I did it.

After barely unpacking only to pack again for the past couple of years, it was time to really organize my supplies.  In this house, with 3 kids, I am not lucky enough to get my own room dedicated to crafting.  I was inspired by a friend who used an armoire for her scrap booking, so I found one on craigslist.  I'm a bit embarrassed to even show these photos, but here they are.

Before,  I had begun unpacking, even made a couple of quick projects, I had ordered new supplies and rubber, but I really hadn't done much with all this, except for to create a big mess in my kitchen.

 

Yes, basically since we moved in it has looked like this, no it was better, but slowly got worse.  THANKFULLY my girls left things alone.

Then we were hosting a BBQ this past weekend.  Eric had Friday off, and it was D day.

 

Much better!  Okay not ALL my stuff fits here, but this is the most used items.

  

Eric moved the keyboard slide out up so that the big space could be more effectively used.  My CM cup holder even fits with the doors closed.

Now, I only need to make time, my supplies are at my finger tips.  Ahhh.....

Spring is in the air

We all are getting spring fever, getting outside to take in the fresh air and maybe cleaning out a few closets.

I have 3 mystery surprise boxes for the first 3 people to place a $60 order (before shipping and tax).  I can't tell you what exactly will be in the box --that's the mystery!, but I will tell you that each box will contain an unmounted stamp set, along with lots of other goodies.

You have until March 29th to get your order to me.

Since Sale-A-Bration is still going on, that means you'll get a free SAB set as well!

Home Decor

 

This is the level 2 hostess option for Home Decor.  It was really fun and easy to create this mirror, which I found at Ross which means it was a deal!  However, I got so carried away that I put the lettering on the mirror upside down, so I can't actually hang it on a wall.  Oops!  I still love it and love what it adds to our home.

 

This is one I really wanted to share with you before, but without my camera I couldn't...then I had a baby and well now I'm finally posting it.  Stampin' Up! has released phase 3 of it's home decor line and more is to come including being able to customize your own phrases!  Very exciting!!!  The new catalog takes effect Jan. 19th, let me know if you would like your own personal copy.
