So I'm determined to make up for it this week :)
This is my desk yesterday morning - the first kind of mess...
... the dumping-ground kind :(
But here's my desk later that afternoon, the best kind...
... creative mess :)
I'm finally getting on with my ATCs ready for next week's fourth anniversary swap... and I'm proud to report, three are already made and drying. Hooray for me!!
And I'll leave you with pics of my late-birthday lilies - they smell divine *sigh*
Can't wait to see what you've been creating this week - more ATCs, I'm guessing...
... so I'm hopping over to Julia's Stamping Ground to find out!
Till next week xxx

Congrats on being # 1 this week. I missed you last week. I like your new blog banner, too.
Sadly, I can't see a whole lot of difference between the before and after shots (grin).
Happy WOYWW from #10.

No 1 this week, congrats. I like creative mess, and what beautiful flowers. Francesca #27
Hullo there,
A great creative space today! and cant beat creative mess - or those lilies watch those brown bits on them removal with disposable kitchen towel or tissue is suggested as they stain any clothing or cloth mat underneath them .. you may not mind but dont like that bit.. smell is fab!
Thanks so much for for sharing ~ happy WOYWW! Shaz in Oz.x #24
Lovely creative mess you have going there, and you are ahead of me... haven't finished any ATC's yet... still at the placing on paper stage!
Love the lillies, they always make me smile, though I remove the stamen bits before putting them anywhere... I have ruined too many tablecloths with the yellow dust that comes off them... Annette
I think I like the second kind of messy desk picture too! I always like the crafty goodness type. Hope the appointment went well. Do you have to do that very often? It would be exhaustive! Have a great week. Vickie #26
I love lilies they last for ages and they are just so pretty. Happy Birthday!! Oh you are going well to have 3 ATCs done already everyone is all so organised.. Putting me to shame. Will have to get onto that.

Thanks for the peek! Happy WOYWW. xx

Ooh, what lovely pics of lilies! I love the creative mess from the ATCs project. I wish I could have a dumping ground, I just have to clear away after every session. Now my daughter's home from art school and
wanting to share the room to do fitness work-outs in it too!!! xxx
Sooo silly - just realized I forgot to put my number on my comment! #58

I haven't ever thought about two types of mess and yes you are right the crafty is the best though looking good for next week

Hi Claire, The second shot of the desk is the best, when you know you have created something special. Love the flowers. If you would like to sway ATC next week let me know. #93
Hope the trip was successful, at least it's done and out of the way for another year. You really made up for missing last week, you got the top spot! Love the lilies, my favourite flower.
Hugs

There's something so satisfying about creative messes. What gorgeous lilies - I can almost smell they're lovely perfume. Deborah #141
Hi Claire! I just joined WOYWW! Now I get to go out and see new blogs. I LOVE your creative mess. That is the only way I can truly work. The lilies are beautiful. Happy Belated Birthday to you!
There is no finer mess than creative mess lol. Love the butterfly wings, stamp? I need to crack on with the ATC's too, I would like to do a swap
with you if you have enough, let me know. The lilies are beautiful but I think I must be the only one that thinks they smell awful lol
Happy art making
Hugs Lottie #132
Gorgeous flowers Claire. Fun work desk this week. So many fun things to play with. SueC#129
Glad your appointment is behind you. Your flowers are gorgeous. April #131
Just love all the lovely goodies on your desk. I've been away from the internet for so long I had forgotten about the ATC swap, so I'd better get making.
Have a great week.
Von #66
I've never made an ATC but I'm planning to before next week. I can't wait to see what you create. I wish I could peek beforehand so I'd have an idea what to do.
Hi Claire - love your Lillies - just beautiful... I love piles on my desk - doesnt happen very often though... Mxx Happy WOYWW Friday cheat - #169
Apologies for being so late visiting this week – life simply intervened! As it clearly did for you last week - hope you've well and truly recovered now. Your desk looks great, both before and after, with lots going on.
Have a great weekend. Elizabeth x #81
