Name: Waleska
City, State: Southern California
Blog: talking to myself
How long have you been a DT member? Since January 2010
Favorite SC product? Mister Huey's, Wood Veneer, FabRips
Any rituals when your kits arrive? The boys and I stalk the UPS guy, run up the stairs as soon as we hear the truck (to look out the window), run down, open the door + rip open the box right away! I open each bag (carefully not to rip the labels) and lay out every item on the floor. Delivery day is super exciting around here :)
All time favorite SC kit? Yearbook
Three products you can't live without: white cardstock, pretty paper and brads/buttons (and Mister Huey's! Ok. that's four but in case you were wondering...)
Three people you get scrappy inspiration from (include links to blogs if possible): Everyone! Seriously, I love looking through galleries and magazines for inspiration. There's so many talented scrappers out there...
Three goals you have:
Capture more of our everyday
Make our house feel more like a home (which has been hard while renting)
Play, have fun and keep my boys my top priority
Three of my favorite photos...
This picture makes me laugh every single time.
This one shows my kids personalities... Can you guess who's the trouble maker?
And here's one of the very few pictures where you can see me :)
Take a peek into where I scrapbook...
My desk + shelves. Everything I own it's right there. When I run out of space it's time to purge. And yes, my desk is always that clean (well, except when I'm in the middle of a project, of course) :)










ummm, Waleska... I kind of love you. I always have. But now that I have seen how neat you are and how you keep your desk clean I love you even more. LOVE how you use IKEA shelving and storage to keep everything hidden. I am struggling with overload right now, and it excites me to see your room because LESS is MORE to me. I see so many rooms that are filled to the brim and I just can't relate to having soo much stuff.
THANKS!

I try to organize my space...but as soon as it's time to work on something it seems everything is suddenly out of place (sigh). I also want to add that I can see why your 3 favorite photos are your 3 favorite photos...what cute boys you have. Are you saying that one of them is NOT a troublemaker? I thought ALL boys were capable (smile)!

What an adorable mr huey holder! I must copy. And those colanders? Funny, I JUST NOW returned from the grocery store where I saw them (Safeway) and thought they were soooo cute! Impractical, but cute. Now you made me see they aren't impractical, they are a necessity! LOL Have a great weekend!
