Coming Clean

I've received the nicest e-mails lately from people all over the world, commenting on my studio.  I know that I tend to post pictures of pretty little things that decorate my studio & make me happy:

I feel the need to 'fess up & show you what my studio normally looks like.  This week I've been prepping loads of on-line orders (thank you!) and prepping for my By The Sea Journal class on Saturday:

In truth, this is what my studio workspace looks like:

That enormous mess includes the remnants from my Last Train to Paris class (yes, from January), unfinished projects from ScrapBowl, my upcoming "Madge Goes On Safari" class sample, magazine submissions, Wishblade mats, felting tools, my supplies for my Library of Memories class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking... and I think the coffee in that cup is from two days ago (gross). 

There.  For all of you who sent me e-mails lamenting that your creative space isn't quite as nice, just remember.... it's all in the camera angle!!

Love your creative space and your honesty! Glad I am not the only one that has a room which looks like a cyclone has hit after a day or two of creating! You have a wonderful blog and super projects. Thanks!

You call that messy?
I'll see your dirty cup and raise you a plethora of projects still left from Christmas! (all in various states of completion)

Oh, and I love that little muffin tin!

I loved it! It looks like mine! I'm going to show my hubby that I'm NOT the only one with a "creative mess"

I love the mess...it's liberating isn't it. :) Just kidding...It's probably driving you mad. Have a great week.

Thank goodness for the camera angle. In the corporate world, some can interpret a clean desk as not being busy. To me, in a creative world, a messy desk is the sign of a creative genius hard at work. ;)

I just love seeing photos of your studio. It's so inspiring. I LOVE the pink candy corn & muffin liners.
I had to smile with your "messy" pic. I know all about it!

Wow, my thoughts went from "oh how sweet" to "holy crap"! And where do you work? That's when it's time to move to the dining room table! Out of site, out of mind. Just keep moving!
