Description:

Were not swapping rooms but i thought it would be fun to swap photos of our crafting areas.So this swap is really easy,and will give us a little glance into others crafting spaces.Lately i have been wanting to change my studio and make it just different..What better way to get some ideas.

You take a photo of your craft room,craft area,craft table ect...Where ever it is you do it just photograph it.Then you will send it to your five partners.

What to send:

1 picture

5 Partners

Ways to send it:

Email

Flickr

My Space

Blog

Live Journal

See i told you it would be easy.Now although there are no rules and anyone can join.If you have a ton of no sends then i will ban you.This is not a way to get your score up if your a bad swapper.If you have one or even two no sends then you are ok....

Do send a message or an email to your partner when you have the picture ready.If you will be sending it to them by way of email do include in the subject line (crafty room swap)....

Does my bedroom floor count as a craft room?

TerryF 04/30/2007 #

FCO: Neat idea!

If I joined this swap I'd embarrass myself royally. There's just too much crafting to do to waste time cleaning up. All I have to walk on is a little path meandering among the piles of supplies. If they were piles of old newspapers I'd be sent to you-know-where for a long rest! No way seeing my room would help anyone! lol

funkykchicken 04/30/2007 #

Ayii:Yes it does.Where ever you craft wether it be the floor or in a studio.If you craft there then it counts.

Tassy: I swear you crack me up.This is suppose to be fun so please i want to see your hills and valleys.

This is a great idea! I'm in the middle of rearranging my swap area, and I'd love to see how other people have things arranged.

niecedenise 04/30/2007 #

Oh my. Are we supposed to limit it to one area. I dont think one pic would be large enough!

Craftlover10101 04/30/2007 #

I have to agree with NieceDenise. Um I have like 3 or 4 areas. lol Wayyyyyy tooooooo much stuff I definately need ideas on storage.

funkykchicken 04/30/2007 #

You can post as many pictures as you want of as many areas as you want.So don't limit yourself.The only thing to remember is to message or email your partners.Please share links in the comments section as well if you want.

user6620 04/30/2007 #

Oooh, fun! Maybe if I ask nicely, my partners will take it a step further, and give me tips on how I can organize my insane mess. ;)

funkykchicken 04/30/2007 #

Everyone is welcome to post what makes their space special to them.It really is where we bare our souls and let our creative muse out to play.

user4802 04/30/2007 #

Terry, I have to agree, my craft room looks like a bomb went off. Ironically when it was clean and organized for the first 6 months after I got it built I never got a photo!!! Regretting that now....Still I have been thinking of creating an area just for doing my swap crafts. So I guess this could inspire me to get it reorganized and cleaned... Count me in!!!

Craftlover10101 04/30/2007 #

If ya'll go to profile you should be able to see my first picture of my craft house. The first night it was actually done, carpet, and base board and alot of my stuff but not all of it dragged in there. I took the tv and dvd player and hooked it up and the girls and I slept out there the very first night. It was fun. Now it has more in it and a little tiny path. lol But that's only one spot. Ok will have to work on this.

PostMuse 05/ 1/2007 #

What a fun idea! I haven't got a room, just a corner of the finished basement. I'll do some fun stuff with the photos :-)

funkykchicken 05/ 3/2007 #

HeatherS: I love it and with all the kiddies to what fun you must have had.I have an area for my children in my studio as well.I love it when they are crafting and making messes.

Craftlover10101 05/ 4/2007 #

I have more but I can't find my darn card cord for my camera. I have tons of pics to put up. Not just my craft spaces but all of the things received, sent, made, etc. I also have to find the receipt to one of my sends. And tomorrow is my daughters competition and Disney Land trip. UGH I'm chaporoning... just till we get to DL. I told the teacher I'm not paying $63 to chaporone someone else's kids from 9 to 9 lol.
Anyway I grew up down that way so a friend of mine I've known since softball 1979 or earlier will be meeting us there with her family. The only thing that stinks (i would say something else but) is I don't think I can get on the big rides with the way my medical condition is lol. I'm not supposed to anyway because of my back and neck but oh well. So my daughter will have to wait till my friend arrives to go on with her. I won't let her go by herself.
Ok when I'm tired I don't shut up. Goodnight

Craftlover10101 05/ 4/2007 #

Oh crap, lmao I just remembered I don't need the cord. hahahaha did this before too oh ok so um look for my pictures Sun k I'll post

Craftlover10101 05/ 4/2007 #

Oh duh I have to wait till the swap starts lol sorry tired

funkykchicken 05/ 5/2007 #

HeatherS go to bed go to sleep and everything will be alright tomorrow i promise lol....

Merozoite 05/ 5/2007 #

Sounds like fun, however I'm not sure the world is ready for my "Black Hole" crafting space.
:P

TerryF 05/ 7/2007 #

Merozoite: If I can send pics of my mess, then so can you! If nothing else, we can show the others how NOT to do it! lol

winemakerssister 05/ 7/2007 #

I've been needing a kick in the pants to get my workspace cleaned up. I decided this would be a good reason, and signed up with that in mind. I've been cleaning all evening.... But I did take a "before" photo too. :::smile:::

Heather P winemakerssister

mama2llama 05/ 8/2007 #

This sounds like great fun. I'm like you others I don't want to show my mess. How about we take a picture right now of our craft space(with works in progress). Then also take a picture of it at the time of swap. Because we are all crafters and we would not be as talented as we are if our rooms where perfect. So we can send two pictures(one of right now in the mist of creativity and one of what we want the world to see.) Plus this might force us to straighten up a little. LOL Just an idea.

jewels1 05/ 8/2007 #

LOL!! I go to great pains to make sure people do NOT see my craft mess!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! I does get cleaned up once in a while, and then I can't find anything! I love my clutter!

Craftlover10101 05/ 9/2007 #

There is no time for me to clean up all of my areas. I have been too busy and going to dr. again so weather or not it's a mess well you'll eithere love it or not lol. I've still got more photo's to take. Thank goodness partners haven't been picked yet.

user5925 05/ 9/2007 #

Hey HeatherS, guess who has to send you pics from her crafty space ?!? It's me ! rofl Greets Ingrid

lvpoohbr2 05/10/2007 #

Well, I've emailed my swap partners. I hope they don't think poorly of me. My area was a big mess!!!Ü

Craftlover10101 05/12/2007 #

Wow I only have 2 days left lol. Um I'm trying. Watch it will be 2 days from now before ya'll see. I'm going to email my partners but since I'm going to let them see my mess I might as well let all of ya'll see my mess. So I will post my flicker here or you can just keep an eye on my flickr.
Hubby and the kids just went for my mothers day. I told him I didn't want anything but if he's going to buy something I want another cabnet for my wall in my craft house and I want it UP on the wall. lol I'll have to show pictures of before and after and all. And tell a story of how it all came about. It's long so be prepared.

BTW Hi Ingrid, I can't wait to see what else you have. hehehe you have some great ideas!!! I got a sneak peek at Ingrid's a while back lol.

Take Care all and Happy Mother's Day!!!

user6740 05/13/2007 #
