Hi sweet friends
You should have seen my smile when I started to read all of the wonderful comments you have left. I just was itching to answer all of you so here goes:
Jo Anne, since you know everything about what I do here my friend, you are so right! I have not had the fun chance to enjoy my craft area yet. I have been so busy socializing (social butterfly me) I just didn't have a real chance yet. Hubby was commenting on it the other day when he saw me take pictures of my craft area hee hee. Oh and there is absolutely nothing wrong with your craft room except that your hubby should add bars to the windows for security. Like in my room there is a lot of money invested in them hee hee. But I love your room too. Wait I can also take more pictures of it when I get busy in here soon. It will not be as tidy ladies!
Pris, I know I am so lucky to have this space now. It all started about 8 years ago I was all over the dining room area which was forcing us to have our meals at the coffee table hee hee, but I do appreciate the progress over the years at getting out of the dining room to getting my own area in our temporary home.
Hannah, thank you. I do love to share and help whenever possible, this is my way to give back everyday for my appreciation to good friends in life and online. Glad I could help you!
Dianne (Australia), thank you for the lovely comment I will enjoy it for sure!
Mary, my friend, as you know we are travelling quite a bit and will be for the next two years, watch what you wish for.........you never know who could be at your door step one of these days! hee hee thanks for the lovely comments
Jo-Anne K, Thank you I am enjoying it but will enjoy it more when I can start messing it up like it should be, but I thought I'd take a one in a 2 year picture sort of a before and a after scenario hee hee. I am not tidy like this all the time. A craft room is a snap shot of our creative minds....tidy, no card making, messy room, call it an artist at work.
Alison (Kiwiali), that's a good question my friend, a few more hours at best! I had to keep my area confined since I am sharing a small corner of it with my sweet understand hubby of mine. But all he does in here is when he comes to use his computer at night and spend some time with me watching USA TV. It is very organized into a square O shape so my chair can slide from side to side and from back to front without any effort hee hee
Cornelia, like I said to Mary up above, you never know I could end up on your door step for help hee hee, I can just imagine the surprised look on your face, Nikky here to the rescue hee hee
Colleen B, I know, it is a start LOL if you ask me to take more photos in a month, I will be shamefully hesitating to take them without tidying up a little before I do so. But I love the closeness of everything around me.
Penny W, thank you for your lovely comment about being able to peek in my creative world. I am happier to be able to say that yes, I am finally getting organized for more card making. Thank you sweet lady
Janet in Scotland, you are right I am way up there in the clouds from being so happy I finally received my craft goodies! How can you read my mind? hee hee
Myra, I agree with you I am and feel lucky.
Catherine, thanks I will enjoy and thank you for your comment.
Dos, well my friend, it is all good for now, wait until I start making cards again hee hee. Yes I will galavant a little less and let my creative juices flow soon!
Beth, you and I and the rest of us crafting gals probably agree with that same thinking. I think there is always this part in us, that want everything clean around us just in case someone shows up, right? I know I do as for the rest of you. When it comes to visitors coming, while my room is messy I tell them woman at work and the mess comes with it. hee hee I show it with pride anyway!
My wide drawer cabinets (2) were purchased at IKEA, so are all the tables I needed for my craft area as I know they are established worldwide you can get them there they are called ALEX and on wheels so you can move them closer to you and the top is at a perfect height for my Cuttlebugging activities. This set up came after like I said before 8 years of figuring out what works best for me with what I have and use most, I like to access anything at an arm reach so I make the best of my crafting hours.
I also wanted to share with you that where I shop at this market downtown they have some really pretty ribbons they sell by the meter and some sell them by the spool. So I have gotten a huge assortment of really nice ribbons lately. I will show them to you so you see what I mean. That is all I have found so far to accommodate my crafting needs and double sided tape that I will show you as well.
Well, that's all for today, I hope you have enjoyed today. If you are interested in ribbon that you see just send me an email craftynikky@gmail.com
I hope you all have a nice day!
Hugs
Nicole :)
