Welcome Wednesday! It seems like you come quicker and quicker these days! If it is Wednesday, then it must be WOYWW time…AKA…What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday. It is the time that we share our creative spaces in all their messy glory (ok there are a few not so messy ones too) as well as what they are crafting. The always Fabulous Julia at the Stamping Ground has the links to over 100 desks throughout the world for us to sneak a peek.
Here is our desk (in the Mariott Courtyard Hotel) from this weekend at the Creating Keepsakes Convention (CKC Portland). It was a wonderful weekend with fabulous new friends and lots to learn!
Most of our learning was done on our new favorite tool- Photoshop Elements. Here OCD Me and Creative Me took copious notes and WOW! …after six hours of classes over the weekend, this is the last of the three one page layouts that we created…
*Warning: The POW is letting you know that the rest of this post is family stuff. Scroll to the comments if not interested*
Oldest Child might as well be of the grid, but he had two more wrestling matches. He lost the one while we were in Portland and then had a forfeit yesterday (making him 2-3 as of now). He has also discovered Xbox live…and his friends who are also on it… *sigh* The POW feels that the upside is that it is one more thing that we can take away when the grades slip….
Now only if we could convince Mother Nature to stop snowing… (picture from today)

Oh goodness, I thought the snow was all gone. lol Well it is here in SE Ohio!
A desk at the hotel! Why of course! I could leave a mess at a hotel, never thought of that. lol Glad you had a great weekend!
Great post today and I love the idea of going somewhere else and making a mess, too!!
I do enjoy seeing all your pics each week. Thanks for sharing them.
Hugs,

Oooo, that looks cold Amanda!
We’re having unseasonably warm weather at the moment here in the uk and we even have a hosepipe ban already because of the lack of rain through the winter.
Loving your scrapbook page. I have Photoshop 7 and Elements on my computer and don’t really know how to use either of them, just the bare minimum. Think I need to find myself a good on line course.
Happy Crafting!

everything but the snow looks good! LOL Have a fun WOYWW.
If I ever need inspiration to start a new project, all I need to do is start in on cleaning my workspace!
Thanks for the photos.

I am shivering just thinking about your snow. I thought it might of been done with. Glad you learned to use your Photoshop. I am still puttering around with mine.
Your layout is very pretty! Sorry about the snow! We have had delightful weather this week!
How fun that you got to go to CKC!
And how crummy that you are still having snow.
Great layout, I've been trying to learn Photoshop as well, have done some online courses and love it, I just don't work on it enough to be proficient and have to go back through my notes all the time.
Love the snow picture, I don't get much snow where I live!
Glad you are getting to know PSE better. I've used it for years for photos, digital scrapping, and designing and I love the program! All that snow looks so cold! My spring bulbs are already starting to sprout here!
Snow! Love seeing your pics each week. Take care, enjoy snooping around the wonderful desks & enjoy this WOYWW. Zo xx 33
Wow, its hard for me to believe its still snowing in some parts of the states. I guess we're spoiled here in Texas, this week has been really beautiful with temps in the low 80s. Stay warm, great blog!!!
Lucky you at the CKC and especially for taking the PSE course.
I am so hopeless on the computer i think I would be wasting my money to try...
Your layouts look fabulous so you must be a quick learner!!!
Think I need a course like that - we have photoshop and I would love to be able to use it for my crafty activities. Have a great week. x Jo
Crazy snow! It's 75 here and mostly sunny-yay!! Days and days of rain, gray clouds and yuck are gone (well hopefully for a little while anyway!) Love what you learned in the Photoshop class. CKC will in Houston in June, I want to take that class if it's offered. Have Photoshop, never used it!!!
...lovely & neat & organised...cute snowy pics...have a fab week...Mel :)
Another great family post - I love reading about all your exploits! Your computer artwork is impressive - I wouldn't know where to begin!!
Hugs, LLJ #26 xx
snow always looks so pretty but a pain to live with,have a great week,x
Your work space looks about as big as mine! haha :) But so loving the storage bin for your micro pens. Where did you get that? :)
Nice layout. I've had PSE for several years, and just can't get the hang of it, seems like too many steps. Taking lots of photos, though. Glad you got to the CKC and have some fun, there is one in Manchester NH next month, I hope to go. Barb #90
amanda - cute lo! isn't pse wonderful? lol...
Wow, you are one busy mom. Makes me look like the mom that sits at home and eats chocolate all day ;)
Your layout looks so cool, how neat.
Great layout! Love how you enlarged the one photo.
What a wonderful workshop and I think the snow looks gorgeous.
No snow in Michigan, we've had hardly any in fact. 75F today, late May weather in the middle of March, hope this doesn't mean we'll top 120F in August!! Looks like you had a great time in Portland, I need some voodoo magic this morning I can tell you!
Hugs

Thanks for the tip - I'm using PSE for Project Life. Your layout looks great!
Thanks for stopping by (and the family stuff IS entertaining!)
Wow you sure sound like a busy mom. Great for you for going to ckc someday i hope to be able to achieve something with my photos!
Great window on life there and it looks like you had a fab time at Creating Keepsakes. Don't envy you the snow... it's Spring here, thank goodness!
Thanks for popping by my blog,

Oh how I would have loved to have been there! I'm not one for digi stuff but the other stuff would have had me dribbling!
I´d like to have a CKC too! Love Photoshop Elements but have learnt to use it all by myself...
And don´t worry ´bout the snow - that´s not much...
...says Tuire from Finland!
With warm hugs :)
I'm incapable of doing stuff in the convention evenings..too much sensory overload, so I am impressed that you kept going! glad it was a good weekend, they have a fine reputations must say!
Sounds like you had a great time at the convention - I have to take notes too... otherwise it just disappears into the ether!! Hope your snow has gone by now... I'm wondering if we are going to get some tonight as the old temp gauage is dropping like a stone...
Wow great layouts, bet you had a fab time. Gorgeous family and the snow pic is beautiful. Happy woyww :-) Kezzy x
Voodoo donuts ey! Do you put pins in them?
I came over here last week, but I see no comment is here???
Hugs
