Newest additions to craft room

I really cant explain in words how excited I am to have an actual craft room. So that's why I keep posting stuff about it. Its taking a lot longer than I thought to organize everything, I got a LOT of stuff. One of my favorite scrapbooking go-to items is buttons. I love having them out in the open so I knew a kitchen scale was just the thing... and not just any kitchen scale an old fashion red one.
Last Sat. I was out and about kinda early with time to spare and on my way home I stopped in at a yard sale where I saw a big bag of thread on WOODEN SPOOLS, how cool is that. Bag was $4.00 but I didnt have any cash, so I walked away wondering why I even stopped. All morning I was thinking about them in the back of my mind cuz I've always wanted wooden spool, so about noon I stole $4. from Ryan's cash stash and went down there just in time to beat an old lady who was about to grab them. HAHA Ok, she wasnt that old, but she already had crafty stuff in her hands and I know she would've taken them. So here they are and I'll display them on my wall. There were a whole bunch that were just empty spools so I took some of them and strung them on wire and hung them up in my room in the shape of a heart... I know, I'm so clever!!


And remember my red? I decided to hang my ribbon from it. I was hesitant because I thought Bocy would see it as her personal playground but she doesnt even care unless she hasnt realized what it is yet.
I put the rest of my ribbon in jars by color on the lower shelves of my embellishment center. I also have my mists, some inks, and flowers in jars in here. As well as the ribbon, the red ribbon spools wouldnt fit inside so I had to hang them.

NEW & Improved Scrapbook Room

All this made possible by 1 Adorable, Loving, Amazing, Hard Working, Sexy, Ambitious, (I could go on, but I'll refrain from making you puke) HUSBAND!
(Thanks babe, xoxo!!!)
When people ask about my room and we get to talking about cost and all that, I notice that the person's eyes usually wander over to R as if quietly asking him "why would you let her do this" or "how can you afford this woman" or whatever it is they mean to say... and R just looks at me and says "Only the best for my Laci!" The cool thing is he means it too.
So I know I've showed pics before, but its getting better everyday. I keep adding awesome-ness and I have to admit it's pretty freaking Amazing. Who wouldnt want to craft here? This is the over-all pic of my desk.
The far wall!
I dug out my awesome candle holder that's been in the basement for years and hung it by a chain that R so kindly gave to me and painted for me. Now my room will smell of 'Coconut Cove', my favorite Partylite scent.
Disregard the junk on the desk, its not quite organized yet, I dont know what I want to display on my cute stands yet.
I've always wanted to do this. Put my wood stamps on a shelf, but apparently I have too many to fit on it. (I still havent unpacked all my stuff yet, these are just the ones I found lying around in random places.)
I decided to display this one on my cute little red shelf.
Got this at a thrift store, painted it red and its perfect for holding my paints, and my pepe le pew ornament that my grandma gave me.
I've been coveting this shelf for years, finally got it thanks to a 50% off coupon and a gift card from Cindy. Still filling it up though, hence the emptiness.
My FAVE thrift store find is this long skinny shelf I got a few weeks ago for $1. I bought it hoping my Stampin Up ink pads would fit in it, and they do. Perfectly! I only have 2 sets of them and that's exactly how many it holds! A little bit of paint and its perfect!
