I was reading Maria's blog this morning and decided I would share these pics I took earlier this morning of the state of my scraproom. We've been using it as a dumping ground the last few weeks as I'm not exactly scrapping much. We also hired a cleaning lady (why oh why did I wait so long to do that?!?) and so we had to get stuff out of the living room so she could actually clean and all the stuff went into my room. I'm kinda feeling the urge to scrap again but before I can do that, I need to be able to actually get INTO my room. I have less stash now, having sold a little over £500 I think but still need to sort out a few more bits and put stuff away. I thought I was going to have to give up my room for the baby but we've decided to put them both in the same room for the first few years. My scraproom is one floor down from our bedrooms and I think I'd feel more comfortable having us all sleeping on the same floor. Other people have said their kids have shared and it's worked out well so we're going to give it a shot and worst case, I'll clean out my room completely. For now it will be a safe place for my dollhouses and stash as N is into everything now so nothing is safe! A locked door is the best option!
I'm hoping to get this room tidied today and tomorrow so that I can get creative again. I remember last pregnancy I was too restless the first few months to do much and then too uncomfortable toward the end to do much so the next few months is my window of opportunity to get things done. I'd like to catch up on N's scrapbooks and do a few pregnancy pages for baby 2 as I get the feeling I won't have a ton of free time later on this year!
Well, my room is just like that, and it has a bed inside too! :D I think you're okay will children sharing a room the first couple of years ... especially if they are on the same floor ... :D
Will be lovely to see you scrapping again! :D

Wow! that's a very eclectic (ahem!) room :), hope you get it how you want it without tiring yourself out too much.
My 2 older boys share - they would miss each other terribly if they had separate rooms now, not that they would admit it though.

Ooh, that looks familiar.
My girlies still share and love it. Mind you I did catch them chatting quite late last night.
They keep each other company especially when they were smaller and woke up in the night.
Happy Sunday xxx
