PINNED IT AND DID IT: ORGANIZATION

For the container holding the Q-tips I left the lid on it. For the other ones I cut the lids off.
Hello Everyone. I'm back with another linking up with H&K Style Journey Pin it and Did It. This weeks Pins are super easy to do. Also they are great with organizing.  First we have a swiffer container box that the wet wipes come in. Hubby was complaining to me that he want his toe sock and his regular sock separated. Once I was done with the wet swiffer I didn't want to throw the container out. So I let it air dry and clean it out. Then I put it in hubby sock drawer. Which I was happy the swiffer container was a prefect first. Then I just throw his toe sock in the swiffer container. Now he doesn't have to go digging for his toe sock. I know you all are problay wondering why my hubby wear toe sock. Well It is because he wears Vibram Five Finger shoe everyday and they help with not making the shoe smell. 

For my second project is reusing Charmin wipe container. Before our stuff arrived from the states we were buying charmin wipes. So we ended up having a good amount of the container. Seen the container where so pretty decorated I end want to get rid of them. So I decide I needed to find a use for them because I also didn't want them sitting around. So as I was putting stuff away in the bathroom it hit me. Why not put q-tips in one.  So thats what I did. Now I don't have the huge ugly q-tip box sitting in the medicine cabinet. Then I took another and put all my nail tools and small stuff in it. Then for the last one I use it to hold my hair brush. I took the label maker and label them that way we know what is in them. 

Now that we have all are stuff from the states I just re-fill the charmin wipe boxs up with cottenale wipes. That we already had. 


HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY EVERYONE

DIY: Coin Frame



Hello Everyone. Today I'm doing another linking up with H&K Style Journey Pin it and Did It. I have had this empty frame for a couple years now. So when I came across it again. I knew I want to do something with it. As I was going thru stuff in the computer room. I came across this flower card. Which I fall in love with it. Its a card I sent to my hubby when he was deployed

One day I was on Pinterest I saw the Military coins display. I thought I so can make one of though. Which one day I will. Once I find all of hubby coins but for now I just my pressed penny from Disney World. I just used double sided tape to hold the coins to the card. After I was done taping them the card in the frame it went.

This coin display is displayed in my kitchen on my bakers rack.





I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY.

DIY: Nail Polish Display

Mine
Hello Everyone. Today I'm linking up with H&K Style Journey Pin it and Did It.  Seen I have become a housewife. I have a good amount of free time on my hands. That when I'm not working on getting my house done or running errands.  So I have been going on Pinterest a lot. I came across this picture that a person turn a picture frame in to a display tray.  After seeing it. I knew I wanted to make one for my nail polish. Since I didn't have any extra picture frame. I knew I had to go buy one. Before I went out and brought one. I decide to go to the reuse center. It is a center we have here. Where people take there unwanted stuff and drop it off. So other people can get use out of it. Everything there is free. I went over there one day. Just to look around. To my luck I came across this heart picture frame.  Only problem it had a broken standing. Which is probably why it landed in the reuse center.  I didn't care that the back way broken. 

I came home that day and finish taking the broken piece off with a pair of pliers.  Once that was off. I went to my old greeting card and find one that I sent to my hubby.  When he was deployed back in 2006 and put that in the frame. After the frame was put together. I put the frame in my bathroom and put my nail polish on it. Now I have a pretty display frame and It didn't cost me a thing. 

The reuse center has become my favorite place to go. I go a couple time a week just to see what I can find. The other day I brought home a filing cabinet. Which I need another one. I'm hoping I can find another cute frame. That way I can make a cork board for my desk. 

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY.
