Valentine Cupcake Teacher Treats

V-Day in Paris Eiffel Tower and Poodle Sugar Cookies

I wanted to do cookies for V-Day other than hearts and I thought, what could be more romantic than Paris. So I attempted the colossal tower and overly-manicured pooch and I am pleasantly pleased at the outcome. Happy Valentines Day everyone.

I love the play on words...yes, I did create this phrase...Eiffel in love with you.

She is definitely the Queen...A pretty in pink Queen that is.

So cute.

I can't wait to have a Paris theme party...maybe for my daughter's 12th b-day if nothing else comes up.

So sassy this girl!

One night in Paris.

Operation Craft Haven-Project Renovation

For over a year now I have been doing research on Google image for inspiration on storage ideas and how to create a space to call my "Crafter's Haven". In 2 years, I have changed up my storage and workstation at least three times that my husband said to me if I am going to do this again, I'd better do it right. I agreed with him wholeheartedly. The long overdue project has been completed thanks to my architects, demolition crew, construction workers and waste management team...Hubby, Sissy, Brother in-law and yours truly:) This Fabulous Foursome conquered this project in 3 days. Three storage cabinets, 1 repainted drawer converted desk, 60 plastic shoe box storage bins and a new wall shelving unit later-See the transformation of "My Crafter's Haven".

This is my logo and first craft project on my new work station.

The most exciting part was putting together the little details.

1) Old drawer I used as a buffet table which I converted into my desk. A little bit of sand paper and spray paint did magic to this desk and brought it to life again. I will decoupage the top of the desk with some cards I've made and decorative paper then throw a sheet of plexiglass for extra protection. 2) Built in shelving for an amazing decorative effect. 3) Time and patience= a beautiful place to create.

Embellishments that were previously smooshed in containers are now arranged in jars to show off it's beauty. The gerber daisy flower arrangements are pens-dual action going.

If you are like me, you know what I mean when I say that you can never have enough space and places to put stuff. Well with a quick organized fix such as these plastic shoe containers, you can find a place for everything hard to part with.

I have to admit that it was such a hot mess in my house whenever I crafted. I could never find anything I needed. Clutter, clutter, clutter was all it was!!! Eclectic storage bins and old boxes housed my supplies and materials. It was chaotic but I still managed to have fun in the chaos!!! Now everything in themes has it's special place and that absolutely puts a smile on my face:)

Before and After-must I say more? I'm loving the fact that I am sitting in my Haven writing this blog with all access! Thanks for visiting...see you soon.
