My Happy Place

Howdy Crafters ~ It is World Card Making Day and I am showing you my [MESSY] Happy Place where I come to create, listen to Christian Music or Bible Teachings as I craft. My wonderful husband Richard put together this crafting room in our Condo - we moved here to the town of Clio, Michigan [hubby's home town] in 2016.

My crafting room includes an exit door to the outside deck - so I can also enjoy nature when I am using the computer.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy World Crafting Day! ~ Gail~

Organized Mess ~ Drum Roll - My Crafting Room!

Howdy all my crafting friends!

OK - I decided today I would be transparent ~  I am stepping out of my comfort zone here people - and I thought you might need a good laugh today as well.

I know you are not going to be believe this,  but I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people say to me (especially in my "working outside the home" days) - "You are so ORGANIZED!"  HA! 

I do like to be organized ~ I do like a clean house ~ I do enjoy a clean crafting space... but to be honest, sometimes this crafting room does not get back into shape for days. 

So... today I have decided to let you see what life is really like in my crafting room most of the time.

Live, LAUGH, Live and enjoy my pictures!  

When (no holding your breath out there!) ~ I get this area cleaned & organized (again for the hundredth time) - I may add some additional pictures to this posting - just so you can SEE I do clean this area up now and then!

I do want to say I am blessed to have this space in our home just for crafting. Thank you so much Ricky for allowing me this space and time to create.

My crafting room is a small place ~ not more than one or two people can craft in this room ~ I am not complaining - just explaining - and I am so blessed to come here to relax, meet new friend - learn new techniques - listen to Christian Radio and create.

Thanks for dropping by today. 

Enjoy your crafting day! ~ Gail ~
