Every week I have been taking photos and not posting them because, I have been really on a tear up here the last little while. When I got the new sound processors in March I came home with 1 of those 10 drawer units from the Container store and I LOVED that... and then I ordered another one. so this is the front side of under the table with a view of the second one. those plastic boxes were inside the file cabinet and all of those contain wood mounted rubber stamps.
This is what it looks like yesterday. a few weeks ago I ended up ordering 6 more of these drawer sets so there is now 8 of them that completely fill the under side of these two husky tables. ( they are sitting on a piece of plywood) and they contain wood mounted rubber stamps. on the other side I do have three drawers with ink pads and on both sides there are a few empty drawers but, not that many.
This is some new loot that came in the mail on Monday so it was sitting on top of that side of the table Tuesday when I got home the Nellie the nest lady and the Geraniums were eBay finds.
I got that geranium for like .99 cents and shipping because, the back side of that block was filthy with packed in ink and glitter. ( I cleaned and cleaned that rubber and fortunately it stamps just fine. that is not always the case so, I tend to shy away from ones where the rubber looks "iffy" now as I have bought a couple that the rubber came in crumbling kwim?) So, I did start painting it last night before dinner. and this is what is going on this morning. I am not quite done "organizing" I am about to start more purging I think, but it is much closer than it was a few months ago. I still have stamps on the wall, and all the other wood mounted stamps are now under this table together. on one side or the other. so, that is much more functional for me than trying to dig and shift boxes around.
On the home front things are going well, supposedly my new truck should have been done being built last week and so the wait is two more weeks to have it reach us here. ( crossing fingers) it was pushed back a week because, the different plants are taking turns shutting down for weeks/month at a time because of the chip shortage. So, I had sold the dealer my truck a couple of months ago because, it had 97,700 miles on it and those trucks are worth more to trade in to trade them in at under 100K on the odometer. I have been driving hubs all this time and he has been driving one of the other work trucks. But, I am looking forward to not wearing black all the time. ( driving his truck means the seatbelt is grubby and in pale clothes I end up with a line across the front of me) wouldn't it be cool if you could toss seat belts in the wash? Anyways, there is no water in line one ( the part of the irrigation district water canal that is right next to my property) for year two now. Hubs has cut his grow plan way back as far as the veggie garden goes and it actually started snowing here in April so we picked up feet of snow in the mountains but, they are not releasing the water again. and we tell our selves 7 more years and he can retire and we can move to where people are not fighting over water rights and Forrest fires.
I am hopeful that now that I can walk around again up here ( I had the hoarders episode look going on while I was sorting those stamps ) and I keep moving things around I will have more interesting desk views to share again. That's about it from me, hope you are all doing well. Thanks for stopping by.

Those drawer units look great Stacy - much better for storage and finding stamps without having to move boxes all the time. Hope the new truck arrives soon. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #6
Oh wow, I have drawer envy! It looks amazing, can you remember what you’ve put in which drawer though? I’d have to label the: all, lol! Here’s hoping your truck gets built pdq, sounds like you need your own wheels again!

The drawers look great, I am continually organising and sorting - it’s the only way to remember what I have ! Happy WOYWW. Angela #14

Loving the new drawers they are brilliant for organising your stash and knowing where everything is when you need it. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x11x
Cor Stacey, you’ve done a blinding job, those file drawers look ace and you’ll come to know by instinct what steps are in which drawer, so useful. I get the hoarders reference…my little room looks like it right now, am kinda hoping that someone might break in and tidy up in an attempt to find something valuable. Which they won’t!! Am on a mission now, to find a UK supplier of the Funny Bones stamps, I really need some of what you’ve goT! It’s horrid when you a buy a st2mp from eBay and it turns up all out of condition and unusable, hate that. Well done for rescuing this one, it’s another beauty! Gosh, your water situation is real edge of the seat stuff isn’t it, such a shame that it will force you to move.
Great organising and that looks like some fine loot!
Happy WOYWW!

wow! Love those drawers, but they'd never fit into my craft room though. I'm having a sort out but so far the bit where I craft is still hardly more than 6" square!Happy WOYWW!? Stay safe, keep on crafting,((Lyn))#5
Hi Stacey, I love those drawers. They are fab. I'm forever sorting my stuff but I should stop now because I can't locate several items I really would like to use but I have forgotten where they are now. A familiar story in the crafting community, no doubt! Hope you get your new truck soon. The water situation sounds a nightmare. Living in a part of Scotland where there's no shortage of water - ever! - I can't imagine what it must be like to have the source cut off. Hopefully, your really don't have to wait seven years until yours is restored. Sorry to be so late but I hope you've had a good weekend. Elizabeth x #9
