About Me

All About Me

Well, This is where I spend most of my time. Besides stamping I do my all my bookwork here. This is also where my younger kids and I do school.

My dear husband built me the nicest area in a small corner of our bedroom. It may be small, but it works perfect for me. I love organizing so I am always moving things to have them in the perfect place.

I keep my inks and re-inkers right on my desktop. I have my small paper cutter and scorer on top of my ink cases and my Table Top paper cutter right on my, well on my table top. Next to my scanner/printer I keep most of my embellishments the Stampin' Stack and Store is a perfect thing for an organization freak like me. I know the area above the monitor looks messy but believe me it is very much in order.

My Stamps are kept on the shelf above in size order. They seem to fit the best that way. I do keep the sentiment ones separate on the far left. I only keep the sets that are current on my shelves. Everything else must either be sold (gotta' have money to get new!) or my kids will claim them.

I do keep a stash of cards for me to use in the baskets above my sentiment stamps. I also store RAK (Random Act of Kindness) cards and Technique booklets in the other baskets. Besides storing my full size craft pads in my Color Caddy I keep my Watercolor crayons there too.

This is the pride of my room. My favorite (and only) husband made this for me last summer. It holds all of my card stock (both sizes), designer paper, ribbon, and extra things I may only need for classes. I even store my cardstock scraps here. I keep them in report size page protectors right on the top of their color. I was wasting so much before I started doing this. Now I grab the scrap bag first.

My son decided to make me another shelf to set on the end of my cabinet. It holds all my Background stamps, Wheel Cartridges and some craft items I may get around to stamping someday....

I have my adhesive hung on the 3M hooks on the side of my shelves. I hate to dig in drawers to find things I use all of the time, so these are nice and handy.

I am a stay at home mother of 6 kids. One has already flown the coop and one is in college so we are 1/3rd of the way to an empty nest.

We are celebrating our 24th anniversary this year. We actually can still stand being around each other . :)

I've home-schooled my kids for just about 15 years. I would have it no other way. We believe in a God based education. I am addicted to my kids, but know when they must grow and go.

I've enjoyed stamping for a little over 14 years now and have mainly always used just Stampin' Up! products. I became an Independant Demonstrator in February of 2006 and have enjoyed every step of the way. I love creating and teaching so this craft fits me just fine!
