WOYWWED?

How come everyone else's workdesks look so pretty and mine often looks like a 747 went through my studio?
Especially this week.  It kind of looks like an abbatoir. 
I am FINALLY working on my configuration box to honour my mother.  It has been on my desk for MONTHS now and I work around it.  That's just dumb.  So tonight I told myself I could not eat supper until I covered it and sprayed it.
There was a lot of arguing and pouting and stamping of (my) feet, but it got done.
A girl has to eat, eh?

    Oh you and me both - I can 'walk around' a project for years - and then discover it takes about 30 minutes to get out of the way, complete! The colour may be red, but abbatoir wasn't my first thought LOL!

    Arghhh

    YOU CANNOT be serious? (McEnroe Style)

    your mothers memorial box looks like something from an abattoir????

    I laughed then thought Oh God that is not appropriate to laugh at this lady's moms memorial, then the 747 image started me laughing again, and again I though Noooo plane crashes are not funny,

    still laughing however inappropriate it may be: thanks,

    hah,

    fabulous post,

    fabulous,

    It's fun to see desks. I know what you mean about working around things, I still have not finished my box yet, but slowly getting there. Have a good week.

    Way to go! Priorities! I think sometimes I put off doing things not because I don't want to do them but the memories they bring forth. I can't wait to see the finished box. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #43
