My Temporary Craft Room

Having fun even though I don't have all my craft stuff here. This is my temporary room for crafting. It was actually my bedroom and apartment at one time. This was used as a kitchen and dining area and my bedroom that I am in now was me and my babies room with a bath in the middle.

A lot of these baskets and little shelves I got at Goodwill. They were brand new with the tags still on them. I am working on a Spring Fling giveaway, but I took it out of the room until it's finished, then I will post it for the giveaway. If you click on the picture you get a better look at things. I've also been painting furniture and I was finishing what I started, then got Al to bring 2 more things for me to work on.....3 stools from my kitchen and another cabinet he made for me that needs to be primed and repainted. I think when the time comes, I am painting my kitchen white with pink accents..I already found some pretty rose dishes at my neighbors garage sale. I am going to mix some soft green into it also.

Al has the money to start my bigger craft room and I am looking forward to it. We aren't getting the house, so I have to let go of that and move on. My sister posted something ugly about me on my Facebook---she called me "One sick Individual" and yes I am, but not in the way she puts it. God forgive me but I never liked my sister---ever. She lives a totally different life than I do and I want no part of the things they do. Thank goodness Jackie, one of my former craft friends, sent me a message about it, but I couldn't block her, so I got adminastration to do it for me. She told me that all Donnie's friends could read my Facebook posts, but she is wrong because I have friends only that can post. What makes people so hateful? Is is because they are jealous seeing someone happy? I just don't know. I only know I lost my very best friend with all this and she will never speak to me again. Oh well, that was how our mother was, she held grudges forever and could not say I'm sorry ever. It was always me that went to her even though I knew I had done nothing wrong.

Okay, I'm rambling now and I don't want to. So I am going back to finish one last coat on 2 pieces of furniture, then to bed. Have a great night or day. Love and  Hugs, Pat

What to do when you humble yourself?

This is one of the tags for the 12 Days of Christmas that is being made and sold at my favorite scrapbook store. You can  go and see the wonderful scrappers by going to Treasured Memories. com. It is in Lafayette. I should have brought the direct link, but my mind is not where it should be today. Janet, the owner is just the sweetest person and Paula Abshire is my favorite scrapper. She now works at Micheals, but she is on the design team at Treasured Memories.

Well, I honestly thought that Brenda would answer my emails, but I was wrong. I sent her and Martin a Christmas Greeting and said I was sorry for things getting out of control. I then called her and Martin answered the phone and I could hear what she was saying in the background. Needless to say, she said for me to stop calling her. It just feels like another member of my immediate family has died. What do I do now? I humbled myself, only to get shot down. I can't say the pain isn't there, but I'm sure with time, my wounds will heal. The only thing that stays on my mind is why she turned on me 2 weeks after my brother assaulted me and she is the one who told me to call the Sheriff's office. Guess I will never know.
Anyway, I have to try and mop the kitchen floors, because with the rain, it's horrible and the kitchen is huge. It is raining again and more expected for tomorrow---I think I would rather have snow or a hot Christmas than all this rain.
I still have to get Chris's package off to her before Christmas gets here. Sending priority, so she should get it on time.I just wish she and David could come for Christmas also. What a wonderful gift that would be. Well I am going to finish some more packing, so the room will look bigger and more presentable. I hope you  all have a great weekend. I will be busy with Donnie, so you know that I am excited. Love, Hugs, and Blessings, Pat
