Day #3 ~ Getting Organized Challenge (The Messy Tupperware Cabinets)

 Here is my before pic.

 And here it is again with my cute girl trying to climb in.

Here is the after pic! This drawer is a hard one to keep organized. My daughter likes to play in it while I'm cooking. It's the only drawer I let her play in since nothing can hurt her and she can't hurt them.

21 Day Challenge-Day 2-Top of Computer Desk

 This picture is kind of embarrassing! Our computer desk is pretty much where everything gets put in the process of going to where it really belongs.

Here is what the desk looks like after!

21 Day Challenge-Day 1- The Junk Drawer

 I fully intended on having this completed and posted yesterday, but something happened to prevent it. I cleaned out my drawer, and as I was wiping it down, the drawer fell off its track and the front of the drawer broke off. So, my husband grabbed the wood glue and glued it back together, but I had to wait until it was dry to finish organizing it. My junk drawer has been a place that we, especially my husband, puts anything to get it out of the way. I sorted through the stuff in the drawer and threw out a bunch! I got some plastic bins to hold the things I was keeping.

21 Days to Getting Organized!

Over at A Bowl Full of Lemons, she is having a 21 days to getting organized challenge. Like most people around New Years, I try to set a resolution to get more organized. So, I wanted to join in on this challenge! I've actually started doing some organization in my home, so if something comes up that I've already done, I may skip that day. I'm excited for this challenge, honestly! I would love to be more organized than I am. If you would like to join, too, head on over to A Bowl Full of Lemons and let her know you are joining the challenge!

Christmas Subway Art

 You know how I love subway art! Well, here is my Christmas one!

 I love the swirly tree!

 I ended up putting glitter on the snowflakes to help them stand out more

Sorry the pictures aren't great. I really need to start trying to take the pictures during the day instead of after my daughter goes to bed. :)

Christmas Wreath

I saw this wreath on Tatertots & Jello, and I really wanted to make it! I decided to go with more traditional Christmas colors, so I did the red, green, and added some silver. I started out the way it said, to hot glue the stuff onto the wire form. However, I wasn't as careful as I should have been and when I had a little of it done, I burned my finger pretty bad! The glue dripped down onto my finger. My husband decided the best thing was to put ice on it, and I sat there for 45 min. with ice on my fingers, and they were still throbbing after that. I decided that I was going to wrap the wire form in fabric. I ended up pulling all the stuff off that I had previously glued on.  I then cut some red fabric into strips and wrapped. While I wrapped, I hot glued the fabric down. Then I started the process over. It isn't perfect, but it's good enough for now. :)

Sorry I was a little MIA. My daughter was sick for a little bit, and then I got it. My husband and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on Dec. 8th! I can't believe we've been married for 3 years! He is wonderful and is pretty good about all my crafting. :)
