My New & Improved Craft Room!

Hello, my friends! I hope you are having a fab week! I'm so excited that my new craft room is finally finished! Thanks to my bestest friend, Megan, who helped me with the whole thing - including the motivation to get it done. As I mentioned in my last post, I had been living with a highly disorganized craft room for way too long. Our contractor friend did the built-in shelves for me, which I absolutely love! So, here it is - my new favorite place!....

My desk/work area

New built-in floor to ceiling shelves. To give you an idea of how deep the shelves are, the Cricut cartridge cases on the top shelf are 3 rows deep. There are about 150 total.

Lower shelves

My babies! My Imagine machine is broken, so now it serves as a $400 shelf for my Expression 2.

 

 

My embossing desk/area (and my sleeping baby, Lexi)

My awesome view!

Well.... there you have it! Thank you so much for taking the time to check it out!

A Heartfelt Thanks

Hello my fellow crafty peeps! I hope you are having a wonderful week! I am so excited because the remodeling of my craft room starts in a few days. This is a long overdue project & my room has become such a disaster. Since we moved here my theory has been "oh well, just put it anywhere cuz I'm gonna re-do it soon anyway." Yeah well.... that was 3 years ago, so you can imagine the disorganization that surrounds me by now! I'm just looking forward to being able to see what I actually have, since currently there are just stacks & stacks of things everywhere & so much of my stuff is just buried.

Anyway, I do have a card to share today, so I hope you like it. This is kind of a different style for me, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out....
