Here's where it started

                                                     I have begun the transformation of my new craft room. It started out as an office/computer room. No one has used the OLD computer in there for quite some time now, so hubby got rid of it .Since the computer is no longer there, ( we have a laptop and the Boy has his own computer in his room) we decided I could make it into my craft room. Right now my craft space is in the basement, but  mostly I bring projects upstairs to work on them anyways. Kind of gets old to have to drag things up when I start and clean up before I make dinner. I can't wait to actually use the new room when it's finished. My goal is to do the whole room without spending much money. Reuse and re purpose things I already have to make them work. The room is not large, it's about 10' 4" by 9' 2". It has one window, a closet, and two ways to enter. I just realized these pictures don't show the whole room very well. You can kind of get the idea though. So far things are running smoothly. I have good help, my guys are quite willing to lend a helping hand when I need one. I will post my progress soon. Here we go! Have a sweet day!

My happy Boy

The Boy

               This is my Boy. He was in Kindergarten in this picture ( 5 years ago ). I remember this day well. He was so excited because one of the first grade teachers took his picture for a display that was going in the hall at school. He came home and told me all about having his picture taken. He talked non-stop about this teacher. Funny how such a small exchange can have such a large impact.  Before the end of the conversation he told me he wanted her for his first grade teacher. Guess what?  He got her. This turned out to be one of my favorite pictures of him. Thanks Mrs. Rawson, for that and SO MUCH MORE!  She was the teacher that suggested we get him tested for the gifted program. I mean, everybody knows their kid is smart, right,  just ask I will tell you all about it. But, to have someone else recognize this in your child is fantastic. We are very proud of you Boy! Keep up the good work. By the way, doesn't he look happy?
