Get Organized: Recycled Containers

Hi everyone!
Today, I'm using two different materials that you probably have.  What are they?  Plastic cups and a cereal box.  I'm organizing pattern paper stacks and re-doing my ribbon scraps.  Yup, I'm re-doing the other ribbon tutorial too.  Let's start with the cups.  My old version didn't work very well because it marks from wrapping it around and the ribbon kept falling off.  But, by coloring these cups and throwing them in there, they stayed in there color groups but didn't get any wrinkles.  

My second idea is with the cardboard box.  I've seen this all over the internet and Pinterest so I decided to make one of my own.  It's basically a magazine holder made out of a cereal box used for holding pattern paper stacks.  It's pretty easy because all you have to do is cut diagonally across the box and paint it.

Banana Bites Recipe

Hi everyone!
I'm finally doing another recipe!  Yay!  
Today, I've got a super easy one with only three ingredients that's really yummy.  Don't worry I'll still be doing my Get Organized series but I'm currently taking a little break. (aka:leaving my craft room a mess and only barely tidying it when I absolutely have to)  Comment if you want to see another recipe or share your own ideas.  See you on Friday!

Ingredients:  a banana (1 banana made about eight of these), toothpicks, nutella (or peanut butter), and honey.
Step 1: Slice the banana into about 1/4 in. slices
Step 2: Spread honey on half of the bananas and nutella on the other half
Step 3: Squish them together and add a toothpick

Get Organized: Ribbon Re-do

Hi everyone!
As you probably know, I made a post on how I organized my ribbon spools.  But the rubber band technique just wasn't working.  So, I bring you my re-do of how I now keep my ribbon spools from unraveling.  I got this idea from one of Connie Stewart's 2 minute tip videos. Check it out here. 
Well, all you need for this is a pair of scissors.  Simply cut slits into your roll and slide your end of ribbon into the slit.  I know it isn't as pretty but it work much better.  Make sure to watch Connie's video for more detail and I hope to see you all again on Friday!

Get Organized: Ribbon Scraps

Hello Everyone!
A few weeks ago I showed you how I organized my ribbons spools.  But if you are like me, you have a bunch of extra ribbons stuffed into a bin.  Well, today, I'm showing you a way to keep them nice and neat!  I sorted the ribbons by color and then wrapped the ribbons around index cards in the same color and taped the ends down.  If you enjoyed comment, and I'll see on you on Friday!

Get Organized: Stamps and Ink Pads

Hello Everyone!
Today, I'm sharing with you how I organized my stamps and ink pads.  Sadly, this isn't a DIY but I have a lot of DIY storage coming up so stay with me!  I have more wood block stamps then clear stamps, so I placed all of my clear stamps in a bag to avoid them collecting dust and dirt.  As for all my rubber stamps, I've simply placed them in a large drawer for easy access.  I don't have very many ink pads either so I stashed them away in a little space maker container.  If you enjoyed, please comment and I hope to see you again on Friday!

Quick Update: Valentines

Hello everyone!

Valentine's day is coming soon, so it is always nice to have a few heartfelt notes in your stash. These cute valentines were so much fun to make so I thought I'd share them with you in another quick update.  On the upper left card, I used stamping techniques and the one next to it uses ribbon scraps to make a heart.  The other two are just pattern paper and simple layouts.  Please comment and share if you enjoyed and keep checking back for new posts!
