Spring cleaning continues…

By saying I will post, you are really pushing me to clean up my studio.  Thank you for all the compliments, and suggestions.  I have already changed a few things.  There was also so many questions, ranging from paint color, where I got my pieces of furniture, to where I got my vintage coffee cups…  You have to take in considerations that I have been a demonstrator x 4 1/2 years and a stamper since Stampin'up! has started in Canada.  Some of the pieces I bought on my own, some are in storage for a dear friend and the rest of them, my husband bought for me on different occasions like Christmas and my birthday etc.  He owns a construction business in Toronto, well actually Mississauga, Ontario and when December comes, I go with him to the big city for his staff's Christmas party and one of my first stop is Pottery Barn:)

This is my favorite Stamping spot!  It gets crazy messy.  Actually, I haven't seen it look like this in a long time!  In the summer I get the Ottawa river view!  Right now, it's a view of ridiculously huge snow banks:(  Anyway, it's the perfect spot to create!  In my baskets, I store all my products.

On the opposite side is where I store all my big shot dies, I love that stampin up has added these box for die storage.  They come in 3 different sizes:  Small die box #122219, Medium die box #122220 and Large die box #122221

I found this vintage piece of furniture and it's one of my favorites in my studio.  Right now it stores my clear stamp sets but my goal is to display my 3D creations.

I hope you are enjoying part two, of my stamping space. You can view part one here.  I still have 2 more spots to share, one is where my guests and downline stamp and the other is my office.  My office is the worst place.  I am so not good with paperwork. Maybe you should give me a few suggestions on how to get organized there, Pretty please…

My friend Veronique came to stamp with me this afternoon.  We came up with a beautiful gift for a dear friend of hers with a matching card.  I can't wait to share with you tomorrow.

If you would like to stamp with me, book a party with your friends or check out my class schedule,  or join my team and you can attend my classes and monthly meetings, I would love to stamp with you!

Spring Cleaning

It's been almost 1 Year since Shelli Gardner, ceo and co-founder of Stampin'up! & her daughter Sara came to my studio because I was one of the winners of a workshop of a lifetime.  More pics HERE.    Get to read how I won the challenge.  Although, I didn't make many changes in my studio then, I did tidy it up for two of the most wonderful ladies.  Well lately I have been slacking on the cleaning and creating a little too much.  So since I don't get to host with Shelli and Sara, I said to myself that I needed to tidy up again!  Even if they are not coming for a visit anytime soon:(

So in the next few days, weeks I promise to share pics of my studio and how I am organizing it to make it more functional for me and my clients.  And if I get really excited, I will even give you a tour via video!  So, are you excited & ready?  I will start with my first pics tomorrow or I could say today since it's 1am and I can't sleep!  After all, I do need to tidy for Melissa's workshop in the next few hours!  It reminds me, I have a few more dates left for a party with your friends, and there are only 30 days left before sale-a-bration ends. 

So book now and you and your customers could qualify for free products!

Ok it's now lunch time, I did manage to take a few pics.  Here is my coffee station.  Not for me, I don't drink coffee and never even tasted it.  It's the coffee and tea station for my class and workshop attendees!  They get to chose their favorite blend.  And below, in the baskets are all my punches.  Yes, I have to thank a dear demonstrator friend, Trina who suggested it.  The decor element above the piece of vintage furniture is called Très Chic, and comes in different sizes and colors.  You only get to see part of it in the picture.

My ribbon & button station.  I love how my furniture has frosty windows:)  So you don't get to see the mess inside!  And I love Stampin'up!  definitely decorative products.  The white daisies are called Upsy Daisies #117927.  Check it out on the right in my definitely decorative brochure.

And this piece of furniture is where I store my ink pads and wheels.  I hope you like my first mini tour in my studio.  If you haven't seen my kids stamp room click here.  Wait there is more, this is just a teaser,(wink)

Better yet, come to my next class to view the changes in person and bring a friend!

Please share a comment on how you get organized in your stamp space and I'll have a handmade blog candy for one of the post!
