Happy Monday! We have the last two letters in the 10th Anniversary A to Z Challenge this week. I am so happy that I have made it this far with no complications. I was so involved with getting the Studio together in March that I had almost no time to prep for the A to Z and yet I managed to meet all the deadlines and have relatively (I hope) interesting offerings for each letter.
For the letter “Y” I am presenting a YouTube video walk through the new studio! I have been wanting to try my hand at making some how-to videos. I thought that starting with a tour of the studio would be fun. I hope you think so too!
I left out some things I wanted to say and I’m sure I fumbled a bit but for a first attempt I think it is okay. In case you want to see some of the companies I mention, I am linking them here:
The shed was made by The Shed Shop in Hayward, California.
The ScrapBox was made by The Original ScrapBox Company.
The binders are from Totally Tiffany.
I hope you liked my video tour. Do you think I could do more of them? Have something you’d like me to demonstrate? My niece said she wants to see more about the Junk Journal I mentioned so maybe that will be the next video. Love any feedback. Hope I didn’t scare you away and that you’ll come back tomorrow for the big finale!

My husband is addicted to YouTube, everything from car mechanics to cruise ships to woodworking to…who knows what?
Me? I rarely watch videos unless VERY short and humorous. LOL!

I am going to try posting more. I think it will help my business a little if I can get myself out there.

Thanks Ally. I think it will take me a while to get totally organized but I have found a lot of things I’d almost forgotten I had and now am excited to start using.

I’m not gonna lie–I’m so incredibly jealous of your space! It’s beautiful and you have it so organized! I would be spending hours and hours and hours in there. The video was wonderful. I’m looking forward to your how-to videos and other things you do. I’m so glad you are doing this!

Oh WOW! It’s like a mini playhouse for crafting! Everything is there! Everything! How exciting! I really love the melted crayon art, I’d display that proudly, too! Very pleased for you!

Thanks Joey! That’s exactly what my husband says when I tell him I’m going out there. “You go play.” LOL I try to tell him it is work but he doesn’t believe me.

Nice little space for you! There doesn’t seem to be a bathroom…

No, John. No bathroom. We would have had to get more extensive building permits for plumbing. This is just supposed to be a “little shed in the backyard” LOL

What a wonderful work studio you have created! I love how everything you use is all organized where you can find it with no problem. I like the little personal touches, too, like the Moms Studio sign, the koala bear, and the Micky & Minnie, plus the melted crayon picture. Well done! Very good video tour! 🙂

It was so much fun putting it all together. Kind of like a jigsaw puzzle to make everything fit. Once I get rid of the extra containers it will be much better.

Thanks Jill. I did it without a script as you can probably tell so there were things I had meant to show and didn’t. It was fun and not as hard as I thought though so more will be coming I think.
