I am starting a new venture at home, my own scrappin' shack! I will be able to run away, just a few yards from my back door. We have a little building out back, with the dogs. The previous owner built it to use as an art studio. It has a concrete floor, electricity, insulated walls, and a window.

Doesn't look like much yet. May add a picket fence in the front to keep the dogs at bay. I have five roaming around in the yard.

I had moved scrapping items out there in the last year, but never got completely moved out there because there is no heating and cooling in the place. I've finally realized that it isn't happening any time soon, so why not. I will have to haul heat sensitive items back and forth, but that is ok.

After a little clean up, I was starting to sort through tons of memorabilia. Dh had given me some halogen lamps years ago, and I snagged a bar stool from our kitchen.

I discovered a patio table in one corner, so I set that up as an extra table.

Looks nice, huh? I figure this will be the future place for a Cricut machine, lol. The brown shelving unit is something I made almost 30 years ago in high school when I took a woodworking class. Sentimental, and now some extra storage.

To the right in this photo, a nice cabinet that dh picked up at Habitat for Humanity. It will make some nice storage.

This white cabinet was taken from my childrens' room years ago. A great place for storing paper...

A nice touch, a floor rug that dh snagged the other day at Habitat for Humanity for only 2 bucks! Isn't he a sweetie? He also lugged a floor heater out of storage. I am all set for some 'Me' time, any time I want. I have already spent a few hours out there. I get totally lost, time flies by. I may have to set a timer so I don't lose track of time. Oh yes, I grabbed an old clock radio from the kitchen to use for some background music. I can hardly wait to start posting my layouts...
