Well, it seems that everything is calming down ...
The storm went through our hobby room too, but that's about to change!! [Jul 08 - Sep 09] Since my worktable was already a mess, I decided to finally purge the closet [something that really needed to be done], so I could reorganize some of my stuff, which was under my worktable, in it.
The hobby room was a mess during all the Summer because I wanted to reorganize it the best way for me.
Here you have the before/after pics. Enjoy!!

"Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out." – Tina Turner.
I knew about Scrapbooking in the USA, back in 98/99. I was on and off for a few years till I decided to give it a try again in Oct 05. I’m not making too much stuff lately but I feel great when I let my creativity fly. You can check some of my projects in my Flickr page following the link below… feel free to make any comment…
