Pantry Makeover

Last week, I just happened to be wishing out loud as my husband happened to be searching through the pantry for a jar of peanut butter.  How ironic is it that I was tthinking about pantry make-overs after checking out Shelley's at House of Smith's as my hubby was getting frustrated at the disorganization in our pantry!?!  He sighed and said "What do you want me to do?" and off to Lowe's we went.  This is what I got a few nights later....  I LOVE it!

I'm still hunting for a better way to organize my spices and who knew the cereal containers would be so hard to find?  It's a work in progress.  And it's not as beautiful as Jamie's but it's mine all mine and I love it!

Here's what Shelley did:  http://houseofsmiths.blogspot.com/2010/07/pantry-remix

And here is mine....

Big Lots a couple of years ago





Free Subway Art Printables

I used the link for the subway art found here for a few Christmas goodies. I printed the design off as 4X6 cards and framed them in cute black frames from the Dollar Tree. They are so dang cute! I'm thinking I could send new art for each holiday to my girls who get these gifts. Then, they just change the designs in and out! Precious!

Card Table!

I fell in love with the table display at my husband's aunt's home at Christmas.   This clever lady uses clear plastic found on the roll at most fabric stores to display her Christmas cards.  It made for great conversation around the table.  After the holidays, the Christmas cards are replaced by her daughter's school work and seasonal artwork.  I love this idea!

I love Smilebox!  For this year's gifts I wanted something different, something more personal than I'd done in the past.  Smilebox provided an easy solution....the only hard part was choosing which pictures to add to the collage.  Our family had a great year filled with plenty of adventures.  Looking back through this past year's pics was a beautiful reminder in how much God has blessed me and my family!
