New Look for my crafting time








My passion in the form of a hobby is scrap booking,I love to scrap pics of my family and remember the good times, It is followed by a close second of card making, I enjoy creating an individual thought to send to a friend or family member to celebrate a special day or as a get well or just thinking of you card.

I have been very fortunate in the past several years to have a designated area for my crafting... It was an enclosed front porch...hence the name of my blog : )
It all started on the dining room table, just like many of you I am sure... Over time I have collected many tools, lots of cool things and the amount of "paper" well we won't go there ...lol I am easily "enabled "

I have recently moved to a new home, and again I am so blessed to have an actual room to create a happy place for me. I have been able to purchase a few new organizational items that I think are awesome and even splurged on some new desks... Oh and check out the valances, are they not simply perfect for a scrap booking or stamping theme... ???

I have always loved black, usually with red added to make a color combo, but turquoise is another choice that suits me ...
I love my new space, tho I have a few more ideas of moving a few things to make it a bit more user friendly... and 2 more items I want to add... Once I get an ink pad holder or system, that will free up my media center to become the new home of my punches : )
I also want to incorporate DAISIES... I am hoping to get some vinyl ones cut to put on my walls...

Here are a few pictures of my room, for those of you that know me,I think you will smile ... I thought I entered them in order of walking through my room, but I see that did not work sorry...
the location may be different, but I am hoping to continue enjoying time in my new Happy Place ...

Soni's Front Porch is place in my heart as well as a name of a room, and it will always be a part of me, as it was given to me by a special friend...Thank you my wonderful friend Sue : )

As always, thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed your visit... I hope to see you visit me again soon : )

My Front Porch

As some of you know, my stamp and scrap book room was named Soni's Front Porch by a very dear friend. We lived in an old house and had a closed in front porch, it was heated so I could use it year round. We later added our computer, and even my husbands treadmill ( against my liking lol ) and I loved my room.

I had recently bought new white cubes, and other organizational type tools. Then the move came into the picture... I am so blessed to have a full room to set up as my crafting area... I enjoy making cards and my passion is still scrap booking...I have my room set up so I can be working on both crafts... My youngest daughter packed and un packed my room, and my oldest is helping me with ideas...

But for now I thought I would share a picture of my new front porch...
I am currently deciding on a new name for my crafting area, and I will take some pictures of it soon to share...it is a bit messy from playing ... : )
And please check out that door... It was a gift from our niece and sister in law, not only does it look great...but my Daisy Girl can lay and look out side... Yes she is spoiled : ) but even more, she is loved by many...

So til next time, enjoy each day and please stop back real soon...Come sit on my porch with me and enjoy my flowers : )
