Things are coming along, .......slowly, but coming!!!

Hey guys, I thought I would give you a little update, of my craft room.  I have been condensing, sorting, separating, shipping, and every other ing word that you can think of!!  Here are a few pictures of my new storing cabinets, they are the white ones.  I love the wide ones, they are not very deep, but they are 13-1/2 " wide, so it fits everything over 12" and that is so hard to come by!! Here they are, I will keep you updated!!!

Hi All!!

Well I just am here for a quick update (now we all know that I do not have the capacity to do quick) but I will give it a shot!! I have all of my knew storage units from IKEA set up, and in my craft room, and it looks so good, as long as you don't turn around, and look at the other side!! haha. They are all empty of course, but I am trying to decide where I should put things, you know, what do I use the most? what is the best set up, I would love to use something, and have it be easy to put it away, and not let things pile up and get out of control!  I was planning to work in there last night, but my baby (in real terms that is my youngest child who is 16) wasn't feeling well, so I sat with him, and then we were up all night, hew was so sick, I felt so bad, there was nothing I could do. The poor guy, was on the toilet, and throwing up in the trash at the same time.  It was awful. I am hoping that he will get some sleep today, and I can get something done. I am also picking out paint colors for my whole house, it is so overwhelming!! If anyone knows of a warm yellow color, that doesn't look so cold on the wall, I don't know if anyone understands that but if you do, and would love to share, that would be great!! Ok, I am ending here, because, this is supposed to be short, remember??  I will be back, I am going through crafting withdrawals so I hope to make something soon!! Karen♥

Hey Girls!!

Hey Everyone!! I just wanted to give you a quick update on how things are coming!! I don't even know where to start, I guess I will start with my horrifying dentist story.  I told you all that I broke my tooth, and my unbelievable fear of the dentist, but when you break a tooth, you kind of have no choice but to go.  I went to the dentist that we have been going to for a while(I should say that my husband has been going to for a while) when I bit a pretzel and thought I broke my tooth, well I went (reluctantly) to the dentist, and they took some x-rays, and they told me that I broke my tooth, and that it was infected, and that if I wanted to save the tooth, I had to have a root canal, and have a crown put on.  He then told me that I had to make an appt with an Endontist (I think, that is what it is called, but since my spell check is bright yellow over it, something tells me that I am wrong) anyway, he gave me a card of a practice that had like 6 doctors on it, and he circled one guy, that he said that he only wanted this certain dentist to do the root canal.  Well the guys office was like 45 mins from my house, and they didn't use the gas, which I know that I can't have this done with out it.  I decided to find someone closer to my house, and one that used gas.  I heard about a dental practice that is 2 mins from my house, and it is a practice that has reg dentists, and dentists that do root canals, ect. I heard it was a good place, and they were really great with people like me that are terrified with dentists.  I went to my appt, and I brought the info, the x-rays and what the dentist wanted done.  Well the dentist came in, and she wanted to take more x rays, so i said fine, (like I had a choice) well I could hear her talking with the dental assistant, and when she came in, she kept looking at the new x-rays, and squinting, and she finally started talking, and I could tell that she didnt want to say whatever it was that she had to say, so I am now physically shaking, and she put the x-ray that I brought up on the light box, and she put the x-ray that they took up next to it, and told me that I did not break the tooth, that I had just broke a small piece of filling off, and that she saw no sign of infection, or any past infection, but the kicker, is when she showed me the x-rays side by side, the one I brought and the one that they took, and she said that she can not see how they could possibly tell if I needed a root canal, if the x-ray that they took, didn't even show the root of the tooth!!!! That's right people, the x-ray only showed the the top of the tooth, no root in site!!! I was so pissed, No Broken Booth, No Infection, and No need of a Root Canal!!!!!!  She didn't want to bad mouth the other dentist, but there was no possible way that he could have made the diagnosis with the info that he had, so now I am wondering if he has this black market, shady deal with the root canal dentist going on, and maybe that is why out of all the other dentists at that practice, he only wanted me to see 1 specific guy!! I guess it was good that I have such a huge fear of the dentist, because if I didn't, I would have gone to the guy he wanted me to go to, and would never had known that I didn't even need the root canal!!  So that was update #1, update #2, I got all of my new storage drawers put together, and my craft room is totally torn apart, and in boxes from my craft room, to my kitchen,to my dining room, to my living room!! It is a little overwhelming to say the least!! My new drawer sets are in my living room, because they weigh about 500lbs a piece, and I can't move them into my craft room by myself, and my hubby has been busy at work this week, and my uncle passed away, so we had the wake to go to ect.  Hopefully I will get a lot done this weekend, and the kids are off next week on vacation, I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing!! haha  Anyway, I will take some pictures of my progress, and share them with you! Thanks for all your patience, and we will do a good challenge for a great prize when I get organized. I am missing crafting so much, I think that crafting relieves my stress, and I really can tell the difference when I don't craft, so that is my motive to get things done!! Well I am off to check all of  your great projects and things that you are all working on!! See you soon, Karen♥

My Wonderful Hubby!!

Hey guys thanks for the thoughtful comments.  I really appreciate everyone's comments.  I wanted to let you guys know that my wonderful amazing hubby took me to Ikea today, and we bought the organizing drawers that I wanted to get for my craft room.  I know that he would have rather have the root canal for me than go to IKEA!! He hates it there, and I really can't say I blame him.  I don't know if it is just the IKEA near us, or all of them, but it is like it is a few days before Christmas there all the time! It is so busy, and crowded. There is no where to park, and then when you get in there it is like you are packed in like sardines!!  Anyway, the fact that he hates it there so much, and still offered to go, plus go there to buy MORE stuff for my craft room, either shows that he lost his mind, or that he loves me and really feels bad that I am going to the dentist this week!! It was a good thing that he did go with me, because these sets of drawers weighed about 500lbs each!! He also suggested that we buy the 2 that I wanted, and 2 more that we saw that kinda went with them!!! Of course I agreed, because who knows when he will wake up from this delusional state that he is in.  I can't wait to get them in there, and organize that room, but I am not looking forward to putting them together, they each have about 1000 pieces.  At least putting them together will take my mind off the dentist, and my doctors appointments coming up.  Well thanks to all of you for listening, and I will be back soon!! I can't wait to get back to crafting!! Karen♥

Hey Everyone, I have an Update!!

Well I just wanted you guys to know, (well the 3 of you that have been here) That I have and appointment on the 15th for my tooth, to hopefully end that nightmare, and I will be seeing 2 new doctors for the lumps that I found. I can't wait till this nightmare is over. I have been checking out your blogs, and there is some really cute stuff going on out there!! I have bee re organizing my craft room, and I am looking at some cabinets that I saw at IKEA, so I hope I can talk my hubby into buying them for me!! Oh I also wanted to share a new tool from We R Memories, it is a punch, but you have to see it, it punches round, and you can mix and match them, and each punch makes 3 different designs!!! The best way for you to msee is to check it out on You Tube, or at HSN, You are gonna LOVE them!!! As soon as I get mine, they shipped yesterday, I will make a project, and post it, I can't wait!! Well I just wanted to update you, I miss you all, and I will be back soon!! Karen♥
