As always, my life keeps me busy! I've been stamping… however my little family has been keeping me busy too!
There's home improvements:
…a special TOUR at the White House:
*I just love how my family can go from silly to formal in a split second.*
And of course… Organization! It really seems like the "organization" process of "moving in" takes forever. If you knew how many times I've rearranged my stamp room you would laugh. Nothing really works until you put it to the test. When I start to create -it's a disaster. I cannot find anything!! This brings me to more organization and before I know it 2 am is here. UGH! Seriously, my stamping time typically doesn't start until 9pm. I work all day upstairs in the house decorating/organizing. Once those sweet chick's go to bed I climb downstairs to let my mind unwind.
In between the silly's and touring the Greater DC area I've had my personal pity parties. These tend to come after I talk to my friends far away. It's okay, really! I'm still allowed more pity parties for a good two months. <smile> Pity parties are good for me. They make me reflect on all the great things in my life when I think everything is in the toilet! Russ is a great listener and knows when to answer with, "Yes Dear!" and not give advice-Just listen!
I finally have the next installment of the rest of my craft room. Keep in mind this room will change many times over until I get it just "right!" The room is big and I love it. It's missing one important thing right now… PEOPLE! Guess what? It will have GOOD people in it on Saturday for my first workshop! I'm SUPER excited!!!! There is room for LOTS and LOTS of stampers. <wink> So… take a peek!

I just want you to know that I'm packing up right now and moving in with you!! I absolutely love the basement and am green with envy with all the room you have!!! It's GREAT! I love all the decorations – you so inspire me! I love the scrapbook pages on the wall – too cute!!!! I'm sure that room will be hoppin full of people real soon who will fall in love with you!!! 🙂
Absolutely beautiful craft room. Love all your samples you have out. Love the seasonal table with all the halloween goodies. I would love to know where you got the organizing station that your big shot is on. What a fabulous idea! Love following your blog. Your work is impecable!
Fantastic!!!! I LOVE it!!! If I weren't 8 months pregnant in NM I be there today to stamp with you 🙂 I love all your samples and work!!! Thanks for sharing you're truly an inspiration!!!!
I am inspired by your organization skills, please update videos as your room evolves! After living in 4 houses, 3 states, in 2 years I can relate to the occaisional (moving) pity party…. question: how did you get your first workshop scheduled so quickly? Thank-you for sharing. P.S. Am originally from Iowa, thoroughly enjoyed your stories.
Your space is amazing and inspirational! I would love to be that organized! Please share with us how you met the person who is holding your first workshop so quickly! I wish I lived closer to you – I bet your workshops are so much fun!
I am with Kat how are you already having a class with people? I just moved and joined Stampin Up. I have been following your blog (joining to try your bag, mini and card idea). But would love some more direction:) Thanks for sharing.
I want your basement! You remember how there are no basements here in Florida — or at least they are few and far between?? I'm so jealous. Awesome space and lots of great organization ideas! Enjoy your first workshop — I bet you get bunches of bookings.
Hi Kimberly
I love your videos, all the stamping and I can't wait till tomorow. We are very excited to do more craft with you tomorow. see u 🙂
Kimberly, you are just too funny! Your photo at the Home Improvement Store is PRICELESS! But your craft room and teaching area is GREAT! I love all of your "pretties".
Great success on your work shop this week-end.
P.S. I've given out several packets with my business card, stamped card, & mini catalog this past week by going to a couple of different places and stamping. So hopefully they will start paying off. Thank you for all your wisdom.
Oh. My. Goodness. Your stamping room is incredible! I love all your inspiration pieces! I am so not organized with my stuff… nor do I have anywhere near the amount of "pretties" you have… I need to get working! ;o)
Thanks so much for sharing and lots of luck with your first workshop — I'm sure everyone will have a blast …
You are an inspiration!
Wow. That is total awesomness! I think your whole basement is even bigger than our house! That is so stinkin' cool.
Oh my gosh Kimberly, the picture of your family in home depot is priceless!! I love it!
Thanks for sharing your stamp room with us. I wish that I could have a space like that but It will come soon as we are finishing our basement…yippeee!! I really like how you have tons of displays for your customers to see.
I was wondering where did you get that cute tree that you have your halloween goodies on and as you were showing your tables, what were those white things in front of each spot?
Can't wait to hear about your workshop!!
Anne
Love your space! Quick question – on your tables for attendees you had a box before each space. What is in the box and what it is for?
I have to say congrats for getting organized so quickly after the recent move. Hope you share about your first workshop with the new customers. New customers= excitement and the beginning of something grand!
Wow! Congrats on all the business success! I did not realize how much it has grown in the past several years. 🙂
I love your space! Absolutely beautiful… thanks for showing us… Debra at Pungo Stamper said I should come take a look and I'm glad I found the video… you've made my night!
