My Women Cave/Therapy Room

 This first photo is the shot where you can see the whole room, except for the area where I am taking the photo, which actually is the stairway to the basement where my room is.  Under the stairway I do have another station where someone can actually stamp also.  I forgot to take a pic of that.  But it is actually just a few old cabinets from our old house and a countertop and I made a place for a bar chair to be used at the counter. Sorry for the gray pole in the middle of the room....it actually is a jack that holds the ceiling up, or the floor of the room upstairs...whichever.....I don't like it there it does get in the way, but I guess it is better then the upstairs falling on my head............I guess If I ever get bored I could learn pole dancing in my free time........:) :)  thats funny!
 The area to the left of my desk is the cutting area.  I keep my larger cutter, and the cuddlebug, bigshot and also several sizzix dies that I use from time to time.  Even though I have the cricut and could probably cut any of those shapes, using the dies is a lot quicker and keeps me from having to get the  cricut stuff out.  My desk is the best.  I bought it off Craigslist and we had to cut the legs off it to get it down the stairs, but we re-attached them and you can't tell it ever happened.  My drawers on the side is full of all the things I used the most of.  I would love to have a desk chair to match the desk but I will have to keep looking for the right one. The cabinets are holding stamps, paper, and all kinds of things like brads, buttons, and lots of embellishments I forget about.
The white shelf I have the sizzix dies in is actually from Ikea.
 This is the right side of my desk.  I keep all my cricuit carts on this side along with my cricut.  I also do some sewing here too.  My books are mostly about photoshop and photography.  I used to take a lot of Senior pictures and most of my work is done in the corner, on the desktop there.  This is also a work area too.  There is plenty of room there  for more work stations to.  The desk is something my husband brought home to me from an auction....I love it.
This is the punch area, the landing of the stairway is here too.
This I really shouldn't say is NOT all my punches.  I just don't have room to display all of them.  But the ones I use the most are here.  I have several baskets of punches not hanging.  I am a punchaholic........along with paper, and well just about anything to do with cardmaking I am addicted to.
