Good day to you, dear WOYWW-ers! I hope that you are sitting as you visit my workspace today. For the first time in quite some time, we are back in the Paper Palace and you get to actually see – wait for it – my desk! I know. Those of you with weak hearts might not be able to take the excitement!
I have cleared off some space in preparation for this weekend’s Biannual Blogathon Bash, which I’ll be joining as a first-timer, and in anticipation of Where Bloggers Create 2012, which is just around the corner. For the Blogathan, I have gathered up all of my loose notes into one pretty folder and found a notebook to use for collecting my thoughts. I started to do this earlier this year – but my “write everything on the back of an envelope or a post-it note” habit soon took over. A visit to Inspire Me Monday, however, will show you why I was inspired to dig out my notebook again. You’ll also find art featured by an up-and-coming WOYWWer (also known as “son of a WOYWWer”) there!
As you can see, there is also one very put-out puddy cat on my desk – no doubt, still sulking from last week’s eviction from his high rise digs – pouting over this week’s Wordless Wednesday expose where Mom expressed her side of the story – or just plain annoyed that I disturbed his nap to take another photo!
Now if you are wondering what this WOYWW thing is all about – satisfy your curiosity by visiting Julia at Stamping Ground and join the fun! Before long, you will find yourself transported to desk after desk of creative delights!
Have a fabulous day as you journey from workspace to workspace!
Join Me On Inspire Me Monday
Love the notebooks and the artwork on them. You have a lot going on. So much energy. #14
And a lovely ‘tidy’ desk it it too! Our ‘cat that isn’t ours’ says Hi… he never seems to go ‘home’ these days! Thank you for my snoop, have a great week. HaPpY WoYwW!

Pour pouting kitty – I have a pup that does the same thing, but she usually faces the wall and gives me the evil eye over her shoulder. lol… dani22

By the way, Dawn – welcome to WOYWW! 🙂
Happy WOYWW. I love your notebooks and ‘cat’ is gorgeous. We have a very spoilt cat in the house – and 3 more on the farmyard (with their own beds in my tack shed!). The Blogathon sounds great – have fun. Ali x #61
Notebooks are gorgeous but I have to admit the kitty wins hands down.

Hi Sandee,
Great events – the buttons are on my sidebar – hope you can join the fun!
Busy…busy…how exciting it all sounds.
I love the way puddytats take it all in their stride….horizontally mostly!
I have to write everything down these days…is that a sign of age…nah I didn’t think so either ;D
Happy WOYWW ~ enjoy!

Sounds exciting! If I wasn’t so busy already I might considered jumping in! I’ve gotten out of the habit of journaling. Pretty journals btw. Kitty will get over it! A cutie! Valerie #36
Sounds like you are getting organized too! I have to find a notebook and title it “My Must Do!” book so I can keep track of where to go from here. I am finally getting the dies and stamps organized and will need some direction on where to go from there. Poor PuddyCatt. I think you must be maligning the poor creature! Have fun! Vickie #23

Funny, Vickie – that’s what Prince Charming says! But have you seen what he writes about ME?!!!

Beautiful artwork – and lovely to see your cat too – thanks for the opportunity of having a peep at your workspace – trying to make a few visits early this week! Hazel, WOYWW #83 x
happy WOYWW ! My cat used to love to “help” too! Annie 🙂
Hi what a darling cat. You sound like you are so craftily busy. I so would like to send you an ATC please email me your address and I will pop one in the mail. It will take a bit to get there as I’m in Australia. Sandy 🙂 #86

Thank you so much Sandy – you are just the sweetest! 🙂

You have to know… my little Seanzy is madly, deeply, totally in love with your cat.
Aloha,

Well, look at that, a desk! And a lovely Jordi LaBamba notebook I think..pretty. I’m the same, write a note on whatever’s near. Mind you, in my house, you’re oftenin the proximity of a notepad, I can’t stop buying them!!
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1
says:
See Julia that’s the thing… notebooks abound and yet I can NEVER seem to find one when I need to write anything down – so my important thoughts always seem to end up on whatever little scrap of paper I can find… which, of course, can NEVER be retrieved at the moment I most need it…
Sigh.
Well done for being No 1 on the list.
I have taken part in a few crafty blogathons in the past and they are such fun …especially the first one…. have loads of pre-prepared food at the ready …and have a fabby time….look forward to see the results.xx
I think your cat has claimed ownership of the desk!!

Love your notebook and of course I love, love, love the kitty. He looks like so unstressed!

I know! When all you have to worry about is whether you sleep in a dresser drawer or a slum brown box – well, whether he realizes it or not – Legend is STYLING! lol
What a gorgeous cat. Fabulous artwork too.

Morning Joy, Williams card is fabulous. I bet his Daddy will treasure it. The cat looks like he is all created out! WOYWW Hugs from Helen 107
Looks like you’re all organised, even if puddy is put out! Take care & enjoy the snooping! Zo xx 74
You are going to be sooo busy with the Blogathon! Love your cat, looks very pampered which is just how it should be. Noticed your comment on another post that you have not received any ATCs – mine may not be the most exciting but I would love to send you one if you wish. Please let me know and I will get one off to you straight away – can’t have you going without! Happy WOYWW, Anne x #43

says:
Thank you so much Anne – I love what you sent! 🙂
Love your story and dying to see the resulting efforts of your blogathon.
Sounds like a busy weekend coming up with the blogathon. Kitty looks none too pleased but c’est la vie! They have a great way of letting us know they’re not happy don’t they? I tell you, if I could have taken that little goosie home with me, I would have! Reminds me of the story on CBS of the retired man who made friends with a goose at the park.. http://www.wimp.com/gooseman/ Very cool story.
Hugs

Fabulous Notebooks. A very tidy desk too. Welcome to WOYWW. Hugs Ritaxx
Enjoy the Blogathon. Very laid back cat there!! x Jo
It going to be a hot weekend here. This will be my first Blogathon wish me luck so much to do so little time!
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1
says:
I know! Still making my list and gearing up! Here is to a productive weekend for us all! 🙂
I have a notebook that I carry around in my purse. At first I hated to mess it up with my writing but now I’ve dug in! It’s nice getting organized, I must admit. This weekend I think I’m going to tackle my one close that I throw all my craft supplies in — oh my! This will be interesting, indeed!
I started following you on pinterest – it may show my name as Kay Hammock.
I didn’t to a WOYWW post this week – time ran away!
Hugs,

Hi Kay,
Thanks for joining me on Pinterest – delighted to follow you back – can’t wait to explore your boards – looks like you have been having as much fun there as I have! 🙂
I need a new notebook for my purse. I used to carry one around but due to shoulder pain my husband has been shrinking my purses so space has been an issue. I just got a new purse though and I think I managed to sneak in an inch or two of extra space – so I will see if I can squeeze a notebook back in once I make the change-over! 🙂
Hey! An actual desk this time. Whoo hoo! Is kitty really pouting or just plotting revenge? It’s so hard to tell.

That’s the thing Judy – I think he likes to keep me guessing! 🙂
Oh your workdesk must be very comfy -isn’t it nice to have company while you craft!

Well, I’m going to have to check out the blogathon!
I didn’t have much to show this week, so did

I am anxious to see what you do with the cat. There are so many possibilities… Spray ink, modge podge, tissue tape…. HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! Just teasing. I LOVE your notebook!!! The girl is awesome!
Adorable kitty cat ! I love when the desk gets tidied.
