Scrapbooking?!?!

I use almost every tool and product known to man (maybe that should be to woman) for scrapbooking. I get asked if I scrapbook all the time. I mean seriously all the time. When I say "no" I get weird looks and Huh? For some reason I just don't like scrapbooking in its original since. I don't know why. Maybe its that big 12 x 12 blank space staring back at me. It seems to me there are "rules" for scrapbooking. I don't like rules when I create. Or it could even be the whole proportion and make things straight thing. I'm not very good at making things straight. (for proof see above-crooked page) But..... I dream, hope, and so desire to be a designer for scrapbook companies. I want to be on a design team, teach workshops, be part of CHA (Craft Hobby Assosiacion), and get free samples dang it! So practice makes perfect. I am practicing every day. I'm practicing teaching, scrapbooking, and different techniques. Why just this morning I taught my Keegan how to blend ink. And just yesterday I taught Scrappy- doo (our dog) how to use the cuttlebug. He just watched but, I'm sure he could apply what I taught him. So look out scrapbooking world. Here I come and I dream BIG.

Redoing Studio

I have been working really hard this week. This is

before and after pics of my studio. I took the pegboard idea from the better homes and garden mag and did it all by myself! I even used power tools!!! I just LOVE it. The color is aqua kiss. I have just the corner finished. I still have the rest of the room to do. But, I felt I had to have my work area set up so I did it first. The pegboard is just awesome. I will change it up some and add cute stuff so I will post pics after I am done.

Today however I put the power tools and paint brushes up

to do a little crafting. I get sooooo much more done having

it all handy and organized. These are for my booth. To see more
