Getting Organized!

I recently won an AWESOME giveaway from Sarah at Life {Sweet} Life! She seems to be an organizing queen, and had extra organizing labels left over that she was giving away to one lucky reader. I am always in the need to get organized, so I entered and WON!!! These were not any ordinary labels, they were 1" copper colored labels from Wonderful Graffiti! And, I received a TON of them! I was so excited, you all really have NO IDEA (unless you are my family or close friends reading this) how unorganized I am! So, this giveaway prize was a blessing because it made me make some much needed organizing improvements to my home! I am so thankful I won Sarah! Thanks again!
I really have to work on my photography skills- hard to see these behind the clothes bar, but they say: Detergent, Bleach and Fabric Softener.

I got to work immediately upon receiving the package in the mail. The words were taller than my shelves, so I got creative and labeled the shelf itself, not just the side profile (if that makes sense). Some of the labels were not something that I could use for one reason or another, so I cut them up and made my own, as seen below. (All were made from cutting up other words). It worked perfectly:Except my "x" above-- that one was a little tricky and it certainly shows.

But no matter-- I am ORGANIZED! And I LOVE IT! I even checked out Wonderful Graffiti's website and am considering ordering more!!


Thanks a million, Sarah!

P.S., Sarah is expecting a baby boy soon! Go over and give her a big congrats!

Mission: Organization Part Two

I am slowly but surely clearing our cabinets and closets of unneeded stuff and trying to re-organize our life! This week's task: the master bathroom. I tackled Jeremy's cabinet yesterday and will get to mine, eventually! ha! I really don't like doing this stuff, but it really went fast and looks so much better, don't you think?

(I didn't think to take a before shot because this was not supposed to be done just for my blog :)

Reorganizing this stuff makes it so easy to compile grocery lists. I can just open the cabinet and see what I need, rather than rummaging through the cabinet for an hour. Hopefully it will stay this way for a while. The pantry is still in pretty good shape!

Oh, and Rhett entertained himself with an empty electric razor box while I cleaned!

Mission: Organization

Our pantry has been a disaster for a while now, and with the addition of baby food and formula, it made things even more so! My husband has been telling me for a while now that we need to organize our pantry again. I kept telling him that I would get to it, but just kept putting it off. Last week, I reached into to get something out, and dropped a glass jar of spices on the ground, which shattered into a million pieces and created a huge mess. So, this morning while Rhett was playing and watching Little Einsteins, I made it my mission to organize the pantry!

MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED!
