It was a really busy weekend in the studio and I was barely online at all! I thought I'd take a picture on Saturday and Sunday so you could see what I was up to. There was a TON of crafting going on trying to get ready for the craft show this week called "Craft Off The Lot" in Toronto. It runs for 4 days, Thursday through Sunday. I just got an invitation to participate at the end of October so I've been madly trying to get enough cards together for a 4 day long event! It's been tough because I'm right in the middle of mid-terms at university. Thankfully my man pitched in and got crafty too! I couldn't have got so much done with out him :)
Hey everyone!
I'm SUPER busy right now trying to get ready for http://craftoffthelot.com/
but I didn't want to leave you hanging with no updates so I took a quick picture of what's going on in the studio! I've been spending all my extra time in here and as you can see I'm making some good progress! That's 40 unfinished butterfly cards you're looking at. I'm hoping to finish them up by tomorrow and move on to paper ornaments and Christmas greeting cards! Stay tuned for more updates :)
(Sing along if you'd like)
It's just another manic monday.
I wish it was Sunday.
Cus that's my fun day.... my I don't have to run day.
Now that we've got that out of the way...
Another week has started and I already feel like I need another weekend. I was exhausted all weekend but had to push myself to prep for the Halloween craft show I'm participating in on Sunday. I made 11 of these Halloween pop up cards, packaged and priced all my halloween cards, and dug out my "craft show bin". This week I have to make new signs for the craft show, package and price my candles, and attempt to stay sane a pass a stats exam on Thursday morning. It's going to be a busy week with an even busier weekend to follow.
After the craft show this weekend I'll be packing up all my Halloween craft supplies until next summer. I've created a number of Christmas pieces already but I need a clean, organized space to make more :) I can't wait until my workspace looks like this again:
See more pictures of my workspace in this flickr set. You'll see what it looks like right now - which is just plain scared LOL.
I haven't posted a studio update in a while so I thought I would share a few pictures of my creations "in progress" for the Bazaar of the Bizarre.
You may notice that these pictures aren't actually taken in my studio, but rather our kitchen table! I have so many projects on the go right now my creations have spilled out into the rest of the house!
I'm not going to say too much able the pictures below because they are more of a "sneak peek" at what I'll have a the show (nope, you can't get these goodies online this year!).
The picture above isn't something I'm cooking up for the bazaar, oh no, these are cookies were baked because I needed energy to keep me creating! What could be more fitting than Halloween sugar cookies while getting ready for the Bazaar of the Bizarre? lol. I love sugar cookies and I love Halloween so these are pretty close to my idea of heaven haha ;)
Here's a picture of my studio from today. Can you believe this is what my work space looks like when it's "clean yet productive"?! If it's any cleaner than this you know I'm not getting anything done because all those embellishments, rolls of ribbon, and other supplies are put away.
Every month I like to run a fun series. Every Monday I post a new blog entry in the featured series. Last month, I featured the "Super Resource List Series" which included a current look at my personal bookmarks for Crafty Blogs, Other Blog Stuff, Twitter Resources, and Misc Resources. If you missed last month's series, you missed out on some great resources! Don't worry though, you can follow the links above and get in the loop :)
This month my feature series is called "My Artist Studio Series: A Closer Look at Where I Work". I really hope other people share their work spaces too because I love to see where other people get creative. BTW, Flickr has some great artsy workspaces.
Last week I showed you some of the goodies by my wooden work table. This week (the final post of this series), I'm featuring my drafting table. Yes, it's a drafting table that I don't do any "drafting" on hehe.
Above is a close up of the things on top of the "drafting" table.
Above are some fun jars that I picked up at the Dollar Store. I plan to sort out my paper craft embellishments into by seasonal theme (Christmas, Halloween, etc).

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at where I work this month!

Above is the other bulletin board in my studio. It's a "just for fun" space right now. It has lots of pictures and other goodies (can you spot the spider tattoos?).
Above is a few orders that I was processing when I took these pictures :)
Above is my little stash of post it notes, note cards, markers, pens, and pencils.

Check out another area of my studio next Monday!
Until then, please share your studio space :)

Above is a look at what was going on in my studio on Friday! This is what I saw for most of the day! I got a lot of done though. I can't wait to share all my new creations. Drew is building me a light box so when that is done I'll be sure to upload all my new goodies to my shop ... that is the goodies that all my "offline" friends don't get to first - one of the perks to being an "offline friend" - they get to all my goodies before anyone online ever sees them! ha ha.
Ok, now on with the Monday series...

Last week I shared a corner of the studio that holds the majority of my art supplies. This week I'll be showing you what's next to all the craft supplies in my ikea storage solution.
Above is where I store finished cards, die cuts, extra paper, some of my stamps, office supplies, packing supplies, etc.
Above is a few of my "Stampin' Around" stamps and my Halloween take-out containers that hold even more stamps.
Above is some of my promotional supplies and even more Halloween take-out containers! I couldn't just have one - when I found them I had to get at least a few of every design he he.
Above is a picture of my paper punches. They are on the floor because I've run out of room! I really need to get some shelves put up.

Here's a look at what I was up to this weekend - You'll notice that I was very busy in the studio! There will be lots of updates to my AF shop in the next little while because Drew finished building the light box for me this weekend! I can't wait to use it and share all my latest creations in high quality pictures! On another note, I had the pleasure of seeing Coraline this weekend. It was no Nightmare Before Christmas, but a keeper nonetheless. :)

Last week I showed you the window in my studio and all the goodies that it holds. This week I'll be sharing a corner of the studio that holds the majority of my art supplies.
Above is one of my bulletin boards where I post all the orders I need to fill. I also have a few tools that I use a lot, business cards, return mailing labels, a few other notes (like a supply list), die cut examples, and stamps. There are also a few other goodies attached to it at the moment - bat templates and a bat mobile that I still need to assemble.
Above is a close-up of "Zero" on my TNBC calendar.
Above is a picture where I store a lot of my craft supplies. In the first tower (on the left), the bottom red basket holds my solid coloured cardstock. The middle holds tools, glitter, ink, etc. The top basket holds embellishments for paper crafts (yes, I actually have a whole basket JUST for embellishments haha). The very top of this tower holds some finished cards and those glittery Christmas tree embellishments because they wont fit into the basket right now. In the next tower, the bottom red basket holds all my die cuts and embossing folders (it's currently overflowing!). The next red basket hold all my gocco supplies (bulbs, drying racks, master screens). Next, there is a red basket full of new supplies that I'm using for an extra special project :). Next, the tower on the right, has our "junk drawer" on the bottom, a tup of all my ribbon, and my Big Shot machine on top of that.
Above is a close up of that extra special project I mentioned above. I bet you can guess what I'm up to now :)

This week I'm letting you have a peek at the window in my studio and all the goodies it holds. My Plurk and Twitter friends already had a sneak peek but now I'll show you even more!
Above is an overview of the window and my beloved curtains in all their glory! As many of you know, I'm a HUGE "The Nightmare Before Christmas" fan and basically celebrate Halloween all year long.
Above is a closer look at the goodies that live on the window cill. 2 of my TNBC mugs that arrived broken in the mail (2 others arrived safely and we use them often), NES Super Mario Brothers toys (Princess Peach and a Chain Chomp), a Christmas decoration (see below), a photo frame of my dog and I, and my black rose in a sweet holder (see below).
And you thought I only celebrated Halloween all year long! Although I don't go "all out" for Christmas like I do for Halloween, I do celebrate Christmas in my own little (morbid) way, he he. Above is the only Christmas decoration that stays out all year long. It's a "Living Deadarium X-mas Edition: Candy Rot" that I purchased on Etsy from "BlackthornCreations". It is one of my purchases from Etsy.
Above is a closer look at my black rose being "held" by my favourite "vase" hehe. I got both of them a few years ago at Michael's.

I can't wait to be back to my studio! I've changed the curtains in this room.... they are Nightmare Before Christmas now! I also don't have that dell laptop anymore. I'm working on a MacBook Pro now :)
My new home office/crafting space is all set up now! I'm so happy everything fit! haha. Everything is looking neat and tidy the way I like it! We're going to put up some shelving soon so the supplies that are still in boxes have a home too! I definitely spend most of my time in here.
Right now I'm swamped with school work so unfortunately I don't have the chance to be too creative! I'm spending a lot of time in this room studying and trying to figure out biology. 5 more weeks and I get 2 weeks off before the fall term starts. I can't wait, I'll actually be able to use the "craft room" for crafts! I'm going to sleep in and stay up all night getting crafty! It's going to be great :)
More pictures of the new craft room can be seen here:

Right now this is where I'm doing my crafting. I'm trying to keep it as neat and as organized as possible in this little space. When I move I should have my very own crafting room! That will help me keep the "business" in one room and shut the door when i want to...instead of having it all out in the open in the little apartment.
This picture was taken in May, so it's a bit out of date! there's a lot more boxes around now! Supplies seem to be spilling out everywhere! I can't wait for the move to start so it can be over and I can get all set in my "permanent" crafting area!
