Craft room organized! Well, almost...

      The only thing I'm lacking are the labels for the drawers and boxes. I may get those done later in the week, but for now I'll have to say: "Yay, I accomplished what I set about to do for the challenge!" It wasn't as dreadful as I thought, once I got into it. I just finished up before I sat down here to write this post. It was challenging today because that beautiful sun is calling me outside. I am so glad I stuck with this challenge of organizing my craft room! With the mild temperatures we're having here in Alabama, it's hard for me to stay inside! I love working in the flower beds and the vegetable garden, and doing tasks outside! That's why the craft room needed to get done now! That way, this fall, when I start back crafting again, everything will be in it's place, and hopefully labelled. I go through seasons of crafting, it seems. I'm sure there will be some hot days of summer where I need to be inside during the heat. I can work on a craft or two then, maybe. The Valentine banner is up, even though it still isn't flat, and the words are not visible. I hope everyone who has visited my blog will be glad for the progress I have made. It may not be an overwhelming change, but I certainly can tell the difference! Blessings from Bama! 

Look at that clean table! I never thought it would look like that!

Here is a panaramic view. 

The walkway used to be hindered here, going into the workout area.

Happy Valentine's Day Banner.

I made this wreath some time ago, but it had no home. Now it looks nice on the closet door.

The shirt and table cloth have been taken off the ironing board and ready to put to use.

This area looks cluttered but I want to keep the cardboard boxes and packing paper for future crafts. The drawers need labels.

The plastic boxes need labels as well. They contain patterns and material I've purchased at thrift stores and yard sales.

This panoramic view shows the back of the room, including the exercise equipment and keyboard.

Update on my Valentine Banner....

      I wanted to blog before now but life happens so I just now got a chance! My sweet great-niece was with us on Friday, so I got to spend so special time with her and her Mom. We all had a great time together, and hopefully we'll see them again soon! I made some delicious oatmeal cookies and I wanted ya'll to see my mixing stand. It will be posted below. I really enjoy using my mixer since all I have to do is pull it out and then up. I had the builder to make it that way and he said that was the first one he ever built. He did a great job on it! The other thing I wanted to share is the banner. It is still a little curled up on the edges so I have it laying under heavy books in order to straighten it out. Do any of you have a Cameo and have this problem with the paper curling up after pulling it from the sticky paper? So far, that is the only drawback I've experienced using it.
      I've had a lot of views on my blog and even have a few new followers! Ya'll say the nicest things in your comments! I could just give you all a big ole' hug! I really appreciate you reading this blog and it really blesses me when you leave a comment! There are so many talented people in blog world and I'm thankful to get to read about your gifts and talents. I even try to copy some of them in my own decorating, crafting, and cooking. Ya'll keep on writing and I'll keep on reading and commenting when I can! Love ya bunches! Blessings from Bama

Love my mixing stand!

A Copy-cat recipe. Tastes almost just like them!

Trying to capture the beautiful sunset.

Pink sky at night....

See how it's curled.

The font is too small and dainty for this.

The font show up nicely against the pink, though. I'm going to change this.
