Hello my name is Brandy Whisman, I am a full time employed mom of 4 children with all kinds of activities. I rarely get time for myself, me alone to do things I like - I usually bring stuff to work with me to make my cards. I started out w/cardmaking, and scrapbooking for me but have since started to teach some classes. I was starting to get a little organized and looking forward to a bigger work area when we sold our house but recently the purchasers backed out and all of my stuff is still in boxes because we have no room. Anytime I need to use something I have to get it out and pack it back away. I have apx 20 containers of stuff to dig through each time just to make a project. This scrap area in a box would solve all my problems, I could be organized and packed at the same time along with having my own area to work on projects. I will attach some photos later on as I am at work while posting my entry. Thank you to everyone.

You have my vote, Brandy! I'd love for you to win!

My 2 delightful children are so mischevious they equal 4 children some days!! AND their only activities are ruining my crafting stuff!! Good luck to you (and to me). (said in jest and good humour of course!)
BRandy... I hope you WIN!!! You DESERVE it more than anyone!!!!
Losing out on a real estate deal because of EVIL buyers, should not penalize you from having a space to craft!
Just curious...
Did people read that posting your own need on other people's threads ("Taunting") is NOT required! Just because it CAN be done, doesn't mean it SHOULD be done.
No one should have to stamp/scrap/play out of storage boxes!! This would be awesome for you and you sure deserve a break after the house hassles ~ good luck, Brandy!

Ok ladies.....it has taken me longer than expected to get these posted but here is my mess of unorganized!!! You see the little I have unpacked, definately no room for anything and have to take out and put back in boxes most of my things when I use them.
And yup you see an old organ in the third picture, my grandma was INSISTANT that I have this - even though we have no room for it, not any of us know how to play it so it stays in the room too.

Hello thumbunny,
I started crafting w/a friend awhile back, she actually got me hooked right from the start w/the cool things she did - I love to make things that I think someone else might also find cool - love the challenge of trying something new to see if I can make it, and just love having something to do that is just mine w/out my husband or children because I do so much w/them.
I try to keep the first rough draft of my project and display them on a shelve, however they are all packed up right now - then I like to make a second one that is better and give it away to someone wether it be for a birthday, holiday, or just because...I just never feel my first rough draft is ever a good one because it is my trial and error project.
For me I think two of my projects have had a big impact on me, the first was the puffy box - I learned it along time ago from one of my upline and thought it would be nice to have tutorial for it on splitcoast because I had not seen them made much. I emailed splitcoast and when they emailed me back, asking me to create the tutorial I was blown away - I just always thought they had one person that does all the tutorials for splitcoast so was very honored to try and make it a good tutorial, I need to figure out how to get the video one online to add the link for it. The second one was a scrapbook/purse that I learned a couple months ago from one of my sidelines, I took it w/me to a weekend of scrapbooking in Pennsylvania and EVERYONE wanted the tutorial for it, so I had apx. 75-100 emails to send when I got home w/a tutorial for them. I also have a video tutorial made for that so when I figure out how to get videos online will be adding it to my blog.
I have had many people inspire me, and give me more ideas to go with - I feel there are so many more people with better projects than I however, I just love to create my own and it is a time for just me to enjoy.
Pick me!!! I need to win!!!
