Revolving Cube Organizer

My revolving cube was my first part of my cube system! I bought it before I even decided to go "all out" and re-organize everything. I really love the cube, because there is just so much you can do with it! In this shot to the left, you can see that there are four smaller shelves, and two larger ones. I use the four smaller ones to hold small squares of paper. Most are 3x3" that I got from matdi123's scrapbooking destash packs! :-) Then I have a few mini pads
<----------------- from the Michael's $1 bin. (They were actually only $.40 because everything was 60% off!) In the first lager one, I have a mini stapler, and a mini hole punch. In the bottom one, I have all sorts of small adhesives including little 3-D squares, tape, scrapbooking tear tape, deco tape, and a glue pen. I don't keep all my adhesives there, because they don't all fit. Then, in the top, it has an area (came with a dowel) that is supposed to be used for ribbon. But it only holds 4-5 spools, so it was quite useless to me! Instead, I took out the dowel and put all my stamps in there. I don't have lots of big stamps, so it fits them all. :-) Finally, it has a removable mesh drawer/compartment. In there, I just throw all of my chipboard.

I got my cube for just $15, because it was on clearance! :-)

Gift Guide...MINI!

Embelishment Binder

Hi everyone! I have something to share with you all! I recently made a quick trip to my local Five Below store, and they had a bunch of binders there. I picked up a Mead Cush Cover with Accordion Folder for $5. I headed to my dollar store, and picked up those trading card binder pocket protectors. These work really well to store embellishments! Just slip them in the pocket, and you're all good! My store had 90 pages worth of slots for a dollar, and I picked up three! For some things, they don't fit, or fall out, so I have a whole drawer of those things. Then, for most of my rub ons and sheets of stickers, I punch a whole or two and just slip them into the binder rings. If you use this method, please email me and let me know how you liked it!



Hasta Manana!

Last Words for Today...

Okay, sorry for like three posts today! I guess it's better than nothing! ;-) Anyway, I just realized that I haven't posted really anything lately about organizing! OOOPSSS! I'm so very sorry! I am going to try my absolute hardest to tidy up my projects and take some pictures for you! I have done quite a bit though! :-)

In regards to our contest, to hopefully get more entries, I am going to offer a month of your button being in my sidebar here. If you don't already have a button, I will design that as well. :-) Please do not be embarrassed to enter! I know it can be a little hard posting pictures of something that you really don't think is that great, but check out my first post! Boy, that took a lot of nerve! lol. Anyway, please remember weither your space is elaborate, huge, or a corner like mine, we would all love to see it! I think what a lot of us don't realize is that just because we all have crafting rooms/spaces, doesn't mean they're huge, or elaborate! Take me for example, mine in the size of a shoebox! But if you make the most of your space, it can be pretty darn great! So, push yourself to send me a picture or two of your room! What does it hurt?



Good night ladies!

Dancing In the Rain!

Today, I heard a great saying, and just had to share it! I think this has become my favorite! It almost made me teary when I heard it. Here it is...
"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain..."
I always used to love to dance in the rain when I was little, but being the typical mom, she would call to me "Get in here, and wait until the rain passes! I don't need you getting sick!" That is probably why I teared a bit when I heard it. I wish I could go back to when I was six or so and just spin in the rain endlessly!


AHHHH...the good ol' days!



One last thought! PLEASE comment on what I should write about next! I want to hear what YOU want me to write about! It can really be anything! :-)


Ciao!

The Secret is in the Sauce!

Hey everyone! So I see my little contest is not doing too well! :-( I know it's my own fault though! However, I have a discovery for you all! I was browsing another blog, The Shopping Kiwi, and came across this little button on her blog, and I clicked on it. It brought me to a neat little site called "The Secret is in the Sauce", or SITS. It's a community of women, who support each other's blogs through comments! If you have a blog, you have gotta check out SITS! It is super easy to get started, and maybe one day you and I can both be featured and get 100 comments! Hey, a girl can dream right! ;) Like I said, I have been absolutely terrible, but my schedule is starting to get back on track, so hopefully I will be blogging at least once a day now! *crosses fingers*
Ciao Ladies!
