Whooo hoooooo....

It's Friday!!!!  Whoooo hoooooo!!! It's Friday!!!!  And I have to say I am soooo looking forward to spending the weekend with my hubby!!!  This week has been kind of crazy for both of us, he has come home pretty much late every night this week.  Then when he gets home he is nothing but tired - so he eats dinner, lays on the sofa, falls asleep, gets up and then goes to bed!  So it will be nice to be able to reconnect!

I thought today - I would share my crafting room re-do with you!!!

Here in the rental house there is a "bonus" room.  The owners of the house used it as a guest bedroom.  Well you know me - I have to have a studio to work in.... and since there are two other "guest rooms" in this house - the bonus room became my new "studio"!!! 

Now you are probably wondering why do I call it a studio?!?!  Well since this room was sooo much larger than the room I had in our house in Savannah, I was able to create not only a scrapping/designing area, but I was also able to create a "sewing" area as well!!!  Yipppeeee!!!  Yep that's right, I no longer have to put up all the scrapping stuff to get out all the sewing stuff, and I no longer have to put up all the sewing stuff to get out all the scrapping stuff!! SWEET!!!!

So here is the bonus room when the owners of the house lived here -

And here is the new and improved "Studio" - (remember you can always click on a photo to get a bigger view!!)

This is the scrapping side -

And this is the sewing/storage side -

Can I tell you I just love love love my space!!!!  The only bad thing is that it is upstairs - so it is a little hard to be able to work and get dinner ready.... but over all - I can honestly say this space makes me happy!!!!

And speaking of HAPPY are a few of the items in my studio that really make my heart sing -

My laptop/printing/cutting station!!

My "Army Wife Mrs Clause" that my mother made me!!! How awesome is she?!?!?

My Inspirational Layouts (I switch these out from time to time!!) -

My re-purposed sewing chair!!! (This was my granny's old sewing chair that was passed down to my mother and then passed down to me!!  I wish I had taken a before photo - but it was a beat up brown wood with a pretty ugly pillow covering.  I painted it white and used the fabric I have used for everything else in my studio to recover it!!)

My Ribbon Jar's!!!  I have tried a lot of different ribbon storage and this one really works well for me - plus it is pretty!!

My "Scentsy" warmer that my sister in law gave me!!!

And the shelf that holds my "God Parents Tile", my old china doll, my FRG plaque (one of the HARDEST jobs in the Army) and then my Richard Petty Driving school certificate (where I drove on the Daytona 500 Speedway at 153 miles per hour!!!  Whoooo hoooo!!)

Can I just tell you I love love love my studio!!!!  (I have to admit I kind of dread the thought of going to a smaller space down the road!!!)

Hope you enjoyed peeking in on my designing area!!!  And I hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!!  Make sure you take time out for you and your family!!!

Until Next Time!

How did it...

So how the heck did it get to be Tuesday?!?!  Where oh where did Monday go?!?!

Actually my Monday was beyond hectic!!!  The day started with hubby calling to say he had left something he really needed for work could I meet him half way on the drive back home - so I jumped up out of bed got what he needed and started driving.

After meeting him on the road, I went ahead and picked the dogs up from the kennel (since I was already out and about)... then it was home to bath both of them.  I remember why I don't bath them now - it is a huge pain in the rump!!!!  Two hours later....

I started laundry, paying bills, getting out my father's day cards and birthday cards, shipping back some returns and shipping out an order, and then the ADT guy showed up. (We had an alarm incident and they were coming to verify the equipment was working properly.)

Then I designed two new files!! Yipppeee!!!!  Took an order for 70 Military Tiles, placed an order for supplies to get that tile order completed and then the next thing you know - it is time to start supper cause hubby should be home soon.

All of a sudden there was screaming and shouting from the next door neighbors house, my dogs were going crazy, so I went out to get them - and low and behold the neighbors daughter is caught up in a fight with her, I guess now, ex-boyfriend and some other chick.  I tried to defuse the situation to no avail... I go inside and the next thing you know the Po-po are in the neighborhood!!!  They came knocking on my door to see what I knew...  shesh!

Hubby gets home, dinner is far from ready.... and yeah well that was my Monday!!!

Hope you Monday was better - and I hope you have a GREAT week!!!!  As for me.... I am off to get some designing done cause then I need to start on that tile order!!!  No rest for the wicked!! Bahahaha!!!

Until Next Time!
