I love to see this:) It's nice to know others craft messy too, I mean really, is there any other way;) I saw some pretty neat things in your piles! I think your pretty AWESOME to share this with all of us! Have fun!
It takes alittle chaos to get the creativity moving.. but you know I always get creative mojo again during the clean up process... so both are needed to keep the steam engines moving!
Did you have an earthquake? Wow! Wish i was there to help, I love to organize. (But I would probably get distracted,,, playing with Anna).
The carpet; our upstairs carpet is old and ugly. And so much heavy furniture to deal with. As soon as I get my nerve up, I'm going to pull the carpet out, pull the pad out, fill in a few screw indentions, and paint. If it turns out, maybe I'll email some pictures.
I spend way to little time in my scrap room! I also have toys and a special craft space for my girls. I used to say "no" alot to my now year 4 year old daughter when she asked for supplies from my stash. I now realize that it feels so good to say "yes you can have that" and the look she has getting something from mom's supplies is priceless and helps me with some of my clutter also! Another great thing I have realized is that she learned a very important lesson in life... sometime it is yes and sometimes it is no and she is okay with that.
After seeing so many cute,organized,decorated spaces, I am relieved to see a couple of designers that have some of the same issues I have. If I did not have so MUCH stuff it might not be as bad. I am still working on organization, I am doing a lot better with being able to locate things after sorting and labeling lots of clear shoeboxes.
I'm dying to know who makes that sheet of letter stickers in 6 colors in the 5th photo from the top! I'm doing a project using all of those colors and those stickers would be perfect! My scrap space is beyond help, so might as well add to it, right? LOL :)

Duh. I just read the comments and saw they're from Lily Bee. :)
I hope things are going well with the clean up. I notice you clear rubber stamps binder you made. I was what you made it out of? I have been search for a good storage solution for my clear stamps with not luck, but I like what you have done. Thanks, Patty
What mess? All I saw was that beautiful stack of TT stamps with the binder rings on pic #5
Oh my. I wish.
What fun to peek into a real artist studio :)
Thanks for letting us look.
