My Newly Re-organized Craft Room!

Jacob was finaly able to help me a few weeks ago to put together my new computer desk and printer stand and re-arrange my craft room. I spent last week bringing all my supplies back in (kuckily the stamps didn't have to be removed, That bookcase was the only thing that stayed in it's original space. Here are some pics of my new room. You can actually see the floor now.

My 2 Bonnye Annes!

I am now in a special red hat group called "Sock Monkey Sisterhood". Yep, you read it right Sock Monkey! We have a blast even though much of it is online on our private FB page and the individual group get-togethers of the different groups all over. The ladies in this group live all over, a few of which include 6 of us here in VA (my group), to some in the states of Washington, LA, TX, Ohio and Maryland as well as other states. We have a blast. It started with sock monkeys, but any monkey is allowed. We name them dress them, have them talking online and make up stories about things they do. We take them with us to red hat events. We are in our second childhood (that is, it we ever left our first - LOL!) Mine, of course, had to meet Bonnye Anne. So I took a few with me when I went down and got her picture with them when she was born and the last time I went down in Aug. I have done some trading with one SMS friend from Washington state and she made the purple and red crocheted outfit for me in trade for some stamping supplies. She also sent me several dragons to add to my dragon collection and I was to pick on to give to Bonnye Anne.

 Taken on 8/18/12. Love that sweet smile!

Above her are: Jo-Jo, Ziggy and Rosie

One of my other new friends, Kathy Menz makes individual baby monkeys each with a unique face and this is one she made and gave to me in trade, so that I would always have a Bonnye Anne with me (can you figure out what I named her - LOL!) So here I am with both of my Bonnye Annes.
