What's on your workdesk Wednesday? 210


This week I am showing a messy desk as I have had so many comments on my tidiness, I thought you might like to see the dark side!



I was covering some round boxes which I am going to use as staging for a display, but I wanted them to have a more Shabby Chic look.

 
I also made some 'trees', they are going to be covered with sweets as a treat for the children!
 

 
I had some lovely suggestions for what to do with my printers tray, I am now well away with the design. I can't wait to finish it and share.
 
Have a great week!

  8. Those tress are going to be so cute! Love the soft colours you've chosen, and you are no where NEAR the dark side with your desk. Really, have you seen mine?? and this week it's actually pretty tidy. At most you qualify as slightly the dim side (desk, not mind LOL!) but a long way to go to get truly DARK...

    Happy WOYWW!

  18. That's what my desk looks like when I'm in the middle of creating things . . . but then it's tidied up immediately afterwards, else I cannot THINK or CREATE anything!

    Your boxes look great, and I'm looking forward to seeing your finished trees and printers tray.

    Thanks for visiting me. Hugs, Sarn #57

  23. What a fab idea the sweet trees are and what lovely boxes you have made. Incidentally, your desk looks pretty organised to me.
    Sorry I am late, sorry I did not comment last week but you didn't leave me a number and I did search and search but couldn't find you.

    I noticed the washi tape on your desk. I'm slowly developing a small collection! Now - to use it!

    Your boxes came out wonderfully!!!
