I’m not generally one to talk about rules . … but every so often I’m reminded, in my own crafting room, of what I consider the #1 rule for papercrafters! Check this out . . . .
So . . . can you figure out the #1 rule??? Here it is! “Never be ashamed of your messy crafting space!” I know . . .those of you who are avid “neat nicks” will find this a bit overwhelming. However, I consider a messy crafting space to be a sign of wonderful, inspirational, happy creativity!! During this season, especially, we usually have 3 holidays going at once, and for me, that means “stuff” all over the place! I’m almost to the point now where I’ve got to take a couple hours and dig out, because I’m down to only one holiday now – Christmas – and I’m having trouble finding what I need to continue Christmas projects!
So, don’t be discouraged or ashamed! Accept that your creativity is alive and well . . . and in a few weeks you can clean it all up and get going onm 2023!
I also have another photo to show you today. I’ve been working on this project for a long time, and I’m really thrilled with how it came together!
A friend gave me this dress form over a year ago. I peeled and scraped off about 7 layers of covering, down to the cardboard base, which I spray painted in vanilla and then covered with tons of my stash of wonderful vintage and vintage style laces. This is the epitomy of “shabby chic” to me, and I love it. Sorry the back ground in the photo is a little distracting; I took the photo in our booth at the Prospector’s Vintage Marketplace, so there are lots of items on display.
Now I’m focused on making a few more Christmas cards, as we’ll be adding a card rack to the wonderful venue called “Gypsy Chic” in Lincoln, CA, the 2nd weekend of December. We’re excited to have another place to showcase our cards, which have always been and remain, our #1 passion!
Hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving. There is soooo much to be thankful for, and you, my crafty friends, are at the top of my list! Happy Thanksgiving! Janice
