My Mini Photo Studio and My Workspace Full of Retro Cafe Art Goodness! (WOYWW)

Good Morning!  This will be a quick on today due to the whole vacation thing, but a few of you asked to see the light box and light photo studio set up, so I decided to share that today along with my desk shot.  I don't have anything super fancy set up, just two IKEA Lack tables side by side with the light box and lights.  Oh.  And Domos.  One in a panda suit.  They protect the photo station.  Just say'n.


My Mini Photo Studio


Beneath the table I keep my stash of bristol and canva-paper along with the bags of the cards I create, my heat gun, and my flower frogs.  I like the set up and it seems to be working well so far!

Here is my desk at the moment:

Not quite as messy as usual, but I DID just get a BUNCH of fun new stuff from Retro Cafe Art and I can't WAIT to play with it!!!

So...that's my desk for now!  I hope you have enjoyed the peek!  Have a Happy Wednesday and don't forget to check out the rest of the participants over on Julia's blog!

  1. Your new light box is GREAT! I think I really DO need to invest in one because the dilapitated three-sided poster board I've been using in this poorly lit room is SO NOT WORKING! Have a fun day, lil' Jen!

  12. Well I skipped back to see the photo booth results - definitely worth having, such a professional finish (love the martini card!). And yes, you did get some new goodies. Yummy, almost enough to just slew over the desk like Mrs Cool Jingle. Have fun!
