Christmas in July

Soooo, I've been on a cleaning/organizing kick lately and I realized that one of my major road blocks to complete organizational harmony (is that even possible?!) is that I do not have a centralized place for craft supplies.  I have craft supplies in every room of the house...stuffed here and there with no rhyme or reason.  Anyway, completely unrelated, I have been wanting a round kitchen table like forever and Sean's parents just gave us their old table (which looks amazing in kitchen!) and when we carried our old table down to the basement, a brilliant idea came to us.  A craft area in the basement!  I LOOOOVE IT!  It will be even more fabulous when we finish our basement someday.  But, for now we fixed up an area ghetto style with odds & ends (an old entertainment center, Sean's childhood dresser, and baskets I had lying around) and stapled old bed sheets to the beams to block off our junk storage area.  I came across so many fun crafts for the girls to do.  The first thing they did was 2 Christmas tree crafts...Emma made a tissue paper tree and Lucy made a popsicle stick ornament (you can sorta see them on the table).  Extra special credit goes out to my hubby who helped make this happen!  I feel so inspired to finish projects and maybe even work on my scrapbooks! (side note....there are bins & bins & bins full of scrapbook stuff, bow-making stuff and fabric easliy accesible from behind the curtain)
