SCHOOLโS OUT FOR SUMMER! We have a long weekend ahead of us – YAHOO! We all grew up with our parents yelling at us to get outside in the summer. I did the same to my son when he chose Gameboy over gorgeous summer weather! Then along comes Jomelle Gomez with a craft room share; and honestlyโฆyou could lock me up in there and throw away the keyโฆNEVER let me out! You are in for a treat! Hi! My name is Jomelle and this is my craft room. ย ย I can just stay here all day long playing with all my planner goodies. I fell in love with the EZ View desk from The Original Scrapbox.
