Well the time is here! Welcome to the Where Bloggers Create II Party! I am really excited to see all the amazing work spaces of so many creative women out there in blogland. Thanks so much to Karen of My Desert Cottage for hosting this fabulous event!
I guess I should start by saying hello and thank you for visiting. My name is Carrie and I am the owner/designer of a vintage inspired paperie called Noelle Garrett Designs. We have been around for over 2 years now and enjoy creating a mix of unique paper goodies and altered vintage pieces. I live in sunny southern CA with my hubby, 2 kiddies and 2 kitties!
My creative space is not very large but I make due with what I have and find inspiration in whichever current muse is hanging around. For now it is St. Joan. I usually have 2-3 vintage dress forms in varying stages of transformation at any give time. Though they are hard to part with it is exciting to think they are out there in the world making someone else smile.
Fresh flowers are a must and I usually have a little bouquet lying around. They just make me smile and I love bright colors, especially in the summer!
This was my daughter's changing table. It works well to keep me semi-organized. We aren't having anymore kids, are we? (wink wink)
Because space is so limited I make use of many trunks, boxes and baskets to store oodles of lace, flowers and more.
I love this little wooden tote. It is perfect for taking tiny projects with me. 
You will find all sorts of dress forms as my collection is steadily growing. 
Thank you so much for stopping by to see my little creative corner. Oh, and this is Leo, he also frequents my boxes of lace as they are perfect for naptime. I hope you will take the time to visit more bloggers beautiful creative spaces!Happy Creating!

Great idea for reusing the change table! Loved the cute pic of Leo in his basket - he should get together with our Mitzy. Thanks for having us over.
You do great work. I love your black and cream box. Love your boarder too.

Cool Dressform and is that a kitty in the box how adorable is that! Terrific space to create all those wonderful creations that you do. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Leo looks like he has the best spot of all! Your room is lovely, as is your work. The stamped muslin looks most interesting but then so do all your bits and pieces. I look forward to coming back and seeing your work!
Hi Carrie,
Love your space. I am dying for a dress form and plan to get one soon. You have good taste. So glad you joined the party. And hope you are doing well.
Have a great day,

Great space, Carrie! I love all your stamped muslin {I've purchased some in the past}! I just love those hat boxes in your first picture. What a creative idea to use an old changing table as storage and it looks like it works out great.
What a blissful haven you create in! Love the kitty in the box. Your dress form is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Leo doesn't look comfortable. How funny! I enjoyed my visit to your blog and to your studio. Thanks for sharing. Connie
Such a cozy studio! Love those tags and that sweet cat:O) Thank You for sharing~ Isabel:O)

your space is wonderful. I love the containers you use for storag
Your kitty in the box is cute-one of my granddaughters favorite books is "My cat likes to hide in boxes".
I knew I was going to like your space when I saw one of my all time favorite stamps in the first picture of your post. And I was right. Thank you for sharing it with me. I have only been blogging for a month but I look forward to taking part next year.
BTW~ I am having a giveaway to celebrate the 30 day anniversary of my blog... Yes, only 30 days! I would love it if you would come by and visit at http://scrappingwithsherry1.blogspot.com/ Hope to see you there~ Sherry
Loved seeing all your goodies. The layered textures in your work are just yummy!
