Okay...Okay...I'm totally kidding!  We are going to get moving, though!  I am always intrigued with crafty projects that have moving parts so....

What?  You would rather do the jogging one?  Fine.  Let me give you some fun examples of what I mean:





I cannot WAIT to see what you make!

A treat for you: Amazing Craft Room!

I    AM    IN    LOVE!



I have found the most AMAZING craft room ....  EVER!  (Yes, folks, this calls for CAPS!)

Head on over to Thompson Family Life to see a super fun, retro room (And I know this style is not for everyone, but, hey, I'm writing all of these posts, so I get to pick, right?)

Here is a peek from that room...but head over because she has lots of photos!



Really, though, pay attention to all of the wonderful details she has in her room!  It is the details that will inspire you and help you create a space (even if it is just a closet) that is uniquely you!

Challenge #2: Paint Challenge


I have one of these sitting in my craft room.  I found it at a yardsale for $3 because the person selling it thought it was a very inefficient jewlery holder.  HA!  I told her what it was AFTER I paid for it.  She said, "hmmm...that makes more sense!"  Now ask me how often I use my paints.   Wait...did you see my pretty paint spinner?  Let's talk about that instead! 

Challenge #2:  Paint Challenge:  Use paint on your project!


Here is some inspiration for you!




What is your favorite type of paint for scrapbooking?  I am in LOVE with crackle paint right now!

Organize This: Week 12



Ribbon, twine and fibers...anyone else feel like these can quickly take over your room?  They are so readily available, it is easy to collect them from packages and things.  Pretty soon you have a tangled mess on your workspace.

My Love Affair with the Label Maker has once again come to the rescue with a MASSIVE post of ideas!  Head on over there and get your tangled mess under control.

For me, I have my ribbon sorted by color, wound around clothes pins and sorted into jewlery bags.  (I hang them by book rings in my scraproom closet on the clothes rod.)  My lace and twine are stored in cross stitch floss boxes.


How do you store your ribbon, fibers, twine?

Rebecca's Kite Stories Page Kit

You are going to love the page kit that Rebecca has put together for us this month!

Introducing:  Kite Stories!





Putting together page kits is more managable if you have a busy month coming up.  Just pick a fun theme and pull a few papers and embellishments to fit that theme.  Throw in a sketch and you are ready to go when you have a few minutes.
