I do have to tell you that last night while I tried to neaten my space (yes, I tried) I found two things I have looked for, for months! One, was my exacto knife, which I found on the floor behind a small cabinet next to my workdesk. I had even purchased a new one. The other thing I found was my Copic colorless marker. I had looked behind my workdesk on the floor, and not seeing it, had given up, and thought it got thrown away. Well, the lower half of my wall behind my workdesk, is paneling and then there is molding on top of that. When I was picking up the exacto knife, I happen to see that marker sitting on the molding right behind and under where I keep my markers. It hadn't fallen clear to the floor. I was so excited to find these two things! So had to share.
Hope you have a great WOYWW! Thanks for stopping by my space, and for your encouraging comments. I will try to come by your space too! :)

It's amazing the things we find when we tidy our desks. Happy woyww Jill #40
i can't see the wood for the trees quite often when I am in the middle of creating and then there is all that wasted time trying to find things!!! So know what you mean ;)

I love finding crafty bits that I thought I'd lost. So satisfying.
Thanks for sharing.

Sorry you couldn't sleep but glad you found stuff you'd been missing!
I love finally finding the thing I was looking for. #2
It always wonderful to find those items that play hide 'n seek. I really like the look of your marker holder. Susanne #66
I did the same thing with my x-acto knives. Now I have two, one that's nice and sharp, and one kinda dullish cuz sometimes that's what's needed. :-) When the sharp one gets dull I swap in a new blade.
Happy Woyww,

I love my ATG gun but I need to be careful where I get the tapes from as some mess the gun up! Glad you found the things you thought you had lost #35
somewhere, in amongst all my crafty stash are 5 loose journal pages I have made for a swap with friends. Can I find them? Can I heck! I have tidied, and tidied and given up looking now. Hoping that next time I go looking for something else they will turn up! Lx
Two lucky finds! Love the ATG gun but don't ask me about loading. I get in a pickle each time. There are You Tube videos which help though.
I am not sleeping hence my one am visit.
Thanks for visiting me earlier.

Good finding! I hate when things go missing, but as usually they turn up pretty much in front of us!! Take care Zo xx 59
My keys slid down the couch cushion once but not all the way to the floor. They were too far down for you to reach down and get them. They were there for days while I used my spare key. Finally I got frustrated and TORE the house apart, including tossing the sofa on its back--and there they were. So I can totally relate to the marker on the molding bit. And you probably couldn't have rested it there if you tried! I'm still admiring your spice rack/marker holder. Once you load the ATG gun a couple times you'll be an old pro at it. Thanks for the visit earlier!
Well found! Great desk with lots of exciting things there today.

See, when we are not looking, we find things. That's my strategy - don't even try to look, it will find me..... eventually!
Happy very belated WOYWW!

My knife is missing in action as well.
It always good to find things we are missing , I think that happens to me all the time . Most of the time its just like you said on the floor behind the desk.
For being number 1 this week, I've sure taken a long time to return your visit. All I can do is blame it on Blogger and my life getting in the way of computer time. I got a good laugh at your clean-up. You have NO IDEA how many times this neat freak has found something I lost after a good cleaning. Way to go.
I forgot to tell you, Sharon. The ONLY place I found a Gelli was at gelliarts.com I think they make it so you MUST buy it from them. It took me three years to get mine. They are sure not cheap, that's for sure. BTW, Bleubeard got it for me for Christmas. Bless his pointed ear self!
That's great that you found what you were missing. Love peeking into your space :-)
