Big Day #1

Grade 2. We've waited for it all summer, and now it's here.
Woke up early (bus comes at 8:00am)... didn't know if we could do it, but we did.
Her she was this morning...

That girl's going to spend a total of 2 hours on the bus today! Yikes. Packed a coloring book, Barbie and some licorice.
Good luck sweetie!

And, since we're sharing our spaces on the MSS boards, here's mine.

(one day I will have window trim... not that you can even SEE my window....)

(... oh and a finished ceiling and closet trim...) Trimmer, photos and basket of scraps are in the closet. Embellishments in baskets in the cabinet. Sewing machine on the counter (the basement stairs are under the bump-out beneath, so it's wasted space). One paper rack for patterned paper. "Larger" brands (KI, Chatterbox, Basic Grey) are in the baskets on the bench beside. Old table sticks out from the ledge. Usually that white tray on the island is on there to give me more room. Molly likes to work here.

What my perspective looks like. Piece of glass for a cutting board. I also keep a piece of chipboard under that's 12x12 with a 8.5x11 box drawn on it. I plan my layouts on here... see what size I'm going to do. On the far wall... wood shelf from Superstore, wood "tool chest" from Costco (drawers for alterable items, embellishements (in jars), chipboard, buttons/brads, more embellishments, stamps, etc.), wood shelf with slots (for stickers/rub-ons divided into manufacturer), and another wood shelf from Superstore with baskets for 7 gypsies, lil' davis, envelopes, and ribbon ribbon ribbon. Off to the right (off the picture) is my 14" TV on a swiveling plate-thing from IKEA and an old milk carrying with jars for brushes, pens, scissors, etc. Below this island is plastic drawer units for adhesive, small scraps, note pads, etc.

Now, chances are this will change in a month.... and these pictures were taken in mid-August, so it's definately not this clean now.
