Home/Life Organizer!

Can I just tell you, that I am one of those people who likes things her way?

Who knew, right?

When it comes to planners, it is a hundred times worse. I need certain things that normal planners just don't have. Like color, cuteness, space, and some serious over-organizing materials. 

When I was going through my favorite blogger's sites, I found printables.

Then it occurred to me, 

WHY, OH WHY, am I spending money on planners I am just not overly happy with? Why do I spend every single year searching for some so-so, I'll buy it if I can't find anything cuter, organizer for my life?

No more.

No more settling, no more ugly, no more wasted time. 

Meet, lovely 2013... & very likely, the rest of my life.

Seriously, pretty cover!

Pretty inspiration! 

All I needed were pens, note pads, page protectors, and a beautiful binder.

I got some wonderful printables from

Thirty-One Choices... literally.

A friend of mine just recently became a Thirty-One Consultant and since she signed up, we've been thinking of so many organizing projects we could do to sort her new stuff. 

Yesterday, we legitimately walked around Wal-Mart for at least an hour and a half trying to figure out how we were going to display her swatches, note cards, and stationary.

We thought of binders and plastic page protectors with separate slots for each swatch, we thought of making a scrapbook out of them, and we even searched around in the container section to see what we could find there. Nothing seemed good enough. After going through countless ideas, countless aisles, and putting a TON of stuff where it definitely didn't belong, then, found a box. 

I know, a box doesn't sound like an Earth-shattering discovery, but, it definitely was. 

This, is where the organization just took off. 

I grabbed the box, some card stock, some tabs, and some double-stick tape.

Who knew that a huge bundle of swatches and other items could end up so pretty and organized!

The result:

How did we get to that?

 Grabbed the swatches, grabbed the card stock, scissors, and the paper cutter.

Cut the circular buttons out and trimmed the sides then cut the card stock in half.

This is what we ended up with after cutting out the circles:

A ring of baby swatches, or in my language, a future craft for her parties!

 We stuck the swatches with double sided tape to the card stock and put a tab on the tops based by collection: These are the Woodblock Floral and a bit of the Party Punch Collections.

We filed those in and put in these stickers and stationary,

& we ended up with this!

For the future, behind the swatches, wait the leftovers and some more items, 

ready for us to make party decorations!

CAN NOT WAIT!
