Decoupaged File Box

Hey guys!

A while back I posted this tutorial for decoupage, and I am not sure what happened, but the post disappeared from my list in Blogger. I could have inadvertantly hit the delete button, who knows? Any way, I'm going to try re-posting it from memory. (We'll see how that goes!) This is my first attempt at decoupage, which I have always wanted to try. 

I guess it's not much different from collage, is it?

Quick Fix: Make a Loop to Hang Up Your Hair Tools

Hi Everybody,

Today I have another quick fix to share with you. 

My hair dryer has a handy loop on it so that I can hang it up and keep it 

off the vanity counter while I am putting on my face in the morning.

 

This is where I keep my face. 

(Shhh, don't tell anyone).

Organize Your Craft Room Inexpensively With Clear Shoeboxes

Hi There Everybody!

Woohoo, the sun is out! That's a big deal if any of you have 

been experiencing one of the gloomiest winters ever, as we have up here in 

Central Alberta. Right now though, we are in our second week of brilliant sunshine 

and my little girlies couldn't be happier! Check out their snowball feet.

Sturdy Cereal Box Organizers

Making Drawer Organizers For Mr. M. & Me

Mr. M.'s desk drawers are a nightmare, they really are. Kind of like my sewing
room, and when I hear him grumbling from behing the door 
(along with a bit of colorful vocab), I feel his pain. 
I have been doing some organizing and decluttering in my areas, and I
thought it was high time he reaped the benefits of my amazing talent for 
building cereal box drawer dividers. Below is my ever-growing collection.

How To Build a Crate for Fifty Cents

There is a little storage issue in our house. It is appropriately named Val's-sewing-room-is-the-catch-all for-anything-with-no-home.  A while back I purchased an Ikea expedit to display pretty objects, but a recent and dangerous walk through my sewing/craft room convinced the practical me to turn my expedit into a storage solution.

Build A Simple Storage Bin

Hi Everyone,

I'm starting to organize my sewing/painting/art supplies storage.  The paints have to be brought in every winter. Don't think 40 below would agree with them! 
I buy lots of my paints in larger pots and I might as well admit it, lots of paints period,
so large sturdy storage is a must. 

Build A Martina Bath Wall Storage

Hi Everyone,

I made this storage wall shelf about a year ago. It's the second  project I ever built, and it's a perfect size for our little downstairs guest bathroom.  The walls in our home are slowly getting filled with much-needed storage space. 

Build Some Little Pallet Drawers

Little Pallet Drawers

These little drawers are my answer to needing baskets for storage on a wall shelf I made for the bathroom.  They were inspired by Ana White's pallet storage boxes plan.
