Re-organized...AGAIN!

My husband and I are once again trying to re-organize. Does anyone else understand "re-organization" as another term for "can't find space for all of our junk"!? I'm not sure how much more we can fit in our apartment...BUT I love re-organizing because I almost always get a more organized...let's call it a paper crafting studio! haha! Doesn't that sound professional? So here are a few pics of my collection so far!

Most of you who have seen my room know that I only get half. The other half belongs to hubby. I am making progress in my take over though! So I have moved in some bookcases so everything is visible. Which helps when I am making things. You know, "out of sight, out of mind" I was never using the stuff I had that was in drawers or worse yet in the bottom of the drawers!

For all of you renters out there, I just wanted to show a close up of my "decor elements" from Stampin' Up! It is like a decal for your walls. I chose the definition "create". I think it is fitting for this area in our home! The great thing about these is that they are totally removable if you change apartments or change moods and want to decorate differently. I'll update you when I get some more! I am being indecisive, but I know I will get more.

Just a little close up of my favorite chair...in pink...that's why it is my favorite! It is not that comfortable! But you can also see that I have some rubbermaid drawers behind my desk. I use them for tools like my heat gun, paper crimper, envelopes, etc. And then it also creates another surface where I put my cuttelbug and even more paper.

That is my little tour. As I tell everyone my ultimate goal is to have an entire room all to myself and have a real studio! I'll invite you all over when that happens! Happy crafting!

My Hubby did a Christmas Craft!

I had some double sided scrapbook paper left over from my Christmas cards. So I cut it into little strips. Use your judgement and on the size of the strip. Ours were 1in x 2in. Then we simply took Styrofoam cones and straight pins and the decorating began. I also used little wooden blocks, covered in scrapbook paper, for the base. I wasn't sure how the finish the top off...so pine cones and ribbon seemed like a good solution. We were pretty impressed with ourselves! I think you could do this sort of thing for every holiday. You could make a valentine tree or easter tree...or my new favorite idea, a halloween tree...with spides and creepy stuff!
