October Monthy SWAP

Hi Friends,
I've finally decided on the theme for our October SWAP, and I'm sure you've all figured it out since I was asking who has Cuttlebugs, etc... Anyway I want to host a Embossing/Die Cut SWAP. It'd be great to get some embossed sheets from folders we don't have. If you don't have embossing folders or the ability to emboss then send out die cuts you can make. Which ever you prefer. Have fun and let me know if you have any questions. As with the other SWAPS send all to me with SASE and I'll sort and send out to everyone on the list. PM or email me if you'd like to be in this SWAP. I know it's a bit in the future so no rush.

My Little Bit of Heaven (Joy's Scraproom)

This is my wonderful place where I escape . My DH helped me put together my crafting room, where I spend most of my time, although it seems I spend more time on my lappy talking to my wonderful Night Owl friends then actually working on projects. The walls are painted red and shelving is in white. I used a look of black accents. My girlfriend made the chair covers and curtains with my favorite Mary Englebreit fabric.




1st picture is showing the closest, the doors have been removed and it consists of an entire shelving system then my jetmax cubes are also in there, we put a shelf on the bottom to hold up the jetmax cubes and to allow plenty of room under it for all my totes that I use when I go to crops, also stores my sewing machine.







2nd picture is one of my wall spaces, the counter tops are made of MDF extra wide and it is a U shape along 3 walls.

3rd picture is the opposite side the window wall.

Final picture is a small little dresser that I use to store my current projects that I would like to do chipboard books, paint cans, etc. also in the wardrobe section that contains some of my stamp sets along with partial completed projects.

Our "Sister" Jann

Just a brief note to let everyone know that Jann's mother passed away this morning around 4:30. Please keep Jann & her family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Jann, we love you and are here for you.

BugHead RAK

Ok, so I still have to do my RAK for my 2nd bughead. We're gonna find out how well everyone knows me.

How many people AND animals live in my house, and what is everyone's name? 1st person with correct response wins.

Siobhan's Scrap Envy Cave!

Looking into the scrap room from the dining room. The living room is just to the right of this view and the kitchen is directly behind. My house has a really open floor plan so I had to make sure that everything flows well together.

This is a second view into the room.

Another view looking in from the kitchen/dining/living room...

Cardstock storage and yummy massage chair~a girl must unwind! LOL! The closet in this room is mine too and there are shelves in it that are the complete width and depth of the closet but they are a mess and you don't get to see them~! LOL!

My scrap desk. It is a ScrapNCube set up and I LOVE it. My DH bought it for me a few years ago. The desk is 60" long and 26" deep! Each cubit houses it's own goodies and the cubit on the upper right houses my patterned paper. It is almost full but I can supposedly get 700+ pieces in there. In the others I store my metal embellies, buttons, ribbon, fibers, punches, embossing powders, stamps, inks, misc die cuts, Crop o dile, stickels and chalks. I store my ATG in the MM turntable now so the holder is an actual kleenex holder now and the paper trimmer is my one and only Craigslist find...a fairly local lady decided she liked her CM one better! $20 bucks! Hee hee!

E rack. The top shelf is reserved for my lappy when I am scrapping so that I can have it close but not taking up valuable desk space!

My large format Epson printer compliments of the Colorado Lottery!!! We won $200 on a scratch ticket and when I gave Shawn half he wanted his half put towards a good printer!!! Yippeee, we both won! This Expedit has small albums, Mommy's movies, magazines, Xyron, primas, skittles, and my Cuttlebug!

Middle Expedit has completed albums, video games and eletronics and of course a TV.

Another Expedit shelf with photo storage, cards, DCWV stacks, LO waiting for album homes, alchol inks, and embellies storage. I also have a tool caddy on the top which I store letters in

How my scrap room usually looks with Hunter playing video games!

MOM!!!

Newsy News

Good Morning Everyone! I just wanted to do a quick post to let everyone know Stephinie (Mimi) got her 2nd Bughead in the Night Owls thread last night so don't forget to congratulate her!! Today Catie is teaching her first class, Cricut 101, and here's hoping it goes well for you Catie. Also Megan's PEA IS WALKING !! Yea Pea!! What a sweetie. Babies are so cute when they first start toddling along. Megan is also getting ready to move into her new house where she will have her own scraproom!! Yea Megan!! Her DH got it painted and it looks soooo good. I am so happy for her.

OK, about this blog. I set it up for the Night Owls to post news, pictures, swaps, basically anything you want to share with other Night Owls. I thought it would be nice for those who aren't able to be in the thread a lot to have a place to come and catch up quick and get swap info etc... In order to be able to post yourself, you just need to PM me your email address and I will send you an email giving you permission to post. If you have any problems figuring it out all you need to do is PM or email me and I will help you.

Tomorrow I am going to take some time and post all the swap info and rules etc... here. So this will be the place to go to find out what swaps are going on what month and info about those swaps such as requirements, Hostesses, being a Hostess etc... So check back tomorrow. OK, I am going to head out to my own craft room and get some work done. You all have a good day and I will see you in the thread!! Hugs, Pam

Yay! I finally made it. I'm a blogger now!!! Thanks again Pam, this is great! Can't wait for Jann to get here now so we can post pics.

It's Me Joy

Just so you all know when I signed in it used my blog name "Gingerbread Nana" that is the blog that I was starting but not sure about the name, so when you see it - it really is me JOY.
Joy

My 1st Post

Hi all my NOH friends and Thank you Pam for creating this Blog for us. This will be a great way to keep up with everyone.

Test Post

I love my Night Owl Buddies and now we have another cool place to hang out!

New Night Owl Blog

Hello Girls!! I have created a blog just for the Night Owls. This is a private blog and not listed anywhere, however others may still access it if they have the address so remember that when you post. I am just starting to set it up so bear with me for a few days. I am making this a group blog and it can have as many as 100 authors, which means when you have news you want to share with everyone, you can come here and post it and also leave a comment on others posts. We can post swap info and pictures and basically anything you like. I would like to keep the blog as private as possible so I will ask that we don't give out the blog address, add it to our siggies or add as a link on other blogs. I am hoping we can use it as a Virtual Newsletter so when someone is gone or needs info about swaps etc.. they can come here to see what's happening. As I figure out more I will set up more. The name came about because Night Owl News was already taken, so this is the Night Owl Hooter. Does that make us Hooter Girls?? ...LOL. So enjoy it and have fun!! Hugs, Pam
