Please Let Me Name Your Baby

I love to name things…people, pets, cars, invisible friends, etc. I don’t know why I take such joy out of thinking up the perfect name for people, but I do. I truly wish I could have ten thousand children just so I could name them all of the amazing names that I can think of. Maybe I should just move to a farm and get a ton of animals and name them all. If you are having a baby and don’t have a name yet, I might just text you with a thousand suggestions to use. This is a warning, people, not a joke.

Necklaces Reorganized

Posted on

For a very long time I’ve kept my necklaces in two boxes. The first one was for my large costume jewelry and the second for necklaces that are a bit more delicate. The delicate ones I kept in individual plastic baggies to protect them.

This system worked for a little bit, but I found myself going for the same necklaces all the time because it wasn’t easy to see all my other options.

Also, I got really lazy at putting things back in the box and they ended up all over the top of my dresser, which thrilled my husband. 😉

I needed a change, but I didn’t know how I wanted to organize them. I watched this video (fast forward to 4:00) and really liked how she had all her necklaces hung, so I started the hunt for a good hanger system. At Target I found one that was amazing because each hook was broken up into three hooks, so there was a total of fifteen places to hang different groupings of necklaces.

I started out by laying all my necklaces on my bed in color order. (What you can’t see are two little boys that insisted on helping me.)

Then my incredibly handy husband hung the hook system up for me and I transferred the necklaces to it. The whole process took only about a half hour and I’m so happy to have all my necklaces visible and my dresser top cleared off.

Now to organize my earrings and bracelets. Any suggestions?

Happy Fashion Friday!

Not ADHD, Just Gifted

I don’t have ADHD, but I DO have a LOT of energy and a HUGE imagination. The combination of the two of these “gifts” means I’ve never known what it is like to be bored. I really don’t understand how kids can say “I’m bored”. Don’t they know how many amazing things there are to do in this sweet and precious life and that there just isn’t enough time to get it all done?! Sometimes…okay, more that sometimes, but I digress…I wish I was independently wealthy and could just spend time crafting, decorating, writing, serving, dancing, fort building, song composing, outfit combining, picture taking, etc, etc. If anyone I know wins the lottery and feels like sharing, I will happily take any contributions to my non-boredom fund. 🙂
