Step into my "office"



I thought I would snap a few pictures of my craft room to show everyone. I know many people are curious as to how others organize their crafts. Everyone has their own system that works for them. Mine is a work in progress as is the decor of the room. My roommate often jokes that if you can't find me anywhere, I'm in the craft room....which is mostly true! Lucky for me, I have a fabulous landlord that has let me paint and hang whatever I want on the walls. Thank you Susie!

This is where the creative process occurs. I have space for others to come scrap with me, like my mom who is always trying to tap in my brain for crafty ideas.


I love this bar from Ikea! Not only is is great for holding punches (as you will see soon), it's great for holding your crafting tools. I used s-hooks that are from Ikea to hold my scissors and the white containers are ceramic flower pots, also from Ikea.

There are those fabulous Ikea bars again! The basket hanging from it holds any additional punches that won't fit or are too little for the bar. This area is also where I store my cardstock. I just went through my cardstock collection today to do some revamping. Stampin' Up! just revamped their color collections so I had to re-sort what I had according to the new colors.


This has just about everything I use...stamps, printer, ribbon, embellishments, additional art supplies, etc. The best part is that it is right by my chair and table. EASY ACCESS during projects.

That's it folks....my little piece of crafty heaven on Earth. Mi crafty casa es su crafty casa.

VERY FIRST POST


Hi everyone! My friend, Heidi in NYC, has yet again talked me into doing something very cool...a BLOG! I follow quite a few blogs and have often contemplated doing one myself, but just never did. I'm a card maker, scrapbooker, soon to be art journalist (once I try it! haha) and full time special education teacher. Crafting is my escape from the world. Here are a few of my crafty projects to give you a little glimpse of my creativity.
