How To Make A Storage Box

Hey Y'all!!
I'm a day late but here is my D.I.Y. Project.
First I must apologize for my blurry pictures.  My battery was running low.

I pinch pennies.  

And I have been wanting some storage boxes to get my Linen Closet...

not just organized but pretty and fashionable too.  

But my budget just won't allow me to go out and buy any.  

I asked my daughter Allie to save me a diaper box from one our littles 

so I could try to cover it and turn it into a storage box.

How To Speed Clean Your Kitchen ~ Day 12 ~ Clean & Organize Your Life & Home

Hey there!
So we've got our supplies ready!

And we know our 10 steps!
I had planned to show you a real cleaning apron until I got it and really LOOKED at it!!!!
My Cleaning Apron is so gross!!!!  I'm so embarrassed for you to see it.  So I went looking for one online.
I visited a friend Karen @ karenehman.com  and she had an adorable apron made by Sheri who has an Etsy shop with some really cute items. Give her store a look see.  This is one of her cleaning aprons. Isn't it adorable?  I only have one thing that needs to be changed and that is there are no little pockets to hold the toothbrush or scrapers.  Other than that it is ready to help me clean the Kitchen.

~ Day 10 ~ 4 Ways To Become More Orgainzed

I'm usually pretty neat. But before I started this series on Organization, I took a look around and realized there's a big difference between being neat and being organized.

Being neat and tidy means that my space has the potential of becoming messy again!
Organized means "Everything has a place and Everything is in Its place!
I live in a very small home. And becoming organized wasn't easy and it still has its moments!

Trust me I still have so much stuff and finding a place for it all hasn't been an easy task. I have had many garage sales and tossed and given so much stuff away.

Why do we hold onto stuff? I'm not really sure I have an answer for that. Do you?

Anyway today I want to tell you 4 things that have helped me become more organized. I know I have shown you before Organized Home, but they have a wealth of papers you can print.

~ Day 9 ~ 6 Ways To Get Your Kids Organized

Organized was the last thing I was as a child. 

{The Land of Nod}

My Daddy said my room had the best carpet in the whole house....Hum wonder why? 

My Mom makes fun of me now about how when I was little.  She would tell me to go clean my room so we could get up in the morning and go to town. 
I would go into my room and start cleaning, or to hear her tell it, I would start shoving things under my bed and into my closet. I would shove so much junk into my closet that it almost wouldn't close. Then the rest of the stuff, I would tidy up into stacks all around the edges of my room.  Does any of this sound familiar? Are your kids organizationally challenged? I sure was. Unfortunately I learned what I saw.  Do your kiddos see you organized? If you and your child are having a hard time getting everything cleaned and keeping it that way then this is for you.

~ Day 4 ~ Organizing The Master Bedroom #2

Hey I'm glad you're back!
It's a new day and you are making super progress on the Master Bedroom in  Day 4 of getting our Life & Home Cleaned & Organized.

Today, I still want you to focus on the Master Bedroom. While you're busy de-cluttering and purging I want you to envision creative ways you can get all your clothes and things in your room organized.

I'm going to show you pictures that I've found, of different ways that you can do to take it to the next level; take it from clean to wow!

You may be in the same "boat" as I am and you just can't go out and buy all the cute little boxes and bags and crates to put all your loose things in. Or maybe you can. It doesn't matter because there are ways, with a little creativity and time you can make just plain boxes and containers look like you spent a bunch of $$ but maybe you didn't spend a few ¢'s. 

So sit back for just a few minutes. Grab another cup of coffee and enjoy looking at the different ideas I've found to contain all our stuff in our closet areas. Some you may like and others you may thing REALLY! 
God made each of us different so 1 thing isn't for all! 
Have a wonderful day and keep up the great work!
