). There are folders in the nook with some click/clear stamps, a nook for all my pens and odd bits. On top my flower jars under the ribbons. My OTT light in the middle. On the right shelf are my ink trays with my sprays and powders in front. Far left my container of finished cards on top of the printer.
Now a few hours later after browsing my blog readers list and discovering that Virginias Views challenge is closing in 2 days, I figured I'd better try something.

Not having any bought stencils, earlier I had a go at cutting one by hand (blue transparency) and wondered what spraying my shine colour mist on black might do - it's silvery. Then out came the inference powders and ended up using versamark over the stencil again to get the powder to stick....so it looks a bit like autumn leaves. It's great having the big artist pad underneath - catches all the mess and tryouts.
Excitement at our place too as our kids and the grand daughter are making the trip down for Easter, so I have to rearrange my craft room to fit in a mattress...yippee, Sophie's coming for cuddles.
Well I'd better post this and go visit a few desks before I have to leave and make dinner, Happy Easter to you all, and thanks for taking a peek Robyn

    hello Robyn that is so clever of you and the card is super. We are having a quiet Easter this year as both sons and families are going away to seaside. However they are all coming here for the weekend of the 30th April to help DH celebrate his 70th birthday. We have had to change plans a bit due to loss of son's F.I.L. and my knee. I will need to convert dining room back into dining room instead of being my craft room :-)
    Have a lovely Easter with your family. Hugs Anne x #51

    Oh Roby what lovely bits you have happening on your desk, I ike the idea of cutting your own stencils. Might have a go at that.
    Thanks for visiting earlier, I was told by my friend that she was 25 again so that is what the card shows.

    Thanks for the peek, Robin, and for stopping by my space earlier. Lots of nice items on your desk. I never thought of cutting my own stencils.
    Why didn't I ever think of it? Happy Easter to you. #79

    Hi Robyn
    thanks for the well wishes. So glad you are Ok down there too. Its weird as even though Ita was a cat2 as she passed it it was far more windy here then ones we had in NT. I don't know if its because we are high up on the tablelands here maybe. The generator was a awesome to have indeed. Your cards are gorgeous Robyn...I love the post cards below too. Me I'm off to do yet more washing and maybe I'll get to do art tonight and then some jewellery making tomorrow at last!
    hugs
    Annette xxxx
