What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?

 Good afternoon fellow WOYWW-ers from stinking hot Gladstone in Australia....had lots of menacing clouds this week and an almighty storm last night so now with the sun out and temps of 39C or 95F it isn't half humid. Worse storms though in Brisbane with golf  ball size hailstone causing millions of dollars damage.
..in my opinion!So here is my desk today with little piles of tools and debris about. I have been making a gift box for a special person...that yellow box with the white lid is my prototype and to the right my mostly finished box.  Just trying to decide on a decoration for the top, that's why there is a pile of punches on the left and dies and scissors on my workpad. Also in the middle resting against my caddy is my final tag for Tim H's 12 tags of 2014 - I'm quite pleased that I actually played along each month.
If you'd like to visit other WOYWW 288 desks, please pop over to Julias blog here and read all about it and join in the fun.  A big thank you to everyone who visited my desk last week and left encouraging comments.
 Have a fabulous week Cheers Robyn

    Oh that box is gorgeous Robyn, lovely lovely choice of papers. Am so glad you weren't in the line of the hail storm, it was reported on our national news, so must have been extra ordinary.

    I'm supervising the munchkins playing happily with their Lego so grabbing a few minutes to do a dash round some of my favourite blogs.
    I really love your box...clever you. So glad to hear you're safe from the weather.
    Hugs,

    Gosh, I don't think I could take that heat! The "miserable" British weather suits me fine - as long as I can stay indoors when it rains, LOL! Love your crafty little corner there! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa @ InkDinkyDoodle #40

    Beautiful box! Whoever gets that will love it, gorgeous choice of papers!
    I don't want to know about your heat, lol, it's very cold over here at the moment. We heard from our friends in Brisbane about the storm, they didn't have too much damage....
    Hugs, LLJ 21 xx

    Hi Robyn
    It must be really hard to get into the Christmas spirit in those temperatures. Your box is gorgeous.

    Your box looks awesome, lovely patterns!
    It seems strange that you have summer right now and we are freezing :-) The idea of sitting at the beach on Christmas is somehow nice but strange for us that are used to snow in december.
    Cheers

    Gosh, that's pretty hot! Temperatures are below zero here!
    That gift box is gorgeous. I'm sure she/he will like it a lot.
    I wish you would have done a close up of your TH tag as it was difficult to see, but the colors look great.
    Thanks for stopping by at my page earlier.
    Have a great week

    Hi Robyn,
    That box is lovely! Great papers!
    Weather pretty much the same down here, overcast and muggy, expecting more storms, sigh.

    Your little box is so beautiful. That pattern is gorgeous. The weather has been awful and so humid. We've had big storms each day here in Bris so I've not been able to comment, I'm still on a plug in computer. Thankfully the storm last night has killed off the humidity here, hope it's better for you up there. Have a wonderful Christmas.
