Nothing but Organizing!

So I have been kind of in a creative funk, I blame it on the ants that just can't seem to get enough of my kitchen floor, I just don't understand, if anything it has forced me to be a better house cleaner (which I confess I really wasn't very good, I still am not great but improved). I vacuum my carpet every other day, and sweet my floor after any food is eaten in it. They seem to come around less often when the swamp cooler is on... thank goodness! Although I have discovered, they do not like my vacuum! So I labeled my canisters, it gives it a homey feel and I enjoy it... it helps and it looks nicer to me ! I made this thing I have been wanting one of these ever since I saw "Marley & Me" they had one hanging on there wall. It's cool, but I keep forgetting to use it! I don't have a very good place for it. I have had the clear calendar part for awhile but I just had it stuck to the side of my fridge and than the frames were on sale at Craft warehouse and so I went for it... it was hard trying to find a piece of paper to go behind that would still be able to show the ink of my markers... they don't sell black dry erase markers by themselves unless you want to spend $6... I had some wood just hanging around and I got these cute black and white photos of us and so I put them to good use. It was fun. I also made one for my bedroom with blue, and made one for my dad for father's day to put up in there house in the mountain. It was a hit... So I had fun getting ready for Sami's party and made this banner to hang up at home... I need to re-design how I do this because it was a lot of letters and they wouldn't lay right... Up close picture... I love the sebastian! I love displaying cards, and this is the best way I have found to do so, especially around Christmas time. I had to do a close up of the Mermaid card and Shelly's "Oh Happy Day"... so dang cute... (Shelly we need to have a craft day...)

Ok, so that is what I have been up to. I take time every day to re-organize something because I love doing it. And there is always something to organize. Today I organized my cupboards because the shelf holders were breaking and so I had to take the weight off of them... I just switched some stuff around in a couple cupboards and it really freed up some room. I also have been organizing my magazine articles. I love taking clippings from magazines and have so many but I always go back to them for re-decorating, dealing with my kids, cooking... whatever and so I have been put it all into binders and organizing... it's taking me longer than hoped and so I will have to show my result. I love looking at other's blogs and seeing there decorating or there organization and so if you have something on your blog that fits those categories share... we can trade secrets!

Well Enjoy!
