"powdered snow" and vintage french inspired ribbon!

i feel like I'm having blog post withdrawal...

you see I really haven't got to create much this week, what with the kids out for summer (which seems even busier than when they were in school!)

and.....because something else has been occupying my time

....drumroll please.....

a little while back Mr Keeper decided he was tired of my "stuff" steadily taking over the house

and he declared that we would convert our home office into "my" space

yay!!!! I was so excited

it's only a 9x9' space, but to have all my "stuff" in one place

bliss!

to be able to make a "mess" and close the door

bliss!

so this whole week has been moving "stuff" out (can't believe how much stuff was in there.....and how much more has to go back in)

and painting....and painting.....

well actually Mr Keeper has been doing the painting as he says I'm too messy of a painter, get it all over me (really??)

here's the before, way too dark for such a small room

lightening it right up, with "powdered snow"

sure took a lot of coats to cover that green

I promise to show you when it's all done!

anyway, back to the creating thing, I can't show you what I have actually made yet in case special birthday person it is intended for reads my blog:-)

but I have been playing with my stamps again, so much fun

here is some of the ribbon I've been making

isn't it yummy, such a classy way to tie up a gift, or a pile of books or....

well, back to organising all the "stuff"

happy days,

Tracey
