we have been scrapbooking together for the past few days in a row while yindi naps...its our special time together and i love it - we chat, listen to music and make a big mess!
here are a few little pics of my newly organised stuff...
(wall baskets are awesome and from the bathroom section of ikea!)
(folded up fabric is a new concept for me...but much nicer looking than crumpled up in a big basket on the floor)
(wooden drawers from flea market and smell very strange when you open them...hehe...i keep all my stamps and stampy stuff in these)
ivy was busting out the layouts, i forgot to take pics of them but they were gorgeous and full of ivy techniques!
oh i love to look at freshly organized stuff!
so sweet that you and your daughter share a passion for the same hobby! I'm jealous....but hey...maybe one of my boys will like to scrapbook...???? is that too girly for a boy??? their daddy might think so?!

My 9-year-old duaghter (only girl with 3 brothers) loves to scrapbook with me. We have a great time! She also has a couple of friends who create with their moms, too, so we all get togethers once in a while.

Love your space..very cool organization. And the folded fabric looks very enticing!

great space - glad you're making time to scrap!!!

Lovin' the view! I too have a new space in our new home to scrap & stamp! It feels so good to have a new space! I have a few pic on my blog - but I'll have to add some more! David got me the coolest new paper sorter!!! My jars are up on my shelf - but most of them are still empty! Still deciding which embellies get the priveledge of habitating the jars! LOL!
BTW- We were at a lovely flea market last weekend and Aedan spotted a little koala there and said it looked just like the one you sent him! He just adores you for that!
Have a great day! Anna-Marie

I've been working on my studio/craft room since we moved back and hope to have it looking as inspiring as yours soon. Hope all is well :)

Your room looks great! Was the shelving built in? If they were - how totally cool! My little scrapspace has a sink in it...it should be a spare bedroom, which is a little odd to have a sink in it - but it is really, really convenient!
Really like how everything came together and that you and Ivy have your own space and time together. That has got to make her feel super special! Next time, share her LOs! We'd love to see them! xo

I love those wooden drawers. Right up my alley!
And where is this alleged mess?
Posted by: suetreiber | July 25, 2007 at 03:39 PM
that certainly does sound like a very happy afternoon.
how soon until yindi will be asking for her acrylic paints
and rub-ons?
your new space is looking great.

I would love it if you would share some of your techniques for scrapping with your daughter. Thanks for the continued inspiration.
