yup... it is just the way it goes.

YES!!! It doesn't matter if I'm working on an 8 foot table or a two foot one, I always managed to work myself into a teeny tiny space!!! I used to give myself a hard time for it, but I've realized over time, that working with all my 'stuff' surrounding me is just part of my creative proccess and I probably wouldn't know what to do in a more stark environment! (At least that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! :>) Thanks for sharing! :>

can sooo relate. and unfortunately i usually end up adding more work tables (that i find by the roadside just begging me to take them home and cover them w/ works in progress!!)

Looks like we are all in this together! What a great creative world we have...just a bit messy when you get it all out...that's the space we have left!
In my PERFECT WORLD, I dream of clean and clutter free, everything has a home, everything in it's home...but then...life's not "perfect"...and if it was all put away then we wouldn't be creating!
Have a goodie!

I find the more space I have, the bigger the mess. It grows until I can't find anything and am forced to put things away. I really do love to have my "stuff" around me. Oh no, do I sound like a hoarder?

Someone said that a Messy desk is the sign of Genius. My desk gets like this everyday, but if I can I try to take 15 min to put things back to some degree so that tomorrow morning I can start out with at least a place to start again :-).

I completely understand! I have an old kitchen table in my scraproom and most of the time it is piled with bits & pieces of items I want to use. I consider it my inspiration! Isn't a messy space the sign of a genius??

They say that a messy desk is the sign of Genius.....I try to clean up everynight with 5 minutes of time. Just so that I can get to a clean desk in the morning. However, I am not always finished with the project I am working on so I put the working project in a file next to my desk. Just so that I can have a clean desk in the morning. I just cannot work in a messy place...so that means I am NOT a Genius. Oh Well, love the scrapping....

Hi Ali
I received my April RealSimple today, and I saw your little piece. It made me smile. I am so excited for April's a week in the life. It is still my family's favorite album.
Thank you!

That happens to me ALL the time.. glad I keep good company!

So with you on this!!! Even if I tidy everything up, by the time I make one card I have a microscopic spot on the table to work!!! Glad to hear I'm not alone!!

That is my desk, except for the scrapbooking stuff, it is all about college stuff: books, calculators (yes, three of them), pen and pencils and all those things. Now I am tusying in the dinner table. lol Need to scrap again really soon.

Tee hee, it does resemble my nice neat piles. Every now and again I beat them back, but it does seem the workspace is always shrinking...

Amen.

Glad to see even the professionals work like the rest of us! LOL
I just cleaned off my counter today. Let's see how long it lasts.

OH I can sooooo relate! I love your table though....very nice!

I can totally relate! Unless I don't scrap..the desk is never neat for a second! And honestly..unless you are a neat freak hahaha.

yes I can relate, I have a table that was suppose to be the work area but its down to a little more than 12x12 open space :)

I have an 8 ft table and the only space I have to work on is my 13 x 13 glass mat. I make sure it's cleared off, so I have that much space to work on. Everything else is at an arm's length away.

Exactly what happens every time I clean off my scrapbook table to get started. But be the signs of a true scrapper.
