So I always really enjoy looking at how other people have their desks set up. I read through a lot of photos like this as I was looking for a desk over the summer. I’m all about seeing different set ups! So I’ve been meaning to do one for a while, but I’ve just now found a set up I like!

notable items:

trexi figure: awesome DIY action figures. I liked the idea of just having a pure white one, but I think I want to get some more and get creative with them ( www.jumper.it/gallery/trexi/ )

Creative Sparks book: I would be lying if I said I’ve ever used this book as it was probably intended. I’ve never picked it up when I was particularly uninspired and looking for something to do- but I’ve really enjoyed thumbing through it every now and then! ( www.amazon.com/Creative-Sparks-Concepts-Exercises-Ingenui… )

HP C5180 printer: absolute best printer I’ve ever had. Hands down. Exceptional photo quality. I’ve had MANY "photo" printers that always ended up doing terrible jobs (I’m looking at you Epson & Canon), but after being so happy with our old HP PC, I decided to try an HP printer…SO happy I did. It’s a bit noisy, but that’s an incredibly small price to pay. And speaking of price, it’s pretty inexpensive, as far as good printers go!
