It's getting done

Soooo, after a long day. kids were all outta school today.. so was all about entertaining not only the preschoolers but also their school age siblings. I caught a bit of a bug this weekend. Which never happens. Maybe every 5 years do I get sick! been ickyish all day.

Tonight I decided no matter how i felt I needed some progress in my "nook". Got in there tonight and I am proud to announce after 3 weeks of procrastinating and pulling stuff out to do projects rather than cleaning it, it now has a floor and a desk top..... still working on getting everything else back in their places and hope to post some clean area pics tomorrow night!!! YAY motivation.

I was thinking, does your area ever get sooo bad that you can't walk in it much less work at the desk. Are yout he type of scrapper that it looks messy but is really just organized choas? Or do you have a spot for everything and after or during each project always have  it tidy? I'm always curious. As even when I say the "nook" is clean, it probably still looks a mess to some.... it's just my way! But i love it!!!

Had to SHARE!!!

I just had to share this link from Maya road's blog. I love their products!!! Their zipper trim is amazing but wanted to add as I always do this technique can be done with tons of different things... your imagination is the limit. I can't wait to play with it!

One of my GREATEST loves!!!

OK, I love allot about crafting. Far too many things to name. However, one of my greatest loves are Rolodex card holders. I just adore them. Everything about them! these are some I worked on and loved. I'm currently working on a carousel Rolodex... can't wait to share it with you all. Do you love a pretty Rolodex? So many options. You can alter as much or as little as you like and so many possibilities for what to do with the cards. I have done some with covers and some without. I love love love all of it. Just thought I'd share one of my greatest loves. I adore altering anything but these little things by far make me smile the most. If you haven't attempted one I def. recommend it. Use these as motivation and be sure to share your work. I love seeing what others have come up with. Gets my juices flowing.

Love that we've gained some followers!!!! I can't wait to get some more. Remember up for a giveaway right now is one of two altered vintage books I made. So, tell one, tell all. Still hoping to get to 10 members by May 1st in order to give one of them away!!!!
