Hello all you seasoned WOYWWers and newbies of course. Join the merry crew and blog hop the desks of lovely crafters all over the world courtesy of Julia our host.Thought I'd show you all my new Christmas toy, the Zutter Bind-it-all.
Not actually bound anything yet but have had a play with the hole making part... I intend to bind my Craft Barn Alpha Challenge pages when they are all done, the first one is on my desk entitled "Valentine" and can been seen close up here.

I am in the process of mending my Nativity figures which were delivered in a state of brokenness some years back. Filling in holes left from missing pieces and chips with my texture paste. Shepherd now has a kneecap and the angel has a newly fashioned foot! The Holy family and a lamb were virtually unscathed but the others were in pieces!There's also my first Timmy Tag of the year which can be seen here. The little set of drawers on the left was another Christmas pressy. The card on the right my insect/bug SWAP on my UKPC group, really need to make mine now.... Oops. And my trusty Dr Who pencil, what more could a girl want?

I've been by several times and could not get my comment to publish. I'm having a terrible time with Blogger, but was able to get on another blog so took the chance to stop by.
I saw your Timmy tag and loved it. You did a great job with it. The Valentine is new. I hadn't seen it. I like that of all the V words, how that one came to mind. I had to chuckle when you wrote that!
I really enjoyed the Magi spread. It was great and colorful, too. Like I said, I've been by, just couldn't get my comments to publish.
Hope you had a great New Year. It was awesome to see your Zutter. What fun you will have with it, I'm sure.
Now wish me luck on being able to publish this comment!
Oh a new toy! i hope you really enjoy it, i predict a handful of minis from you this year, at least! Loe the butterfly card BJ, so delicate on a less colour background. Love that you are able to repair the nativity set from your stash, i hope shepherd enjoys his new knee as much as my dear father in law enjoys his!!!
Am loving your desk, BJ! Good pile of goodies to play with... good luck with the repair job! Helen, 7
oooo you got a BIA!!! I wouldn't be without mine, its amazing what materials you can make a book out of :D Such a shame about your nativity figures BJ but you are doing a good job with the orthopaedics xxx
What a lovely present. A friend has one and made some lovely mini books. Happy playing.

Great post, BJ. I think you are going to make lots of lovely mini books with the binding machine. Your Timmy tag is fabulous and I do like that butterfly card - it's gorgeous. Thanks for dropping by and leaving your welcome comment. Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #69
Ooh new toys are great aren't they? Hope you enjoy your BiA. I had to smile at your repair efforts. Thank you for visiting my workdesk and for your kind comment about my cushions. Happy Wednesday. :o)

Like your take on the Craft Barn challenge, I may have a go at that one if I can bear to rip up a dictionary :-)
Enjoy your toy, yet another thing I have tucked away in the cupboard and keep forgetting about, but it is a very handy tool.
Have a good week.

Ah, like Ann B, mine is tucked away in a cupboard but it is a fabulous tool to have and so much fun to use too. I am having terrible problems with Blogger at the moment and don't seem to able to leave comments so hope this one works! Hugs, Anne x #47
Thanks for your visit earlier too.
I am indeed re- cushioning, I generally can't get used to the bare rubber idea. Quite a lot came off with cushion intact, which was good( and cheaper!). Hugs, Shaz
Hi BJ,
Your desk has some great eye candy! Isn't it fun to get new toys - especially at Christmas.
Hugs,
Kay
New toys are always fun!! Love the pink.
Glad the family was saved. LOL
I am new to WOYWW and friends with Sandee. Hope you have a chance to check out my blog and desk.

Have fun with the Bind-It-All. I love mine.
We've got a bind it thingy at work, it's like a machine of torture!! Hope yours is better behaved. I laughed at your description of repairing the nativity! So glad a kneecap has been replaced...and there's something I didn't think I'd be typing today, lol!
Hugs, LLJ 38 xx
ohhh love thee zutter! Fab piece of kit that machine is. Love your desk so much to look at as a whole. Shame your pieces were damaged but it looks like you are having fun fixing them none the less.
Hi BJ
Hope you have great fun with the bind it all !
I have one but haven't really got to grips with it ! Must try harder !
Thanks for stopping by ! Have a fun week !

I have wanted a bind it all for some time so I could make books. Somehow something all comes up to take my money...Maybe later!

Hi

Hi BJ you look like you have some super fun new toys to play with. Lucky you. I took a peek at you TH tag and it is really lovely. glad it got your mojo going for 2013! Love Jo x
They had a Dr. Who marathon the other day but they jumped around the years so it was kinda hard to keep up. Have you bound anything yet with your new machine? I wish I had one, so let me know how you like it! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Ooh... look forward to seeing what you get up to with the Zutter! Lovely things going on on your desk... off to check out your TH tag. Happy WOYWW!

You will LOVE the bind it all! I love mine, but I haven't used it in awhile...I need to pull it out and have some fun myself!
Happy WOYWW!

Oooh you will have such fun with your new pink friend, just make some little notebooks up and get the idea and you will have it all figured out. Had to smile over you mending the nativity characters... and imagining what my attempts would turn out like... sort of Frankenstein meets Holy Family... Annette #37
What a fun new toy!! You'll have to let us know how well it works, when you've bound something!
Happy Crafting!
Jeannie #60
Now there's a toy I would love to have, you are a lucky girl. Lots of things happening on your desk this week.
Happy WOYWW!

I enjoyed seeing your desk. A Dr. Who pencil - awesome! I really like the card with the butterflies. I'm also looking forward to seeing the projects you create with the Zutter. I got a binder for Christmas too.

Thanks for stopping by my space in blog land. I got the non pink binding system - I think the one by We are Memory Keepers. I have not had the chance to use it yet. My nieces are coming over next weekend and I think that will be the perfect time to break it out and make little books for them to keep. :-) I just thought of that. lol
I hope you share what you make with yours. :-)

Glad to see your Nativity set is having a makeover and repair. We have a set that was bought from Woolworths for less than ten shillings about 50 years ago. They are starting to look a little sorry for themselves, but they are a traditional part of the decorations and are becoming family heirlooms. xx Maggie #32
great looking desk. I have a zutter and have never used it!!!grrr! Lots of love goes into refurbishing items you want to keep for posterity! Sorry I am so late getting around but life definitely reared its head and got in my way! Hope your week has gone well and you have been able to do some crafting. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Vickie #31
Hello again... stencil bumping - exactly as you say... except you can also do darker over lighter for a different effect! Leandra's got a great video on youtube:
