MY CRAFT ROOM!!!

Goodmorning and Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians!!! I just thought I would show you my craft room today. It's not how I would have things if I were living on my own. But I make do.

The desk is a computer desk that was my grandma's, I got it when she passed away. The place where I keep all my paper (the left hand side) was from Value Village I paid I believe $10 for it, the clip it up on the right hand side (AKA rotating shoe rack) holds all my stamps, embellishments, ink and stickles, I paid less than $19 for it at Bed Bath and Beyond ( here is the link to the post of what it looked like before Click Here ) The shelves on the wall my mom had from the old house but wasn't using them so I store the boxes that i have made on one and all my ribbon on the other.







This is a spot under the desk where I keep all my cartridges, it rolls our for easy access.

This is where I keep all my cuttlebug folders and my Fiskar embossing plates bins from the Dollar Store

My Scraps Before

My Scraps After

Before I got the new desk in my craft room I had all my scraps in a box looking like a hot mess (first picture). My parents were at Ikea and asked if I wanted anything so I went online to see what they had. I found magazine racks that were 5 for $2.99, they are cardboard but do the trick. I already had file folders from the dollar store, so I colour coded each one and placed them in alphabetical order in the magazine racks and now my hot mess is organized.

Hope this gives you some ideas on cheap ways to orgazine your craft room, I know I have looked on You Tube for ideas so that is where I got some of the inspiration from. Hopefully when I get my own place I will beable to have a craft room of my dreams and one that reflects my personality!! If you have any cheap ways you store your craft items I would love to hear them!!!

God Bless

Repurposed Bucket

I want to apologize for not posting any projects for the last two months.  I have been going through alot with court stuff and have been really stressed out and have had no inspiration or drive to craft.  Friday morning however all of that changed, my soon to be ex husband signed over custody of my daughter after almost 3 years, so know I can get a divorce and put the past behind me. Sigh of relief!!  Needless to say I am having a very good Thanksgiving Weekend!!

For todays project I want to show you something that I re purposed. Today I went to Michael's with my daughter and was just browsing. I saw that they had a bucket of 7 hole punches on sale from $16.99 down to $4.99 so I picked those up, I went to pay for them and they rang in at $1.91 with tax!!! I went and told my mom so she went in an bought a bucket.  I put them in the craft room and went outside to paint another re purposed item ( look for that post in the next couple days). I came inside between coats of paint and took the punches out of the bucket and then thought humm... what can I do with this:

Sorry for the bad lighting I just bought a new light for the craft room from Ikea but it takes European light bulbs so my dad is having to rewire it!!

What I used:

7 pieces of scrap paper cut 2x5 1/2"
ATG Gun
Cupcake Ribbon (Dollar store)
K Andrew Designs Stamps: Splash-tastic Summer (click on the link to buy them)

Thanks for sticking with me even though I haven't posted in awhile, I have more projects to post using K Andrew's stamps that will posted in the next few days. For those of you who are Canadian have A great Thanksgiving!!!
