Getting Organized

My desk has been the magnet for all things homeless. I finally got around to organizing it...and now it feels naked~


Before






After


Birdcaged Flowers

The window next to my desk has felt rather naked since i have moved in. It has plain white blinds, but no curtains...(just don't want any really). I decided to add a little spring to spruce up the bland white blinds. With Valentines coming and Spring close behind i added a splash of color. Hope you all like it~
I found these adorable bird cages at Michaels
Filled them with blue ribbon and pink flower petals
Added a small pink bird to one cage
Strung them through ribbon and hung from ceiling

Button Thumb Tack Tutorial



My work station is over cluttered with scraps of ribbon, cards, and little clip outs of this and that. So today i decided i was going to do a cork board to get organized! Well i didn't like the appearance of the plain thumb tacks so i added a little flare! Here is a step by step guide to making fun button thumb tacks~

Items Needed

*Colorful Buttons
*Flat Thumb Tacks
*Hot Glue Gun
*Cork Board (set of four at Michaels)


Glue a pea size of hot glue (*ouch it burns*) to back of the button!


Next carefully apply the thumb tack to hot glue












Allow glue and buttons to cool
Decorate Cork Board!
I love the look of this and am eager to fill it with my little findings!
