Green Thumb and Inky Fingers

Hi, guys!  Hope your weekend was a great one.  My hubby and I were busy around here.  We worked in our garden and also continued work on my stamp room.

I thought I would share with you some pictures of my garden.   This year I decided to grow some veggies in pots.  I am excited to see that my tomatoes are really growing nicely.  I also planted an herb garden.  I also am happy that so many flowers are in bloom right now.

I have been asked to show how my stamp room is progressing.  I have a picture of my new desk that my hubby assembled for me.  It is from IKEA.  As you can see, the room is a work in progress.  I will be sharing pictures of the completed room soon, I hope.  I got the chair from Staples.  It is a Sealy Posturepedic chair.  I figured I needed to be comfy while I stamp.  It was very reasonable in price, and I could adjust it to my needs.  I have an OTT light now on my desk.  I love it.  I will share the rest of the details when we are finished.

Thank you to my hubby for writing a post for me on Sunday while I was working on my room.

Have a great day!  Hope you find a few moments in the day to do something you love!I

Making Progress on the Stamp Room!

Hi, guys.  Hope all is well.   I have been mentioning that my stamp room is under way.  My husband has completed the painting (pretty soft pink), and this past Sunday he assembled and anchored the book cases and cd tower we ordered from IKEA.  I thought I would share some pictures of them so you have an idea of what I have been talking about.   The biggest issue I have with my stamp space in the basement is lack of storage and organization.  I think these will help A LOT!

The assembly begins:

A wall of shelves!

The next large piece that will need assembling is the desk.  We hope to start on that sometime this week.

Hope you have a great day, and find a few moments in the day to do something you love!

My Stamp Room is Now Underway!

Hi, guys!  Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend.  It was a nice one here as we got to spend time with family and friends and barbecue.  My husband and I also have begun work on my stamp room!  I have a spare bedroom that we decided to turn into the stamp room.  The last few weeks we have been emptying it out of furniture a bit at a time.  Last night my hubby started painting the ceiling and today he is painting the walls.  I will be sharing the process with you as we go.  I am excited.   I currently have a nice stamping area in the basement, but it is rather dark and the temperature in the summer is unbearable for me (too hot and humid!) and in the wintertime it is cold.  This way I will be on the main floor and have more room for storage as well.  I am looking forward to a trip to IKEA to get the furniture for the room.  I have been designing this room in my head for awhile.

Stage 1 - Before painting

Stage 2 - Painting underway

The room will be a light shade of pink with white trim and ceiling.  It will definitely be MY room as I am a pink kinda gal.


Have a great day!
