PenPal letters

Back again i know i know another long time in between posts... but i have been busy with lots of family things happening and just normal general life especially getting over the whole household getting very sick with the dreaded flu....

So in the mean time lots has been happening... Craig and I finally bought a new computer and I've gone over to the MAC side LOL... really loving it so far but still learning what i can do and what i can't do anymore....

crafty wise my wonderful husband that he is has just finished building my craft room for me... at the back of our house we are living in was a sun room my nan and pop used to sit out in, so Craig has transformed this little room into my craft room and I'm loving it...its actually inspired me to get back into my scrapping and other crafty things i do (including writing pen pal letters now but more on that soon)....here are a few shots of my new room

Looking from the back door my smaller peg board for chipboard, bling and all my sprays etc

this is my work station desk with the silhouette cameo, printers and sewing machine

this is a pic of the large pegboard which has all my embellishments, letter stickers etc on it
this is my desk... the blinds open up onto our large backyard so its nice in the warm weather to have them open and watch all the gorgeous birds we get here....

so that is my new scrap area and I'm very pleased with how its turned out... now to start getting creative again which I'm looking forward to...
speaking of that i joined in a swap called creative pen pals over on Melissa Goodsells blog. I got partnered with a girl from England so its going to be fun learning all about her and her country... i received my first letter from her and its interesting to read how much we have in common so its going to be lots of fun...I've just finished writing my letter back to her and its ready to post off... love that you can get creative with it (she is also a scrapbooker) so I've used stamps and washi tape to add crafty stuff to a normal letter....
my first penpal letter i received
my letter written and ready to send tomorrow... looking forward to getting more letters soon...
ok that's about it...school holidays here at the moment so I've been busy with Kaitlyn just doing normal stuff that we do...she has a friend over tonight so its lots of giggles and girly talking i can hear..lets hope they actually sleep... tomorrow I'm hoping to get some crafty stuff done before i go back to work on Wednesday....
ok that's defiantly it now lol chat later
