Clean Your Room! and a layout

If you have ever been to my house you will know that mostly it's in pretty good shape with one exception - the craft room. I tend to get really into my crafting projects and then ignore the cleaning up that comes after you finish one project - I'm that excited to get started on the next project.

Well, I decided that this is the year to change that and I'm all ready liking the results. I am able to have Panda, the puppy, in the room with me because the floor is clean. And, I have room on the table to actually work. Sure, it's still a little cluttered but I am trying to be much better about picking up after a project even if I am tired and just want to get into bed.

I also found some projects that weren't quite done. The clean room inspired me to finish up. This page featuring Phin a couple of Christmases ago is one page that I finished up


I had added all sorts of detail and used the fun Echo Park Christmas line but I hadn't put it all together yet. Maybe it just needed some time and perspective because I love it now!

And, because the craft room is clean, this is able to happen
