I received an email in the wee hours of the morning that said there are new Rachelle Anne Miller stamps available for preorder. Can you say, "Yeehaw!"? I'm so excited as the stamps include some of my favorite sketches of Rachelle's from this past year! I can't decide which ones I want first! Check out the link below for the preorders and to see the new stamps.

My Creative Space
I thought I would share a few pictures of my creative space with you. The way that my room is set up, I couldn't get a wide shot from any angle (I should have a special lens for that, but I don't). I have plans to paint the paneling, but I have had plans to do that for years, and I just can't seem to find a color or the motivation to get the job done. Also, I would like to have a chair that matches the style of the room (perhaps a white banker's chair), but I haven't gotten around to that, either. Well, here ya go!

Here's a shoddily stitched panoramic view of the room taken from a few steps up while standing in the kitchen. This picture was made awhile ago, and you'll notice as you look at the pictures I took last night, that some things have changed since then.


This is the view from the backyard door. It's the door off of the driveway and the door that everyone uses when entering my house, so this is the first view people see. By people, I mean family, because I don't think I've had more than one or two family members in my house in the past 10 years (other than my daughter's friends).

This is the view from behind the desk or facing the backyard door.
I used a pantry organizer that I bought at Walmart to store my ribbon spools. I wish I had a nice, white, wooden ribbon organizer, but I do like that this one is white...and, it's certainly functional.
A fun little bulletin board and my paint storage (the paint storage rack is from Michael's).
A close up of my avon and vintage pin bulletin board with my tin pez sign. Just a fun little thing I put together for a pop of color and to get my pins out of simply being stored in bags in drawers and various places where they were never seen.
Thanks for stopping by my blog,
Kelly

I don't know the first thing about creating a blog, but I am a creative person so I know that I can come up with something that is not completely boring. It may take a couple of day...perhaps weeks...but I will prevail.


I read about an artist the other day named Michelle Zindorf and so I went to her blog and checked her out...amazing. I printed out one of her tutorials and 2 days and several attempts later, I managed to create something postworthy. So, here it is.



I received total goodness and smiles in the mailbox today. The six new Leann Ellis stamps that I ordered from Sugar Nellie Stamps arrived today. I can't wait to play with them!
Hello? Is anyone out there?
