I have been Featured!




I have been featured at By Your Hands.
Bette contacted me about featuring my craft room(s). 
I was honored.  Deena and Bette do a wonderful job on this blog site. 
This is a wonderful blog full of tutorials, craft room designs, giveaways, last minute gift ideas, what you are creating...the list goes on.
If you haven't been there click HERE to go for a visit.
And notice at the bottom where it shows my unfinished basement there is an add for basement finishing!!  I had to giggle.  That will be a ways off for me!
Thanks Bette and Deena
Enjoy your day!

This could scare some of you...

 We were talking on the OFG Yahoo forum about craft areas.  I have seen some really nice ones.  One day I hope to have one.  In the mean time I am lucky enough to have a room in the basement, actually two rooms.  It is a bit scary....
I have an area to paint, an area for my books and some wood, and it is shrinking a bit because I now have the computer(s) in here too.  So when kids have to do home work I get to monitor what they are doing on the Internet-since I live down here. 
 I have officially taken over another room that is unfinished and it houses boxes of wood and now a multitude of frames.   Hence the reason for destashing on my Etsy shop.  So much wood and never enough time!
It is not pretty here at all but it serves its purpose.  I also have an area where I can staple on screen and do a bit of sanding.  For real sanding I head outside!
Love my air compressor!! 
Notice the boxes in the corner?  I love boxes-it is a problem and another scary thing.  Empty or full I have a huge stack of them.
As I was taking these photos my dad came over and dropped off more frames.
Then he proceeded to ask me "How many more do you need?"
Does it look like I need more?!?!?!
I guess if it keeps us both busy and out of trouble that is a good thing!  
I dream that one day I will have that perfectly organized, white, beautiful room but for now I am happy with what I have.  Messy or not it is home!
Remember to sign up for my giveaway!
Thanks for coming and taking a look-sorry about the dust!!
Enjoy,
Barb
