Guest Blogger: Blitsy Dream Craft Room Giveaway Remodel
Hi My name is Angel and I was one of the winners that was chosen for the Blitsy Dream Craft Room Giveaway. I shared this win with my best crafty friend Ramona Downing in Ohio, who also got a Dream Craft Room (check hers out here). I will never forget that moment when I decided to check my emails while lunch was cooking that Christmas morning. I already had family members arriving and I open up my mail and saw the Blitsy winners were announced. To my thinking I was like, "I wonder who was the lucky girls that got this." When I opened it up and saw my name my heart about jumped out my chest and I started screaming… Everyone looked at me wondering what was my problem. I was so excited it was a dream come true that’s for sure. I could not wait to call Ramona to tell her the awesome news. She was just as shocked as I was and kinda did not believe me at first. If it was not for my family being here I think we would have had to order out as I forgot all about the lunch cooking on the stove.
I will never forget Christmas of 2013. What makes it even special is it was also my Birthday on Dec 23 its like I had a all in one. Then we got the $500.00 Blitsy gift cards to use Jan 1,2014 what a nice way to start the new year. And on Feb 14, 2014 my furniture arrived.. Talk about one happy girl and then the work began…
I received a Blitsy furniture just like on their set where they shoot theirYouTube Videos. We decided not to get the paper racks like the set had but instead we got 2 tall Alex and 2 short Alex cubes from Ikea! I was in love.. Because I won this furniture My sweet Man decided to give me a new room with new hardwood floors and new fresh painted walls. Oh My I was one lucky Girl. But Oh so Much work was to be done. I had to empty out a jammed packed room. Ughh As you will see below it was so worth it.. I am still unpacking boxes here and there and adding to my room.
First we added beaded board to the walls and painted it with this pretty Pink
Below is a close up of each wall coming from the doorway.
Here are the tall and the short Alex I received.. Above that I have two Recollection Embellishment centers. The First one holds my Paint daubers and paints supplies , the second one holds all my sprays and stains. The Middle one my Sweet Man Made me. That holds Acrylic Paint. On top of the Alex I have two clip ups one holds all my Lalaa , Greeting farm, Prima doll and Gorjuss Girl stamps. The second one Holds My screens and mask. I also have all my distress inks which was bought through Blitsy on the white holder (again made by my one and only).
I am waiting on another Raskog cart to arrive that will take the place of the white cart you see next to the grey one.
I have all my paper packs and cardstock store on this side of the room. The small bookcase holds albums and sewing supplies.
This picture with the black Curtain is my office area. It's not quiet done as my poor man did not get to make my second shelf which will hold my Flat Screen TV and a few other things. I will have this posted to my Blog when completed so If you want to see this then keep a eye out HERE
To the right is my entrance door to the room. The basket next to the door is my dump all when I come back from shopping.. As you can see Its time to pick up the new stuff.
A few organized Items using Blitsy Products…
I used the clear bead storage that Blitsy had on sale and organized my eyelets, brads, and Sequins.
Here is what I stored in the Alex drawers this whole bottom unit is filled with punches. First 3 drawers has We R Memory Keepers box envelope (tons of WRMK at Blitsy today!) and other cutters along with my plates for my machines.
Here is my Tim Holtz and Martha Stewart Glitter ..Stored in the other Alex Drawer. This unit hold all my powered stuff Like Glitter, flock, embossing powder, mica, ect.
This unit hold all my inks and liquid media stuff along with embossing gun and stamping things.. I also Have my Gelatos, Watercolor Pan set, and melting pot.
Here is how I store My loose Flowers.. I do have 2 more full drawers of flowers that are still in packages.. Love some flowers..
This is How I store the flowers sprays and some bling . My Sweet Man made this Peg board for me.. I love to see all the pretties hanging up.
This is how my ribbon is stored.. I also have some in a basket that I never put away yet.
I just want to say THANK YOU BLITSY for all that you did for me. It was no where in my budget to get my room as nice as you have helped me make it. You are truly a blessing to me.. I will always be grateful to you for making dreams come true! Thank you too Katy for helping us through the process and all the small chit chats. I SO LOVE BLITSY!!!!!!!
Most of all Many THANKS to my wonderful Man for helping with my dream come true .
