Re-Creation of a Den!

This is one area I am starting to fix and take over for my workspace...

Have cleared the shelves of books and bric a brac that was there and now loading with my stuff.

This is the desk I had in my sons room that now sit s in the den with my scrapbook things getting stored away slowly.....Below is the main computer desk where we all work out of and where I am blogging from now....At least it is clean.

The TV and gaming area of the room also Tivo an Movies......

The Den being converted to everyones space, now including my area for crafting and scrapping!

Still quit the mess even though have gone thru and gotten rid of a lot....Believe it or not....LOL

Thought maybe before pics would make me happier once I get all put away and stored....MAYBE MAYBE NOT!!!!! LOL

Well till tomorrow when I get busy again...

Long week possibly longer Weekend

Went to crop last night and got some stuff decorated for the craft area, but not ready to show my mass of mess. Had no idea how much I still had since all was in so many different places.

Last night took bunches of stuff I culled from my paper stash organized it in a little organizer so that I could take it each time till it was gone? Someone liked my job so well and the stuff they took it all....Wow

Not many in attendance due to this being memorial weekend but still had fun.

Gotta get on the ball and start posting some pic of what I am doing , but too darn tired.

Got a D decorated for over the desk area and decorated some little tart pans that I got last weekend that were missing their bottoms and they just screamed flower frame to me so beaded around edges and stuck pictures of my blomin' grandsons in them gonna attach them with a sayin' on a shadow box for on the wall.

Well I think I am gonna go to bed and dream of new projects and ways to organize my massive stuff for tomorrow.....

Sweet dreams to all

Cinderella

My Cinderella layout I finished this last weekend!
Attached behind the pictures on left top pictures are the lyrics to Stephen Curtis Chapmans song Cinderella. I am hoping Gods strength can heal their loving family after tragic loss of his youngest daughter last night and pray for healing for his son and for him to feel Gods presence thru all of this.

Weekend away at Stolen Moments Inn

Elements of "Circle of Friends" layout I did with pics of old friends and lyrics to song.....

New Friends on steps of porch of Stolen Moments Retreat!!

Stolen Moments Scrapbook Retreat facility in Maypearl Texas! link in one of earlier blogs.

I am exhausted but got more accomplished than I thought I would. Was loads of fun and met some wonderful new scrappy friends always... always... a plus.....Tracy of Create Joy Classes and Cheryl Darrow of Ten Second Studios and a new friend Michelle Rourke she just got her stuff to be a "Close To MY Heart Rep " All was great as usual in class except for some reason I stressed over the length but we had something like 20+ gals taking it with all the techniques...but man The gals were a hoot and so much fun to be around at the retreat, not that they got to retreat much at all since the classes Saturday for Cheryl and Tracy were 10am to 730ish, long day .......They have more get up and gumption than I have these days....

Over the next few days I will show you some of the stuff that I did while I was gone and My daughter and son-in-laws 70s party book I finished.

I am gonna have to work out tomorrow , and not sure my body will work out for me so we will see.

Happy Mother's Day although I'm Tired and no head way on project

Man my new fitness and Lifestyle change has got me dragging and also hurting in my muscles! Can't believe it is Mother's Day tomorrow! I am thankful for my crew but said for some that are having sad things happen at this time..But that is a very long story.....Started trying to put me an area for all my stuff so I could create without it all over the place and it is not easy. Think I have made a bigger mess than I had.....Not sure how this is gonna work and still have lots to clear before I get the desk in from other room for me......Till tomorrow!Man just Tried to get picture but battery is dead so until tomorrow after I get batteries!!! LOL

New program for me!

Well I took a matabolism test at the fitness center to see if it would help with my weight. And started doing the recomendations Monday, One of which is that I wasn't eating enough?????That would be a good thing you would think HUH? Well not for me ..Feel sick from trying to get in all the carbs and protein....And she gave me a new circuit workout with new weight routine...To say the least I can feel getting up and down and just trying to walk. Enough of my whining!

Hopefully I see some results soon or this is really the pits. My brain has not seen this much math since Algebra and Geometry in high school.....To say the least it has been a while..LOL

Hopefully It gets easier over the next 12 weeks...Keep you posted...Hoping to get to work on some projects tomorrow.

This angel was a class a couple weeks back from http://www.Tensecondsstudio.com I made her dress from tulle and a orange bag that I saved from my Wally world oranges.

Why Grandma's Redbirds?

My Great Grandmother Pearl told my mother stories as a child about Redbirds and the love and luck they bring with them...

Redbirds mate for life and never leave each other too far away.

When my mother Dorcas was passing she wanted me to encorporate the redbirds into my artwork as she had and so I have had the name and redbirds in my endeavors...

Long story short version..

maybe...LOL

My first attempt at a Blog

Well I decided it was time to attempt this and guess it will take a while to get it to look right and to be able to figure the in and outs of it....Hoping to see what I can create on here as well as posting some of my stuff good or bad.So here is looking to creativity.
