Freedom Friday


The Before













Well it was April 24th 2007 that I did a Tackle it Tuesday and my job was to redo our Craft room. We have affectionately called it the "Crap Room" ever since we moved in. I have now deemed today "Freedom Friday" since I cleaned out the room and can enjoy all that it was meant to be and I am FREE of any clutter.


It now has a place for everything and the kids can go in there and find the crayons, construction paper, markers and coloring books. I even have a spot for scrap booking. Yes that is right ladies...I am now scrap booking!!! Plus I can wrap a present in there and not have to look for scissors or tape. The kids know that my drawer is off limits.


I am in the process of growing my seeds for my garden in there as well. I will be sure to show off what I have been able to grow and eat this summer. Maybe a pumpkin for this fall too!!!


So, I guess my ambition to clean the room took longer, but I now enjoy it more and can appreciate all the fun things we can create. I just love it when my kids color for me!!!

That looks great Shana! I'm feeling inspired. Although probably not enough to actually tackle a room myself! Heather

Hey, Shana! I haven't blogged in forever--sorry, since you were one of my loyal readers! I plan to start up again soon.
Your craft room looks great--I am inspired to work at some of my messes! Maybe this week when the big kids are at Tilikum.
I am glad you're starting a garden--how's it going? We're just starting to get our raspberries and zucchini (my favorites), and we've already had peas, spinach, and lettuce for awhile.

Jim always tells me when he sees you visiting back at church. Obviously, he takes the kids to their classes more than I do.
