Craft Room Organization

kanga and little roo

By

Life has been really crazy over here lately.  In the past month we: moved our daughter and son-in-law into their first house; moved our other two children off to college, in opposite directions from our house; moved our business, Stamp-n-Storage, to it’s new location; and continued working on my craft studio remodel.  I have mostly moved back in, but there are still trim details to finish up.  I can’t wait to give you a full tour!  For now, how about a little teaser?

I just LOVE how the top of my Ikea Kallax came together. (thank you Hobby Lobby!)  It really makes me happy to look at.  Which is good, since I spend a lot of time in here!

At the beginning of August, before our youngest two moved, we all went to see the new Winnie the Pooh movie, Christopher Robin, together.  Talk about hitting you right in the feels!  Such a sweet movie.  I love Pooh Bear even more now.  I thought I would share today’s card in honor of a sweet mother and son duo from the Hundred Acre Wood – Kanga and Roo. (Ok, so in this case, Roo is a Koala, use your imagination)

Kanga Happy Birthday - Center Stage Stamping

Coloring this duo was so easy with my Stampin’ Blends and the Animal Expedition DSP. A delightful birthday greeting for any age!

That’s a wrap for today.  I’m heading back to work in my studio – creating and cleaning!  Plus I am working on a special project for a class I am teaching for the Grand Opening of Stamp-n-Storage’s first retail space!  Check out details on the class and other Grand Opening activities here.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon and join me in putting a spotlight on creativity!

studio makeover update

By

I thought I’d pop on and give you a quick update on my studio remodel.  Progress is slow, but there is progress.  There is a definite trade off when you tackle remodel projects yourself.  You save money, but it often take longer because you have to find the time in the midst of everyday life happenings to work on it.  My darling husband is so awesome for taking this on.  I truly appreciate all he does for me.

This past week he got the walls taped, mudded and painted.

and over the past two nights he installed the new flooring!

I just LOVE that floor!  Lights are back up, too.  We are adding more of the track lighting and that still needs to be installed.  Plans are for my desk to be installed this weekend! I am getting so excited to move in, organize my supplies and to decorate the space!  Stay tuned…

we interrupt the regularly scheduled program

By

Summer means construction season, right?  So why not a little studio remodel?  After some not so subtle hinting, my husband finally agreed that it is time! My posting last week was pre-empted due to Brett giving the green light for things to get started. So, we boxed up everything in my studio

and I moved out to the small desk in our kitchen for the time being.

It is a bit difficult to create in such a confined space, but it will be so worth it!

Now that I am situated in my temporary space, I hope to have some new projects to share soon.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!
