Tip Thursday-Battery Organization

April 10, 2015 By Callie Leave a Comment

I have been cleaning and purging this house since January 1st! I am happy to announce I am almost done! I have one closet, the garage-ugh and the filing cabinet eek! Just so you know our filing cabinet is so totally 1991-it’s sad. Oh and someone in this house-definitely not me has this thing about keeping receipts for years and years. I am purging and shredding and well it’s taking forever.

In the meantime I found this complete;y awesome way to store batteries. Seems like I have a ton of batteries now that we have a toddler. This was so easy. I snagged the box-a fishing lure box at a garage sale for $2! Ahhhh I love garage sales.

Happy storing/organizing!

Organizing this Mess-Ribbon Storage

June 19, 2014 By Callie Leave a Comment

So I mentioned earlier how I collect things….washi tape,movies, department 56 houses, Matilda Jane clothing-mind you I don’t wear it but Ro does, and I guess you can add ribbon to that list.

Don’t you just love the look of new ribbon? It’s so beautiful and so full of possibilities. So I think on my husband’s last count he said I had a bazillion spools of ribbon. I bought some more this week! I had been having a really difficult time figuring out how to store my ribbon. At first I just loaded them in a drawer but after awhile it just got messy and let’s face it do you know how many drawers I would need? Plus if  you stack the spools on top of each other, then you can’t see anything right?

Then I bought ribbon spool holder boxes at my beloved Hobby Lobby. How many you ask 15-that’s right 15 and I still had some in drawers. The downside of the boxes is that it’s pretty difficult to spool the ribbons on them and then thread your ribbon through the tiny slit to access your ribbon. Want to add a new spool? You’d have to take all the others out and respool them-ugh!!!! So I’d buy new ribbon and never put anymore in the boxes. Plus those boxes take up a lot of space. So I found a solution at Office Max!!!!

They had these cute little organizer boxes that snap on the ends-I told you I had a lot!(There’s another on in the closet!) The boxes were so great and take up so much less space! I’m also able to see exactly what I have and store multiple spools in each box. I wrapped each spool of ribbon around index cards which I label with color and size and then secure with a straight pin.

Guess who else has a ribbon obsession? Ro! What’s she wearing? Matilda Jane Judy and Ethel top and Red Rover Bennys.

Do you have a ribbon obsession? How do you store them?

Organizing this Mess

June 5, 2014 By Callie Leave a Comment

Do you have a ton of stuff and just not enough space? I feel like as time goes by more things come in then go out. Over the past year I’ve been purging and organizing our house. I have things-lots of things. My husband says I’m collector, whatever that means 🙂 Like cupcake holders…that’s right I collect and use (ahem) loads of cupcake holders. I really want things to be easily stored. I want them to be pretty.I want to remember I have them so I can actually use them. BTW I’m cheap-have I mentioned that? I like love garage sales too much! I mean you can buy something for 2 dollars and if it doesn’t work for you resell or donate! Here are my cupcake holders..

See those glass jars…$1 garage sale!!!!! I’m a jar collector too! See how I can see everything I have? It’s pretty and organized-love!

Oh and here’s another tip. I bake a lot. I love my mixer but I have a love/hate relationship with my attachments. They just don’t seem to fit in the drawer. But lookie lookie-

Hung on the inside of a cabinet. Unused space! How do you stay organized and cute?
