I can hardly move around cause I have cleaned out a closet and piled it in here. This isn't as bad as it looks cause it is all sitting on a futon, coffee table, and end table and piled high!! OMG! I dread going in there to finish up! I couldn't find something and that is what started all this 'straightening' that is in progress. I will get an after picture and post it next week! Hopefully!The class I taught doing the Tim Holtzish tags turned out to be a hit. I thought I was going to only have 8 students but turned out to be 12 and everyone seemed to have a great time!
Now some family stuff! My sister and I spent the weekend at my brothers new house at Possum Kingdom Lake near Graham, Texas. They have a brand new grandbaby and we had to travel south to met her and see the new house. This a a picture from the front porch of the new house at sunset. I think I could get used to sitting here after supper each night!
Beverly, Joel, and Evelyn live in San Antonio, TX and had to travel north about the same distance Carol and I had to travel south so it was a good meeting place.
Melvin and Brenda, my brother and sister-in-law, have two daughters and one son. This is their first grandchild and they are so happy with the prospect of more in their future.
I made it around to every one's blog last week and hopefully I will this week. It is awesome to see every ones desk and what they are up to.
Good luck with the sort out!

arr! can relate to your horror of the mess have few bits of that myself...and hate it when things go AWOL which must admit my stickers have for 10 days somewhere, trouble is they do not take up much room!! awesome you made it to every blog!

I am impressed you are not overwhelmed by the tidy up. Looks like you had a lovely time with family.

Hi ya
ReplyDeletewow some sorting going on there, beautiful piccie, what a lovely veiw to enjoy,great piccies,have great day, happy WOYWW, sue,x (31)
Looks like you've got your work cut out to tidy your room, look forward to seeing it when the jobs done.
ReplyDeleteLovely family photos!
ReplyDeleteIt will be well worth it once you've got everything back in order, it always looks worse when it's cleared out especially as we have so many little bits of precious stuff. I find myself walking around with one brad, one eyelet etc., to put away as I cannot bear to bin them... and it all takes TIME!
JoZarty x looking forward to seeing the tidy results.
Good morning Vickie, Good luck with the sort out - it does look a mammoth task :) Possum Kingdom Lake is such a fab name - it sounds a lovely place to live in. Your TH tags are great - I'm going to have a go making one some time. Elizabeth x #61
ReplyDeleteSome great stash there. I don't envy you for having to tidy it all up though! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely creative week!
Holy crap! I think you headed to Texas to escape that mess didn't you!!! make room for me on that porch, beautiful view. Congrats to your brother and his family too!

Lol i have soooo been there hehe. hope the magic tidy fairies visit so you dont have to do it,I bet you find what you lost though
ReplyDeletehugs June
You'll find every reason to avoid your craft room now but just fight those reasons and go back in. Treat it as a treasure hunt! Good luck...
ReplyDeleteI'm originally from Texas so I love to hear about it.
Thx for visiting me!

Oh I hope you manage to find the impetus to go on clearing sorting and stacking....If it was mine it'll happen just in front of a deadline for a card or something!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see some of your happy family - and oh that sunset!
If I lived closer I would come and help you tidy up..good luck.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of your family and the sunset is gorgeous.

Oh the storm before the calm...good luck and will look for pics next week to see if you survive!!!LOL! Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the stamp mounting link last week. The trip to see a new baby sounds epic - makes ours from here to family 'up north' sound like a dawdle to the park. The only way to tidy that room is to take small bites with little rests between. But I bet you go at it gung-ho, no breaks! ...Shirl #122
ReplyDeleteIt will be fun to see the "after" version of your scrap room, but no pressure! I'm so impressed that you made it to everyone's blog last week! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Sue #21
ReplyDeleteGood grief... that is one heck of a mess... no wonder you headed for the hills, especially with sunsets like that to sit and watch. Annette
ReplyDeleteGreat family photos - I love seeing pics of where other people live as well. Your craft room looks rather scary, hope you get it sorted!
ReplyDeleteHelen S
I'm not the only one that works in a mess then :)I get mine sorted then I just make more mess!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness this looks like a serious sort out, good luck with it all.
ReplyDeleteI think if I had this sunset view I'd never move back inside, it's just beautiful.

My husband always know I'm cleaning when he comes home and things look worse! I tear everything apart sometimes too. It always starts because I can't find something. I generally don't find what I am looking for, but I find something else I lost! Hope youg et it the way you want! Great family pics!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me, you've managed to make a right mess there Vickie!! Good look with sorting it out!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunset photo, I would enjoy that view too :-)
Had to laugh when I saw your craft room today as I came home from work to find my 17 yr old daughter in this sort of mess in her room as she wants to sort everthing out - it seems we all have to make more mess before we can get tidy - have fun sorting out ~ Nicky no.6
ReplyDeleteHi - what a glorious Aladdin's cave of a craft room! It looks so exciting! Would love to have gone to one of your classes - too bad I'm in the UK! I just love getting together with other crafters. FANTASTIC landscape photo and gorgeous baby. Thanks for sharing & visiting my blog. Chris xx
ReplyDeleteMy desk always looks a bit like that lol A few weeks ago I cleaned out my craft room and put stuff in the rest of the house... now my whole house looks a bit like that haha Good luck with the clean up.
ReplyDeleteYour space looks, well, shall we say interesting. I'll have to be sure and come back next week and see what's changed. Good for you for getting around to everyone - there are just so many of us now.
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to be clearing out their rooms this week, must be nearly spring!!
ReplyDeleteAlison x
You'll be too exhausted to craft when you have that all put away lol. Love your family pix, adorable baby. Thanks for popping in to look at my work space. Hugs lin
ReplyDeleteThanks for calling by my bloggie..xx Good luck with your craft room.. it'll all be worth it :) Hope you have a lovely weekend. Wishing you lots of baby cuddles. Gez.
ReplyDeleteI did a big rearranging in my craft room last year, I know how bleak it looks when you're in the middle, but its so worth it in the end. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLooks to be an early spring clean, have fun organizing your craft closet. Looking forward to seeing the pic when your all finished, and hopefully you'll find some time to create. Happy to hear that your class was a big hit, very exciting.
ReplyDeleteThink you better set aside a few days to sort out your room Vickie! You will be glad when you have done it though! How nice to have a trip to see the family & yes I too could get used to the lovely view from the porch! How great to have that at your door! Hope your well!

ReplyDeleteDon't get your room toooo tidy or you won't be able to find anything! Mess is good! That is my excuse anyway!!
ReplyDeleteFab Sunset. I think I could get to like that house!!
Sam aka Hettie #145

Good luck with the 2nd half of the clean up! I look forward to seeing it! Hopefully it will be easier now that you have pulled all the stuff out of the closet. Your halfway there :)

WOW! I'm glad to see a mess worse than mine! But then you're tidying up, and I'm not! I just keep piling, piling, piling!

I find the worse thing about sorting my craft room is after it is tidy because I've changed things I can never remember the new layout lol. The sunset is wonderful, I hope you had a lovely time with your family.
ReplyDeletewow! that seems like a lot of organizing to do. that's always the case with me when i'm cleaning up. it gets worse before it gets better. but i love it!
