behind closed doors
January 19, 2012

I have been doing a lot of cleaning, re-organizing and re-decorating this month. I typically have a very neat and organized home {I’m a perfectionist when it comes to pillows and bedding}, however that is not the case behind closed doors and drawers {closets, cabinets and dressers that is }. I tend to ignore the mess I can’t see. I have rather large doors and a bookshelf that fits perfectly behind one {I live in a one bedroom, I need all the storage space I can get}. This shelf was getting out of control, I finally had to do something about it. Inspired by a few after Christmas craft sale purchases, from my mom.

to date
December 20, 2011

It’s December 20th which means this years calendar is coming to an end. If you saw my office you would find 3 calendars on display {yes I’m crazy, but I don’t write on them all}. Not to mention the planner I carry in my purse as well {so that makes 4}. The end of Decemeber I always look forward to getting new calendars, most come as Christmas gifts. Below are some of my top picks to start 2012! {need last minute gifts? A calendar is a great one!}

Dottie Wall Calendar $3.50

friday finds {stamped}
August 19, 2011

I came across these precious stamps {from eat | pray | create} and they are just the perfect thing to keep on hand. You can use them on notes, party favors, invitations, fabric… come to think of it pretty much anything! And the price of the stamps is hard to beat, for such a personalized touch! Best part you can always change up the look with different color ink.
