Hi!!! *waves frantically*
This wasn't the first post I had intended to share with you, but I have to get into some kind of routine before my poor little OCD brain explodes!!!! I've missed my internet (it just got hooked up yesterday!) and all of my friends and family across the globe! I have so much to share with you....and tons of photos and videos too! We're supposed to keep these posts short and sweet...and if you can believe it, I've really cut a lot out of this one, lol! So...my desk....
So here is my room after the movers left.
Boxes. TONS of heavy boxes. Everywhere.
When I finally made it to this room, I had to first just unpack all the boxes. That took a whole day in itself!! I also found some "missing" items here, such as my comforter, the canvas shell for the portable closet and a large kitchen mixing bowl. NONE of those items were in or near my stamping room in Italy. Weird.
My desk!
It did get terribly damaged in this move, but I'm still able to use it.

Your craft room looks fabulosu!...what a bummer that they damaged your shelf system though! That is the one thing I hate about moving.....we can never have anything nice cause the mover always wreck it somehow! I'm glad to see your all settled though! :)

Hi Jeannie thanks for dropping by. WOW you have been busy. It was worth it though you have done a fab job. It all looks amazing. Enjoy! WOYWW Hugs to you from Helen 15
Can NOT wait to see it all decorated in beautiful Jeannie style. Its gorgeous! So glad you can still use your desk. I feared the worst. Like shattered pieces worst. I have not been in my craft room in over a month. I really need to get on it! I have missed you my friend!
I have to say I had a little breath holding moment when I saw all your boxes. Your unpacking looks phenomenal. Keep smiling and creating in your new space. Thanks for popping by.
Jeannie your shelves are absolutely divine! After the moving pictures, when it got down to your beautiful, organized shelves, I could hear the angels singing! I hope all goes well as you settle in. Crafty hugs! --Sandy Leigh
Sorry to hear that you had problems with the move this time round, hope you get some compensation out of them. Love the new room though, I'd be sitting in that chair and just staring too!! Enjoy your time in Germany.

Hi to you, too, Jeannie! Glad you're getting unpacked and settled, your work desk is amazing--I may have to do a special post just for you next week, and show you my mess!!!!
It's funny how those stray things end up in random moving boxes, isn't it??
Thank you for stopping by!

Thanks so much for popping in on me.
You certainly do have the set-up over there, but what a bummer that your desk was injured en route.
Awesome looking studio now! I loved the pictures of the progression! I hate moving and like you I am always surprised at how things get shuffled around. I love Stampin UP! Have a great week and thanks for visiting my blog. Vickie #68
Oh how exciting....setting up a whole new crafting space. Love your organised desk...love the 'a place for everything and everything in it's place' set up.

SO organised! So envious! Get the OCD totally and amazed at how much work you have put into getting your room to this state! Kudos to you :) Now time to enjoy. Happy crafting, hugs Buttons #81
Moving is always so interesting. But, the final result is beautiful. I do love that crafty cabinet. #25
Congrats on your move - where are you now?
Love your desk though - wish I had the space for it!
Thanks for stopping by.
You've come a long way baby! Good to see you back online. You have done an awesome job organizing your scrapbook room. So jealous!
Great stamping room! Awesome desk! Have fun playing with your new stamps - something I LOVE to do!
Lindart #153
I love your crafty cupboard, wouldn't say no to one of those! I'd like one that could take all my very useful boxes!
Happy WOYWW

I have told Hubby that if I ever move again I will pay someone to do it for me but you have got it down to a fine art! Well done!
xx
Wowsers, that was some job getting all that sorted! I bet you are a happy little Queen Stamper in there now. Looking forward to seeing it with the decor up to. #79
As I see all those packing boxes I break out in a cold sweat. Having been an expat on the move for 23 years I know what hard work and effort you've had to put in to make a new home!
Well done on a great job...I've just seen the updated photos.
Have a good time enjoying that space...I'm sure you will ;D
Happy WOYWW
Neesie #11
Nice job! That was a lot of boxes! I'm sure the packers ran out of room and went searching for a box to fit an item, they just happened to be your stamping boxes, lol.
Love the light from the window.
Why wouldn't you have the moving company replace the storage cabinet, if it was that damaged in the move?
That is a whole lot of boxes! You and me both in brand new work spaces! It is so rewarding after the hard work to just sit there and admire it all isn't it? It looks lovely and I am sure you are going to have many hours pf happy crafting in there.
Happy belated WOYWW!
Tertia #62
Phew - what a load of boxes - but such a fabulous craft room once all done. Enjoy many happy hours working away there :)
Belated Happy WOYWW, Di xx #10
Girl, my, my, I thought I had a lot of stuff, but you beat me hands down!! What a TON of work that was, but how awesome it is now!! Can't wait to see what you create now that you've got it all sorted out. Love the hen!!
Thanks for coming by to visit me! Have a great week! Darnell #136
Wow Jeannie, you really got it together quickly, proves what a great system that desk cupboard is for you, huh. Looking forward to your picture heavy, enthusiasm heavy posts!
Your stamping studio looks great. I'm glad you have a nice place to create your wonderful stamping projects. :)
I'm so impressed with your unpacking! I've moved 31 times and well I've gotten superstitious about unpacking everything lol. Your workspace is beautiful. Sorry to hear about your desk being damaged, but at least it is functional. Thanks for visiting! Belated Happy WOYWW! #37
Jeannie, thanks for sharing your move with us. What a marathon! You'll soon be settled. Love all your cupboards etc. Great stuff!
Thanks for your good wishes with my parents - Dad is now in hospital - sad to see him so frail looking, but it's the best place for him. Got to look after Mum a bit now!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #35
OMGosh! You are back (I am behind) and you have your new creatin' room in order!!! Awesome! Your desk looks wonderful. I'm glad it is still functional for you and didn't get destroyed in the move. I'll be catching up as fast as I can on my blog reading. Glad you are finally back in cyberspace. :)
Hi Jeannie! I'm getting around really late this week, but better late than never?
I can't believe all the work you got done in your room! It looks FABULOUS! So sorry to hear your scrapbox was damaged, but glad it's still working for you!

Oh WOW - you have one of those cupboards that open and close and store everything! Envious looks coming across the water.
Have read your bio and guess you are used to packing and unpacking - good luck in your new quarters hope that it is somewhere nice and you don't miss Italy (a country I love to holiday in) too much.
Wishing you much happiness - thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #58 xx
