Sick

I have been sick going on three weeks now.  I will feel better for may be 3 days and get super sick again.  Eriks has been sick on and off too.  Hopefully in the next couple of days I will be able to get into the doctor and see what is up with me.  But I just wanted to let you know that I am still here.  I have several posts in the works; Snoop Dogg Concert, Our trip to Vegas for our anniversary, my new church and Super Bowl.  So yeah.  I will try to get those up within the next week or so.

21 Day Challenge

I don't have anything else left to organize.  My apartment is so small and I have organized everything possible.  So... my 21 Day Challenge turned into a 16 Day Challenge.  But, that is okay because my house is SUPER organized!  I do have to say that I LOVE IT!  I am so happy that A Bowl Full of Lemons put a fire under my butt to finally get my house organized!  Thank you Toni.

Day 17 of the 21 Day Challenge

Day 17 of A Bowl Full of Lemons 21 Days to Getting Organized Challenge was to organize our mail area.  Um... I really don't have a mail area or a place to have a mail area.  I go through and organize all of our mail as soon as it comes every day.  So instead of the mail, I decided to organize all of my paperwork.  I keep my paperwork with all of my craft stuff because that is sort of my area of the house.  Here is the messy before picture:

This project took about 2 hours.  I organized the two brown holders (craft papers), the clear and pink paper holder (official and professional paperwork) and the white binder (craft and sewing tutorials and ideas).  After I organized everything I put it all back on the shelf.  You cannot really tell all that much, but it is so much better!

Day 16 of the 21 Day Challenge

Day 16 of A Bowl Full of Lemons 21 Days to Getting Organized Challenge was to organize the fridge.  Well in our house, it is only Eriks and I.  We have a small fridge to begin with, and in our fridge we don't have much to organize.  The top shelf is for drinks, the middle shelf is for left overs, the door is for condiments and the bottom shelf is for everything else.  Not too complicated with our tiny fridge.  So instead, I decided to finally organize the drawers in my desk.  They are practically crafting junk drawers.  I never know where anything is and I just stuff things in drawers where they can fit.  Well not anymore!  This is the last time you will see these drawers looking like this:

After a whole hour of sorting and organizing, my drawers now look like this:

After a little organizing, I found that I actually have so much more room than I thought I had!

Day 15 of the 21 Day Challenge

Day 15's challenge for a Bowl Full of Lemons 21 Days to Getting Organized Challenge is Medicines.  Eriks and I have several prescription medications that we take everyday.  Most of the time the medicine is strung all over the house.  Not so great I know, but hay we don't have kids so it is not that big of a deal.  So... today I think I need to find a permanent spot for them all to go!

I grabbed this little blue container, gathered all of the pills, 

put them in the blue container and vuala!  

 All of our pills are now corralled!  What an easy Challenge!

Day 14 of the 21 Day Challenge

Today's Challenge from A Bowl Full of Lemons 21 Days to Getting Organized Challenge was to organize under the bathroom sink.  I organized under the bathroom sink in December and have done a fantastic job (if I do say so myself) to keep it clean and organized.  So I decided to take this time to do a project that I have been wanting to do for a while now.  It is not necessarily "organizing", but I think you all will forgive me.  I Modpoged my desk drawers.

I got this desk back in Idaho.  Eriks and I were on a walk one night and saw this sitting on the sidewalk with a FOR SALE sign on it.  It was only $20!  I needed a sewing desk very badly and we thought this would be perfect.  So, we put $20 in their mail box and took it home.  It then make the long journey from Idaho to California where I am still in love with it.

The only problem about my poor little desk is that it is actually a child's desk.  The little girl who owned this before me left a lot of love on it.  One of the problems is that it had all of this uck on the drawers that I couldn't get off.

So... I Modpoged them! Problem solved! I loved the way they turned out! So cute.  What do you think?



Now all I have to do is to repaint the rest of the table and put contact paper in all of the drawers. Ahhh another day maybe!

Day 13 of the 21 Day Challenge

Day 13 of A Bowl Full of Lemons 21 Days to Getting Organized Challenge is to organize your medicine cabinet.

Before Pictures:

I semi organized my medicine cabinet a while ago, but I now think that what would really help me out is LABELS!  While I was at work, I made labels for everything in our medicine cabinet.  Now everything has a place! I think the labels turned out so cute!  I love them!
My new labels will help so much, especially when it comes to the man in the house knowing where I want everything to go :)
