Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!
Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....
I
feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin
Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I
was....
I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....
As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

In my last post, I shared how my Craft Room is decorated for Christmas, 2026 over on my Christmas Blog....
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
And now for a few Personal Notes...
For the New Year, I am trying something different with my 3 times weekly posts....
On THURSDAYS,
I will feature what I cooked and ate during the week, showcasing local
cuisine and a few recipes for things that I actually made...
I decided that on SATURDAYS, I will showcase What I Have Been Up To in the past week, sharing events and places I went to, if any....
On MONDAYS, I will be featuring What I Have Bought or Been Gifted Recently, if anything...
The only food I have to share this THURSDAY is what my son Joey bought at a Farmer's Market that sets up every Tuesday in a pocket park across the street from where he works....
Since he does go out for lunch on Tuesdays, he has been treating me to this local home grown sweet corn......
Tomatoes....
And homemade garlic bread which is sensational...
That is why I have not been going down to the Amish Farmer at the Mall by me as much this Summer but I do need to go and stock up on the Amish Farmer's cheeses before the Winter as I freeze them to use all Winter.....
Today, I will be sharing how I reorganized my Craft Room after going through every single tub, box , drawer and closet where I had craft supplies stored....
I then decided what to keep, what to pass on and then had to take what was left and put it all into different tubs, boxes, etc and re-label everything!!
Then I needed to clean and decide how I was going store everything in just my Craft Room and nowhere else.....
It was a daunting task that took almost 2 weeks, taking 2 car loads of things to donate to a local church flea market....
When I was all done, I was able to take down and remove one shelf unit and rearrange the furniture arrangement on one side of the room, creating much more space in the room....
I am happy with how it all turned out and glad it is done......
Today, in Part 1, I will be sharing this side of the room, which is mainly for storage of craft supplies and crafting.....
The color theme of the room , which was my son Joey's, is sage green and pink.....
When you walk into the room, the first thing that juts out in front of your face is this wall..... 
My late husband Joe laminated all the newspaper clippings of when our home and garden was featured a few times in local newspapers, along with interviews I gave a chair person of different events and events that I participated in, along with editorials....
It is my wall of Fame or maybe shame.....
On the left wall, is the closet......
Above the doors......
I will be sharing this closet, that I also reorganized, in a future post....
On this chalkboard that I embellished is my favorite quote.....
I was able to move this vintage pink hamper, that now holds all of my fabric, over to another area of the room, creating an easier access to the closet....
I shared my Christmas decorations in this room in my previous post because instead of packing everything away for only 3-4 months, I decided to just redecorate the room as I had to do it differently because of removing that one storage shelf unit from the room......
This is the top of this large shelf unit......
This is all completely redone....
Top shelf
Mica & snowflakes, stickers including Christmas ones, scrapbook smalls and fur & hair....
Misc. smalls, clothes pins & small woods and picture mats...
In this suitcase are Christmas cards and ephemera.....
And you may remember this plastic case, which I was hoping to be able to use in my craft room for organizing small things, when I went through and reorganized my storage room.....
After passing on enough nails to build another house with........
I did fill it with smalls used for crafting.....
It holds a bunch of stuff.....
The middle shelf....
Floral supplies, gems & rhinestones, tulle rounds & organza bags, and magnets & magnet strips
Embroidery & floss and burlap....
This is a tool kit I bought at the estate sale of a neighbor who passed away....
This way I do not have to run downstairs if I need a tool......
Glitter, red and green small ball ornaments, jingle bells and small bottles and jars....
The bottom shelf.....
I was able to move most of the Christmas craft supplies that I previously stored in my Sitting Room closet here....
Christmas ornaments & crafts and snowman/Winter crafts....
Christmas trims that I left in Christmas boxes....
Jar lids, mini trees & garland and velvet ribbon...
Beads....
Fringe , tassels and fringed trim....
Large ribbon flowers....
Venice lace trim and appliques.....
My paints.... 
Many years ago, I had my husband Joe cut a piece of PVC pipe that I attached to a board, after covering the pipe with contact paper, to make something to store wreaths on....
I used to make and sell quite a bit of wreaths so I always had a huge supply of them....
I left the brackets up and removed the shelf so I could use them to hang things on like these smaller wreaths....
Embroidery hoops and other things are hanging on this bracket....
This is an old computer desk that I bought at a church flea market years ago for $5......
To create a drawer, I glued take out containers and a drawer organization tray to the keyboard shelf......
Making it easy to store all these things.....
To make the desk larger and provide more of a work surface, I had placed a piece of particle board that we had on top.....
You can see how it extends out in front and on the sides......
I then covered the particle board with 2 pieces of a vinyl tablecloth, also bought at a yard sale....
Ironically, my late neighbor Elly had a massive oak desk in her home which she had a piece of glass on top of it which fit on that piece of particle board perfectly!!!!!!
What the heck are the chances??????
I
placed some of my old business cards from when I sold crafts on eBay
and a picture of a display I had in a local consignment store underneath
the glass.......
I
then moved this shelf, that I bought in Salvation Army for $5, and
decoupaged pictures from calendars to the back of the chubby holes, onto
the back of the table......
This created a craft table with a lot more room to craft on.....
On the left side.....
I used small canisters as pencil and pen holders....
I bought this lamp a few years ago......
It also has a magnifying feature on it that I could use if need be.....
A reader of my blogs gifted me this beautiful vintage ceramic canister set....
I store glue sticks, colored markers, sponge brushes and other things in them.....
The antenna is for my TV and I pick up 26 TV stations by using it....
The top shelf.....
I embellished tin cans to use for storage....
Bottom shelf....
I like to keep glitter in salt and pepper shakers making it easier to use....
On the right hand side of the work table.....
I store different types of scissors in a vintage canister....
Tools to prevent me from burning my fingers when using my glue guns even though I think I burned my finger prints off already...
My glue guns and a hot air dryer to use for drying paint projects....
A non stick pad I use when using hot glue....
A new glue gun I bought because the trigger on one of mine is broke....
Since the work table extends out in front, I was able to store this tub of larger craft
supplies, which is on a board that I had Joe make with casters attached
so it can be easily be rolled out, and when I sit
here, I am not bumping the tub with my knees....
This was where the tower for the computer was once stored....
I use it now for more storage....
A vintage wastebasket....
Joe bought 2 altar chairs at a church flea market for $5 each many years ago....
I painted and decoupaged this one...
I have a heated massaging pillow on the back and a seat cushion, which I realize I should cover with a pretty fabric, on the chair....
I did reupholster the seat with part of a curtain panel.....
And I added part of a bed ruffle around the bottom......
I made the other chair into a Pittsburgh Sports Chair for Joe....
I have to find a new owner for it that will appreciate these teams.....
In the right corner......
More shelves that I left up......
Ruffled lace.....
Trims......
This small TV was my sons and he will be hooking it up to Roku soon for me so I can stream....
A smaller shelf unit.....
On top of the shelf unit....
2 drawers that hold more craft supplies....
In an antique sewing machine drawer, that I painted pink, is where I store glues and sprays .....
More supplies stored in this old desk drawer that was being thrown out that I rescued and painted....
Top shelf.....
On the bottom shelf.....
Styrofoam and wood plaques....
Taller items stored in this tin bucket.....
And this is where I will leave off on my tour of my new reorganized Craft Room....
I am happy with how it all turned out and grateful that it is now finished....
I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY when I will be continuing my tour of the Craft Room....
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
And try to find JOY in every single day! 
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
