TA-DA's: Last week, as you may recall, I was working on assembling my new craft cabinet and setting up part of our computer room to be my new craft area. Well, I got DH to carry the cabinet box into the room, then I tried to lift it and start assembling the cabinet on my own while he was gone. Tried is the operative word there. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that that box weighed 80lbs, and I managed to pull a couple of muscles in my back because of the way I was trying to lift it. So ::sigh: it's still in pieces. I got all the pieces out, and will be able to put it together myself, but this past week with a sore back I just didn't feel like crawling around on the floor doing it. Maybe I'll bribe DH into doing it on his next day off.... :) In the meantime, I do have to table up, and I've brought about 1/3 of my craft supplies in here: 
I also created and sent out a swap that was due- nothing to show, though, as it was just writing a letter about your favorite craft. I'm looking forward to receiving the ones from my swap partners, though- I might find yet another craft to try. ;)
TO-DO's: Well, obviously, get the craft cabinet together. This afternoon I'm working on my card for Beachy's Craft Challenge- the idea has been in my head for a few days, so I'd like to actually get it done. And, I need to finish the scrapbook layout I've started of my kids in cowboy hats-- I'm going to frame it and hang it in our family room. (I have a 12x12" frame that I bought years ago for something else and have never used- time to make use of it!) I have the pieces laid out here on the computer desk- I just need a few kid-free moments to put it all together.
For this week's "bonus question": If you could only do one kind of paper crafts for the rest of your life, which craft would you pick? This is a hard question... and I'm the one who wrote it, LOL! I'm really into the cardmaking right now, but, I think if I could only pick one thing, I'd probably pick scrapbooking, so that my kids would have great albums from their childhood.
And on a side note, have you seen this amazing craft cabinet??? If I ever won the lottery (of course I'd have to start playing) I'd buy something like this. :)
If you do any sort of paper crafts, not just scrapbooking, I hope you'll join us over at Sunday Scrappin'!
When I started scrapping and then cardmaking/stamping, I didn't have much in the way of supplies. So all I needed was a table and a small box or two to hold what supplies I had. Now it's nearly a year later and I've suddenly realized...I need something to organize all this stuff! Where'd it all come from?
ReplyDeleteI hope you are able to get your cabinet together. I'd LOVE some more space but for now it's all in a tote on wheels that I pull to and from the table -- maybe that's why I don't get much done. Oh and I really like that other cabinet but I would end up spending way more money to fill it up. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSeems like everyone is getting their spaces and stash organized, so I think I will have to do that too. :) Hope your back is feeling better soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW BE CAREFUL! Just think, if you get hurt it would be much harder to sit and scrap! THEN where would you be ;-) Good luck getting it together this week {I vote for bribbing the DH ;-)} and that framed layout sounds like a cute idea! Can't wait to see pics next week!
ReplyDeleteI'd offer to come over and help but I don't know how much we'd get done with my three little ones running around LOL I will pray your back feels better soon. A chiro is great for that stuff. I have seen that craft cabinent and DH laughed when I showed it to him both because of the price and we have absolutely no space for it in our house.
ReplyDeleteWell off to start school.
God bless,
