Announcing the New Craft Room Name!!!

thank you all who brainstormed and shared your ideas with us!

after much thought and consideration (so much we went past our allotted time!), 

we finally picked the name that fits the girls and i and our crafts ;)

and the lucky winner is Meg who said "The Arcade" and my girls tweeked it to...

"The Creative Arcade"

why arcade you say?

when i think of an arcade i think of fun and bright colors.

i think of all the games at an arcade like all the different crafts my girls and i share.

beads, eyelets, papers, stamps, thread, ribbon = arcade

besides, we just {LOVE} the name Arcade!!!

it's different and interesting!

thanks Meg!!! 

you just picked up the Creating Keepsakes 

magazines and the love notes! check your email ;)

the new craft room + {contest}!!

i have been dreaming about a real workspace for years.

maybe when the kids move out i always thought.

it isn't really nice to be in a hurry for your 

ten year old to grow up and move out!

i decided to re-organize our storage/guest room/garage
and create my very own studio!
eek!

i have been ever so slowly adding goodies to my craft room.



now your job is to name it!!
i scrapbook, but mostly i create my {lollipops} cards.
i'm definitely a paper junky.
my 10 & 11 yo daughters will also be crafting with me!
Francesca likes beading and Soleil loves to draw.

maybe it will just be called the craft room?
or the studio?
or our workspace?
but i think you guys are more creative in this department
and can come up with a really fun name for us.

my girls and i will pick our favorite
and that lucky namer will win a set of
lovely lollipops {i heart you cards}!

love notes in a tin!
high quality card stock
6 cards 3 red 3 white
cards measure 2.20 X 4.12
"i heart you" printed on front, blank inside
front has heart punched corners
includes envelopes
comes in a sweet tin!
we really need your help!
leave your ideas in the comments.
enter as many times as you like!
the new name will be chosen and announced friday january 7th!
thank you!
xoxo
