Scrapbook Room Clean-out Giveaway #5 (Final Day)

Today is the last day on my Scrapbook Room Clean-out and Giveaway.  Thanks for joining me over the last week.  I have had fun sharing with you as I organize and get my room put together.  I am not quite done yet (still a couple of stacks of paper to deal with...hehe).  Hopefully I will have my new desk done in the next couple of weeks....I will share photos of my completed space when it is all done.  Thanks for the wonderful comments you have been leaving me along the way.  I am so happy to hear that I have inspired you in some way to get your rooms organized.

Today, I am going to share with you my *favorite* part of my organizing.  The kid's craft corner......
It is my *favorite* part because my kids can be in the room with me and I can even craft and supervise when they are doing their homework.  I bought this little table (unfinished) from the clearance section of a craft store a couple of years ago.  My husband finished it for the kids last year and I just moved it in here for them to use.  I used the left over piece of peg board for some of their tools from the one that was cut from the huge piece that I bought at Home Depot for my peg board.  I also cleaned up and hung a cork board that has been sitting in our garage for a few years for them to display their creations on.  The corner shelf is one that I picked up at a yard sale years ago and was in my old crafting space.  I know that they will find many hours of enjoyment crafting along with me.....which is one of their favorite things.

For my last giveaway I have this Complete Scrapbook Kit by Colorbök along with this lovely box of silk flowers by 3 Birds.

This scrapbook kit has over 460 pieces and includes an album.

How to enter:
  • Leave a comment under this post telling me if you like to craft alone or with a friend (or more)
  • Be a public follower/subscriber on my blog (you can sign up on the right side of my blog)
One entry per person, please.  I will have a random drawing for this and all giveaways this week on Monday January 31st.  Good Luck!!  Don't forget to sign up for my other giveaways this week:



I plan to have a very big giveaway as soon as I reach 1000 followers/subscribers....let's just say that I will share with someone ".....some of my favorite things....."  ;)

Hugs,

    LOVE the kids' area! What a fantastic idea!

    And you know I love to scrap with a friend. Say, a good friend I only get to see twice a year? And maybe one of those times is coming up soon?!

    What a great idea to have a kid corner! I scrap in the downstairs family room where I can supervise the kids playing (when they are awake).

    Once my husband gets around to refinishing my "new" scrap table, I'll be reorganizing just like you!

    Awesome kids corner. Some day I will have a craft room all to myself so I can do that, but in the mean I love getting ideas. I am more of a craft on my own person. I get too distracted when I craft with others. I end up talking more than crafting! Thanks for the fun. Hugs- Glora me(at)glorajean(dot)com

    Your kids area is great! I know my grandkids like to come in my room and "make something".
    I have only ever crafted alone so I don't know if I would like crafting wuth someone. I do like feedback on my projects so I would probably enjoy it!!

    I love this! My kiddies are too old to craft with me any more :( But when they were little we were always making stuff. I like to craft with others, but there is no one here to craft with, so alone it is.

    Oh, I wish my area had the space for a kids area! How cool. I love to craft by myself or with my kids, as long as they can work on their own for a little bit. However, most of the time my 4yo and 6yo want to be climbing up on my lap and it is hard to work the cricut and stamp that way LOL!

    My kids area is my favorite part too. My daughter loves to do crafts, but is still a little young and needs major supervision. I love being able to craft with her and do my own thing at the same time. Thanks again for the ideas and the giveaways from this week!

    I have a kids area too, but it is not nearly as neat as yours...well I am sure yours won't be neat either after they start using it...not trying to be mean, just sayin :)...lol

    I prefer to scrap alone as I get more done but I do go to a scrap camp twice a year

    That is such a cute idea. I'll have to remember that when I have kids of my own. For now, my dogs just lay around where ever they please :) I like to craft by myself usually. My mind is only thinking 'craft' so it's sometimes a bothersome when someone else is there.

    That would be my favorite part too! My kids love to "help" me and this would be perfect for them to do their own thing while I did mine. Thanks for sharing.

    I love to craft with friends I just find it hard to find time to get together in a group setting so for now I craft alone.

    I craft alone or with my kids during their vacations. It seems to me that no one crafts here as there are no crafting materials available other than card stock in limited colors and there's lace, ribbon & sequins as they are used for clothing.

    For the most part I craft by myself. I love to craft with my bff when we can coordinate schedules. Recently my sister has gotten into scapping so we get together about once a month. Love your new digs!!

    What a neat idea to have a kiddy craft area. Very cool
    I would like to craft with someone, just don't have any friends that craft. My grown daughter is starting to get into it and has been making some cards with me and seems to be enjoying it. It would be awesome to win this and gift it to her so she can start an album for her daughter
    Thanks for a chance

    Love the kids area! Great idea! It depends on what I am working on whether or not I like crafting with friends or not. If I am just crafting on cards and other projects, I love doing it with friends. But, if I am working on my scrapbooks I do better if I don't chat the whole time. I tend to talk more than actually craft. :) Thanks for the chance to win! I love what all you have done.

    Hi Amy...I'm a follower now! It depends on what I have to get done...I love to scrap with friends, but I don't seem to get as much done - more talking than scrapping. If I scrap alone I get more accomplished.

  43. Warm n WonderfulJanuary 29, 2011 at 1:47 PM

    I choose to scrap alone most of the time, but once or twice a month I get together with a group of women who like to scrap, and then about once a month I hang out with a good friend who scraps. We usually end up talking more than we scrap! That is why I prefer to scrap alone, because I get a lot more done.

    I love both! Sometimes it's just nice to go in my room, turn on some music that I like, and get lost in my own creativity. But it's always fun crafting with a friend, somebody to give you feedback and just some quality girl time. Although, I usually tend to get more done when I'm scrappin' by myself! I love how your reorganization is coming along. The kids' corner is a great touch! So much fun!!

    When I craft with my friends we share ideas and I get a lot of inspiration, but I prefer to actually do the creating part of things on my own - just because I'm more creative and productive then.

    Having a space for your children to craft in your area is awesome, their interest will help keep this honny alive. My kids enjoy scrapping with me too. As far as your question goes it depends on the situation. I only know a couple people who are just starting out in scrapbooking and I find it hard to scrapbook with them because it is usually at my house using my stuff so I end up spending alot of my time finding stuff for them because it is mine and I know where it is or helping them put their page together so I don't really get anyting done. So if I want to scrapbook and actually accomplish anything in my los I need to scrapbook alone. It would be different probaly if I had someone to scrapbook with that has their own supplies that they bring and their own style/ideas/ability to make their own pages. It would be awesome to share ideas with someone who has an opinion not just 'yeah that is good' no matter if it is good or not.

    Thanks for an awesome week of chances to win some awesome prizes.
