SO I decided to try to spruce up my pantry with some AWESOME wrapping paper I got on the after Christmas sale from Target for $1.25 a roll!
I tried to decide the best way to apply the paper in a way that would also make it durable....so I decided on Mod Podge!
I applied a thin layer to attach the paper first....then put a thick layer on top to make it durable!
Here is a close up....And here is the finished product!
I am in LOVE!!
And the great news is that I didn't even use the whole roll....so Now I think I might have to do the cabinets too!!!
Tell me what you think!!!
Hello!! A little about myself...I am married to my best friend Tom(for almost 17 years) and have 3 wonderful (sometimes) children...Emilee 14, Caleb 10, and Aubree 5. I am very blessed to be a part of an Awesome church/ Sunday school class with tons of sweet Christian ladies (and men). If you are bored enough to read my blog...I hope you find some entertainment! I'm sure you will get a laugh or 2...because my life is CRAZY! You have to laugh to keep from crying sometimes!

New Passions!
So I have developed 2 news passions! Decluttering and organizing! And WOW do they make me feel GOOD! Like a DRUG!! It's AMAZING how much STUFF we have accumulated over the past 10 years in this house!
SO I am cleaning out under cabinets, closets, pantry...you name it!
I am also adding some neat touches to the organization! I found these super cute tags at Michael's this weekend to label my baskets in hopes of KEEPING things organized!
Check out my new and improved medicine cabinet!
Aren't those the cutest little tags?? And the best part is that they were only $1 for 12! (Oh and I got the plastic bins for $1 for 2.....or 3 depending the size from Big Lots) SO organizing doesn't have to cost you a fortune!!
Another project I have been working on is our dining room. We NEVER ate in our dining room since we have an eat in kitchen....so it has kinda been the catch all room! Don't know where to put it????? Oh, just put it in the dining room! It was a MESS!
SO over the Christmas break we cleaned it out...threw away LOTS of junk!
And I have now turned it into my craft room!
It is AWESOME!!!! I really think Emilee is loving it as much, if not MORE than me!!!(pictures to come later)
I bought some used book shelves for $10 a piece and some plastic storage bins from Home Depot along with some baskets I have collected over the years...and VOILA! STORAGE....ORGANIZED STORAGE!!!
Again notice the cute tags!!
I am LOVING it!!!
I hope to continue on with my decluttering and organizing! I have a LOT more to do!
But I just do a little more each week!
Oh and I didn't tell you the BEST part of all this...I am actually making MONEY from all this!!!
I have been selling the "good stuff" I find on our school's flea market...so far I have made about $250 on stuff I didn't want any more and was junking up my house!!!!
Hope I have inspired you to spend a few minutes each week and clean out an area in your house and get organized!!! I tell you it is life changing!!!!!
