Haven't you seen these "Keep Calm and Carry On" type signs all over blog land???  I came across THIS site where you can make your own :)  At Keepcalm-o-matic you can create your own "keep calm" sign and save, print etc.  Here are a couple that I made.  I think I'll print one of them and frame it for my craft space :) I didn't deviate from the original much here.... The color was a little off for me, and I found I could upload my own image....  I think this is the one I will print out, what do you think??

New house = New crafty space!!!! And this space needs a name..... Jen's Studio?  Jen's Crafty Place?  Jen's Creative Space?  Jen's Getaway?  HELP! (leave me a comment/suggestion!  If I end up using your suggestion I'll send ya a little somethin'!) Anyways.... This room is about 10.5 x 14 with a nice large walk-in closet.  It's located at the end of our bedroom hall, facing the front of the house/street.  I can just see myself crafting away while the kids play outside (someday....). Before moving in, the walls were blue with a sports border---- had to go!  My painters painted them white and I came in and painted the bottom half Hollyhock Pink (yes, I took Hollyhock cardstock to Home Depot and matched it).  Then I found these AWESOME black damask wall stickers on CLEARANCE at Kohl's a couple weeks ago and put them up as a border. My first "arrangement" of my computer desk/ cubes / scrap table was not working for me at all, so I rearran...
