Pics to share of my new Craft Table...

Hello dear bloggy friends... well, it's the end of the long weekend for me and it went by so quickly (unfortunately)... and here I am, not having made 1 card the whole weekend, but I haven't been sitting idle.  Let me share a few pics with you all...

Here's a pic of my old Craft Corner, which is part of my huge bedroom...  As you can see, nothing very exciting.  My desk was so full that I hardly had space to craft... how on earth did I manage for so long?  And notice the laptop perched on top of a those plastic drawers... NOT ideal I tell you!! Well, I got rid of the chair and the desk and designed my own craft table and chest of drawers which a carpenter made for me...

Here's the new Craft Table and Chest of Drawers.... Note, the Laptop has a permanent place to stand and I still have plenty of space to craft.

Don't you just LOVE it!  Well, I DO!!!  Am sitting here right now, typing this post and it is fabulous having so much space to work on.  However, it has taken me the whole flippin' afternoon to clear out and pack my new drawers... I even have some empty ones which need filling... I can just hear my friend Sandra saying "I can feel a shopping spree coming on Sharon" !!!  No Sandra, I'll just have to make do with what I have... hehehe

Now that you've seen the desk and all the wonderful drawers, I bet you'd like to see what's inside and of course on top, so here goes...

I wanted the chest of drawers the height of kitchen units, so that I can stand and do my embossing without having to bend my back.  It's the perfect height for me.  Here's a pic of my cuttlebug, with a few soft and furry friends to keep me company.  I'll show you what's inside the baskets...

This basket holds my CB plates, stamp cleaner, embossing plates and nesties... nice to have them on hand, don't have to dig for them elsewhere.

The other basket holds my completed cards, which you've seen on my blog... they're for SALE.  If anyone is interested, email me privately.

In the top drawer of my chest of drawers, I have some ribbons/lace, flowers and my MS punches... how on earth did I accumulate so many?  Now that they're not hidden away, I'm amazed at how many I have (for me that is).

As you can see, I colour code my flowers and ribbons.  I place all the same colours in plastic bags, which makes it easier for me to find.  It also helps to see when your stock is running low of a certain type and colour of flower or ribbon/lace.

This drawer holds all the christmassy coloured ribbon and odds and ends... a few stamps and more punches.

And now for my Paper Cupboard which is on the left hand side of my craft table...

I have 2 stacked paper stands on top of each other... the top is for my plain cardstock and the bottom for my patterned paper, which still needs to be sorted by the way, but that's a job for the weekend.

Apologies for the quality of the pics, but I'm sure you get the picture... Thanks for sharing my new furniture with me.  As you can imagine, I'm a very happy bunny right now, just wish I could have another day or 2 to sit a craft.

Earlier this evening, I "met", via skype, 2 very dear blogfriends, Lins and Celia from Belgium. Celia is currentnly on vacation in Poland.  Isn't this technology amazing?  Unreal how it brings the world into your own home and your home into theirs.  Enjoyed the chat girls and look forward to catching up with you again some evening.

Thanks for popping by, I really appreciate the visits and of course your comments. They make my day.  Wishing you all a super crafting week, hugs Sharon x
