Good evening!
I know that these pics may not look like I am making much headway in my art studio/office clean, up but I feel like I am doing A LOT!!!
My sweetie helped me locate, and assembled this perfect little bookshelf to put on top of my craft dresser, My new motto is storage, storage, storage!! I have spent a good portion of my day sorting supplies and putting all like items together. Tomorrow will be more about getting things out of there for donating to charity, recycling old magazines, and papers, putting everything into their new homes, and decorating like a banshee!! That is my FAVORITE part!!! ๐
I am loving the green on the walls, I had dabbled with the idea of changing it, but to be honest with you – it is just too much work!! So, I am sticking with my gut and just working with it! I am adding baby pink, silver, and baby blue into the mix!!ย Also adding the cubicle bookcase on top of the dresser and some lovely white curtains, is making this place feel so much nicer – even though there is still sooooooo much left to do!!! I think the room is taking on a much softerย girlier-glam feel! I know that is hard to believe when looking at these pics, but it really took me 5 years to get it into the state that it was in, so it is going to take me a little while to get it back to ship-shape!! ๐
I must confess, that I was so overwhelmed when I went in there to start this morning, that I decided to go shopping instead! Nice, right??? I bought some replacement essentials like bed pillows, and towels, which we were in desperate need of new ones!! Then when I got home, Jason helped me first thing, and I was still sooooo overwhelmed!! WHERE THE HECK DO I START??? Well, when I had taken Linda and GG’s craft class, they started with a meditation, so I thought I would give that a try! It TOTALLY worked!! I realized I had to stop feeling guilty and forgive myself for letting the room get to be such a disaster. I then made the decision to open my eyes, find one thing to toss, and one thing to put away. That seemed easy enough to commit to, so I did it, and then did again, and before I knew it I was on a roll!!
Anyway, I have a lot of work ahead of me for tomorrow, but I am excited to see what I can get done!!
TO-WANDA!!!!
(a la Fired Green Tomatoes, for those who are not in the know!)
Have a FABULOUS evening!! ๐

Christina, so glad the meditation worked! And here’s a tip about getting rid of art supplies you no longer need: The Stampin’ Cat Studio in Salem has a vendor’s market a couple of times a year where you can sell art supplies and get store credit!! Very cool. Lisa (owner) is a genius when it comes to events and community. You might want to check with her about her next sale.
Hope all is well with you on your journey!
XOXO,
Linda
Oooh!! Thank you, Linda!! What a TERRIFIC idea!!! and YES, I like to think that I learned A LOT of helpful things from the class I took from you and GG!! Meditation was something that the class has inspired me to implement WHENEVER I get stuck in my own way!!! ๐
