As Promised!

Sometimes I hear people say "I don't know where the weekend went"...

in fact...

I even hear myself say that sometimes.

But today, I can say "I know right where the weekend went".

Baseball...

baseball...

and more baseball.

My husband has made a true fan out of me!



However.....



I would be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about all of those projects I have back at the house.


I know I promised you a sneak peek at what's been going on in my home office so, albeit a small one, (kind of more of a tease really)....

Ta dah!

I was able to run a couple of errands and pick up some great deals and I can't wait to share them all with you soon!


Hope you are having a great Monday!

Kim

p.s.  The light fixture is almost hung!  Woo hoo!!!

Happy Feet

Have you ever been so excited about something....either good news about a job....

 or a new pair of shoes.....

or arriving at a vacation destination....

that you just couldn't contain yourself....and you started dancing......

without any music....

or a care in the world about who might be watching?

Well, that's what my sister, Denise and I call "Happy Feet".

And that's exactly what I was doing today....when this box arrived...

I couldn't believe how fast my new light fixture for my office got here!

And, my sweet darling husband, with whom I am celebrating our anniversary with later tonight, will be installing it for me sometime this weekend.  (Of course, it will be in between lots of LSU Regional baseball games!!)

Geaux Tigers!!

He promises....he will have it up and working before Monday morning...and I look forward to sharing it with you on the reveal day!

Stay tuned for sneak peeks of what else has been going on in my home office space!

Have a great day!

Who Wants to be an Organized Wizard?

Want in on a little secret?

7 Days to an Organized Home Office

While I was busy working on my last month's Kitchen challenge, I regretfully have to admit that I let my home office space got a little out of control.

Okay.  Maybe a lot!

The first thought that came to mind, was "I Dream of Jeannie".  (For those of you who are too young to know what I am talking about, it was a tv show back in the 60's about a jeannie who, with a nod of a head, a blink of the eyes and folded arms, could magically change things).

Unfortunately, when that didn't work for me, I paused....

jumped on google search....

and somewhat inadvertently discovered the "Get Organized Wizard".

(I wasn't literally searching for how to become a jeannie I promise)...

but I did find a willing participant to help me bring my office back to some sort of normalcy.

The Get Organized Wizard offers several courses on organizing everything from your life - time management & goal setting, to your home - closets, offices, etc. to life and business strategies.

 This course is an easy process to getting your home office organized in about 8 to 10 hours over the course of 7 days!

It takes you through a journey of Purging, Reallocating Space, Filing, Adopting Habits for a Clean Desk, and keeping your office space Tidy!

I have completed 5 of the 7 days and am well on my way to Home Office Wizardry!  If you are interested in using this product simply click here.

I was compensated by "Get Organized Wizard" in the form of this product only.

I will postpone the Home Office Challenge Reveal until June 5th so that anyone who is interested in using this product will have time to implement!

Happy Organizing!

Kim

p.s.  The little secret - I once had an "I Dream of Jeannie" costume that I wore to a costume party.  (A long, long time ago!!)

A Little Red White & Fruit

 Living in the south and not having a pool in your backyard can make for a very hot Memorial Day weekend!

Thank goodness for Pinterest and some great water recipes!

Calvin and I celebrated by having some friends and family over for a BBQ!!

Some how, the men ended up outside together while the women stayed indoors and enjoyed the good ole A/C!!

It was a great time to get together and celebrate the men and women who have and continue to fight for our freedom in this beautiful country of ours!

Hop over to www.makoodle.com to see the tutorial on how we made these yummy Patriotic Pops!


How did you celebrate Memorial Day?

And for all of my followers in other countries, I hope you had a great weekend as well!!

Take care,

Kim

Office Space Inspiration

We are more than halfway through May and revealing our office makeovers!

 How is your's coming along?

Along with some serious reorganizing, I knew I wanted to make some aesthetic changes to my office space but have really been struggling with exactly what those changes were going to be!

Until now....

This room makes my decision crystal clear!

For instance:

Paint colors

Single wall in a different color and pattern

Light fixture(s)

Top of the desk

Pegboard

White boxes

Cabinet with lighting

and how about that

candy/gum ball jar thingy!!

Stop drooling Kim, and get to work!

Favorite Things Tuesday

Welcome Back My Friends to: 

Favorite Things Tuesday

Are you one of those people that frequents greeting card shops?  


Do you find yourself laughing in the aisle out loud at one of those Shoe Box greeting cards and then looking around to see if anyone noticed your outburst?


Before you know it time has passed and you are standing at the checkout with a handful of cards that you just couldn't leave without.


Chances are you have just the right person in mind for each one but not necessarily the right time to give to them.

You get home and they end up  in a pile somewhere with hopes that you will be able to put your hands on them when you need them!

I am one of those people!

While I was in search of containers for a client not too long ago, I came across this card holder.

 It has six dividers with a tab that you can put custom labels on to keep your cards in separate categories.

I gathered up my piles of cards and put them in stacks by card type, making labels for each category. 


I made five labels for the categories that I had the most cards for and then a miscellaneous one for all of the others.

I also purged some that lost envelopes along the way or just no longer made sense to keep.

There's something about sitting down to write a note to that special someone either for a birthday, a milestone, or just to let them know you are thinking of them.

And that, my friends, is one of my favorite things!

Happy Tuesday!

An Organized Gift Wrap Station

Happy Monday Everyone!

Hope you had a great weekend and tackled some office space that needed to be organized!

My daughter, Kelly and her husband, Brad came in town for the weekend and on Sunday she and I made a trip to Target on a mission!

We barely got in the door when we were quickly drawn to the Dollar Section. 

It was like a huge magnet took over our bodies!

         really!

Who can pass up a great deal!

I loved these tin containers for $1.00.

The menu board is magnetic and can go right on the refrigerator with whatever glorious meal you have planned for the evening!!

I picked these gift bags up for $1.00 each.  They are roughly 10" x 13" bags and so colorful!

After finally pulling ourselves away from the Dollar Section, we hightailed it over to get what we really went there for which was these "over the door" racks that Kelly had seen on the internet for storing gift wrap and all of the pretties that go along with gift wrapping!

In typical "Kelly&Mom" fashion, we couldn't get back to my house quick enough to put this puppy together.

resource

I know this looks like a lot, but it really was super easy to put together and it took about 10 minutes!

We started from the bottom up so we could get the most out of the space provided.  

After adding the wrapping paper we noticed that the unit was starting to buckle at the hinge that connects the unit together.  So we simply used a couple of nails to reinforce the unit on the door. 

If you don't want to put small nail holes in your door, you may want to try command hooks or some other type of reinforcement.

The unit comes with a couple of wire corrals that I was able to use to hang tissue paper over.

Do you have gift bags that you have skipped over for years but never get rid of?  

Why do we keep those?  

I purged through mine and finally let go of several bags along with any that were torn or bent.

This section was mainly devoted to Christmas ribbon, containers, and bows.  I used the tin containers to hold Christmas gift tags and smaller ribbon.

The top 2 baskets were devoted to other ribbon that I use a lot when wrapping presents.

Wish I had a before & after to show you but we were both so anxious to get started that I forgot to take pictures!


You will just have to trust me when I tell you that I freed up three baskets and two plastic storage containers and ended up with a very organized Gift Wrap Station!

I guess it's only fair that I go to New Orleans to help Kelly with hers, right?

How do you organize your gift wrap?  Please email me your pictures!  I love showing off my readers hard work!

Have a great day,

Kim
