Ok, last round for now.

It's almost 3 AM!!! I think this will be the last upload for now. :) More pics of craft room stuff. The view straight in, looking again at the No boys allowed warning. Underneath the just cleaned out and reorganized drafting table (there was a LOT of crap under there before...stuff I forgot about!). My buttons and flowers in the glass jars lined up in my window sills. That side doesn't get any direct sunlight. So far, they're good (no fading). The one picture on top of the drafting table is of new goodies! Too cute stamps that jumped into my cart all by themselves at the scrapbook store (great impressions stamps), new Stampin up catty, and the new close to my heart catty...

More Pics! Aren't you excited?!?!

Hey there cyber people! Here's some more pics of my craft room that I keep re-organizing, and clean out. I do more organizing than I do crafting! This is my one dollar auction bargain. I repainted it to match my room after cleaning the dust and dirt off it. It was wobbly, but a couple shims fixed it right up. :) Those were free! Seems the pictures get revered on here when I post, instead of the order I think they are in. The top shelf is the one that has the white 3 drawer box (with bic/sharpie markers, gel pens, and other decorative pens in it, decorative edge scissors, and basket of prismacolor markers. The next shelf has a pink floral photo box, my large set of prismacolor pencils (still unsharpened...anyone want that job?!?!), and my small stampin up sets at the end. The third shelf has my larger boxed Stampin up sets lined up like books. Someone said that you aren't supposed to store them that way in high humidity areas because they will fall off the wood block. However, Stampin up has the background stamps lined up on a shelf like this in the new catty...So, who knows?!?!
The last shelf has the stuff I don't use much on it. I bought a box of leather samples at a yard sale for 2.00 that I still havent done anything with. I have the intent to! Intent without execution doesn't make anything happen.
More pics to come!

Picture mess & Organization Freak

I LOVE digital cameras and digital photography, but I hate trying to keep them all straight and organized! I have 2 memory cards (plus one for my phone, now that I know how to use it!). I take pictures mostly on one and use the other one to transfer. My laptop is being silly and will no longer read the card when I plug it in. Have to use the camera cord, and that is a pain in the rear.

So anyways...I've been sitting here for maybe an hour getting the new pictures I want to print on the "to print" card, and the new pics I don't want to print, but want to post in the right folders on my computer. I think I'm an organizational freak. Helps me to find them later though. :) Here's some to share!

I took more pics of my craft room since the first postings. I got some new shelves and organizers. The white ones are making memories. I got the wall shelf for Christmas from my teacher friends at school, and I got the desk organizer from my mom. I had the carousel already. The other white carousel is my former Pampered Chef turn about (that doesn't like to turn much anymore!) I took everything out of it, cleaned it as best I could, including taking out the little ball bearing things, and getting the icky off. It spins a bit better now, but for the purpose of my craft room, it's great! (I love their new tool turnabout! It's black, but it spins a LOT better!!!)

The big green bookcase type shelf was an auction bargain. One Dollar! It was dirty, and sorta not flat on either end. I repainted it to match my room, and put some shims at the bottom to keep it steady. I may put some vinyl design thingie on it once I find something I like. :)

I LOVE my Uppercase Living quote (or whatever it is they call them) above my room. No boys allowed! My friends got a giggle out of that too when they saw it. :)

I think I need another post to fit some more detailed pics. :) You have nothing better to do, right???

Nice Place for a Crafty Space!

I intended to set this up for my crafts/cards, and so far haven't gotten around to it. I took more pictures of my new crafting area today (during the day, with the blinds up!) so it can show off the view, and how nice the room colors blend with the nature outside right now. Also have pictures of my storage solutions for now. It seems like every few months it's changing! :)
A favorite touch is the sage umbrella! I found it on clearance at Hobby Lobby. The flowers in it were on clearance at my husbands work. So with his discount, they cost a whopping 92 cents! Not bad, huh?
This was our carpeted breakfast nook. We never really eat in it, unless we had guests, so it was kinda wasted space. Over a year ago, we had a puppy, and she decided to make the carpet her outside place. We gave her away, I ripped out the carpet and matting, and my father in law had to cut out the baseboard. We installed new baseboard, and Pergo flooring. Most of the items in here I "redesigned" for the space. The apple cloth covered table, was my 1st dining table. (We were given a bigger one, now in the kitchen.) The drafting table and other table were in my living room on either side. My father in law had 3 drafting tables, and gave me this one. I moved all the storage stuff into the new room, and rearranged for about 4 days. I ordered some new SU stuff for storage, found a matching green/brown striped "back to school" area rug at Target, and this is the result! I want to get some shelves (really the Making Memories embellishment center) to store my jars of buttons, flowers and ribbons. They are all in mason jars. Another cheap storage solution! Right now, they're just outta the way. Eventually, they'll be a pretty addition to the wall!
