Enjoy The Little Things Dollar Download in my etsy shop!

New dollar download in my shop this morning! 

We recently just got a rescue and I have a 10 week old puppy already. 

When my husband left for work at 2:30am (he's a farmer) the pups decided to play, chew, growl, choke on whatever they were trying to chew and I realized I was not going back to sleep.

So I put on a fresh pot of coffee and started creating! :) Which I love to do! 

And if you're curious about the little stinker that kept me up because of her chewing and gagging (I was trying to sleep, and she got ahold of an old charger wire).... This would be her....

Like I said before, I really LOVE summer and didn't want to admit that it's over, but when I got in the truck the other morning and had to use my wipers to remove the frost, I realized it's inevitable and it's here!

Have to tell you about BerryBleu!!!

Well, my writing skills aren't as good or played with as much as my crafting skills, but let's see if I can do this. I wanted to tell you about a great blog called Berry71Bleu. First off, her name is Marivic and she has an up and coming blog that is filled with wonderful ideas! She has guest designers {{clears throat}}- I'm one of them, for July. What's really nice about her blog besides all the eye candy, is the fact that there are alot of things that you can do as they come from well known and reputable companies. It's putting them together that's the hard part & she's got that. Besides her wonderful 3 dimensional tags that are all her own! My point being, there's something for everyone, from the novice paper player to the expert paper crafter, you will not leave her blog without an idea. So go check her out HERE and let her know that I sent ya!

More Organizing Ideas....

Are your scrapbook and crafting supplies crazily everywhere (like mine)? Well, I've been doing my homework and I've found some more solutions!

- Use a lazy susan on your table to put your little containers. You can spin it to find what you need

- Keep all your little plastic containers from cream cheese, cottage cheese, etc. to store items

- Shoe boxes for all sorts of things!

- Cut a hanger, add your ribbon on, and then retape it.

- Sort ribbons by color in ziploc baggies and keep in a rubbermaid

- Under the bed storage containers. These would be better for things that you don't use alot but can't part with.

- Keep your eye out for microwave carts, bookshelves and more at yard sales. Paint, decorate, etc to match your decor. Then go to the dollar store and find little buckets. You may even be able to paint some to make everything coordinate.

- If the items on your shelves cannot be displayed "sweetly" nomatter how hard you try, install a roller shade. That way you can pull it down to hide, and simply lift it up when you need to. HINT: You can even stencil it if you really wanna get fancy! :)

Organizing Craft Supplies

Use a SPINNING SPICE RACK to hold small items such as brads, eyelets, rhinestones and more.

TACKLE BOXES: At Walmart you can find really cheap tackle boxes. These are great and open up to where it is easy to find anything.

SHOE CADDY: An over the door shoe caddy. These are nice because you can get clear ones and see everything you have. You can also find these at the dollar store.

PENS AND PENCILS: With pens and pencils, you're going to want to keep these close. Old mugs, planters and such things work great.

CLEAR STAMPS: I buy baseball card sheets. The kind that are 8 x 11 and go into the binder and have 9 pockets. I use these to keep my clear acrylic stamps on. The studio G stamps fit perfectly. If you have larger sheets (which I do) you simply cut them down to fit. Keep the acrylic stamps on the clear sheets that they were on when they were bought. This is what makes them slide easily in and out of the pockets.

STENCILS: I keep all my stencils in binders. If they don't have holes punched in them already, take your hole puncher and make them. If you can't, then slip them in a page protector and add that to your album.

BEADS: I put all my beads in three-drawer desktop organizers. I separate by shape and then by color. I do the same with findings, cords, hardware and plastic bags and business cards, etc. It makes designing a new piece so easy and needed supplies quickly accessed.

BABY FOOD JARS: Use baby food jars to store small items.

STICKERS: Use a file system for your stickers. Sort by Alpha, Girl, Boy, Colors, Shapes..... ANY way that you feel comfortable with finding your items. Keeping Alpha's together is a main recomendation though :)

Use PHOTO ALBUMS to store stickers. It makes it easy to flip through and look for a sticker that you may need.

YARN: Store your skeins of yarn in 2 liter soda bottles. Cut the bottom off, thread the yarn through the top, and tape the bottle back together. No more tangled yarn!

BABY WIPE CONTAINER: Use Baby Wipe Containers and small containers like crystal light, etc. to hold things

START A BUTTON JAR: New garments often have an extra button and is often in a tiny plastic bag attached somewhere to the garment. Instead of discarding the extra button, place it in a jar with a lid and start your own button jar.

FABRIC: Use the inner cardboard liners from bolts of fabrics to store your fabric. Stores will give them to you if you ask. Cut them in half and use them to wrap individual yardages around and store, upright, in those legal-sized cardboard boxes you get from office supply stores. You have only to glance at the top of the box to see what fabric you have in storage and each piece of fabric is the same size and standing straight up in the box.

Revamp a BAKER'S RACK for organizing your supplies 

I will be updating the list frequently on my facebook page too!
