Painted

Last Friday my room got painted. It took 3 coats to cover my 3 little walls. The paint was super thick. It took a week before the room didn't reek of paint. Sorry little brother for the stench during your visit. I have been very slowly putting stuff away, mostly during the kids nap time. I stole an idea from one of my sister SBS3 with how I have my stamps displayed. THANK YOU and I'm sorry I can't remember which one of you posted the picture. It took me two weeks to find a CD holder that would fit in the space that I have. I haven't taken the holders for the stamp pads down at the old house yet so my inks are in baskets. I have two more cubes to put together that hold 12 x 12 paper. I have lots of space so any ideas on how to move stuff or display stuff would be greatly appreciated. I have lots of boxes to unpack still.

NO SCHOOL

Well today is the first day of Christmas Break and it snowed. Okay not that much, just a dusting. But it was enough to get me back in the holiday mood. My kids are at their preschool/after school program today to give me a day off and so Regan can go roller skating with her friends.

Last night Baker and I painted the corner of my room. It took three coats and was the thickest paint I have ever seen in my life. My mother-in-law will be here at 9 AM to help me get the house in order before my mom gets here tomorrow. I am hoping to get to unpack THE ROOM as Baker calls it today. If I do I will post some pictures. I might even get to do some crafts. I am so in withdrawal.

All Packed

Sob! Sob! I finally packed. I cannot believe how much stuff I had in my space. Here are pictures of my empty, packed up space. Tomorrow Baker is moving the boxes and cubes while I'm at work. Then I will move the little stuff.




This is the view from the stairs. I only packed the cube that had albums. Other wise I just pulled them apart so they could be moved.


Don't the shelves just look so sad!



6 big boxes. And a bunch of little things, like baskets, bags, and paper holders.

My New Space

The house is ours. Baker was nice enough to take pictures before he started unloading boxes this morning. This is my new craft room. The picture with mirrored doors is the side of the room that the day bed is going on. The second picture is where my area is going to be. My colors are going to be teal, green, and purple. The main color is teal. All the bedding and curtains are from my Mom who changed her mind on what color she was going to do her guest bedroom in. I am thinking about painting my corner teal as well and leaving the rest of the walls white. What do you all think?

My Craft Space

I still can not believe that this is my craft space. 5 years ago when we moved into this house I had two Creative Memories bags, everything fit into it. I used the dining room table when I wanted to do anything. Now I have the corner of the basement which we finished into a family room. While I love my corner, I love my new space in our new house. I get to have a craft room, 15' X 17', that I am sharing with the kids. They each have a table and an art easel. Tonight is the last time I will be making anything in my current space. Starting tomorrow, I have to pack it all up. We close on our new house this week and are moving this weekend. Anyone have any suggestions on a good way to pack all this stuff up? Anyone have any ideas on how I should set up in the new house? I will not be having an L-shaped desk at the new house, it is being divided into 2 desks.
