Getting Organized

Hello! I hope your weekend is great so far! I've spent a good amount of time cleaning and organizing our downstairs office/stamping room. What started as just cleaning off my messy table snowballed into some much-needed and long overdue organizing and purging!!!! During the process I uncovered some alterables I'd picked up along the way -- they were begging for some attention! So, as a reward for a job well done, I got busy altering them! :)

The first item is a 9x6 inch clipboard. It was part of a 3-pack I purchased at Staples several months ago. I turned it into a "to do list" holder, so I can keep better track of my projects and deadlines. I covered the clipboard and the chipboard "t" with SU! Bali Breeze paper. Then I stamped over it using Baroque Motifs and Simple Type Alphabet (retired). I had grosgrain ribbon and Primas that matched perfectly, so I used them for embellishments. The clipboard is now hanging on the wall above my table, so I can't escape the list!

I picked up these packs of magnetic clips at the Target $1 Spot, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. I covered them with Cosmo Cricket Wonderland paper, which coordinates perfectly with my kitchen. Then I used sets from Papertrey Ink to monogram them for Kyle, Megan, Anna and Caroline. Now their important papers and invitations look great on the side of our refrigerator! Good-bye ugly magnets (more purging)! :)

Now that the office is clean and my juices are flowing, I have lots of ideas swimming in my head! That means I'll have more to share -- I hope you'll stop back! Thank you so much for visiting my blog -- I appreciate it SO much! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!! :)
