May Pinterest Project: Toilet Paper Roll Organization

-
My Pinterest-inspired project this time is one that has been floating around the pinterest world for a while, but that doesn't make having "Toilet Paper" in this blog title any less awkward, haha! Hey, a bloggers gotta do what a bloggers gotta do!


This project was recently highlighted by Jen of I {Heart} Organizing:



But other pins like this have been around the block as well:



Such a great idea! I decided to use it to organize my hair tool cords. I just found a few toilet paper rolls, covered them in pretty paper and this easy-peasy project was done!


I had been keeping the cords wrapped in a twist-tie, so my drawer was not a huge mess, but I love the ease and the eye appeal of this method!


I found that they don't slip off at all, I can pick up my straightener and the cord comes with it all nicely contained in its roll. So nice!


One of my curling irons is in a heat-protective sleeve, but the rest are not sporting their very own cord roll! Love the ease of the project, the price tag (100% free!) and the eye appeal of the finished product!

What projects have you been working on lately? Anyone else have such pretty drawers as I do? :)

    Those are really pretty!! It sure makes your drawer a whole lot neater.

    I had always wondered how well the tubes would stay on the cord. I guess that is one of the reasons why I have never tried them. Well that, and the fact that I have never seen any that didn't look like a toilet paper tube! :)

Some Friday Love: Recipe Binder Printable!

-
Image
To celebrate this beautiful Friday evening (aren't Friday's just the best of days?) I have a FREE printable for you! I have to admit that I don't have a recipe binder, but a reader asked if I could make a printable to match the others for a recipe binder. If there is one thing I love, it is making printables that meet the needs of my readers! This blog would be pretty boring without you, so passing on some love in the way of printables is the least I can do! Anyway, back to the printable. How did I get on the sappy train? I really was not sure what all is included on a recipe binder page, but here is what I came up with: Then I thought that maybe there are some people out there that prefer to write teeny tiny and save space, and would like two recipes to a sheet. So I shrunk everything down and came up with this: Hopefully this will be a help! I could totally do a B&W version or size it for a half sized binder, if you prefer. After making these sheets, I began to see ...

"Frasier Island" Book Review and Giveaway!

Last month I spoke at a Christian Writer's Conference and met beautiful authors such as Susan Page Davis. I recently read her book, Frasier Island , and I am so excited to tell you about it! It is easy to tell when you've got your hands on a good book, and friends, this is a good book . It is full of mystery and intrigue, unexpected twists and plots, and just enough romance woven through to make it not over-the-top-lovey-dovey. Romance novels aren't really my thing, but a well written, informative, interesting mystery is! The story line takes Ensign Rachel Whitney to a new post on a remote scrap of rock in the Pacific called Frasier Island. Living there in isolation with two other soldiers, both Rachel and Lt. George Hudson are running from their past...and ultimately towards each other. While guarding a highly classified secret for the US Government, Rachel comes to realize the importance of letting God have His rightful place in her life. It is rare for a woman to be pu...

Quick Tip Tuesday: Facebook. Just Stop.

I have to say, I never, ever thought I'd be writing this post. But here we go. The goal of these quick tips is to simplify. Because really, isn't that the goal of every organizing project? We find a system that isn't working - something that aggravates our daily routine, and frankly, aggravates us! And we tear it apart and make an even bigger mess than before so we can find a better system that simplifies life. These quick projects do the same thing, with the added benefit of being, well, quick! These are quick fixes that take little or no time but have a big impact. Today's quick tip? Just stop with all the Facebook. Now hear me out. I am not getting rid of Facebook. It is one of the main ways I communicate with not only my immediate family in Canada, but my extended family and close friends that live all across the globe. And one day I realized...I'm spending a lot of time on Facebook NOT doing those things. Instead, I was scrolling through a lot of ...
