Baking drawer quickie

I forgot the before shot but this drawer was a mess of spatulas and such that now have a much better home. I love it drawer, it's very "me". FYI, if you know me at all you know the only food coloring I bake with is natural fruit/veggie colors. The "bad colors" as my children call them are for coloring items that are not consumed, like play-dough and such.

Spice drawer makeover:-)

Another great idea via www.iheartorganizing.blogspot.com... I still need a few more jars for my last few spices but overall, I LOVE IT! Perfect especially for someone who purchases spices in the bulk bins at whole foods and the spice house:-) the cute and functional spoons were only 2.99 at World Market, the drawer liner in wrapping paper and the little bins are from the Target $1 bins.Who says a makeover has to cost a ton?

                                   Before: not so pretty cloth napkin storage

         

                              

Mid: I just love the pop of color!

          

After: 

A VERY productive weekend

As you may have been able to tell I have been in full organizing mode. I am in love with all the wonderful ideas on iheartorganizing.blogspot.com and Pinterest :-) this month is kitchen makeover month on iheartorganizing and here's my before and afters of my cookie cutter bin and pantry. Still working on my spice drawer so more to come on that soon:-) wall pops are a life saver for apartment life! However, we do have an awesome pantry for an apartment:-)

The messy bucket - o- cookie cutters

a "pretty'd up" plastic drawer from elsewhere in the house now houses the cookie cutters (and the other one has occasional use kitchen tools), all that's missing now are labels! Man I miss my P-Touch label maker...

Before Pantry Shot #1

Before #2, yes...those are golf clubs we kept forgetting to take to storage

Before #3, all  I can say is yikes!

After #1, complete with wall pops

Organized and functional:-)

Appliances have there own home

The lovely home to our weekly menu and grocery list (I can't take credit for the layout, found it on Pinterest) 

Valentine's dinner

Not the best pictures but we enjoyed heart pizza, Caesar salad with yellow pepper and cucumber hearts and a fruit heart mini cheesecake for a special occasion treat:-)

Our Pin-spired Valentines

Madeline's class has to bring 30 Valentines to exchange that do not have candy (I <3 that about their school!) I've been wanted to make shaped crayons since I saw my friend Morgan's cute ones on Facebook forever ago. So after my wonderful hubby found silicone heart ice trays in the target bin, an idea was born. I started scouring Pinterest and found cute printables for the base, cut some matching scrapbook paper, Madeline signed her name and Voila! These cute Valentines were born!
