My Studio (doesn't that sound so 'professional'...LOL)

We are showing our craft rooms over at the Pazzles Craft room and I'm going to share mine there, but I needed to put my photos up somewhere, so I figured this was the perfect place. I have come a LONG ways from when I first started this.

I'm still going to be adding things, and I will try to update that here as I do, in the meantime, here you go

This is what it looks like when you come in the door.

This is my favorite thing. I got this piece at an auction for $1.00. I stained it and now it has things that are precious to me in it. A hat my Grandma made me when I was about 4 years old, my dad's harmonica, my Grandpa's Oil Pencils (he was a photographer), books from when I was very little. Just love this.

This is my closet. I took the doors off and built in shelves. I still have some work to do here, but it is workable now.

More of my closet, but I wanted to show the rod that is going over the top. This is where I put inspiration pieces. I just cleaned it off and will start adding other things. I also plan on putting words above this, I think I'm going to use 'Be Inspired' I haven't decided for sure yet.

This is where my friends (usually Stephanie) sit when they come over to hang out. I also have my printers over there and some 'office' stuff.

There is my favorite tool of all time, my Inspiration. It is under the AWESOME cover that Roxanne made me...it is reversible and says Nebraska Cornhuskers on the other side. I also keep some of the cards and gifts that people have sent me on the shelves. They keep me inspired.

This is my area that I 'teach' from. Plus this is where I do my paperwork and all the fun stuff like that.

This is my scrapping/project area. I LOVE my room and spend most of my time here...if you don't believe me, ask my family.

What a WEEK or TWO...*grin

So, the last few weeks have been CRAZY GOOD. We bought our FIRST HOME and are thrilled, we close on July 16th. If you want to see it, you can go see it at THIS LINK.

The house in itself has been AMAZING, but I received AN OFFICIAL engagement announcement for my daughter and future son in law. They are getting married December 19, 2009.

So the remainder of this year is going to be VERY exciting. Just to highlight a few things that are going to happen before the end of the year:
1. I am moving to a new home in July.
2. I will be launching my registration for my 10 year scrapbooking convention that I put on, August 10th.
3. I will be having the convention the last weekend of September.
4. I will be going to South Africa the last part of October.
5. Family Christmas/Thanksgiving in our new home.
6. Wedding of my only daughter (we are doing the invitations and decorations, so I will be busy with that too.)

This of course is on top of the 'regular' Pazzles travel and teaching.
