Hello! I'm back!!!

Hi everyone!!!  I'm so sorry I had to abandon my poor blog for so long but I am back and I vow to try and be a better blogger & post regularly  :>    The new year is off to a good start, well except for the record snowfalls & colder than cold temps., but that goes with the territory of living in the midwest.  Our family is very blessed & everyone is doing pretty well, so it's all good!
  I've really missed getting together with my gang this winter but weather & illness seemed to keep us apart.  When our last crop was cancelled due to yet another snow storm several of us cropped at home in our own spaces simultaneously & shared our doings & our work via FB and our own making memories girls blog.  It was actually fun & I got alot done that weekend.....hmmmmm, maybe because I wasn't chatting so much  LOL!  Well anyways, I know Valentine's Day has come & gone but I had so much fun working with all of the cheerful, glitzy fun Valentine-y things that I hate to see it go  :>  So I'm posting a few of my favorite creations this year just for one more look (I know my mm girls have already seen these so hang in there & I'll have some new pics. too).




  So anyway due to the cold winter I have moved my little studio upstairs & into one of our guest rooms which I recently redecorated.  I love it!.....so much warmer!!   It has 3 walls in a bright white called "frost" and one accent wall in a yummy green.  I added a wall quote over the desk and a little shelf by the window.  One of my favorite things is the chandelier and another cool little light that I just hung over the big freestanding mirror.  I bought a small shelving unit and some great canvas organizers from HL in all wonderful patterns of black & white!  I love these,  they just make everything look neater.  I also added a fun little mirrored table but the pics. of it didn't come out so well so I'll have to try again.....I love the little bit of sparkle it adds to my room.  And last but not least I added some comfy, cozy pillows to snuggle up & take a little break when I have visitors drop in (the cats!)
I love my new space & I've had a great time working in there.  Speaking of which, I'd better get going & do a little bit around this place.  Have a great day & enjoy this little burst of warmth that we're having.  Let me know what you think of my new workspace so far, I welcome any and all comments  :>







   By the way.....did ya notice there are NO pictures of my desk???  Yeah, that's because it's usually in a state of "controlled chaos" and you wouldn't believe how messy it is and would probably wonder how I ever get anything done  LOL!!!  I have cleaned up a little & put away most of the Valentine's supplies but it's still pretty bad.  Maybe I'll get brave one day & show ya but I wouldn't count on it!  Anyway, that's all for now and I'll be back soon!
