NEW CRAFT ROOM!!!


I now officially have a craft room! I started painting on New Years Eve and on New Years Day it was all put together! Starting the year off right! It was on my list of goals for 2010 and I've already completed it! I went from a kitchen counter.. to this. I now have cabinet space in my kitchen, YAY! I am absolutely in LOVE with it! I still have lots of craft organizers I need to get, especially for scrapbooking. Sorry for all the pictures, I couldn't help myself. This is the first big project I've done for myself and had an absolute blast putting it all together. I call it my woman cave. I can sit in here for hours and just create!

Here is the before picture, keep in mind this space was completely empty until 2 days ago!


Everything is so neat and tidy, I hope it stays this way...


I'm going to start sewing today, I wound my first 2 bobbins yesterday. I love my new polka-dotted sewing box.


I've been a busy girl rolling all that yarn.. Still have more to do, who wants to help?!!


I painted the walls Cozumel Aqua. I made the finger garland in bright orange and made bright pink pom-poms for a cute added touch!


I still have lots of room on my garland for inspirational pictures to hang. The first row are my words of encouragement and the second is my creative Inspiration. I can't wait to get Jamie's painting to go on the top row! What I really want is to have something from each of my friends hanging on my garland. So if anyone wants to just write a sweet note or paint something cute I would LOVE LOVE to hang it up! Let me know!!!




Don't you just LOVE that pink shag rug?


My little Happy Mail station.

Hope you guys enjoyed my pictures! Off to work on some cute projects for my friends and write some more Happy Mail letters! Love you guys!!
xoxo,
Lindsay
