Craftroom REDO!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgb5HmUYLP8 I'm finally "finished" with the craft room. Well, ok! Who is ever finished with any room in their home as to the aesthetics, color or style but I have gotten it to where I am contently working in it now! I did a few things myself. The Window treatments are put up with thumbtacks and seriously, floral wire! LOL I will be redoing the fitted sheet since I saw a pinterest project on how to make a shade with a fitted sheet and ribbon. I wanted to keep the center of the room open to put a blow up mattress when I have my great nephews over so that is why most items are up against the wall. I had my work table to the left of the room but because of my small stature (yeah that sounds fancier than "short")I moved it to the right because I could not reach the peg board with the desk in front of it. So that area is SUPER functional now! I have peg board trays so I am able to put my ribbon, floral wire, scissors, etc in the trays while I work on the wreath. The work desk is two cabinets from Hobby Lobby and two cabinets from Lowe's. My husband put plyboard on top for a PERFECT desk/work area. I LOVE my Thirty-one products that have helped organize me IMMENSELY! I am a Thirty-one independent consultant and if you would like help reorganizing any of your rooms feel free to contact me. The bags I am now using are the Littles carry all caddy, all in one organizer, room for two and a medium utility tote. I hope this video helped you to think outside the box and motivate you to redo a room or space of your own that can be your spot to dream and make those dreams reality!

Today I had to complete a special order for a client and I must admit I was a bit nervous. This is for a church who will be having a couples dinner and they wanted the piece to be centered around I Corinthians 13:4-10 I believe. We decided on conversation hearts and this really spoke to me for a couple of reasons. Mostly, is our conversations centered around the word? Is it normally mindless droll about things of no consequence? I know we can't always talk about scriptures but does our conversation at least have meaning to it? Does it help someone? I hope so...it may be to make someone laugh. Believe it or not, some people need to laugh and that's ok if your character is to be a "character"! We all feel better when we are happy and laughing, at least I feel better! Secondly I had to open the scripture again to be able to create the hearts. Years ago I defined each word in that passage to gain a full knowledge of what God's love is and is not. I challenge each one of you to define the passage and take it to heart. May your Valentine's day be filled with God's love! Lord bless!
