My Daughter is a TEEN today!!

Okay so today is the BIG day! My Daughter Amanda is 13. I can't believe it. She has grown up so much, she is amazing, beautiful and so talented. She has such a heart and passion for the Lord and also to play her guitar. It's been a joy to watch her grow up, and boy did these years go by very fast!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS! We love you!

My Craft Room!

Finally, I got all my jetmax cubes assembled, and now I can post my craft room! I still need 2 more but there is no hurry. I do all kinds of crafts: tatting, knit, crochet, paint in oils and acrylics, needleworks, jewelry, you name it I probably can make it, mostly everything I do involves paper crafts, especially lately. So here is a peek into my obsession:

My Desk (Above) My dear friend Jeri made me matching covers for both my cricuts! They are awesome! I crocheted the doily on my chair.

My Paper (yes, I love groucho, I have had this puppet since I was 8 years old! I lost his glasses and cigar) My baby Bug's cover was also made by Jeri!

Here are my jetmax cubes, I love them!

My painting area

My Embellishment Center

I love this dresser, it used to be my daughter's when she was a baby. I re-purposed it in my room, she inherited her big sis's furniture!

My Closet Area.

Closet opened, lots of storage for my crafts! My Pazzles, and Jewelry and everything. It's also messy! Don't look! LOL

My Desk area. I found this desk at Joann's a few years ago!
Thank you for looking at my space!

Now that I have figured this out, I will be able to make more!

New Look!

Hey I spruced up my blog again and I'm liking it! I lost everything though and need to start over with links!
I have 4 hours and 30 minutes on my Wii Fit for this week so far. I have 1 1/2 hours left to hit my goal for the week! That's a cinch!
Going to work on my craft projects now. I'm just about finished organizing my craft room, I re-did the whole thing. I need 2 more jetmax cubes to complete the design! I will be taking pictures soon.
Have a blessed Easter weekend! He is Risen!
