Where the Magic Happens

I keep telling people that I am too busy to do things with them right now...because I am working on CHA projects and other deadlines...  I get the feeling my non-crafty friends don't understand, so yesterday I took a photo of my craft desk.


This is just the main desk! I did not have the heart to take a photo of the whole space. It was a disaster! Plus I had unreleased product sitting on the other work surface and did not want to spill the beans on anything secret! {eyebrow waggle}

You can tell I was working on some Valentine's Day projects...watch the blog for those!


My workspace is very large, but you can see here that I am still working in a 6x6 square inch space! Do you think I have enough ink pads on my desk? I think I can see 11 pads, plus more in the drawers! WHAT?!

My creative style is: pull out everything I think I may want, toss it around and see what lands together, pull out more stuff, then work on something unrelated in a tiny space on the edge of the desk! {grin}

Here is a peek at something I made for my Graphic 45 Demo, coming up at CHA on January 31st!


Yes, I will be sharing a demonstration at the Graphic 45 CHA Booth in Anaheim, CA on Tuesday, January 31st, at 11:00 AM. Is that super cool or what?! I will be demonstrating the Graphic 45 stamps and Decades inks, including how to use them with Copic markers! You won't want to miss it if you are at the show!

Hmmm, this kinda looks familiar...
You could call it messy, or if you ask me it just looks creative!

Hope you have a wonderful time at the CHA, wish I could be there... Can't wait to see all the new projects when you can show them!

I have to explain all the time that just because I doing a job I LOVE doesn't mean it's still not a Job at times. You look as busy as the rest of us, can't wait to see more.

Giggles!!! I don't think it matters how big our tables are, we still work in a 6" square!! And how does it get like that so quick??
