Some storage ideas...!

The weather is warming up again which makes me want to tidy up...all over my house.  Recently I installed shelves on the inside of my pantry door for my spices,
I am feeling so clever.  Here are a few idea that look promising.

 What a novel idea from Casa Sugar, the shoes are hanging on crown moulding and also become artwork on the walls.

Here's a super cute ribbon storage made from aluminum rain gutters from Martha Stewart.

Here at Menns 4 Moms she makes her own chalkboard labels and uses a chalk pen to write with, who knew!

If you are like me you have an uncontrollable collection of cup cake liners, 

here's a fab way to tame the beast. Check out Tidy Mom.

Best of all I found this chart at Design Finch to organize your weekly menus!  Check!

My to do list of crafts...

First of all, thank you Kalle for showing me this batik idea. 

We're going to make homemade t-shirts with our Young Women using this easy technique and kids glue.  Have a peek here to see how to do it.

I'm going to make a few of these sun jars for girls camp in June.

I've seen lots online, but I think I'll try using vinyl lettering to personalize mine (and use my new Silhouette Cameo, so excited!).

What will I do with pom poms, who knows but I remember making them as a child,

  this version looks a whole lot easier!  Follow her tutorial here.

This is a great idea for a little someone, they're magnetic too!

Go here to see her tutorial and here to download the doll and clothes.

Mmmmm, cake

This cake is the next thing on my list to make. 

Doesn't it look delicious!  You can find the recipe at Urban Fruits, it calls for Maltesers 

(those are the lovely round chocolates on the top of the cake) 

which aren't to be confused with Whoppers.  

You can get Maltesers at World Market, they're malted milk flavored balls covered in REAL milk chocolate.

I have eaten my way through an extra 5 pounds of holiday cheer (including a bag of Maltesers), do you know that 3500 calories make one pound...just sayin'.  

So maybe I'll be making this cake and all I'll get to do is look at it!

A christmas pig

Christmas is over and the company is gone, the house is clean and now I'm lonely! 

My blog needs attention and I thought I would sit down today and give it some.  

I had many pictures on my phone to show you but there was a phone problem this week and I lost them ALL!  

I would like to thank my dear sister for saving all she could, but most of all for saving my sanity when it came to working my phone.

So this is what you get,
a picture of Delaney and her friend feeding a pig for Ag Science class.

Happy New Year to you all!
