Elizabeth's room of sCRAP!

This is the very last of my scraproom tours I have.
Makes me a little sad because I don't have any more to work on (hint hint!) and because it seems like lightyears since I've seen this girl.
In the beginning of this video, you can see how I got the great product for the scrapMYcrap challenge over at SYC this week.
You can't hear Elizabeth talking but I swear when I watched it last night, even without the volume on, I could hear her like I was there all over again.
Man, I miss you guys!

Now a little bit about my buddy...

Name: Elizabeth Manna

Blog Address: My Own Lil Space

Etsy shoppe: good morning sunshine

Before you had a whole Room, where did you craft?: In my old house I carved me outta a space in my bedroom or I would use the dining room table…when I lived at mom’s for that year, I scrapped in her poker room.

What are 3 words you would use to describe your room?: MINE, over-stocked, serene

What do you love most about your room?: The fact that the windows occupy almost a whole wall (even though I need that wall space) but it lets in the most amazing sunlight. Plus, I get to look outside into the country.

Least?: As you can see I have entirely too much crap. This stems from being a hoarder, but I can’t get rid of it (see?!) and plan on using it all one day. Having all that crap though has come in handy in the past so I shouldn’t complain.

If you could change one thing about your room, what would it be?: More wall space to hang things. Unfortunately due to having a ton o’crap, my wall space is occupied with shelves.

What do you think is the coolest thing in your room?: Would be the shelve that you see with all my paints in it. My mom scored this at a yard sale. Actually she bought it from another customer for $10-$15 (I can’t really remember). Can you believe that price though??

How do you keep "organized" in your room?: Actually in the video this is the cleanest my room has been….lol. One thing that really helps me is to clean up as I go if possible. This is the biggest tip that I could offer anyone.

What do you own the most of?: Oh good grief…I have a lot of everything especially ribbon, paper, and stamps.

Do you craft sitting or standing?: sitting

Do you listen to music, tv, chat on the phone while working?: MUSIC….nothing like some classic rock to scrap too!

What crafts do you dabble in?: I like to make jewelry, play around with fabric, knit, cross stitch, play around with paints, and all sorts of other crafty stuff. If its crafty, I’m there.

Now how about a look at all her fabulous stuff...

Nancy Jones' room of sCRAP

I can't believe it has been a month since I was down south visiting all my scrappy girlfriends.
Feels much longer actually.
And I miss the awesome 70 degree weather, can I just tell ya we had snow again yesterday!
And I miss talking in scrap lingo with people who get it, everyone around here looks at me like I am bonkers if I use the word scraplift.
But I can't imagine the insanity if we all lived in the same town, I don't think one town could survive all us girls.

When I was in Mississippi, I was so lucky to get a chance to drive on over to Alabama (why not?) and finally meet Nancy Jones.
I've known Nancy online for a while and have always thought that her and I would always be a good match in a sarcasm contest.
And I was right.
She is a zillion times better in person, my face hurt from smiling and laughing when we left.
And an amazing scrapper, in both quality and quantity.
That lady scraps a lot!

So, here's a little info on my buddy Nancy and look inside her awesome room of sCRAP.

Least?: it can always be bigger.

What do you own the most of?: patterned paper

Do you craft sitting or standing?: both

Greta's room of sCRAP!

Before I leave for sunny and warm Jamaica where I will instantly burn when I step foot off the plane, I wanted to share one more video from my Miss-adventure.
A look inside my buddy Greta's scrappin' lair.
If I ever thought I had too much stuff, I was totally validated in Mississippi, those girls have a lot of stuff!

EDITED: I just wanna add that those drawers that are all nice and conveniently closed are filled to the max with CRAP! Seriously...she knows how to pack it in when she hears the camera's coming!

Michele's Room of Crap

Ok people...you ask, I provide.
An all new video!
A little look inside Michele Kovack's room of crap!

First, you should know, Michele and I are the best of buds.
I think we were the second we met actually.
I spotted her out of an entire crowd at CHA last summer.
And the first time we chatted, I knew we were cut from the same cloth.
Me a little less straight of a cut, but all the same fabric.
So like all my other buds, she humors me when I suggest...Hey, let's make a video!
She's good like that.
And when I tell her, I'm gonna ask ya some questions, OK?
She doesn't even ask beforehand what they are or if I know what I am going to say.
(I didn't)
And she let me take these pictures of her stuff too!




So, I just love her.
And she is just the cutest and one of the best gal pals a girl can ask for.
This video is a little goofy, but a good glance at her room.
And the little voice you hear chiming in would be her son Kyle who couldn't help but comment while he watched the moms acting all goofy.
For more about Michele and her awesome creations, you can check her out HERE.
Be sure to let her know you saw her here.

And if anyone else wants me to visit their room of crap, all it takes is an invite!
Enjoy!
