Our design team make an effort to visit and comment
on every single entry, but the word verification
prompt is making it harder to do each week.
Word verification has been causing many designer's
computers to literally 'lock up' which in turn does
not allow us to let you know we stopped by.

"I love crafts!
Really...I can't get enough of them.
Thankfully, my sweet husband Chase knew
that long before he married me. He had seen the
many scrapbooks lining my shelves!
If you've seen any of my videos, you know I
am from the south...Nashville to be exact.
Six months ago I started to design my own
stamps and running my own company.
It's certainly been an adventure, but I've loved
every minute of it. I invite you to come see me
soon at Practicing Creativity Designs."
Your host for this week's challenge is
Let's see where she creates.....
"My creative space is my studio in my our home.
We converted a garage into a studio and utility area.
It's a work in progress and there is still much to be done.
Overall organization is important. For instance, I want to
replace my horrible old plastic boxes for some cute,
fabric bags and make everything look more 'girly'!
I used to work out of cupboards in the dining room
and under our stairs, so this is a definite improvement!
For some reason, I am very messy when I create. I get
an idea in my mind and then after I rummage,
it looks as if 20 people have been making cards instead of
just lil 'ol me!
you will pop by and say hi!"
