I was a very good girl yesterday afternoon and had a Clean up of my craft room, I am going to swear now sorry
I even put the vacuum cleaner over the room to pick up all those little bits of paper and stuff that usually litter the floor
Hubby came home last night walked in to my craft room to say hello and straight away asked if I was ill or something because i had tidied up
This is the view of craft room as you come through the door
The first photo is on top of a set of drawers here I keep boxes pf made up cards and a pretty 12inch box file that I store my stamping up paper in
This is were I have some of my Scrapbook stacks that I use daily, All neat and tidy
This alcove is where I have put some of my stickles , glitter glues, glues glimmer mists that I reach for every day, Also has a magnetic board for tins and photos etc, Also store some of my fave craft CD here and back ups of kits I have downloaded of the web, usually pink petticoats, these are the ones I reach for the most, I have lots more In a box, going to buy myself a cheap CD rack from Ikea that i can decorate and store them all on the wall

Here is the back of my work desk Have a lovely flip down drawer that i keep my prima flowers in,
Also in the stacking drawers I keep my Pro markers
This is the shelf above and it has more flowers in jars, it also has a lot of ribbon the cream basket is full of reel and some of the jars are also stuffed with ribbon

Tuesday Taggers

Over on Tuesday Taggers They have asked that we alter something, I was working on this yesterday.And it is perfect for today challenge
Mum has walking difficulties and has just moved in with us, I have given up work to become her full time carer and she needs a bell of some sort so that she can let me know if she needs any help, well she kept losing it, so I had this wooden door hanger, I painted with White paint, stamped butterflies and small  flowers  over it using a stamping up set, sprayed with crafters companion glitter spray then when dry sprayed a cat of crafters companion spray varnish, then i screwed the door bell onto it, something pretty and easier for her to hold when she needs to ring without dropping it
