Sunday Blog Love

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. I spent yesterday cleaning and organizing my scrapbook room and working on my toilet paper mini album.

 I've also been working with Emily from Blogaholic Designs to update my blog.

It's not very expensive to have your blog done by someone who knows what they're doing.

(I am not computer savvy by any means - Emily can confirm this!)

Lots of projects with nothing completed yet..

But my Sunday Blog Love this week goes to one picture that has inspired me all week...

Kristi and Jordan rom Kojo Designs have a fantastic blog. 

This picture had me a hello, (chessy, huh?)

This one picture has inspired me all week and I'll be posting my room redo later this week.

Michaels is selling Cricut cartridges for $9.99 each and we'll be there when the store opens.

Please stop over to Kojo Designs and see what inspires you.

Spice Jar Organization

This is a repost of how I organized my spice jars and I'm happy to say after four months, this cabinet is still organized.

One day, while innocently reading the MANY blogs that I do, I came across a blog about Organizing Your Pantry and I was instantly drawn to the cute spice containers and the chalkboard paint.

Here's the way my spices looked before..typical different containers, all packed in. To pull out one meant most of them would need to come out to find the one I needed...

 I purchased 6 sets of spice containers from eBay and got busy.

When I set them on the counter, I'm thinking that I've over estimated the amount that I need - but I used every one and acutally need more!

I decided against the chalkboard paint, worried that the name might get smudged off and then what? So I searched online for free spice labels and loved these Martha Stewart labels.

One I had all the labels made, cut out and taped on..it was really easy to pour the spices in and start organizing.

Remember these spice containers?

I've now separated the spices in the cupboard and put baking spices on the second shelf...

And the cooking spices that we use more often on the bottom shelf.

Sadly, the other side of each shelf still needs to be worked on...

And here's my other side, still needing help.....

On the top shelf I have this spice container setup that I found at Goodwill awhile back and poured all my colored sprinkles in and make my own sand art...

But I'm in love with my new spice containers.......

Have a great weekend!

What Motivates You?

I'm almost to 300 followers and I've never had a giveway.

So once I'm there, I'll have a giveway...

I've started on a few projects but never seem to be able to complete anything.

I'm just not motivated to do much of anything.

It's too cold to spray paint and it's too cold to do much outside and it's dark going to work and it's dark coming home from work.

One of my uncompleted projects is to finishorganizing my office/scrapbook room...

Things are starting to pile up...
These are my before pictures...I still have stuff to do but it's a lot better than it was.

I'm hoping to finisht it tomorrow night...

I went to Michaels today and got some great stuff, courtesy of a giftcard I got from my son.

three Sizzix dies...

Some pretty, glitzy, shiny valentine embellishments...

small pad of Valentine scrapook paper and more blig.

and I have 4 empty toilet paper rolls that I'll be making a

Valentine mini album.

Shopping is my motivator, what motivates you?
