PICTURES OF THE AREA I LIVE IN

I FINALLY GOT OUT AND REMEMBER TO TAKE THE CAMERA WITH ME. SO HERE ARE SOME SHOTS OF PA! THESE WERE TAKEN ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE ALPACA FARM...

THIS IS THE DAIRY FARM DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME.

THIS IS THE HILL PAST THE DAIRY FARM THAT LEADS TO MY HOUSE. TRY DRIVING UP THIS IN SNOW! UGH!

AND THIS IS MY HOUSE FROM THE ROAD.


THE MALL, JUST PARTS OF THE FRONT.. IT GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND AND HAS A HUGE MOVIE THEATHER AND STUFF ON ALL SIDES.

WALMART IS ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FROM THE MALL... AND THERES DENNYS!!! WHOOOOO HOOOO! THERE IS ALSO A FRIENDLYS, TACO BELL, AND APPLEBEES ALL IN THAT ROW BY DENNYS.

ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE ALPACA'S... WAY OFF THE ROAD IS AN AMISH DAIRY FARM.

THESE ARE SHOTS OF PARTS OF THE TOWN. I DONT LIVE IN THE TOWN, BUT ITS CUTE!

CRAFT ROOM IS DONE!!!!

OK, SO THE ROOM IS DONE.... FOR THE MOST PART! I ACTUALLY MADE SOME THINGS TODAY AND YESTERDAY.... SO FOR THE ROOM...


THIS IS THE FAR RIGHT CORNER WHEN YOU WALK IN THE DOOR... IT HAS DIE CUTS, TEMPLATES, STAPLERS, EMBOSSING FOLDERS, AND CARD MAKING STUFF.

CONTINUING AROUND THE ROOM, WE NOW HAVE WHITE SHELVES WITH FOAM CLING STAMPS, STAMPING SUPPLIES, SU STAMPS, DIE CUTS, CHIP BOARD, AND CLEAR STAMPS (IN THAT RED BIN ON 9X11 LAMINATED SHEETS ON FRONT AND BACK!!!!).

HERE IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM IS IRIS CARTS FILLED WITH PUNCHES AND WOODEN STAMPS. ON TOP ARE EMBELLISHMENTS AND GLUES.

MORE IRIS CARTS AND EMBELLISHMENTS...

NOW WHEN IN THE ROOM AND FACING OUT THE DOOR TO THE LEFT IS PAPER. THERE ARE WOODEN SHELVES STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, A FILE CABINET FULL OF PAPER, AND THAT RACK IN THE CORNER THAT WAS A PUZZLE SHELF ALSO FULL OF PAPER. ON TOP OF THE METAL SHELF IS SOME PRIMAS AND SOME ALPHA RUBBER STAMPS.

HERE IS ONE WORK TABLE THAT HAS TONS OF DRAWERS FULL OF EMBELLISHMENTS, SOME TOOLS, A WHITE RACK FULL OF FIBER (OH, STILL HAVE TONS MORE I HAVENT PUT OUT YET, SO THE ROOM ISNT FULLY DONE YET), INK PADS, AND DRAWER FULL OF EMBELLISHMENTS, TOOLS, AND SO ON. OH, AND MORE PAPER UNDER THE DESK (THERE'S ANOTHER BOX LIKE THAT STILL IN NY... )

HERE IS THE FIBER SHELF, DRAWERS AND INK PAD SHELF IN A BETTER VIEW. THE FIBERS ARE STACKED 3 ROWS DEEP. ON TOP OF THE INK SHELF ARE TONS OF WATER COLOR PENCILS/CRAYONS, MARKERS, ETC.

HERE IS MY MAIN WORK TABLE... SEEN AS IF YOU WERE FACING IT... UNDER IT THERE ARE 2 NIGHT STANDS THAT WERE LEFT IN THE HOUSE, SO I USED THEM TO STORE PUNCHES, TOOLS, EMBELLISHMENTS ETC. THE WHITE 3 DRAWER CART HAS TOOLS & MATS ON TOP, AND THE DRAWERS ARE FULL OF FLOWERS, EMBELLISHMENTS AND CRIMPERS.

IF YOU WERE AT THE OTHER WORK TABLE AND TURNED AROUND, THERE IS A DESK AND PAPER RACK BEHIND IT... YUP, MORE PAPER! AHHHHH!

THIS IS A SHOT AS IF YOU WERE WALKING TO MY MAIN WORK TABLE. YEAH, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF REBOOTING MY COMPUTER AND WORKING ON A SWAP, SO ITS MESSY... BUT HEY, I WAS WORKING :) UP AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE TABLE IS A CART WHERE MY DIE CUT MACHINES ARE... ALL EXCEPT FOR THE PAZZLE... MY EXPRESSION HAS TO BE MOVED TO THE SHELF WHERE THE PAZZLE IS, BUT FOR NOW ITS HERE... THE BABY BUG CAN STAY ON THIS TABLE WITH ITS OTHER LITTLE FRIENDS! ALSO, NEXT TO MY DESK IS A SHELF WITH MORE COMMONLY USED PUNCHES SO THEY ARE IN ARMS REACH.

HERE IS THE ELECTRONIC SHELF... MY REGULAR PRINTER, 12X12 PRINTER, PAZZLE, LAMINATORS, PAPER SHREDDER, JUKEBOX, AND DESIGN STUDIO (EXPRESSION WILL GO ON BOTTOM SHELF). THE STORAGE TO THE LEFT OF IT HAS CHALKS, COLORED PENCILS, GLIMMER MISTS, ETC. THIS IS NEXT TO THE CLOSET.

THE COMPUTER DESK AND THE CORNER SHELF IS FULL OF EMBELLISHMENTS AND ANOTHER DESK WITH TOOLS, MACHINES, MORE STAMPING STUFF, ETC ON IT.

THE BACK OF THE CLOSET DOOR... CHIPBOARD ALBUMS & COASTERS

LOOKING INTO THE CLOSET.... (THE BACK OF THE DOOR IS FULL OF CHIPBOARD) TONS OF GOODIES IN THERE... STICKERS, PAINTS, SEWING STUFF, CLAY STUFF, JEWELRY MAKING STUFF, MATERIAL, LEATHER, RIBBONS, FIBERS, ALBUMS, ADHESIVES, GEMS, FOAM STAMPS, DUPLICATE STUFF THATS IN ROOM AND NEED TO STORE, AND SO ON...

WELL, THATS ALL FOLKS... HOPE YOU ENJOYED! IT TOOK ME FOREVER, BUT I GOT IT DONE!!! WOO HOOOOOO!

HAVE THE CRAFTIEST DAY!

THE MOVE & PICS OF NEW HOUSE

WELL.... ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I POSTED! SO MUCH NEWS! I MOVED TO PA FROM NY ON 12/20/08. BEEN REALLY TOUGH AS WE ARE ALL HOMESICK AND TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE PAINS OF ADJUSTING. MY HUSBAND IS STILL IN NY WORKING, THANKS TO THE ECONOMY :( SO THAT IS REALLY TOUGH ON ME TOO. I HAVE BEEN BUSY SETTING UP HOUSE AND TRAVELING TO NY AND HAVING MY KIDS FRIENDS COME TO PA... JUST TO KEEP IN CONTACT. LOTS OF HEALTH THINGS GOING ON, BUT DOCTORS HERE IN PA ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN NY, SO WE ARE GETTING ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS! THE AREA HERE IS SO GORGEOUS AND I AM CLOSE TO EVERY STORE AND FOOD PLACE IMAGINABLE! THE MALL IS 1.5 MILES AWAY AND MICHAELS IS .35 MILES AWAY! I HAVE A DENNY'S AND A DQ RIGHT DOWN THE STREET TOO!!! WOOOO HOOOOO! BUT THE BEST PART IS IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE I LIVE THAT CLOSE TO EVERYTHING. MY BACKYARD AND SIDE YARD IS A GOLF COURSE AND ACROSS THE STREET IS FARM AND MOUNTAINS! NO MATTER WHAT WINDOW YOU LOOK OUT OF, IT IS A VISION FROM HEAVEN! SO HERE ARE SOME SHOTS OF THE HOUSE (FORGOT TO ADD PICS OF THE KIDS ROOMS... WILL DO THAT AS SOON AS I TAKE SOME) BUT READ THE POSTS BELOW AS I PUT PICS IN DIFFERENTS POSTS. THIS POST WILL HAVE PICS OF SOME OF THE VIEWS...

This is looking down left from my front door.... barns & houses.


This is looking out the sunroom window to the right... that is the 11th hole I think.

This is out straight back from my sunroom

More front views... mountains, farm, houses, barn.

Out the back the day we moved in... the shed is ours.. the house isnt... boy it snows a lot here in PA!!!

The golfcourse at sunset... isnt that gorgeous!

Out front the day we moved in.

The master bedroom & craftroom.

The craftroom... still a room in progress... but I have been working on it here and there~ You have seen my house in NY.... well, my craftroom there was a whole basement... and now I am trying to fit it all in one bedroom! Its taking awhile to fit & figure out! Plus, hubby wont let me keep my computer in my bedroom anymore, so now I had to fit that in my craftroom too!

This is the room before I got ahold of it!

And here it is after.................. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The back of the closet door & behind the closet.

The inside of the closet door.


Part of the huge walk in closet before I got to it....

After I got to it!!!

More of the room! I really have gotten a lot done... you should of seen it when it was full of boxes! But now its just a matter of putting away and organizing the rest of it. I got a lot of the storage at auctions (they are so fun!! we didnt have auctions in NY!) as most of my storage items from my old craftroom are still in my NY house. So we got all new (old) stuff here.

The Master Bedroom- Yes, I know... its Tarzan... but those of you who know me, know I love the jungle motif and my whole house in NY was safari.... so I am right at home in this room! Its not decorated like a master bedroom... but I love it that way!

My daughter the 16 yo photographer (lol) took this shot so you could see all the mural and out into the hallway. The closet is also here on the left. This shot was taken the day we moved in.

The closet. Which my daughter still cant believe I gave up the huge walk in closet in the craftroom for this one! But she doesnt realize that behind these walls is a huge room that has built in dressers and hanging racks! I am not stupid you know!

Awwww, the lion family at the foot of my unmade bed.... I never make my bed... I am just going to mess it up later anyways!
