Lucky Monday for me today. First I got out of bed at 6:30 (for the first time this summer) to do a early a.m walk. Second, I got on the computer to find I was featured on Just Something I Made as a featured blog while Cathe is on vacation.
I was nominated by April of Midwest Magpies who has read my blog for ages. Thanks so much - it made my DAY.
And third, I finally got my studio rearranged with the new cabinet that I got at an estate sale a couple weeks ago.
It is still a little grungy looking - but totally works for storage in the studio. Drawers and cabinet space are a good thing.
Sometimes I like to label my drawers - this one is full of vintage crepe paper - I used a label from one of the packets on the front of the drawer.
The game drawer...with quite a few boxes of Anagram games.
A catch-all or junk drawer...but nicely organized.
Old ribbon craft straw and some glitter (altho I have glitter stored in two other spots as well...glitter obsession here).
The tin tower.
This is to the left of the new cabinet. Jammed packed, but organized in a colorful jumbled manner.
And just an FYI this was the cabinet I got rid of - it had great shelf space but I really needed some drawers and such. The new one works much, much better.
So hopefully lucky Monday will continue on...I have a smile on my face, the sun is out and am ready for a really good day!
Hello! I found you through Cathe's blog! Love your blog! I'll be back to visit!

My summer vacation dream is to come to your house, sit in a chair and look at every.single. thing. Twice!
