Make it from the Heart Monday

I'm blessed to have a wonderful creative place!!!!! My husband and I have a large barn that we share for our hobbies and family time.  The barn was a mess!!!!!

Now, how many people know someone who is an organizer extraordinaire, will I do and her name is Charla.   Charla  is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet and she is also a crafter so she knows most of that stuff is totally necessary and the importance of that stash we all have.

So today I'm sharing a couple of picture of my space.  There has taken many hours but so worth it.



It is so nice for everything to have a place and Charla made all this possible. So my Make It From The Heart Monday post is in honor of Charla!!!!!!!

Gina K Changelle and Mojo Monday Design



I have said many times I'm not very creative but I copy well.  I visit blogs, website and receive many email each week and yesterday I received an email from Gina K Design about a challenge- Black, White and Red, which are 3 colors, I do love. And if the truth was known, those where my school colors so they are near and dear to my heart. So then I visited Mojo Monday, I know, I know it's was Tuesday but i didn't make it there Monday. So anyway I like going to the sketches by the year.

Something just clicked when I saw sketch # 384  and here is my creation with a little help from my friends Gina K Design and Mojo Monday.
