 Hi Everyone, I hope you had a great week and the weekend is going well........ I am having a Pj day and a play in my new Craft Space :)  Probably like a lot of crafters out there.......when my boys were younger and home with me, I always used a part of the living room or the kitchen, for my scrapbooking and craft. I started off with one table, a small book case and basic tools, when I first started scrapbooking 20 years ago.  I have slowly built up my stash and it hasn't cost me a fortune, as I have recycled and bought the right pieces for my space. My boys have settled nicely into their home now and are getting on well. They both moved out when they were ready and I never pressured them.  Things happen and the right time eventually came. I loved having them at home, but it is also a new chapter for me with them leaving the nest...... So.......... after a few weeks of condensing, destashing, re-arranging, cleaning, sorting and moving in, my craft room is finally the way I want it

 Hi Friends, I have been a bit absent from my blogging, which hasn't been in my plan at all......   Work has been full-on and I have made the decision, to not work weekends anymore.  I have picked up other shifts Mon-Fri.  I have been doing this job for nearly 9 years and I think it's time to slow a little.....I am enjoying spending some more time, actually at home and doing a few things, I haven't had the time or energy to do.  I went out for dinner with a team of great girls, I work with and managed a bit of gardening, plus saw my youngest son........ I have nearly moved into my new craft room, as my sons are now settled in their home. I have been doing a little DIY project this weekend.  I found a cheap sturdy desk, on a local selling site and decided to give it a facelift......It had a desk, drawers and a hutch for great storage. Jayden picked it up for me and then I went to Bunnings and bought some paint that I could use straight over the wood with no prep or fuss. Tha
