Today marks the end of an era for me. I’ve been working in a small room down the hallway with the bedrooms. Small enough that I can pretty much touch each wall from where I’m sitting. There is a small track in and when one is in here, it’s extremely hard to leave. My scrapping room has been affectionately known as the ‘batcave’ for years, but it’s all about to change.
Today is the day the furniture for the new office arrives. It’s an office big enough to be a double bedroom. It has 3 desks. One for me, one for hubby and one for the kids. I can scrap. I can keep up with the accounting side of the business paperwork. Paul can study and complete business paperwork and quotes. The kids can come home from school and do their homework. It’ll be bliss. It’s been a long time coming.
So it’s goodbye little batcave. I’ve probably spent thousands of hours in here over the past 4 years. I created Shauna’s Chatterbox album in here, I’ve toiled over CHA layouts here, I’ve written and created art for my book in here. It’s going to be hard to say goodbye.
I still find it a little bizarre that I manage to be so involved in this hobby that it is now a living for me. Sometimes I have to remind myself it’s a hobby too. So here’s to scrapbooking, and here’s to a new office. BRing it on.
(Layout created for my book, That’s Life, in 2006. It’s still all true , it’s just the same, I just have more wrinkles now….)
