21 Day Challenge: I got my computer desk back!

So I am just OVER having nothing but junk ALL over the home office...no one keeps up with the mail and it all just...

keeps.

piling.

up! 

So I am now taking part in a 21-day challenge! If you are interested, stop by Life Created she's starting the challenge up originally posted by A Bowl Full of Lemons.

Now if you are impatient like me, you can refer to the original posts for ideas and to find out whats ahead? Nothing like preparing after procrastination, I always say.....ok, so I never say that.  It doesn't even make sense, but this challenge a fun activity (trust me its fun when everyone shares their end results) for all of us to take part together in!

And guess what? Today's challenge everyone has a chance to win a prize!!! Not bad for a little bonus to add to the freshly uncluttered and clean areas!

So here is my Day 2: The Computer Desk

Yes, I'm almost ashamed to show this...I have all OVER.

I followed the Relocate/donate, Trash, Keep rule, and lets just say MOST of this stuff was relocate and donate. Pretty sad huh? What helped me plenty was the rule of throwing away papers/bills that were a month old, why keep them when all that stuff is saved on-line right?? Thanks for that tip ladies!!!






Here is the big reveal!

Look at that!!! Bet you couldn't tell I had a desktop computer behind all of that! I was able to reorganize my favorite reads, and military books and my mail center for my craftiness now sits behind that windowed compartment on the right! Its great to have it all organized once and for all!!!

An empty inbox and a WHOLE space of table to use! It is SO pleasing to the eye! :)

I'll be sharing this over at Life Created!!! Stop by!

Faves & Finds Linky Party 4!

So my favorite thing that I came across was this  Washi-tape Pencil Cup from A Creative Cookie!

I love how easy it is to make and I love that she changed the direction of the tape on each side. It's perfect for someone like me who gets tired of things too quickly, just twist around and its like a whole new style!

So that's my fave of the week and best believe, I will be heading over to Target to pick up some wash tape to make some goodies of my own!

Kitchen Drawer De-clutter!!

Okay SO you ever just get sick and tired of a cluttered kitchen drawer? I MOST DEFINITELY DID. You know the one, where you try to open it there's some spatula or wooden spoon that mysteriously lodged itself in between the end of the drawer and the front of the counter. You know what I mean....where the drawer opens MAYBE and inch or two? Just BARELY enough to get your fingers in to nudge the object out of the way so you can open the drawer again.

Well thats where I was with this one. I don't have a very big kitchen so storage is a real challenge. And more often than not, I run out of space for things. So I decided to clean it up a bit and finally pop in those liners to keep from everything sliding around when I fling the bad boy open.  These little cushiony things are great...the best part is that they come in rolls and you can customize them to fit any space needed! :) So maybe I may just make some CUTESY coasters, now that I think about it!

So I rolled it out in the drawer to get a good length.

I used scissors to get a good crease in the edges so that it made it easier to cut the right width.

Then I found my imaginary line and cut straight along the squares.

I added my baking,and cooking utensils nice and neat and now with the liner they STAY PUT!

AHHH a great feeling indeed....to see it look exactly the same when I open the drawer as I left it when I closed it!

Now on to the next one.....the eternally cluttered junk drawer!

just a bit of a clean up...i guess I'll have to do more thinking on this one.

For those little things like the rings that come with measuring cups or spoons that just get in the way....

So I didn't need this ring for my measuring cups but I kept it  for another  purpose...

potholders! After all what good are they if they are at the bottom of a drawer?

I just hooked them onto the ring..

and PRESTO!!! lol easy access!!

Yes I know I don't have a color scheme in my kitchen....I kinda need some assistance there! lol

What do you think? Any suggestions/ideas? Care to share your own posts on the same?
