Organization Finally!

Over the past two+ years I have kept all of our paid bills, important paperwork and whatever else into one of those plastic three drawer stacker things that turned into a huge mess! I had to take action and do something about it! It was driving me nuts.

I ended up shredding SO much paper and recycling it all afterwards.
I didn't take a picture of it before, but this picture below is just some of what I have to shred still. I couldn't believe how thinking keeping things means you are organized....it just means you worry too much and its not necessary!


This is 3 huge drawer fulls of stuff into ONE!!!!! I was so impressed, and Ryan was too.
I found the 2-drawer Steel filing cabinet at Walmart for like $35.

Totally worth all the work and time shredding stuff!
I feel so much more organized!

Things I've made the past couple weeks!

My Three Trees! I purchased these tree wood cut outs at the Wood Connection here in Murray. Sanded, painted and cut the paper out and modged podged it on! I think they turned out cute for the Christmas holiday!  


This is a magnetic board I made up as well for a friend at work for Christmas. You can also find the actual magnetic board and vinyl wording at the Wood Connection ! I love that place. I just found some odds and end scrapbook paper from home and tore the edges and glued them on with modge podge! Found some cute ribbon to hang it up with. Simple and easy! 
 She loved it.


I found this recipe on Glutenfreely.com and made it for Christmas Eve morning for Ryan and I. It was delicious and made a ton for the two of us. We had enough to last us the following week. I used blueberry filling. Delicious!


Our Family Christmas Party we had to make a $5.00 homemade gift for two of our nephews. With the help of my mother we came up with these little car caddy's for Jared and Logan. They took about an hour or two to finish them both. I loved how they turned out and hope they have fun playing with them! I did Logan's in Blue lettering and blue "CARS" material inside.



These are the chocolate covered peppermint crushed oreos I found off of Pinterest! I made them for some neighbor/friend gifts this year! Super easy and cute.
Ryan really liked them a lot.
