The wonderful folks over at
Sizzix are having a
Where In The World Is Your Vagabond promotion. How fun is this? You need to take the time to view some of the photos after you upload your own...hint hint. Some are hilarious, and some leave me in awe at the gorgeous places around the world where these fantastic machines reside. I love to see everyone's creative workplace as well. And speaking of that, I have had several ask me about my space, so I have included some photos of my wee little cave, although plans are getting close to underway for a new one...yay!!!
 |
| Day time use while Mr. V makes me work (although it's almost night in this very fuzzy photo). He cracks the whip a lot and does not give me many breaks during our 16 hour day, but he always allows for a venti, decaf, skinny Caramel Macchiatto. |
 |
| Night time use (usually after midnight and he prefers 950 thread count on Egyptian cotton of course...the little bugger). Hey! How else can I keep the mojo going? I have diecut dreams and cardstock wishes just like the rest of you!!! |
 |
| It looks messy, but it is my very organized chaotic place! It is about a 7' x 6' nook off of my family room, so the kids can still visit me and watch television on the weekends. |
 |
| All inks and markers are on this shelf next to my desk. |
 |
| All my Tim, Wendy, and wood block stamps are here, along with special books, ephemera, and my favorite papers. |
 |
| This is where Mr. V and all his dies and fades work. Under him are all my embellies, mists, paints, stickles, embossing items, and alcohol inks. Hot glue gun, Mr. Dremel, the melting pot, and iron are here too. |
 |
| A few more crannies, along with favorite projects and gifts from friends. |
 |
| The sewing place and the trunks are full of idea-ology extras, and a large array of certain shot glasses (yes...the famous ones fellow shipmates) that hold metal bits. The shoe holder, well no more, contains completed tags and swap items that I treasure. |
 |
| This is not the rubbish holder. This is the box under the desk that contains items just waiting to be masterpieces. |
 |
| I love my cave and I am at the mercy of Mr. V, but I would not have it any other way! I finally love going to work!!! |
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon, and I want to see your creative space soon!!!

ReplyDeleteWow your craft cave is gorgeous, love the organized chaos. So much fun to see how your creative space looks like. You have amazing products, and that lovely mr. V he is the best, right?
ReplyDeleteI love your crafty space, I'm envious too. :) I'm glad to see you take such good care of Mr V, he needs his rest after working so hard for you during the day. :) The Sixxiz competition is a great idea, I don't have a Vagabond, but it's fun to look at the photos people are posting.
ReplyDeleteI'm back to say how much I love your new tags, especially the Sherlock one - gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your post. It is hysterical. Glad you and Mr. V are happy together. I love your craft space. It looks so comfy and personal.
