Mother Hubbard's Cupboards....

I finally got all the cupboards filled :)  Took me a while to decide what *should* go here and there, but I got 'em filled up ...thanks for looking!

 

This is the left hand cupboard and it holds all my glitter, clear stamps, and miscellaneous stamping kits, and materials to stamp on.

 

...and this is the right hand cupboard.  The top shelf holds all my retired sets that I am keeping and the bottom 2 shelves are current sets. :)

Craft Room Facelift....

I bought some IKEA cupboards and rail systems, etc., and here is the work in progress....

BEFORE.....

 

AFTER:

We still have to hang the rails for all the punches you see on the desk...:)

AFTER:

 

We are not completely done yet, but it is coming along nicely! I still need the other rails put up for the punches, and I want to add some Decor Elements to the cupboards and possibly above my computer area. At least now I can have a folding table in my craft area and 2-3 ladies can craft with me :)

I'll add more photos as we get more done :)

What Lori Means

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. What's your name's hidden meaning? CLICK HERE! I found mne quite interesting! A lot of it is the absolute TRUTH...almost scary! :) Thanks to Julie Buhler for the fun today.

Sweet Treat....
