Cleaning Lady

My favorite yahoo group has started up once again (only active Spring and Summer) and Kimm, our challenge leader is getting us ready for a season of creating with a series of challenges.  The first challenge was to find and clean your stamp area. Ladies are posting their before and after photos - gosh, I love seeing where other ladies create.

Because of all this activity,I thought I'd do a little cleaning lady...


Her face was borrowed from a  picture in an old stamp catalog - Stamps by Judith - Judith Kleinschmidt.
Her shoes were borrowed from my memory of Carol Burnett and her cleaning lady character.
Her hair is the postage stamp punch with another piece of it punched next to the hole to give a front layer
Dust pan is the pennant punch trimmed to have a handle
Collar is from the cupcake punch
The rest is the usual mess.

and here without any mess is my clean space....


Hopefully it will be covered in punch droppings soon (and for the next few months...)

Looks great! So...where are ya hiding all your punches???

I just recently cleaned out my stamping studio too - what a mess I made before I was finished!!

You can see the "new" style on the shelf behind me. The old faithfuls are in 2 drawers of the desk (two very full drawers)

I have no walls - this is an open space in my home. I can't do those great hook your punches on a bar things... bummer.
