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?????
