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.

Ok, well its been a long while since I wrote anything on here. A lot has changed in my life. I still live with my ex's mom. My brother is now off in college. Miss his smart mouth haha. Ant is growing so fast and man does he have a temper. My ex's cuz and great grandmother passed away about a week and a half ago. That was a ruff week. His uncle was in the hospital on his second liver at the time so as you can imagine the house was up in the air. Still working at the derm place. Just started scrappin again. So soon hopefully I will have some new pages to post here. Anyway everything else is the same. Still single still crazy and still waiting for life to give me a break.- Love from Maynard.
