A clean desk is a good thing

I'm lucky enough to enjoy a little room dedicated to all my crafting stuff. It's nothing amazing but it's mine and I love it. The problem is that as I make a card or scrap a page I tend to leave the mess on the table. With each new project more paper and misc. items begin to amass until the amount of actual workspace is no bigger than a small card. Eventually I have to take a morning to clean it all off and I am always so happy when I do... so why can't I just keep it clean all the time? I don't know, part of me wishes I could do that but then again most times when I'm doing a 'big clean' I find things that I've had and overlooked and they inspire me to make a card as soon as the desk is clear. This card is one of those... I was putting away the little set of MME die-cuts, saw the frame and thought it was about the perfect size to house one of my little Ketto stamps. Though I am proud to report that I did manage to clean up immediately after I finished so the desk is still clean... for now... ;) Supply list:

    I am the same with my craft stuff and my area is the dining room table gated off from my kids. LOL.

  4. This card is stunning. I adore the colours you used. I too have a very messy craft table. I always say to myself, pack everything away after each card, but it never seems to happen. xo Jackie
