Okay... so i havent blogged in sooo long that i forgot that i NEED to put the pictures on first and then type my text... so you can read the bottom of this post to understand the pics!!! But a brief explanation.. i have been doing a LOT of cleaning out and re-organizing!! I have taken three bags full of stuff that is junk and taking up space to the DI and i have organized my whole house.. so here are a few pics-- just in case you need organizing ideas!!
We were lucky enough to have some members of our ward donate their still perfect futon to us. We were so excited because we have been looking for a futon or pull out sofa for a while--- and well "Good things come to those who wait" and i am soooo learning this right now....
Side note: I have wanted this book from Deseret Book for a while, like since it came out practically, but i could never bring myself to spend the money on it... so last week-- dont worry it was on sale for 1.99!! No that is not a typo.. it was only $2!!!! It was practically 90% off!!!
Anyway, Here is our futon, and it is a little big.. so i have been re-arranging to fit it in the bedroom.....
I bought this rack at ikea for $20.. i needed some shelves and well this was cheap and sturdy and mod... Might not always be the cutest... but it will do for now and would go kid a childs bedroom one day.. so it was worth the drive to ikea(because i love that place) and investment.... Oh and my mom got me a cricket for christmas... I have used it for scrapbooking, but i need to get some vinyl, cause i am excited to try that!!! I love it!!! I was so excited to have one!!
Here is a creative way that i decided to hang my purses... I had some old shower curtain round hook things, so i hooked them on the rack in the closet and hung my purses from them.. It makes it so much easier to see and it is not just laying all over my cupboard, or on a shelf to hard to reach... So much easier to find when i know which purse i want to use....
Here is all my "hair" supplies... i have everything i need to do hair in these plastic bins and in the black bag next to them... i also have nails, and sewing kits, and small misc. items in the small three drawer bin on the left.
Lastly, i never had a jewelry holder... i had this thing in one of my cupboards that was kind of like a tie rack that i would hang my necklaces and earrings on... but it was hard to see what was on it, and it was pain to hang the items up... so i saw this wall in our closet that had nothing on it, and i brainstormed for a few days, and came up with this, i bought kitchen cabinet knobs at home depot and took some screw eyes and put them in the bottom of the piece of wood... i painted it too... and voila!! I have this awesome, easily accessable jewelry holder, and I wear my fun earrings WAY more often... and my dresser is free of the jewelry clutter!! I seriously am in love with this little invention!!!
So, now here is my "type" that should have been at the top....

So, now here is my "type" that should have been at the top....So I have to apologize... i have not been blogging for a while... i havent looked at blogs, nor posted on mine.... I am suppose to update my moms every now and again and i have seriously been slacking.... I decided a couple months ago, that i spend toooo much time on the computer.
I would get up and immediately go to the computer and then before i knew i was still in my pjs and three hours had gone by!! (I know you all do this too... so dont judge!!! j/k)
So, i decided that i could get a lot more done if i didnt get on the computer so much!!! And it has been working!! I have deep cleaned and re-organized my ENTIRE house, i have tried some new recipes, i have been making shopping lists(so i am not so flustered or compulsive when i go to the store), i have sent out all birthday cards on time this year, I have done so much scrapbooking-- it is awesome!!! I feel so productive and more energetic...
So i am sorry have not posted, nor commented... i have been reading up on everyone though!!!

so i totally want and very badly need a jewelry holder like that! thanks for the idea, maybe some day i can get around to making one like that... or finding one just like it and buying it! haha! and your description of being addicted to the computer pretty much sounds like mine. i really need to have self control because i know i could get so much more done, too! so don't apologize for the lack of posts and comments, you are better than the rest of us poor saps.
Go Sara, I love the organization. When are you coming to my house? Thank you for the "on time" birthday card. I loved it and love you. Let's talk soon!
The organizing looks great. And you can always just move the pictures on your blog. I always do all my typing first, and then add my pictures and drag them to where I want them in my blog. Very impressive that you got all your birthday cards out, and on time, I endless amounts of free time and I still don't get it done.
Sara you're back! I love all the organizing! Please come do my house next!
Great idea on the Jewelry holder. I so need to go through my stuff and just let go of things I haven't used/worn in forever. i LOVE organizing too. It's therapy for me and it's been SO long...maybe that's why I'm extra cranky lately.
Great post - good to hear from you!
WOW, crafty i had no idea. good job, your projects turned out great!
Good job on the organization! That always feels good when your finished!
wow! i'm impressed by your ambition to go through your entire house! i'll definitely be gettin some more info from you on a couple of your projects.
I'm sooo impressed, Sara!! Way to go on organizing your whole house. I need to do that too! Want to come do my house now that you're done with yours? I remember you showing me that jewelry thing when I was at your house last. It looks great! I totally agree with you...I spend way too much time on the computer too and so lately I haven't been posting much/reading much because frankly, my family is more important...and I too, get more done that way! Oh, and did your fondue pot ever come clean?? I HOPE so! Congrats on your new calling! Where were you at church today?
YOu are the master of organization I think! YOu wanna come to my house and help me out? :)
Jewelry is so hard to organize, looks like you mastered it. We miss you guys, we just got in to Denver, but we are still holding out fro Arizona, we will see soon hopefully.
You are so organized! I need to take some lessons from you. We made our blog private so send me your email jemeno83@hotmail.com THanks! :)
