Craft Room Update, How to "Kiss with Stamps" Video and more

 Hello my crafty friends, 
Things are beginning to look up and I am so excited for each day I have. My energy levels come and go but, so far so good at this point and time. Still battling a day or two here & there but, I am so much better than I have been in over a year. How Blessed I have been to have my hubby and my girls help me when I have been at my worst.
I need to get back to my crafting so I can share more with you. My Craft Wall is nearly done. I still have so much to do, but it is getting there. Just two pics for now. My table top is no longer that red/black trim. it's now a beautiful Lagoon/Brown trim. Let me tell you..the Spray paint method with Kyron's 2 in one coat is the best.
Above~The basics from a few weeks ago to Below~All my everyday Craft needs on this section of the wall with in reach when I am busy creating.
You see here, I used my daughters old baby bed springs (springs are about 20 yrs. old) painted to match the table and am using as a wall hanging to pin my most recent art work or other items I may need close by.
This downsizing event took a lot out of me and I had to take about four days to recover from this first part of it. 
I still have another Ikea book shelf and 3 floor shelves to fit in here somewhere. Along with another room full of items to purge/sell/throw out. Hopefully it will all be done by August 24th. That's my deadline~BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. We'll see how that holds up to everyday life challenges in the VanWoerden Household. Wish Me Luck!!!

Lately I've been busy learning all I can about what's in our new 2013 FALL/WINTER IDEA BOOK. What a joy to browse through my book and see all the amazing inspiration and new products. Can't wait to use the new papers and most of all the CLOSE TO MY HEART "ARTBOOKING" Cricut Cartridge. It is better than slice bread...LOL! Seriously, it is....LOL!!

While I am tweaking my schedule and life in general, thought I would share this simple stamping technique I use often. Some of you stamping veterans may know this already & just need a refresher course or you are new to stamping and would love to see multiple ways to use our Acrylix Stamps. So simply kissable...LOL

Such a simple little technique with a big WOW factor. Love doing this with so many of my projects. Hope you enjoyed this little Video from Close To My Heart. The Ideas are also a plus. 
Now, get to crafting and enjoy each precious moment in the everyday ordinary or not so ordinary journey in your  life.
Thank you so much for stopping by. 
Remember, Contact me if you would like to have the NEW FALL/WINTER IDEA BOOK.
