WOYWW #1

Welcome to the 1st edition of Lisa's
What's On Your Work-desk Wednesday

These weekly posts will let you in on a rarely seen world of crafting madness...my work areas!!

Before I get to the photos, I need to explain that I'm disabled and spend most of my time in my recliner with my laptop on my little lap-desk and have tons of crafty supplies strewn all around me!!  Most of the time you're not going to see a work "desk", but more of a work "lap-desk"!!

Let's get to the photos, shall we?

This mess is my lap-desk covered in card-making supplies.

Here's my actual working area (on top of my laptop's keyboard) and you can see the 2 cards I was working on and some of the supplies.

To the right of my work area (aka keyboard) are my stamping supplies, a couple paper punches, some ribbon, and a few other items.

To the right of those supplies, is the arm of our other recliner covered in even more supplies!!  You can kind of make out some ribbon, a punch, a stack of acrylic stamps, some paper, a bag of wooden buttons and more!!

I'm linking up this post to Stamping Ground, the original host of WOYWW!!




Even though these next photos aren't from my actual work area, I just have to share them with you!!

In the past, I've mentioned my lace supplier in this post and my ephemera supplier in this one.  I just have to show you photos of my recent orders from them!!  These two woman are incredible!!

VINTAGE EPHEMERA
When ordering from Sarah this time, I requested a special order of just vintage book pages and vintage sheet music.  I payed $15 for the paper plus $5 shipping.  In return I received over 2lbs of vintage ephemera!!  This stuff is amazing!!

This is my entire order!!  You can't really tell by this photo, but each of those is a small stack of pages!!

Here's a good close up of the paper I received!!

If you ever use ephemera in your crafts, you've got to visit Sarah's shop on eBay, Stuff in the Attic!!  If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, just send her an e-mail and she'll put it together for you!!

LACE
Now to show you the huge amount of lace I ordered!!  I paid a mere $25 plus S&H for a whole pound of lace!!  That may not sound like a lot, but we're talking about 150 yards or more of lace!!  Check it out...

This box is about 18"x15"x6" and it's overflowing with lace from this one order!!

This is a side view of how full the box is!!

You absolutely cannot beat Crystal's prices for lace, especially when buying her assortments!!  Visit her Artfire Shop to see her listings or you can e-mail Crystal for a custom order.

If you order from Sarah or Crystal, please tell them I sent you!!

Thanks for reading!!  Until next time...

Supplies: Ephemera Resources

This post is for those of you who really enjoy paper-crafting, especially those that like to use vintage ephemera and/or make altered books.

I've found a couple people who sell lots of ephemera and similar items on eBay. However, if you contact them by e-mail and they'll actually put together a special package just for you! I spent $30 with each of them and received GREAT packages! Be sure to tell them Lisa Hazell recommended you! Here's their information:
SARAH - Her e-mail addy is sarahwest07@sbcglobal.net and her eBay store is here. She offers awesome vintage ephemera that is perfect for any paper-crafting project requiring vintage images! My package contained a huge amount of newspaper and magazine cut-outs and tear sheets, sheet music, original photos (including negatives and as old as 1903), vintage game pieces, keys, and much more! You can either purchase select lots from her eBay store or send her a detailed e-mail with what you're looking for and how much you want to spend (including S&H).
PAM - Her e-mail addy is pam@razzpizazz.com, her eBay store is here, and her website is www.razzpizazz.com. She sells books that are perfect for chunky books or altered journals and also has a lot of vintage items such as leaflets, maps, postcards, & sheet music. I received many hardback books in my shipment from her as well as maps, postcards (as old as 1908 and some international ones too), sheet music, vintage kid books, and more! You can either purchase select lots from her eBay store or website or you can send her a detailed e-mail with what you're looking for and how much you want to spend (including S&H).


Since I've been working on paper-crafts lately, I've needed some specific images and fonts for my projects. For fonts, I highly recommend www.dafont.com. I've found some great image sites that I think you'll like, although most of the images are vintage. Here's the list of image sites:

I hope these ephemera resources help you with your paper-crafting projects!! Let me know if you order from Sarah or Pam and if you're just as thrilled with your orders as I was with mine! Also, feel free to reply to this post with any other image sites you may know about! I would love to know about a new site or even a few new sites!

Thanks for reading everyone!
