"What A Week"

I just had a week that I do not want to repeat anytime soon. The week started off with some unplanned Dr.'s visits and being poked and prodded etc. I am still waiting to get results from all the tests. Then, my craft room had a blowout. My dad had built two shelves in the closet for me, over 25 years ago. The top shelve (which was piled much to high) broke, it came crashing down with all the stuff on it spilling everywhere and hit the shelf below it and down it came also. As you might imagine, I had quiet a mess spilled out into my room and inside of the closet. My DH only muttered a bit and then we were off to the 'guy' store to buy me new 'industrial strength' shelves. The new shelves are five high and twice as deep as my old shelves. I spent three days reorganizing, cleaning out, and stocking (sounds better than stacking) my shelves. (See above picture). I am so thrilled with my new shelves and each shelve can hold up to 300 pounds. So, today I get to play! Not a great week but it had blessings at the end. I hope your week went well!

Nice shelving! Tell Steve I am going to borrow him to come and replace mine cause I wouldn't be surprised if they gave up the ghost too at some point. I will make him a card too but probably not as nice as the one you made him.

Patty hope your results are ok, it's always a worry when things are not quite right. Well I'm really impressed with your craft storage shelves and so tidy too, wish I could say the same for my craft area.

LOVE your new shelving & how nice everything looks ... Isn't it a great feeling to have things more organized & know it's not going to fall down again. Sorry you had a bad few days but you've moved on as is your nature & now can craft in peace & continue to create more gorgeous cards to share ...
Hugs from Montana, Janie
