 Good morning, crafty friends!

Thank you, everyone, who left condolences for HoneyB. We're gradually accepting not having to get up at 5 a.m. to put him out or having him want out every time he thinks there's a squirrel out there to chase off. 

On the upside, we no longer have to block him from the litter box or worry if we're leaving him kenneled too long if we want/ need to go somewhere. Most anywhere we go is a 2-hour round trip plus the things we need to do in between. Makes for a long day for a dog when it's too cold to leave him out in the run. Just life adjustments after eleven years.

Bob has already pulled the fence & posts that enclosed the run. When weather warms up, we'll set it up as a patio.

I have three pictures to show you today.

First, my desk with leftovers from yesterday's tag creation. You can see just the tag on yesterday's post HERE. To the left you can see a spool of ribbon.. a very pretty net ribbon from Stampin' Up! holiday catalog as well as a couple packages of their new heart doilies from the same catalog I need to put in the scrap rack

... which is easy to get to because after the deep clean over the weekend, I am now able to pull scrap rack spinders off the shelf and onto a single base to my left to work:

The base will hold up to 7 3-ring spinders. I still have room to move the red, pink, and white color spinders onto the base. No more getting up and down to go around the back side of the shelf to get what I need while I'm crafting. When I'm done with all the Valentine, I'll put them back on the shelf and bring in St. Patrick's/ Green as well as Easter/ Spring.

And finally, the worst spot of all from a couple of weeks ago:

There are two carts of punches. The black one in the front holds all non-seasonal punches except for my two big heart punches. The narrower white cart behind that holds all of my seasonal punches but for now, I have the box of Valentine stamps and papers sitting there.

I'm gradually getting back into the swing of things and organizing more in the office. I can get to my Kanban board with my work schedule posted and all of the stamps/ dies going back to Halloween are filed back in their boxes. One day at a time.

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Sarah and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Sarah’sCraft Shed for all the details. Miss Sarah has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.

 Creative Blessings!
