My Craft Room Decor

I am so excited about this shelf that my Dad hung for me today! 

I went up to the attic several days ago to look for something, and happened upon this shelf of mine that was stored up there. I had completely forgotten that I even had it. After letting my mind wander about what I could use the shelf for, I decided to hang it above my craft table, and it's PERFECT

The little basket on the top shelf I found just this morning at Dollar General for $1. 
I'm keeping all my rolls of baker's twine in there. 

 When we moved into our house, there was a corner of the basement full of mismatched jars and glass bottles of all shapes & sizes left behind from the previous owners. I marched on down to that dark little corner of the basement and collected some of the cutest little jars that looked like they hadn't been touched in years. I soaked & scrubbed them and they now hold my buttons, brads, lace, twine, silk flowers, washi tape, etc. 

I have a window in the center of my craft table, so the other side of the window looks like this. 
This is more easy decor. The clipboards came from Walmart, and the pieces of art are printables that I found online. 


And on a completely different subject, 
this is what my winter evenings have been consisting of.

I hope you are all staying warm & cozy this winter!

A Peek Into My Scrapbook...

Good evening everyone! 

I've been doing lots of scrap-booking in the past month! I'm working on my pictures from 2016. Let me give you a bit of a peek into my scrapbook...




My Mom and I both use the We R Memory Keepers post 12 x 12 albums 
for our scrapbooks. 

Just recently, I filled my album, and decided to try the 
We R Memory Keepers ring albumTake a look...


What do you think about post vs ring? 
I don't like the way the ring splits up spreads like you can see on the photos above, but I think they're easier to handle and I like how the pages lay more flat. 
Also, what brand of albums do you like best? 
Comment with your opinions!

My Mom and I have been busy working on her wedding photos! She had them in a slip-in album and wanted to have them in a scrapbook. We had so much fun doing that and we found this beautiful album at Michael's Arts & Crafts to put the pages in. It's perfect! 


Just a peek into my life...
Last week I spent a few days in Florida! I enjoyed the sunshine immensely! 
But as always, it's good to be home! 

I hope each of you are having a good winter. 
It's February now, so that means next month is spring. :)
