My New Craftroom!

So, it's been a long time coming... I bought my house a little over a year ago, and had FINALLY settled on a color scheme for my craftroom.

Let me be completely honest... I have NEVER painted a wall before. I grew up with WHITE walls, and I like them very much. About two years ago, I made pact with my friends and said, "When I find a house, I will have at least ONE room painted..." and from then on, I tried to settle on colors. These were a mix of my four FAVORITE colors, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome...

This is the room before... it was so bland and annoying... it was hard for me to focus, but served its purpose...the shelving, I had attempted to paint, but turned into a hideous color, if you can see the top right corner... the dark green abomination...

I basically used what I had, and attempted to organize my equipment to an area that would make me happy... I was constantly knocking things over, and frantically looking for EVERYTHING! 

NOW 
Nice and Organized!!! I painted the walls (with some help) and the table.


The "ProvoCraft Station" is by far one of my favorite areas!! In each drawer houses my cartridges, vinyl, gypsy, dies, embossing folders, and anything else made by Provocraft. It's the most organized I've ever been!!

Just some random activity...

So, I've been a little let down by my most recent card. I feel like I've lost my "Mojo"...or maybe I never even had it. Nevertheless, I'm doing what I love, and I'm going to start posting a lot more projects (not just cards)... 
This card was originally going to be a Birthday card for my friend's son... but I wasn't satisfied with it, so I decided to keep it. I'm posting this to document my (hopeful) progression. :)

This was originally a submission for a challenge... but when I forgot the NAME of the challenge, I figured I'd let it go... This was one of my first times utilizing the gypsy to join the letters together :)

This was my first experiment with twine... it was SUPPOSED to be a submission for a challenge, but it was last minute, and It still seems like it's missing something...


Well, that's it for now... more to come, I hope :)
