Organizing my craft room

I've been organizing my craft room and I'm actually doing it the right way this time.  Most times it seems I just move things from one side to the other.  Well this time, I'm organizing, giving away stuff that others can use, and throwing away stuff just lying around.  For instance I read on line.  When you get home take things out of the packages right away and recycle your bags. Wow!!!  Was that ever an eye opening experience :)  There were tons of bags in there with stuff still in them...  I knew I had purchased things but couldn't find them........... I guess this was the reason.... who'd have thought :) Ohhhhh and receipts...I threw away more receipts.  What am I saving them for they are scrapbook supplies.....it's not like I'll return them or ever want to actually see how much I spent again. :)   I was just talking to Ashley  and she was telling me that receipts are covered in BP powder.  You know the bad plastic we are trying to get and stay away from.  Gosh, I had no idea.  If you want to read more about this you can go to the blog called Young house love and read about it.  It's a very cool blog with lots of ideas for your house and it's a journey to see what this young couple have done with their first home.  Wow!  They are clever.   Sorry for the side bar....

Back to my craft room.  Hubs and I went to Ikea the other day and boy did I score!  I got a $35 dollar table for $19 for my craft room.  I was so excited!  It was exactly what I was looking for and then I got some other little goodies to help me organize and stuff.   So I'm going to post some pictures because I was doing such a happy dance and was so thrilled with how my room is coming along.  Look at this cool little swing out drawer thingy that attaches to the leg.  Those Swedes are so very clever!  I just love Ikea!

 I will take more pictures when I am completely finished...there is still stuff in baskets and on the floor that needs to be sorted but it's all coming together.  I love it....  Okay that's all for now.  This is what I have been up to lately.  Thanks for taking a look

Blooming Air Plants

I'm so excited.  My air plants are blooming, or beginning to.  Linda and I sent for air plants a while ago and I glued mine all to a wreath and put them on the screen porch and I guess they are happy at the moment because they are blooming!  I just glued them on with Aleenes tacky glue (quick dry)  Anyway I just thought I would share a few pics of my little plants that live off of air.
Thanks for stopping by.

My finished faux cakes

Well here they are!  My faux cakes all decorated and finished.  Sorry the pictures aren't very good they have lots of mica and the colors are brighter but it didn't show up on the pics.  I love them!  I'm very happy with the way they turned out!  Such fun!  Thanks for taking a look.

More of my faux cakes

Well,  here is step two of my faux cakes.................adding the borders. This was so much fun. I might even make

a real cake for hubs birthday tomorrow. Does it look real? It's so cute and so fun!  After this dries I get to decorate it!  Can't wait to add glitter or Mica and little trinkets.  You really should give it a try

if you like decorating cakes and creating. What a fun little box!  A great little ezine!  I recommend it!

This is cool!  A bald eagle just flew over my yard circled around and came down and plucked a fish out of the lake behind our house!  Pretty exciting to see!  They are majestic birds!!  They've been hanging around alot lately.  Tried to get a picture to post but trying to shoot a digital camera toward the sky and follow a flying bird isn't easy.  So no shots today.

Thanks for taking a look.

Hi-Jinx

Here are some of the hi-jinx I have been up to.  I gold-leafed this large foam egg.  I think it is beautimous!  A Real Diamond Jubilee Egg indeed!  Then I bought the ezine Pretty Spring Things  and I have been creating little goodies from that including the faux cake.  I will show you mine in the works.   I think I may have gotten a little to heavy on the frosting, but we'll see.  It might take a year to dry. (I hope not).  Then I am getting my tablescape ready for Easter.  This has been a so much fun.  Love doing it!  That's pretty much what I've been up to.  Thanks for stopping by.
