Some More fun with CK...GIVEAWAY!

So here is one of the unpublished views of my craft room. This actually one of my favorite spots of my craft room, I add sewing to just about every project, so this area is often my go to place during my project.

The thing that I love the MOST about my craft room is that all of the materials were reclaimed or used. Together with my friends and family, we went to thrift stores, flea markets, antique stores and our local reclaimed building material store Resource. These places are a haven for creativity. This also makes for a very inexpensive yet eco-friendly approach to organizing. The shelves here are old cabinet doors with old brackets and old beams.

You may have also seen on Facebook that Megan Hoeppner was on Studio 5 KSL in Utah debuting the issue. Megan showcased a few ideas and rooms from the book, mine being one of them. So if you would like a sneak peek into where I create... here it is!

Creative Spaces with Creating Keepsakes Magazine!

About 6 months ago, I received an email from the very sweet Megan Hoeppner that pretty much rocked my world :)

It kinda read a little like this...


"Hey Liz, It's Megan...... special issue........craft rooms...... and we would like to see pics of your room.........can you do this by next Thursday?"

Now the email was a little more than that... but I honestly can not remember much of it because all I could think was "OH MY GOODNESS, SHE WANTS TO USE MY CRAFT ROOM NOT IN AN ARTICLE, BUT IN A SPECIAL ISSUE!!!"

This is totally ironic as I had just told James the week before as I perused my most recent issue of Creating Keepsakes "Wouldn't it be cool if one day my room was in one of these magazines?"

His response was " That would be totally cool, why don't we start working on your room in a month or two"

Little did we know that this little thought was percolating in Megan's head and that seriously a week later we would be fully indulged in OPERATION CRAFT ROOM.






So when I initially received the email from Megan, we had just moved into our new home a few months before. With my crazy travel schedule at the time we had unpacked the bare minimums of our home and the craft room was just drywall and concrete. We had $500, one week and the help of our amazing friends to get pictures to Megan.

I am happy with the way that it all came together, but more than anything, it was so wonderful to have the support of my family and friends through this week of getting my room together. A BIG thank you to my sweet friends Tricia Gabriel and Kaydi Homme... without their help and the support of my husband and children, none of this would have been possible.

Open publication - Free publishing - More craftroom

Here is a sneak peek of the special issue sharing some beautiful images of the sweet Amber Packer's room as well as some of the other fun content that is in the magazine. The magazine has a whopping 45 (I think that is the right amount) rooms, plus bonus articles in the back that give amazing ideas for decor and storage. This is truly an issue that you will want to have on hand. I have read it over and over and still find little things here and there that I love and am inspired by.

I have a few before and during pics I want to try and find to share on the blog this next week... I hope you will come back and enjoy them with me. I will try and do a few posts with some fun little facts about my storage solutions as well as some other fun info about the room. But for now... how about we GIVE AWAY A FREE COPY OF THIS AMAZING ISSUE?????

Simply leave a comment here and I will pick a random winner next week (Wednesday May 18th, 2011). EXTENDED TILL FRIDAY MAY 20th Due to Blogger being down and erasing previous comments.

If you can't wait and NEED your copy NOW... simply click here to buy this fun issue. Use coupon code SPACESBB for FREE SHIPPING!

Thanks for celebrating in my fun little surprise! I am SUPER excited about this, but also that so many of my friends are also a part of this fun project. It is so fun to see how people you know and love craft :)

Have a great day, and remember.. LEAVE A COMMENT TO WIN!!!!

XOXO-
