Pinteresting Wednesday

Since I"ve been blocked from all things Pinterest at work, Pinteresting Wednesdays might come a little later than normal, but have no fear they'll still be here! ( haha nice, right ?) In honor of this absolutely gorgeous first day of February I've found a nice little collection of places I would have rather been today instead of work. Hopefully you can find sometime to enjoy somewhere like this!

Such a great little secret place to sit and think about life.

Easy peasy outdoor bench!

Now, honestly who couldn't take an amazing nap here?

Just lovely.

This is my kind of garden nook! So cozy and friendly looking.

Perfect little bench.

If we were having any kind of a normal winter I wouldn't mind going out and cozying up for this darling little snow filled picnic.

I really do you hope you're experiencing weather as fabulous as ours right now!

Organizing your life

It's the beginning of a new year and what better time to try to get things organized??

Not going to lie, organization might be one of my all time favorite thing to do. ( I know, I know... I'm probably the coolest person you've ever known, haha) I just feel so accomplished when I know where everything is and everything can run smoothly. I might be addicted....

So here are some amazing organization ideas for your home! Most of these, I feel, are very do-able. Good luck! I hope these get your organizing gears going!

Ok, so this one might not exactly be DIY-able. But if you ever come across an extra armoire this is a great use for it!

I really, really love the use of fun clip boards. Fun and functional!

This might be one of the coolest ideas I've seen in a log time. I love the cork on the lid!

I'm definitely a sucker for drawer organization.

Pretty and organized... best of both worlds!

Shower caddy as a packaging center? Brilliant! I love how you can see all the fun patterns and papers

If I had an extra drawer in my dresser this is absolutely what it would look like! Little bowls and saucers are one of my favorite things to collect from thrifting and I can only fit so many on top of my dresser. Just a little drawer of happiness.

For the classroom 

Great area for mixed media supplies or your classroom library. Love. This. Look.

One word.... Genius!

Using a drawer and hanging folders to organize construction paper.

I also love, love, love this idea. Especially for individual tables. I bet you could even paint thrifted cupcake tins with fun colors! The clear cups makes it easy to see what all is in them.

Happy organizing!

Pinteresting Wednesday- New Years Eve

I am quite obsessed with sequins lately. I always want to buy sequined filled clothing, but I never have any reason to wear them. ( I would look quite over dressed in the office and honestly I don't really want to waste a magnificent outfit up here!) So, for this New Years Eve I will be on the look out for something wonderfully shiny! Here are a few ideas.

Hate the socks, love the flower!

Just absolutely darling.

Perfection.

Absolute love!

Even though I may look like a baton twirler in these, I don't think I would mind... so cute!

You can still be quite fancy even if you don't feel like going all out in sparkles

So much sparkly goodness. I hope you find just what you want for your special night!

I am so excited for New Years Eve this year. For one, it's Steven's birthday and it's our first one as Mr. and Mrs! I just can't wait to celebrate this special night with my absolute best friend in the whole world! Talk about blessed. But more on our New Years Eve shennanigans later!

Pinteresting Wednesday- DIY Christmas Trees

These are a super easy way to add a special center piece to your table or just to add a little bit of Christmas to any corner of your house that hasn't been taken over yet! You can buy styrofoam pyramids at your local craft store anywhere from $2.00-$8.00 and use little bits and pieces of things you have around the house! I encourage you to be as creative as you can, fancy or fun!

Linen and lace- so classy

Covered in sparkles and put on candle holders!

Here are some other super fun Christmas crafts for you to try out!

I'm trying to make this Christmas as cheap and personal as possible. Needless to say there are lots of free/homemade decorations and packaging in our house!

Happy decorating!

Pinteresting Wednesday- That's a Wrap!

Finding creative ways to wrap gifts is one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season! I love, love, love wrapping with things I already have around the house because, c'mon... it's just going to get ripped open and thrown away! There are plenty of easy ways to make the gifts under your tree look just as pretty for basically free instead of spending extra holiday cash on wrapping paper. That's an extra $20-$30 bucks that could fill a stocking!

Here are some of my absolute favorites. Now, I know that in reality our wrapping jobs may not come out exactly like these pictures, but I'm positive they're still going to look great! Hopefully all of my Christmas shopping will be done this weekend and I can share with you my wrapping shenanigans! Enjoy!
