My Studio

I wanted to share some more pics of my studio. I was asked to post them so some of the ladies in my classes could show their husbands and say,"see I don't have THAT much stuff!" I aim to please.

This is the spot I sit at most of the time. It is usually cluttered a lot more than this while I am working. I like to have all the things around me. I especially like to have inspirational things sitting on my shelves. I will share more over the next few days. Hope you get some ideas on how I organize my goodies, I get ideas from looking at others. Have a great weekend.

Studio Pics

I decided to show you another angle of my work space. This is where I sit MOST of the time. I have everything at arms length. The box in the lower corner of the picture is my "WORK STACK". I put new stuff in there that I buy, like stamps, punches, embellishments, inkpads or whatever, and use them before they go to the rightful place. I love those little blue trays. They are recycled from the hospital and I must have 50 or more and have shared many with fellower stampers and scrappers.. Not sure how well you can see the far wall, but there is a CD holder with my cling and unmounted stamps. I got this holder for $1 at the Salvation Army store. I have 3 others that I got at Ikea for $6, full. HUH?! do you think I have a few stamps? Of course, the mounted ones are in another spot, I'll show that pic another time. Did I ever mention I LOVE STAMPS? LOL. Let's see what else can I mention, oh the Tonics cutters. They are awesome. I have 3 different sizes, two stay on my right at all times and the other BIG GUY is under the desk where I keep my Accucut. The 12x12 here, is for scrapbooking and the smaller is for cardmaking, or little stuff.. I have two of the lazy susan's from MM one holds my Copics and the other frequently used tools. Well, I think the rest I have told you about on another post. Sorry if I repeated anything here. I have other pics I will share on future posts. I wanted to say I do this NOT TO BRAG!!!!!! I got so many ideas from others who posted pics of their studios that I wanted to share some of my ideas and ones I have gotten from them. Hope you enjoy!

Studio Peek

Good Monday Morning! I wanted to share another corner of my "escape" studio. I love my studio and I am so blessed to have 2 1/2 rooms all to myself! Okay enough bragging.. not really bragging I really am blessed!

So, here is a bookcase unit I got at Ikea earlier this year. I keep all, well not all, but most of my paper in here. I have it sorted by solid colors, pet, girl, boy, Christmas, card making only, coordinations and then of course all the varieties of DCWV tablets (12x12). I get them when they're 1/2 off. I had pretty much sworn off DCWV a while back because every time I'd cut it I got all these little "lint" like crumbs and never a clean cut. Not to mention I had to keep buying more blades for the cutter. Then I got a Tonics and WOW ! well, that's another blog.

But recently when I looked at and purchased, of course, DCWV, the quality of paper is 100 times better! They have added lot of good themes. The one I am watching for now is the Kitchen one. I thought it would make it easy to scrapbook a Family recipe book.

Most of the paper , as you can see are in plastic sleeves. My "Craft Sister" Connie V (CJ) blessed me with a bunch of them. I always try to put blessings to good use.

Well, that is the paper area, one of them. I seem to have a thing about paper....... hee hee

Have a great week, don't forget to check back there will be more!

Oh! I would like to say a special thanks to Maggie for making such a nice comment about the class on Saturday, it makes it all worth it when you know people take the time to comment and they really learned and had FUN!! that's the name of the game...
