Marit's Paper World (blog)

Hi there dear ones!
Today I will start a blog series called “Tales from the Studio.”

As most of you know, I re-arranged the upstairs old room of my son (who moved out) and turned it into a working space for me. I showed photos of it in this post.

I stood in my son’s room several times in the past years, thinking how I should re-arrange the space once he moved out and how I would love to work in solitude and not having to clean up after me every day – but now that the moment was there, I had to take some hurdles – here’s what happened (and how I solved it!)

my ‘chronicles spread’, that day is now!

How come?
Well, I dared Phinner the other day to both make something for the
challenge at Scrapping the Music – I did my part and to be in time
for the deadline (June 27) I post it right now.

Happy Valentine’s Day dear ones!

… And happy it is, ’cause temperatures rose above zero, the ice melted
and our drain pipe is open! There’s not much damage (one small crack
in the pipe) and we will replace it for a wider pipe in Spring.
I already loaded the washing machine twice and a big pile of laundry
hangs drying upstairs, the house smells like a laundromat!
