WOYWW 230 snippets box, what snippets box?

Hi Deskers
Happy Wednesday everyone, time to be nosey once again, join in with this weekly ritual if you dare.
see the details  here at Julia's stamping ground.
Anyway here is my desk for this week, not much going on. but lots of photos to follow!


The cubes are a perpetual calendar I have just started, actually  nearly everything you can see is for the calendar, took me ages to work out which numbers to put on each cube, there is only one way to do it.
the boxes contains beads, I am also going to make a beaded poppy for remembrance day.
That will be my in front of the TV project.
You maybe wandering what all this has to do with my title, nothing, but on Monday I had an extra day off work.... planned, nothing to do with the storm.
This was my desk then;
My snippets box


Then looked like this;


So I made these


and these



 and these


Now it looks like this


It just had to be done didn't it, I had a lot of fun doing it.
Now I really must settle down and make some Christmas cards. . . . . soon
Have a great week and see you on your desk soon... please leave a comment and Mr linky no.
see ya!

  4. Oh well done! Clearing, sorting AND some lovely things to show for your efforts too. Win win win!
    And extra days off always feel slightly illicit, don't they? Glad you enjoyed some me time....

  11. I feel shamed! I actually have a snippets drawer, there's that many of the little blighters, and I moved it to directly behind my desk to use them more. Still using them, but it seems for every one I use, I must make 10 more, 'cos I swear its getting fuller rather than emptier.You did good to make so many cards from yours. Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #56 xx

  20. Wow! You certainly got a lot out of your snippets box. I am so impressed with your drive! I'm lacking snippets these days, not because I went on a creative whirlwind like you did but because I donated them all to a lady who does punch art and other fun paper crafting things.

  22. Wow! And blimey! That's an impressive clear out of your snippets, Janet. And you've now got lots of lovely cards on hand just when you need them too ... all made from scraps of leftovers. Your snippet boxes are looking in better shape now :) So glad to read that the storm didn't do any damage round your way. We just got the tail end up here and that was quite bad enough. Thanks for visiting earlier and leaving such a nice comment. Hope you have a good week. Elizabeth x #42

  25. Forgot to say, the potato things are stones like those from a beach which I probably brought home to decorate at one time. I use them as paperweight.
