6 inch by 12 inch

Hi folks, hope you are all ok.

I don't have a card to show you this evening but I do have a pic to share. After spending two days creating in my craftroom I began to realise I had to tidy up quick smart as I had only a 6 x 12 inch space left on my desk. Before I cleaned it all up though I took a quick photo. It's all tidy again now, not sure for how long though.

Thank you for visiting my blog, I'm off for a catch up of your lovely blogs.
