A Crazy Workshop Fairytale (and winners!)

Once upon a time,

... this crazy girl with crazy dreams could no longer budge into her own workspace to create crazy creations. She called a truce with her junk and exclaimed, "That's it! We are SO DONE!"

So she decided if she was going to go through the major breakup of all her fine rust and relics, that she needed some major moral support. So she created a workshop series along with a blog friend with the first installment being, to create a workshop of course! And opened the door to her beloved blog buddies to suffer along join in.

Most joined in and cheered. And then there were those that took the challenge to enhance their own workshops! But it was a tough road for many of them. Dealing with renos, poor winter weather, illnesses, and

*You know who you are

*some crazy wacked out computer with a temper tantrum losing major amounts of pictures at the eleventh hour, many lost hope in their quest for a beautiful workspace. Spirits dropped! Something had to be done! Quick like!

So the crazy girl did the only thing she could do. Make crazy videos of course!

Spirits perked... seemed like the crazy girl had crazy loyal friends, for they stuck it out much to the crazy girl's surprise!

One by one, workshops started to come to completion. The crazy girl watched in glee as her flourishing friends rose to the top right along with her! Estatic, she set a deadline so they could begin a normal life again soon! Very very soon!

And then they were done. To celebrate this amazing feat, the group got together and threw a little workshop shindig, inviting the entire world over for a little peek at all they had accomplished.

#1. Babysteps Cottage's amazing barn slowly morphing, as the cold weather put a temporary hold on the progress. Look at that brick wall! Cool!

#2. Make Mine Beautiful's amazing professional setup! Polly had just moved house and home and was able to have her new workshop set up in the knick of time for this reveal!

#3. Heartwood Roses' amazingly unique space in her 1848 home. Incredibly unique features everywhere you look. You must check out the island. Beautiful!

#4. The Magic Brush's art studio. Beeeeutiful colours and patterns! But ya gotta go check out that floor! Floooooor envy, baby!

#5. Artistically Speaking's video of her awesome studio. So many specialties to gaze at with every turn! Sorry, was not able to capture a picture.

#6. Kitchen Table Productions goes through a major amazing overhaul!

(Too bad we can't say the same for the uncooperative ribbon)

#7. Prim and Proper gets all gussied up for the big event! Check out her sideways shelf she mounted to the wall. Cool idea!

#8. Simply Casual-Cottage creates a sweet little cottage style workshop, adorned with a lovely tarantula, funky junk style for this special occasion!

#9. Under the Table Dreaming's amazing rustic retreat that has all the touches any creative mind would enjoy. Amazing photography and ultra creative objects!

#10. Sue - I'd love for you to email me when your workshop is complete. Get better soon!

And then the voting began. Many from far and wide joined in for the big event, casting their votes for the little workspace that spoke to them the most. It was to celebrate these 9 beautiful workshops that came to completion! Bravo to all!

However, as in all good sportsmanship kind of events, it's time to celebrate with gifts for the lucky chosen!

Congratulations Stephanie Lynn of  Under the Table Dreaming!

Your workspace is amazing. Total eye candy brimming with inspiration everywhere you look! I'd hang any of these items right in my livingroom. Stunning photography to boot! Thank-you so much for the lovely tour! 

and random draw winner...

Congrats Ali! I'm happy to wait till after your move so we can get you set up with just the right touch!

Ahhhh... but we are not done quite yet.

And I'd like to make one honourable mention. There was a gal in our midst that, against the odds, she overcame so much in such a short time. It's my belief that passion has indeed hit her in the most profound way. She brings laughter and smiles to her posts at every turn, and I'm so very pleased to have her as our friend right here in workshopville. Grade A student, going for the gold!

Kolein the arteeeest, you get to go shopping too. :)

Let me know what type of labeling you gals would like when you're ready as per THIS LINK, and I'll getcha set up!
