Trash to treasure :)

Well I am so excited!  I got my first project done and out the way.  I showed you these pictures yesterday:

Found on Pinterest and I fell in love!

My previous coat closet door.

So like I told you the other day i found that piece on the side of the road.  I worked on it yesterday and here is the final result:

Scrapbook supplies!

Don't you love it!

To help me organize so things didn't fall straight through those slits I used these cute boxes I got at a garage sale one day.  Super cheap and came in super handy.  When i bought them forever ago I knew they would come in handy someday lol.  I probably shouldn't buy stuff that "will probably come in handy someday" but I did.  It may not be absolutely perfect but I am in love with it.  In my previous "organized" pink pocket thingy I have everything from Lysol to photo paper, extra shoe strings, sunscreen, and so much other crap.  Now I am going to get my medicine organized.  Those of you who know me know it is going to be a daunting task considering how much medicine I take just on a daily basis and not even counting the "as needed" medication like cough medicine, ibprofen, and whatever else there is.  So, wish me luck and keep smiling!

Yay for garbage day!

I skipped a day!  Already!  Not a good sign.  Well, I will try my best to not do it again.  I have a little insomnia problem that comes around every now and then and instead of getting up and doing stuff like I could (and used to) I tossed and turned accomplishing nothing.  Ever since my daughter started school I stopped doing stuff during my insomnia because on some weird "Shannon" planet that means I will not wake up in the morning when I need to.  The difference between staying in bed and not staying in bed? Absolutely nothing except my house will be slightly cleaner if I get out of bed and do stuff.  I don't make sense so let's move on.

I found this on the side of the road the other day.  It may not look like much now but Madisyn and I have big plans for this piece.

It's an old sliding closet door :)

So that was one of my surprises that I talked about the other day.  Another one I was so psyched about.  Why, you may ask.  On Pinterest (my new favorite site) I saw this photo on Saturday:

I used to have something like this for my kitchen.  At some point during my double digit moves it didn't make it.  So just imagine how excited I was when I found this on the side of the road with the picture above:

See how cool is this!  Not a scratch on it!

So I can't wait to show you how this goes!  Yay!  I did get some organizing accomplished but I didn't finish it in time.  I have to finish by 2p.m because after I pick up my daughter from school we pretty much go straight to the library until about 8, eat dinner, do dishes and crash lately.  So pictures will be up later.  

Pray that I manage to finish some things on my list tomorrow and get to show you some awesome accomplishments!  Until

Today was slightly less productive then I had anticipated.  I did a few things that I will show you tomorrow once I can take pictures of it PLUS I found something that I thought was absolutely amazing!  I wish I could say I organized the day away but I didn't.  I did donate some bags of clothes and leftover food containers from when I had surgery to these kids having a garage sale in our apartment complex.  So I purged some, got next to nothing organized, but am excited for tomorrow and the ideas I got today!  Wish me luck in what tomorrow will bring, and good luck to you too!

My Bright Idea

Day one will start February 12, 2012.  Today after going through a multitude of stuff and trying to organize I took a cue from the blogger's in blog world and thought, "Hey, maybe if I blog about what I do everyday that will make me actually get stuff accomplished!"  So here's to hoping!  Each day I will tackle a task or two of some sort.  Whether I am organizing my life, my house, my car, your car, well, something.  As much as I know you will absolutely adore every word I write I will also take pictures so you can have more reason's for the adoration you will undeniably feel for this blog.  The more I work on the blog the more cool stuff I will put on it, of course.  I know my friends will follow my blog; if only just to see if I actually do accomplish anything, but to whoever my happen upon this dime in the dozens, I hope you like it!
