My Revised Stampin' Up Craftroom! Video too!

Boy have I been busy this past week! A week ago I decided to move my inks off of the foam core holder my husband made and into another storage unit, I had. Well that made me decide to totally redo the room and it has taken a week! I used to have a huge desk/art table on this wall. It was the kids art desk and was this long and about 5' deep. I decided I wanted a simpler look so I moved my cubes over here. I set up a little display that makes me happy! At the end, I posted a Video!

The display sits where the art table used to, on the one full sized wall. You see my craftroom is my Dining Room and you enter it from the left of these shelves through French Glass doors from the Living Room. It is flanked on both side by these tall shelves which I really want to take down!

Center Display where I can display the paper pack and cards we are working on for my classes. My classes are taught in the kitchen. This wall has the kid's art work from pre-school!

Other Shelf, Ottoman with Stampin' Up magazines and catalog for guests to look at. The Mini Catalogs are on those clips on the board on the right. "Gifts" are on the shelves for my blog drawings for people who order on my Online Site.

My very messy desk! I love the baskets on it though. It is a "ladder desk" See my blog on my computer!

Other side of desk, this goes into the kitchen

My work area or Stampin' Station.  This is where I work, well play because I love my job!

The full view. I know it looks crowded but right now it is neat, just for you! 

To the left is my little "mailing area". I run long distance hostess clubs and I have to mail their packages out to them each month. 

Wall with older style punches. Other punches are in drawers on on that shelf

Lots of storage under my desk. This is always neat. It is the top of my desk that is always a disaster! Even from making one little card!

Storage for my Clear Mount Stamp Cases. I found all the racks at a Scrapbook Garage Sale!

My "Big Shot Station" I used the Foam Core holder that my husband made and use it for my Big Shot dies. The basket has more. The container to the right has my Envelopes and Whisper White and Confetti and Natural Papers

My center island work station. This is for my little girl. I used the cubes I had and then added the desk tops. It makes a great area for my Big Shot and for one on one classes or just to have a friend over. My Classes are held in the kitchen.

My side, which I can swivel around from my work desk has my Stampin' Up Cardstock and Patterned Paper Stacks. Drawers have Stampin' Up Embellishements and tools

Overall view from the kitchen. French doors are to the left and bay window to the right. Oh it looks so ugly and busy from this view but it was worse with that big desk in there!

Ok, now I still have this huge mess in my Living Room and no where to put it! It was all in my kitchen this past week too! I wasn't going to let myself come out and craft until it was all put away, but this is going to take me forever. I see a "Craft Garage Sale" in the future when it cools down here.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed. Most of the storage areas are several years old and I am not sure they can be found again.

Busy, Busy, Busy here!

What have I been up to, you might ask? Or you might not care!
I have spent the last 4 days re-doing my Craftroom. Yes, again, again, again for about the 5th time. 
I used to have 2 big deep desks and one giant 4x6 foot 'art table" as I called it. My husband made it for the kids about 7 years ago. It used to have rolling drawer tubs under it but then I put jetmax cubes under it. Well Saturday night, after my workshop I started rearranging my stamp desk and stayed up till 2 am. Next day at 7 am I took out the big art desk and moved my jetmax cubes against the wall. I always wanted a long wall of them but due to the two tall shelves on the side, could only fit in 4. 

Here is the "After"  photo of the wall

I lost a huge workspace but it is neat and crisp looking. Oh that second glass door has two baskets in it too. Those magazine holders in the glass door are actually in another cube elsewhere. I am not sure about the wicker baskets. What do you think?  I do have wicker baskets on my tall shelves too. The tall shelves flank both sides of this new structure. I was so lucky to find the desktops when they told me they were not in existence any longer!

"Before" look- the big Art Desk- stored so much 

I loved the room much more open but then I decided to clutter it up some more and make a  double sided "workspace/desk" island in the middle for my little girl.

Here are some photos of both sides of the island. I still have my big office desk and my big stamping desk in here too and plenty more cubes.

All I have to do now is turn around from my desk in my lazy ole' swivel chair and I can reach my paper, my cutter and my Big Shot! I don't even have to get up!

This side houses my Stampin' Up Carstock and Patterned Paper Packs. The drawers have tools in them and some embellishments. 

This side has junky paper for my little girl to use. It is old and from the "craft stores" and I no longer use that paper. It is not as good as quality and does not "matchy match" but is handy to have around so my daughter does not have to ask to use my Stampin' Up paper on her school projects! She can have "free reign" on my junky junk paper but has to ask to use my Stampin' Up paper!  I even put a Grid Paper Pad on there for her to use.

 

I lost a lot of space when I took out the big table. You can look over to the right side on my blog and there is a video of an older look>>>>>>>

I will post when I have it totally finished but am just letting you know why I have not been around for days! 

Ok, I have not forgotten about my dear customers!

*Thank you for your July orders!
I greatly appreciate them!
*Remember if you order $100 in July you get a free catalog (with ship- $10 value!
If you "pre-reserved" your catalog in June, then you will get $5 back when you order $50 in July! 

I still have 3 spots left in my Designer Paper Share!! I am ready to order as soon as it fills up! Please reply soon! Please click HERE to view photos!

Also do not forget that the $99 Sign Up Special with free gift, ends on July 31st!! Please contact me right away if you would like to be on my Snowmanlover's Stampers Team! Please click HERE for more information what you get! 

Only a few days left!  This is too good to pass up! Don't miss out! Shoot me an email or go to my site at http://www.snowmanlover.stampinup.net and sign up! My password is oreo cookie, but I would really love to chat with you first!

Workshop Fun!

Well the Convention has been over for a week and it was a week of tons of work! I worked non stop on getting my long distance club orders out, my paper and ribbon shares and also on reorganizing my Craft room. {When I am finished I will show you photos}  Oh yes, I also had a Workshop at my home. I hold a class once a month at my home so if you live in the Dallas area and would like to join me check on the right side of my blog for my schedule and contact me!

We always make 3 items and this is what we made on Saturday

I actually did 2 classes that day on the same thing! I only like to take 6 at a time so they have more individual attention and I needed space for 7 so  I split them up. It ended up only being  6 so I guess I could have done it all together. Here is the morning group.

My sweet neighbor Linda

My wonderful, true blue customer friend, Lori, who makes every class and is always in one of my clubs!  Paula came for the 1st time and did a wonderful job! She found me through Stampin' Up, after stamping at her mom's out of town. What a sweet girl! We loved having you, Paula! Paula is going to Skype with her mom and show her the cards we made! Did she like them Paula?

Barb T. What a fantastic artist. She helped us with our coloring. I met Barb T. from the Message Boards! I am glad you started coming to classes!

And then there is me, Barb G, looking very tired after my crazy week. I am showing how I have an image of the snowman stamp on my hand!

Round 2 started at 4 and Amy and Maria came. It was a smaller group but we had fun!

I met Amy, at my daughter's Horse Show last month. It ended up that she recognized me from a blog post I made about a year and a half ago! How she recognized me I don't know because it was so hot at that horseshow that, my hair looked like a dandylion that day!

Amy

Marie, ah sweet Marie! Marie hung around afterwards till about 8 and helped me clean up. I think we could talk for hours. I just met Amy and Marie a month ago but I feel like I have known them both a long time. Maybe because we all are "talkers" (no offense)  Probably because they are both addicted to Stampin' Up like I am!

Here is a photo of the Morning Group's Scalloped Circle Cards. Didn't they do a great job! I worked them hard!

They each chose whatever sentiment they wanted from the Curly Cute Stamp Set

After they left, I stayed up till 2 am and cleaned one of my 3 desks! I then got up at 6 am and spent yesterday rearranging my craft room and took out my largest work area. What was I thinking!! If I ever get it all cleaned up , I will show you photos! I just can't find the space now!

Well I hope everyone has a great week. What would make my week even greater is to help someone sign up to be on my Snowmanlover's Stamp Team! Don't miss out on the $99 Sign Up Special that is good for one week only!

Happy Week!
