Life is beautiful! Even working sun up to sun down there's alway something beautiful in your day.
Sunrise at work, Sunset when I got home.

(my blogger app is being silly and messing up my pics but you get the idea)

Pantry reorganization....

To all my lovely readers who have been wondering about my pantry redo.

I am so sorry I never check my FB and a friend told me that I had messages on there.

Plus alot of people have asked me about my soup can holders and wall organizers.

The baskets are totally cheap-o!

Dollar Tree!

I love that store it is God's gift to crafty/thrifty women!

They were just baskets from in the storage section

and I just nailed em to the wall with some little nails.

The soup can holders.

I made them :)  But I can totally not take credit for the idea.

I got it from http://thenshemade.blogspot.com/2010/08/souper-storage-idea.html

I love her blog!

I just used some cute scrapbook paper I had.

It works like a dream!

There ya go! Happy Crafting!



Snow Day!!

I like snow when I don't have anywhere to be and I can sit and watch it's beauty fall from the sky. In true Indiana form we go from 50 degree weather to below 20 and snow! I love a nice warm breakfast, good coffee/hot chocolate and great company!

Day 2/365
Sweet nephews melt my heart

The Many Faces of Cooper!

Too cute for words!! I am one lucky Aunty :)

Welcome 2012!!!

It is so crazy to think another year has come and gone so quickly. This past year has been amazing with the building of our home and many cherished moments with friends and family. I love the feeling of a new year and a "fresh start". It's an OCD cleaner and organizer's dream! :)

With each new year I love having resolutions, or "goals" to fullfill.
