thinking of changing the pace

Ok so Ive been toying around with the idea of changing this blog to something alittle different. I have been searching the sites out there for budget friendly ideas. You know for organizing and actual scrap goodies. I, being a single mom need to find cheap and easy to use items. So from this point on I will be listing ideas and finds that are out there on the web or ones that I have come up with...

Here is some that I currently have:

SPICE RACKS REPORPOSED

The wooden spice rack was purchased at a flea marked for $1.00. It now holds my prima flowers and some other random yet small embellishements. The silver spice rack was purchased at a yard sale for $.50. It hold some small emellishments. They include beads, confetti, and small foam shapes.

YARD SALE FINDS

This is a pen holder that you find in the craft and paper stores. I found this at a end of the day rumage sale. I am a proud member of freecycle and on occasion they send emails for end of day "sales". These "sales" are basically come get whats left for free. So anyway this was a free item.

MAKE IT YOURSELF

This is a pringles can painted and holes cut in it to hold my Stickles. Let me tell you Im an addict. I think I may need a second one to hold all the other stickles Ive been collecting.

This is a carry all that I made from Plastic Canvas. It was from a baby organizer pattern.

And last for this post finally is the paper holders made from USPS mailers. I just cut them at an angle and painted them. You can make tab dividers by using some white cardstock. I use the ones that come in the page protectors since I have so many. You can either purchase tabs from the store or you can cut them out of scraps of paper.

Hope some of you enjoyed these organizers that I have made work in my space. More later this week. I will try to get some other ideas sites as well.
