The Before

and After

Ahhh...so much nicer to look at.

Cost:  $0

Recipes Organized

I just love Pinterest!
Next project was to organize all those recipes I had tucked into a binder.  I did have them in the see thru sheets but they were not organized and some of them needed to be thrown out (recipe gone bad).

So I began looking for some Inspiration at my new favorite place Pinterest!
Should I keep the binder, go to index cards and a box, or take it digital all the way?  I like the digital idea but a lot of work and I still like to have the hard copy of the recipe in front of me while I am cooking (or trying to cook?)

After looking around I decided on the binder.  With a great post from IHeart Organizing I was on my way to getting this done.

The finished product:

Folders in the front of each section to hold recipes to try.

Labels for the sections.  I just used what I had.  Some post-it labels.

 

So...I still need to get some see thru pockets like you use for pictures for those recipes that are not page size...but overall complete.

Cost = $0

Spice Organization

While off for Christmas break I have been in the organizational mood...or as Martha would say Homekeeping?. So with some inspiration from Pinterest I have organized my spices that were all over the cabinet. Yeah!

What I ended up with...ACCOMPLISHED

 Everything in one drawer and sorted alphabetically!

 

 

I used some tension rods that I had across the drawer.

Cost = $0 :)  

Guess where I went today?

1st hint:  breakfast for champions!

2nd hint:  the smell of cinnamon rolls and shopping carts that make you feel like your ice skating trying to make them roll straight.

The Mission:  Organization

To organize the place where everybody drops their backpacks, purses, shoes etc when they come in the house.  Our spot is at the back door between the kitchen and family room. I really don't have a good spot or a cute spot to put a bench.

So I decided to add some coat hooks and a basket for the shoes.

Mission accomplished!


It was a successful trip to Ikea and I also picked up dinner -- Swedish Meatballs, Mashed potatoes and gravy.
