mamma's fergustuff: craft room

i went home to atlanta this past saturday to find my childhood bedroom in total disarray. my grandfathers roll top desk had been replaced by my brothers college dining table. quite the downgrade. it's official. my bedroom has turned into mom's craft room. it was hard to lose that great old wood desk, but sorting through all of mom's crafting goods was a fun-filled, team activity. craft on mamma!
