Making Progress

I'm very excited about the progress that we have been making to set up crafting space at my sister's house.We just need folding chairs and we will be ready to offer our first card class.There is,somewhat, of a lighting issue so I hope it will be sunny that day. As soon as I choose the cards we will offer I will post pics of them.

 Meanwhile, back at home, I am trying to organize things so I can easily get into my clothes closet and dresser. I don't even try to close the craft box anymore as I enjoy having the work table always available. Of course that means I always have "stuff" piled on it. I'd love to hear from others who have the craft box about how they organize the space and how much they do or don't like it. I love mine, but wish I had a dedicated room for it so that I could open the doors all the way. 

Thanks to facebook and Anna Griffin

I got one of those reminders from facebook showing a card I made two years ago and wanted to share it on my blog also.

I was so happy to see this one because it is one of my all time favorite cards. It is based on an Anna Griffin design. Along with thousands of other crafters, I love her products and designs and envy her talent.

Making Progress

Started, at last, to take items to my sister's house to set up our paper crafting business. My daughter, her son, and I made a valiant effort to break down and transport the first wave of heavy items from both our house and storage bin yesterday. Today I have been organizing and packing smaller items. In the end they are no less heavy than the larger items from yesterday. Lots of paper, punches, cutting boards, etc. Once we are set up my neighbor has agreed to help us set up a video station. So be looking for our first videos. In future I plan to film the making of the cards offered in my monthly card class.

I just couldn't help myself

After posting earlier about my new craft space I thought that it was about time I completed a coloring assignment from my Kit and Clowder marker class. I'm proud and excited to share it because it includes raindrops. I have been jonesing for a raindrop stamp ever since I saw one used on a tag I saw on Pinterest. Now I won't need that because I can make my own raindrops

Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful

Day after day of cold snowy weather. I don't even feel like getting dressed. And, since I am retired, I don't really have to. I spent a couple of days putting together and organizing my new Theresa Collins Scrap Box and have actually done a little crafting. I was hoping to go to my sister's today to help her play with her new crafting toys she ordered from HSN during their Crafting Special, but it looks like the weather may prevent that. We'll see how daring I get. If not, I still have quite a bit of organizing to find places for all my craft gear that couldn't fit into the Scrap Box. The fun never ends. LOL.

Update on Son in Law

My son in law just returned from urgent care and was diagnosed with kidney stones. While I am so sorry about the kidney stones I am relieved that he is not suffering from his good Samaritan efforts to get my craft cabinet installed.

New Craft Cabinet

Instead of being in Church this morning I am at home needing to rearrange my craft/bedroom due to the delivery last night of a Craft Box. For those not familiar with craft boxes they are cabinets which expand with hinged doors and include a work desk which folds down. I have been wanting one since I first became aware of them about two years ago. They are quite expensive so I never expected to have one, but my daughter found a used one on an internet sale sight at a much reduced cost. So, not only am I urgently needing to organize so that I can access the clothes in my closet, my son in law is now at urgent care for treatment of what we imagine is pulled muscles from loading and unloading the cabinet. Once the room is clean and organized I will post pictures of the cabinet.
