Have I Gone Mad? Completely Bonkers.. But I'll Tell You A Secret.. All The Best People Are.

This is my life. An Elegant tapestry of quotations,musings,aphorisms and madness (tucked into these posts)

All crafters should have a space.. A place of their own. A place to dream up their newest projects, read a new book, hide from their children..  with a window seat.. Lots of natural sunlight.. a breeze floating in from the lake..  Oh! Excuse me... My mind wanders from time to time.. That was the room I designed for my big lottery win. However.. Lack of lottery winnings should never put a stop to you having a space of your own. 

This is my bliss.. A small corner of my living room.. Watch for me on Hoarders Buried Alive..  I made shelving out of 2 sets of baskets I found at Lowe's on clearance.. I was inspired by a post I saw on Pinterest. I have some Recollections storage cubes from Michael's.. 50% off coupons make me smile. I made a "paper clothesline" from twine and clothes pins Mod Podged with glitter.. I hang things I printed.. half finished projects etc. Did I mention I love Mod Podge? In the next few weeks I'll be posting some decoupage tutorials for anyone that stumbles in. Ok, back to the corner.. I have my bistro table turned desk.. my faithful tablet.. an old microwave stand and a side table I picked up free at a yard sale. Meager as it is I love this spot as much as I would my lake house office with the window seat. 

My friends say this little corner screams "OmgthisissoEmily!".. I think it screams, "Organize me!" 

I'd love to see some photos of everyone else's "bliss" email them on over.. I'll post them as I get them.. All craft corners deserve recognition. 

Forward March! Er.. April!

I LOVE journal cards.. I have an unnatural obsession with the little buggers.. I want to share some links to some GREAT blogs with tons of free journal printables..

I have links to a plethora of other sites and blogs dedicated to helping those of us who need some extra inspiration from our printers. 

An old playing card I altered with some Mod Podge, scrapbook paper scraps I had laying around, and a great quote from, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I distressed the words with Tim Holtz distress inks (sw00n)

An art journal page I made with grungy journal cards and  washi tape!

Bless you all for making it through another rambling post.. I'll get the swing of this blogging stuff soon enough..
