Catch Up

One might say I've been on a major organization streak the past few weeks. I've cleaned out every drawer & closet (except for 2) in this house. It's amazing how one can accumulate so quickly. So everything that I couldn't justify keeping, or that didn't have sentimental value to me was off to Goodwill. (And I'm about ashamed to mention I threw away like a gazillion bags of trash. Papers, papers, and more papers.)

And you know one thing I am super excited about? Fall! I just love the crisp air, cool nights, colors, leaves, back to school supplies, football, you name it... I love everything about fall. And I also like making lists. So I made myself a list of "Things to get done before Fall". Me & those darn lists!

I'm so jealous of THIS pantry at the House of Smith's. So I gave organizing my own a shot.. and here's the results.

So not near as gorgeous as hers, but I was proud! I've even labeled everything since the after picture. And that was the 1st closet I got knocked of my list ;)


On to other things..
My sister got her first teaching job and she started this week! I've been helping her on and off for a while now coming up with ideas. We decided a Dr. Seuss theme would be cute. Leigh Ann (my sis), Kristen (friend) & I spent this past weekend decorating. Took forever.. but it's looking cute. And she was so excited she finally got to hang the crayon wreath I made her.


And of course, I've been spending lots of time with these 2 lovelies...


And last but not least, we've been working on our master bedroom re-do. I got so tired of Beige, beige, beiggeeeeeeeeeee.. A girl needs some color in her life. It's a work in progress, but I should have pictures to post soon. The paint is up, fabric ordered, and a couple of pillows made. I'm going with a blue/gray/yellow color combo. Here's a sneak peek... more to come later!


So there is the short-but-sweet catchup. Hope everyone is having a good week!
