IT IS UP TO YOU TO MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION AS TO WHETHER IT IS FOR YOU OR NOT.
There are two different schools of thought on this out there and if you see Ciara's comment on this post you might want to keep it on - if you are considering it please read what she has to say on the matter. (Rooted, Permission to Mother are two blogs I read who are for it being turned off)
If you want to do it here is how I did it:
Go to Design
then Settings
then Comments (blue tab underneath)
Scroll down - 3rd from bottom it says Show Word Verification
Click No (to turn it off)
Then go to orange button at the bottom and Save Settings
Now to my desk! Decided to take a different view in my craft room this week.
As I am sat at my desk, which you usually see, this is the wall area to the right of me. It is full of those little cubby holes from Ikea, each filled with different things. In the top left corner you can just see the end of my "tick" which holds my craft dvd's and videos. Can you see my Cinch? Well to the right of that are some of my purchases from weekend - some Inka Gold pots and some Crafty Notions sprays. Still got to find somewhere to keep them as the drawer with the others in is full.
Behind my Cinch are some of my books - dare not tell you how many craft books I have - I am a craft book aholic and above them in a cubby hole are my Adirondack Color Washes, Liquid Pearls, some large ink pads, Reinkers and envelopes. To the left of the picture the cubby holes hold micro slides and holders, Cinch binders, A6 cardstock and oversized stamps.
This is the view below
Don't even go there with asking me what is in these drawers. Let's just leave it that they are full of craft stuff - and the cupboard? Bit of a jumble. Or should that be jungle! By the way - the two bins - one for recycling paper and cardstock and one for general rubbish.
Why am I showing you this - because the lovely Julia, over on The Stamping Ground, has got us all going. We show our desks each week and visit others - surprising what you see.

Anyhow, Tuesday night I was busy finishing off my "Book of Wisdom" from the weekend. If you read Monday's post you will know that I left part of it at the hotel so Leandra kindly sent me the bits I needed and I have now completed it. Didn't get chance to download it yesterday as I had to finish my German homework off and get it sent in - class on Thursday morning. Oh heck! Two weeks off and I have forgotten it all.
This is it closed. Sorry for the standard of the photograph but I did do it several times - think it was the light bouncing from the metal (even though the flash was off).
Now to show you the inside.
The papers we used are all the new Paperartsy ones - Leandra told us all the requirements they had made of the manufacturer - they wanted this paper to be special and it certainly is with all its properties. If this looks a bit misty I must point out that I gessoed over it and then smooshed it with paint and glazes - yes, it stands a lot of crafty messing about with. Here's a closeup of the owl
The paper in the background is actually a map and I have included a special bit of the map. The metal flowers I slit on the edges of the petals so that I could give them some shape - doesn't really show up in the photograph but it does in real life.
Well, that's it for now - off for a snoop at some desks. Sorry if I did not make it to yours last week - I gave up somewhere in the nineties because the weekend got in the way. Thanks to all who left comments on my desk - I really love reading them all.
