More progress from NEW Scrapland!

I'm on a mission, friends! GET SCRAPLAND DONE and share a "big reveal" on FRIDAY!

Can she do it? YES..., she can!

Check out some home-dec FUN!




This little jewel is something I've been planning for a LONG time ~ I wanted to do this in old Scrapland, when IT was new! But once I got up and running in there, I was never able to put decorative projects back on the top of the to-do list {Wah!} So, this time, I'm sticking to my creative guns! This is a decorative CARD bulletin board, concept. An old barn window, sealed, crackled and painted.... Some chicken wire for texture and also to clip artwork to... AND SOME long curated over... COOL COWBOY FABRIC!!! Yes, ma'am! I'm "dumping tackle" in a BIG way! I've got some materials I have been guarding for nearly 10 YEARS.... {OMG!} Finally! A place for "my things!" hee hee



Lots of room for cards, and still enough for this juicy "Roy Roger's" print to S-H-I-N-E upon the walls of my lovely new Scrapland!



This was such a hot idea for me, I decided to do it AGAIN, with this cool door I found underneath our big chicken barn - this one already had the chicken wire included {WHAT a bargain!}, plus a cool kind of shelf thingy...




('Scuse the uncovered outlet - my punch list is a MILE long!)



Check out ROY and TRIGGER! Yessireee, Bob! They are looking FINE and bless them for providing me some great accent to tie so many of my new colors TOGETHER! I'm so excited to show you pictures of how they look in the context of my furniture, materials and other such yummies.... BUT... YOU HAVE TO WAIT! Mwaaaaaaahh Haaaaa Haaaa!

{It's fun to build a lil' suspense!}



I promise to have that outlet covered the next time you see this corner of New Scrapland! Okay? All RIGHT!?! AND, wait! There's more!

On Thursday, I have a little announcement to share with y'all... {WHOOOPEE!} and maybe a few more pictures of some decorative work I've got going in my new digs... I guess it's safe to say that I've rounded a corner... on the way to "my new happy place!" New Scrapland is feeling more and more like "home" for me and all of my craftiest treasures... In fact, I managed to get my internet signal in there today {all by myself! Yipee!} So, I'm TRULY on my way!

Thanks, SO much for letting me share this journey with you all! I am so appreciative of all the funny comments and kindness you've all shown to me during this process... It has REALLY helped me on the difficult days... I can't even tell ya!

Okay! Bye now!
