If you caught yesterday's post you know I was busy organizing my craft closet. Mid-organization I realized I needed more scrapbook paper storage. I hit the web looking for inspiration and stumbled upon Cat's Creations. She had a genius idea using something I already had and wasn't using. Gotta love that. She included a lovely tutorial that you can check out at her site. My organizer (which was laying around in pieces) and some zip ties was all it took. The good news is if you lost half of ...

Tutorial Tuesday: DIY Mobile
This is one of those posts/projects that I just love. I am so proud of how it turned out. It started with a little bit of pinspiration. Okay, so it sounds like perspiration.

Thrifty Thursday: Bookshelf Wall @ Bargain Price
I have been pinning and pinning away (don't forget, you can follow me on Pinterest). One thing that keeps catching my eye are these bookshelf walls.
