Pictures for Wookiemouse

This is the view to the left when you walk in the front door. Where you see my dining table used to be a secondary living space. Right around the corner from the door is where the craft cabinet used to be - but I can't have it in one room and the shelves in another room. The dining table went in the other room and I had a big mirror on the wall and sconces flanking it. You can see how linear the space is ...just wait - the other living room is just to the right (next picture).

This the stamp rack - DH built it after a joke that we discovered stamp sets fit in the cutout.

Empty (ish) scrap room

Well, it's not as empty as I'd like (leaving a few things out so I can scrap a bit) but I kinda had this 'it's now or never' feeling.

I don't like my sad ugly shelves but they are a workhorse. I'm dealing with it being in the dining room as I'd like to be near the family - not stuck in my room.

Now I have to deal with lay out issues (move the shelves or not), 'zones', and weeding through stuff. I really hate that I have become a 'slave' to 'stuff' (you should see our garage!).

Our pool 'blew' out and we are trying to clear that up also. My son got his license yesterday so now I have a new worry on my heart. I really could use some good crop time. :)

I'm behind on the challenge, but committed to see it through. Off to weed through more idea pages..

I'm not Lance coming in third for the day...

Oh what tangled webs we weave when first we try to ORGANIZE!
(sigh) S0.... after reading the first two weeks, then tearing madly into things only to slow down and actually tango with the challenge and find I need to pack it all up shelf after shelf... Here I am...sadly still not posting my empty craft room as I found items to be placed elsewhere, but had to clean out 'elsewhere', and then started cleaning the garage so that discarded items would fit until I dispose of them.
I was going to take a picture of me face down on the floor giving up for the day..but DH said it wasn't a very attractive pose... So I guess I'll go turn off the light in the garage, get back to 'elsewhere' and hope for pictures tomorrow.
On the bright side, I found a box of memorbilia in 'elsewhere' that has been sorted, posted 4 sales on Craigslist and 1 on Ebay for items I'm clearing out of my craft room which means I'm on my way to more Cropper Hoppers that match and antiques for the room (eventually). (I think my ADD is showing).
Farewell friends, Jo
