I love craft time: December 2018

OH my! It's been quite some time since I have posted and I apologize. My CRAFTY life has been a little hectic and as I reflect on 2018, it definitely was a BUSY one. The last few weeks I have been challenged with an illness that made the holidays VERY low key. I am happy to report that I am doing much better. You will see shortly why this was my desk for addressing Christmas Cards. Did you receive one from me? If not, email me at mjcarrion@comcast.net with your mailing address and I would LOVE to send you one!

I pray your holidays were blessed. Here is a pic of me as a child. My mom said it was from either Kindergarten or 1st grade. Great "note to self" label your pictures and especially who they are -- especially if they look alike. There are not many pictures of me as a child, therefore you know why I take a million pictures of everything and everyone. AND why I cherish photographs SO MUCH!

My granddaughters bought me this adorable cart! Can you believe I didn't own one? So I quickly loaded it up. Even though I have my CRAFT ROOM, I do craft everywhere in my home. This will be so awesome to roll wherever I craft. I loaded it up with all my pens from all over (Yes, I have a LOVE for pens), markers (except my Stampin'Up! - if you have an idea of how to store them in this cart horizontally PLEASE share), tools, washi, notepads and adhesives. WELL this kicked off a craft room cleaning FRENZY and it's not even SPRING!

My room was in desperate need and I am embarrassed to share, however this is what it looked like. With so much going on and me running in and out from various events, my CRAFT ROOM became a "Room of Piles" and can you imagine my frustration? Amazingly I knew exactly where everything was when I needed it - HA! OK, well most of the time. So far I have five boxes for donation to ART STREET and it's making my heart so happy! I will share my 2019 CRAFT ROOM REVEAL in a future post.
