My Craft Room

     I have had quite e few people ask me to post pictures of my crafting space. Over the years I have looked on Pinterest for ideas on storage and re purposing furniture so I thought I would show you what the end result is from all that inspiration.  So I took a few pictures to share with you.  I hope you find some inspiration or come up with your own wonderful ideas.  This is an ever evolving room so I am always on the look out for new ideas.  Granted it took me 2 days to clean it up enough for pictures  LOL.  If you all are anything like me I work best in a mess.  If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post.







 
 
 
 
 

     The very large piece of white furniture that takes up the whole wall used to be the cabinet that surround one of those large TV's that stood on the floor,  so when we upgraded to the flat screen I took boards cut them to the with painted them and used them for shelves.  as you can see even my side table hold paper.  The Shoe rack is for the finished cards it is the best thing I have found to keep the separated by need.  All of the white cubbies over my desk and that hold stamps are from Target. and all the other containers come from Walmart , Staples and Michael's.  If you see the tubs I have holding my ribbon they actually were from my Dogs Treats Pupcorn containers. So if you have any questions or comments I welcome them.

Acorns Abound

     As some of you know this blog started as a Cricut card site and has now become much more Stampin Up than anything else.  Well the next few things I am going to share are a wonderful marriage of the 2.  This was made for my BFF Becky's nephews first birthday party, and they really turned out wonderful. The theme was woodland creatures and acorns.  Included are the treat bags that are made from Stampin up products,  The high chair banner and the Happy Birthday banner that were cut out on the Cricut and all products used were Stampin Up.  I will put a list on the bottom of all things used.  I hope you like them and get inspired yourself.
