The Big Reveal - New Craft Studio

I've been talking about this on facebook a bunch.  We decided to exchange my craftroom for the family room and turn my old craft room in a movie room with 'stadium seating'.  So last Sunday we began this process with some good friends helping us move all my cra.... I mean crafty stuff into the family room.  It took about 4 hours but finally most of it was moved and a few shelves were hung. 

My husband is still trying to figure out how I had all this stuff in the smaller room.  The new space allows me to have tables up all the time for classes.  It's really nice.  Plus it's in the daylight basement so for our crop today it stayed fairly cool even though it was 90 outside.

I still have plenty of stuff to go through, organize, and get rid of.  However, this is way better than what it was.

Let me know what you think.

Fall / Winter Swaps are here!

Every new catalog my CTMH Director, Julie Reynolds, holds a swap.  She emails out a list of projects for each new paper pack and we email back our selections.  Then we make 41 of the same thing to send back.  In return we get back 1 of each item for a total of 40.  For all her time and trouble Julie keeps one of each for her display boards.

Here are the pictures of what I received.

Everyone did amazing work as always.  I hope you like it as much as I do.

A great article to read...

I was checking out the CTMH bulletin boards when I ran across a great article by a fellow consultant Kristen.  I was nodding to myself - yes I do that and oh I should do that.  So I decided to put a link to it.

If you're looking for good ways to back up your photos and keep from having them trapped on your computer where no one can see them, then check out this article by Kristen, here.

Thanks to Kristen for pointing out all the problems my little name change created on my blog too!
