WOYWW # 537

I just realized it's Wednesday...in the middle of a rain storm. In fact it woke me from a deep sleep. We don't need the rain, but it's here. My Niece and Nephew have beautiful homes in Western Iowa were having evacuation 2 days ago. The Missouri river is out of control again.  I had a post on FB. The same area were in the spring farmers lost everything, even machinery floated down the river. No crops there this year. Recovery has been on going.

My desk: 
I transferred my washi tape to a spool holder I was unable to sell. Added a lazy susan type tray to the bottom and Whala.. Glad I still have it, it holds 90 spools of thread.  A few stamps I am sorting thru for a paint chip challenge.

Making this short and sweet...before electric goes out.  Have a great week.

Join in our Wednesday gathering of sharing our workspaces by visiting Julia at the Stamping Ground,

What a great idea for a washi holder. It's been horrible hearing all about the natural disasters going on around the US. Hope all works out. Dorlene #27

I bet you're glad you didn't sell that spool holder because it's brilliant for holding the washi tapes, so easy to see and access! I hadn't heard about the storms and floods in Missouri, hope you and the family are ok.

Wow, what a great way of storing your washi tapes and you get to see what you've got at a glance - love it!
I hope the weather eases up for you and your family soon, it must be a terrible worry for you all.

Hi Sylvia, so sad to hear of the storms and flooding. We are totally at the mercy of nature when this happens. Hope your family and friends are staying safe. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 X

Oh my, Sylvia, it sounds like you are all having a dreadful time. So unlucky for you to live in an area where floods happen. Many years ago I lived in a house that was flooded in the basement every time there was heavy rain - fortunately it never reached the upper floors - but clearing up afterwards was horrible. Love your washi tape holder - very clever to add the lazy susan. Hope you have a week without floods. Elizabeth x #19

Gosh Sylvia, what terrible events you report...the weather is extraordinary. At the very least I hope you werent without power for too long. It’s a bit of a nightmare for Fuzz to decide what to harvest when, surely. I like that you’ve managed to find a use - a really good use for the spool holder. I dont have as much Washi as you, but I can confidently say that I never use what I’ve got!

Oh a rainstorm sounds lovely! We are so very dry here! Rain would be so welcome but we have to take what we are given. We are supposed to have a cool down tomorrow as the 90 degree temps have continued to pound us! Love the desk you are showing; loving that tape holder. How handy that looks!

Great wahi holder. Sometimes I get rid of stuff and then wish I'd kept them. I almost got rid of my Lazy Susan and then years later I'm using it to stand one of my die cutting machines on, it's great. Wishing you a lovely creative week and a happy woyww, Angela x10x

Oh Sylvia, I do hope that the weather starts being much kinder. It's so awful at times and the consequences can be so dire. Love your washi holder. Great idea to add a lazy Susan underneath for ease of use. Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah #3

I'm running late with my visits today as I had a creative day yesterday making Christmas tree decorations!....a bit early for me but needs must when you get orders.
I'm so sorry to hear the trouble the weather is causing over there and hope you and your family stay safe and there's not too much damage.
Hugs,
Annie x #15

We had heavy rain overnight too but it's all dried up and gone now, thank goodness. That little stand for your tape is really useful. xx Jo
