Paper Storage

DSC_0001_edited-1

I’m curious, how do you store your card stock?  This is a photo of my card stock set up, not very elaborate but it’s very functional.  These are magazine holders with a piece of card stock on the front as a label with the names of the card stock it holds.  I just have the label taped on with packaging tape, very fancy indeed, lol.

The holders sit back in a bookcase and are on a wall where the sun doesn’t shine on it directly. This wouldn’t work in direct light from a window, the card stock would fade over time.

My Creative Space

DSC_0001

Hello there,

The last time I showed pictures of my creative space it was near empty and I was in the process of moving things in.  Well it has really filled up.  It’s a work in progress, which means I change things all the time to make them more functional etc.  Are we ever really done making our creative spaces our own?

There are two workstations, just in case I’m in the middle of one project and need to do something else or to stamp with a friend, which is the best!  If I remove the office chairs and put folding chairs around the desks I can seat 4 comfortably.

DSC_0004

I love the light in this room and I have a wonderful view of corn fields from the windows, lol.  That’s right, I live in a rural area and love it.

DSC_0002

I only keep current Stampin’ Up! products, but I have to have all  of it so, all of those stamps in the above picture are current stamps in the catalog.  It’s a sickness, I know.

Also if you look carefully you will see my Flat screen TV and Xbox 360.  It’s a little known fact that I am a gamer.  Another sickness!

DSC_0003

I have a large walk in closet in this room, but I don’t let anyone see it. It’s that organized, not!

Every bit of the furniture was purchased at Ikea and assembled by yours truly, all by myself.  Glad I don’t have to do that again for a very long time.

My Inkpad, ribbon, washi tape, Blendabilities and punch organizers where purchased from stampnstorage.com.  They make great storage unites that fit great in the Ikea bookcases.

My desks are clear right now so it was a good time to give you a tour.  My space isn’t the most beautiful I’ve seen, but it is oh so functional.

Thanks for taking the tour.

********************************************************

Have a great day!

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Huge Hugs!

My New Office/Stamp Room – Update

Many of you have asked how my new Office/Stamp Room is coming along.  Well it is not completely done but here are a few photos.

My New Room has two work stations for me.  One for office work and one for creative work.  🙂

Please excuse the bare windows, like I said it is still a work in progress, lol.  At least I am starting to be able to find my supplies.  🙂

dsc03285_edited-1.jpg

I have these bookcases on every wall for storage.

dsc03284_edited-1.jpg

I do have my flat screen and X-box 360 in the room.   This is for my breaks, lol.

dsc03286_edited-1.jpg

And of course, my stamps!

dsc03287_edited-1.jpg

I will take a few more photos after I have had some time to actually decorate the space.  So far I love it.

I will be back again today to share a tutorial.

Hugs,

Michelle

Office/Stamp Room Remodel and a Blog Candy Winner

dsc03167.JPG

After much prodding, lol.  Russ has finished his part in the remodeling of my new office/stamp room.  He has put a few coats of a light blue paint on the walls, painted the ceiling white and put in a brand new Pergo floor.  It looks terrific, but now I must do my part, lol. 

I have decided not to put in cabinetry, but instead went out and purchased around $2,000 worth of IKEA furniture.   I said to myself after looking at this huge stack of boxed, un-assembled furniture “WHAT WAS I THINKING!”  I purchased a really long “S” shaped desk, 3 super large bookcases and one small one.  All un-assembled!  Did I say that already, lol. 

Anyway, I will be very, crazy busy assembling and moving things into the newly redecorated room, along with packing for my trip to Virginia and North Carolina, which I leave for on Thursday.  Unfortunately, this will leave no time for stamping.  I can’t find my supplies right now anyway, grin.  I just wanted you to know I am taking a break from blogging this week.  Please, please check out the previous 311 tutorials until I am back up and running.  I will keep you posted on how things are coming along in my new room.  Wish me strength and wisdom so I know just where to put everything the first time around.

Before I close, let me announce the winner of the Stampin’ Up! set House of Haunts.  The winner is. . . . . .  . .drum-roll please. . . . . . . . . .  . . . . . .

Comment #169       Melody who wrote “Another fabulous card! And I just love this set and never got it. That owl in the tree looks just like one in our yard a couple years ago in the fall. Oh, please pick me!!
Your creative process amazes me. I really hope to be able to get in on one of your classes somewhere sometime — I missed out on the Phoenix one, already full when I heard about it.”

Melody, Congratulations on winning the stamp set.  Please e-mail your address to [email protected] within 30 days and I will ship this set out to you.

Thank you to all who played along.  Maybe it will be you next week!

Well I best get to assembling and moving. 

Until my next post. . . . . . . .

May your week be one of miracles.

Huge Hugs,

Michelle
