A Quick Update and Some Craft Room Pics...

I wanted to take a minute to update everyone and say I’ll be back on Thursday, for sure and to thank you all for your patience.   My internet is fixed and so are my TVs!!!  Yesterday the last technician was here and the house is even back together.  With 5 TV’s the whole house seemed trashed. 

I even got to thoroughly clean my work area.  So I thought I’d show you some pics of it.  Just ignore the backgrounds, we are in a constant state of remodel in this 1850’s farm house.  (another story for a later date)

I got an office cubicle from an Insurance Company that was relocating a few years back.  I don’t use them as a cubicle, I spread them throughout my room.  I love them, a bit of Rubbing Alcohol on a rag, cleans them up like new.  Luckily SU came out with a new style of Punches, otherwise I wouldn’t have anymore room for them.  There’s a spot on the unit that the punch slips right on and they stand up.

This is my computer area... the steps leading downstairs are right behind the desk and there is supposed to be a half wall between the steps and desk.  But, its not done. 

This next spot is to the right of my Computer.  These shelves is were I store non SU. IMGP1918

Now this is my favorite spot... its where I color and watch TV.  Good picture of Brian.  lol  Right behind my chair is my stamps and inks, etc so I can just reach around and grab em.  I got the stamp storage shelving from work.IMGP1917

All of my Coloring Supplies are in Steve’s tool organizer there on the left, that I stole from him.  Actually I ripped off 3 of them.  They are awesome for storage if you don’t mind the color. IMGP1927

The 2 above is part of my walk in closet.   Yup, thats Annie...  lol 

The one below is to the right of the closet and where I love to stand and put together my cards.  I raised my old kitchen table 5” using those things you get at Bed, Bath and Beyond that raise your bed.  They are awesome if you stand do your cards.  I bought the Cuddlebug long before I became an SU Demo and I just use it for embossing folders.  I so love my Big Shot!!!IMGP1914

Under my table is my garage sale card table that I had Steve cut 5” off the legs and now I use it for my Ribbon Storage and different things so I can just pull it out when I need it.  So handy and easy.  My garbage can is right under my cutter and I just pull it out a bit and let the scraps I don’t save go right in the can.  IMGP1947I hope you enjoyed my tour.  I was going to repost something I made way back that you might of missed and then thought I’d just post my studio since I’d straightened and cleaned it yesterday.

Have an awesome day and I’ll be back on Thursday!!!  Hugs to all.

Love your room! I only wish I was as organized or had that much space for my things. I always say there's no such thing as too much stuff...but there is such a thing as not enough room. And I appreciate the little peek at Annie again.

If I was closer, I would come over and play. Your space is awesome. I love love how you store your punches.

Melissa said...

I love organization! Sometimes I think I spend more time organizing than creating! Love your space! You live in a farmhouse? Can't wait to hear that story one day!

Wonderful, wonderful room! I so loved this tour and getting the inside scoop on you! :) I also needed some of these organizational pointers. TFS!

Carla! I love your "corner" -- I am so envious of your wonderful space. What a nice place to get creative! XOXO

Linda Callahan said...

This is just so over the top amazing! Wow what a room! A wonderful space for a wonderful artist :)

Pam~ said...

Thanks for sharing your corner. So inviting and has lots of wonderful goodies too! :) I like how your punches are stored. I need to do something with mine. I keep 'em in a basket and it is a pain. It always seems the one I want is on the bottom.

I just love how organized you are! Your room looks like a store-so many things to play with. Alas, my cleaning of the craft room did not get done again today! I'm going to take some before and after shots when I get around to doing it! It'll make me feel better, I'm sure! Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow! I wish I had a stampin' room! This old Dirty Girl just uses the dining room table! This is fantastic!

Hi Carla, I took the tour of your crafting room and it's great. Such organization, like one of the other comments I sometimes think I love the organizing part almost more than the card making...is that possible?
Anyhow I think your alligator card is so stinkin' cute and what detail you created to make him/her puffy! The lady bug card is as adorable & what a great idea to emboss on top of the pattern paper, I love that idea. I'm sure your Paige is gonna luv it!
