Blog Hop Celebrating First Year with Swedish House Crafts

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to our fun Blog Hop Celebrating our First Year with

Swedish House Crafts!

Are we ever having a party!

We have fun things to share, great offers in the store, and prizes at every stop!

You should have arrived here from Tamara's Blog.

I love to organize and re-organize my craft room!

It's one of my favorite things to do! 

I was a little bit horrified when it was decided we would share our spaces in this blog hop.

I have just turned my room upside down in another re-organization blitz!  

Really not good timing on my part! lol 

I am blessed to have a bright room that measures 13' X 16'.

It's been my craft room for 18 years and has seen a lot of changes;

both in crafts and in set-up.

I really can't share the whole room in the condition it's in but I'll share some parts.

My husband is very talented, and builds me anything I want. 

He actually came up for the plan for these shelves.

The end unit is my die-cutting station. 

My Big Shot goes on top, and my dies are all close-by.

I always work standing up. 

I colour sitting down...but otherwise I'm always standing.

This is where I work.

I had my husband build a raised area for me, so I don't get a back ache.

I also work on a glass surface. 

It's just my favorite surface to work on for many reasons.

Everything I need is close at hand, either on top or under the work surface.

If I turn around from my work surface, this is what you see.

My trimmer, score board, another glass surface, and lots more is all easily accessible.

This is one of my favorite organizational spots.

It's in the black filing cabinet right under my work surface. 

The first two drawers are shallow and hold inks and other mediums.

This bottom drawer holds all my 8 1/2" X 11" cardstock. 

It's all sorted by colour, then in front of each colour is a file folder to hold the scraps in those colours. 

When I need a smaller piece I search through the scrap folder first.

 Here's a peek at one of my pegboards. 

This is my favorite ribbon organization! 

Do you know what these trays are?

They're chick feeders from a local hardware store.

Yes, actual chick feeders and they hold ribbon spools perfectly!

I love this system!

There you have a look at where I work.
If you're interested in seeing more, it will have to wait until my room is finished! :o)
