So there I was snapping pictures, and it occurred to me that it would be even MORE fun to invite you to share yours, too. I'd love it if you'd send me a picture of your studio or work space that I can share. I don't care if you work on a table in your dining room or have a huge studio with ten employees. I'll set up a virtual studio tour so we can all see each other's spaces. How fun is that?
Here's my little tour:
My studio is two bedrooms with the wall knocked out between them. The left side is my office and painting table. (set up right now with a new beading project)
On the other side is my production area, a shipping station for the smaller orders, and stock and supplies. This table is where I assemble and box the clocks, on the left you can see all the labels. To the left of the desk are the cards and unfinished, unfolded bookmarks.
Small order packing and shipping (large orders get packed downstairs in the shop) and small supplies
Here (just to the right of the work table) is the closet full of finished clock faces, waiting to be assembled.
And this what 3000 alarm clocks looks like. On the doors on the left are tiny shelves of finished bookmarks (about 1200 of them) and on the right, all the alarm clock labels.
Bins of magnets (about 1200 sets ready to ship).
Now if you go outside, across a breezeway and open a door and go downstairs, there is the shop. This is where I do all my mounting, store boxes and other supplies and the clock back stock is here. It's also where I pack up the larger orders. I'm going to spare you the whole tour, but this is just a partial shot of the finished clocks. This wall is about twice this long and there are two full walls like this. These shelves are actually very empty because I just shipped a ton of orders.
This week I'll be refilling all those empty spots.
Okay, now it's your turn. Please send (only one or two) images to: businessofcrafts@comcast.net. I'll put the post together later in the week. And please invite your friends to send theirs too! Be sure to include your name, business name and website so I can post links!

Okay, yeah, you answered my question. Wow. I would love for my studio to look like this some day. Your peaceful colors and those well-organized shelves and cubbies knock me out.
Will you please come over and help me reorganize my kitchen cabinets?
