Need to get my craft going!

So, August is arriving tomorrow and apparently is taking the hotter than Hades route to get here, bringing along scorching heat in his wake. What does that make a girl want to do? Why, clean out the garage, of course!

What's that you say? You DON'T want to clean out the garage? Whyever not? Remember back in June when you said, Oh, we don't have to do it NOW, August will be a much better time to work in the garage? Not remembering that? Yeah, well, I'm not remembering it either. However, it has been brought to my attention that I said something along those lines and now here I am.

I was thinking of jumping right in but then I thought, that seems a bit crazy and there are at least 15 yard sales going on tomorrow AND T. needs a new pair of goggles for the pool tomorrow afternoon AND there is Swim-O-Rama going on tomorrow so really, isn't Sunday a much better day?

Anyway, I solemnly promise to get around to cleaning out the garage.

But let's talk about fun stuff.

I get this magazine called DIY Ideas. Here's a link: http://www.diyideas.com/
It's got some great stuff in it and I am so worried that it's going to become defunct as all my other favorites have so recently (Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion, Creative Home :-O) but for now I am just gleaning ideas from it left and right.

The latest is an idea for my craft room downstairs. My craft room is going to be in the downstairs kitchen which is really just an unfinished kitchen with floor cabinets and no upper cabinets. So for the upper walls I saw where they took pegboard and painted it to match the walls and mounted stuff on that. It actually looks better than it sounds and I think I have found the answer to my dilemma of how to set that room up.

Also, I am jonesin' to paint a crappy laminate dresser so may start that sometime next week.

I really don't know if I am going to paint my living room this summer or not. I seem to be running out of time.

Thanks for listening to what has really just been a ramble on my part. I am just aching to do something creative and I feel like my creative well has run dry these past few months.
