Another day...another Pinterest project (or two).

I swear, I just can't get enough of Pinterest. If I'm being honest I think it's maybe even more addictive than Facebook. Well, okay...maybe not "quite" as addicting. But at least my house and family are benefiting from my Pinterest addiction!

Today was another day of organizing...and crafting. Now, I must admit that I'm pretty good when it comes to organizing but crafting isn't quite my "thing." I try but I'm just not quite as talented as some of my "crafty" friends!

Here are my accomplishments for today:

I cleaned out my refrigerator and freezer! YEAH! I dumped some food (not much, thankfully), I cleaned the entire inside of the fridge and I organized it. Now I have this:

I bought these amazing little baskets at Big Lots for $2.50 each. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! Now my cheese (and cheese-like products) are in one, my partially-used veggies in another one, and yogurt in a third. I also have a smaller basket on the top with lunch meat and the purple one with drinks. I think I need to go back to buy at least one more (to replace the purple one and to look more organized). I love the handle on them. Makes it perfect for my kids to grab and figure out what they want rather than having to dig through the fridge for something. And I can now visually see when I'm running low on these products and know when I need to purchase more! Just love it!

The next two pictures are my freezer - before and after. This could still use a little more work and I'm not sure how this particular box will hold up in my freezer so I'll probably buy a different box (maybe two). The current freezer box holds all opened freezer products only. I'd like to separate my frozen fruits & veggies, though. But, I can also do that in my (currently almost empty) full-size freezer.

Another organizing project today included cleaning under my kitchen sink. The photos are boring but suffice it to say that is now clean, too! Now for my big pain - the rubbermaid/tupperwear storage! Ugh! This cabinet is always a mess...ALWAYS...and when my son puts the clean dishes away he doesn't really go into it with the same organizing eye that I have. Well, guess who was the last one to empty the dishwasher??? Does this picture give you a clue:

I mean, stuff is ALWAYS falling out of this cabinet. So, I decided a few things about this space. 1) If the bowl didn't have a matching lid it was gone. 2) Nothing was going to be stored in this space that didn't need to be there. 3) Things I rarely use will go on the top and the others will go near the front. 4) Lids will have their own place if I have to die trying!

Here's what I ended with:

Okay, so now on to the craft stuff...

I currently don't have any photos of the crafty stuff I worked on in the past few days but as soon as I do I'll post them. I've got a really good idea for an "Art Wall" that I'm working on (for my 6 year old's art work...and my 13 yr old...if he desires). It's partially done but I'm not super thrilled with it so I'm going to think through it a little more. I also bought some scrapbooking paper today (I've never EVER scrapbooked) to make some great wall decorations.

Lastly, I've started pulling out my 13 year old's art work from when he was a kid. I'm going to take pictures of the art work and put it in a photo album. It's a great way to always have the pictures without them taking up all the space. I can't wait for that one! I'm also going to do this with all my old stuff my mom has kept for me over the years. What a great way to save memories!

Happy pinning... :)
