This is a chance for me, a blogger, to show you where I create.....show you in my own creative way because, seriously, Where Women Create magazine is never going to ask to do a spot on me!
You'll see what I mean in a minute...
When you're finished enjoying my studio, go to Karen's blog and in the right side column you'll be able to pick your next spot to drop in on - everyone has their party dresses on and is waiting for your arrival!
And, be sure and leave a comment that you had been there - makes us all feel special *popular* to know that lots of people came to our party!
Oh, I'm so excited!!! Here everyone comes!
This is why I am being creative in showing you my studio - it looks like a crack house, it's such a mess. I could have cleaned it all up for you, but then it wouldn't be MY studio. Get it?
This door is the door that goes from my studio into our garage where the "rest" of my studio is stacked!
I have a fabulous pink disco ball hanging from the ceiling in my studio.
THIS is what my studio looks like on any given day.

A row of my wooden stamps...I have hundreds and hundreds of stamps - lots of wooden and lots of unmounted.
My row of Barbie dresses! 
A bird caught in a snowstorm...the closest I could get to a snow storm in Texas!
I have this thing for old *and ratty* dolls and doll heads. 
Gesso, molding paste...fun and vitally important items when working with paints!

I have this thing for old *and ratty* dolls and doll heads. I think they're so cool - most people think they're strange and scary!
Cracks me up.
Gesso, molding paste...fun and vitally important items when working with paints! And, of course, Gorilla glue!
I love to buy big sheets of fabulous papers and I roll them up and store them in this really big glass cylinder. 
Paint brushes and bling. Who could want anything more? Heehee
I utilize every space in my studio. . .this vintage lamp shade and bird cage are hanging from my ceiling.
A vintage typewriter, vintage silhouette tray and a couple of vintage dance cards.
Every mixed media artist has lots of vintage papers!
A stack of finished tags just waiting to be uploaded into my Lollishop and Etsy shop.
Oh, would you look at the time???

Oh, your studio looks awesome, I love it. I love your color palette too. Yes I love Marie but I do not belong to the group. Last I looked it said group is full and not excepting new members =(. I like the way you covered your door with the pretty fabrics.

That was fun, the similarities that we have amaze me. Wish I could join you at the movies and in a land of no snow...if we do a show down your way I told John we must see you and Cindy!!!! I am stealing your idea about the "I know..." bumper sticker. I just have not done so yet. Keep the toe happy! Think of the alternative :( And remember, su casa es mi casa :)
Hugs,
Pam
