Countdown to Halloween!

Here is my Halloween advent calendar! I used a ton of Halloween scrap paper and my circle cutter. I then glued them to two 12 X 12 scrapbook pages and strung them together. Each day we will open the circles and have a fun fall craft, recipe, or adventure to do!

Hutch Shelves #30--DONE

The bottom cabinet of my hutch pretty much had become a place to toss things that I didn't have space for! Just a big mess. After reading this post at The Idea Room I decided I needed to clean it out and make it more functionable! I even had bought the same little drawer containers from Target (mine are black) and even though I had less space I was determined to make it usable!

Before:



Just a big random mess! So I cleared it out and labeled my bins. I feel so organized now:

Quick Fix #4 DONE

So I bought two of these frames at Target on clearance. I thought they were super cute and wanted to put them on either side of my hutch. The only problem is that they would only hang one way:



Its bothered me ever since I hung them up that they were facing the same way. I've wanted to change it every time I looked at them. I decided to just do it:



Awwwww so much better! I couldn't get good pictures though because of my dining room light fixture. It was hanging in my way but you get the idea :)

Cork Board LOVE

I found this four pack of 12X12 cork board at Rite-Aid when I was looking through the school supplies and I just HAD to have it:



I've been really unhappy with the space on the wall above my scrapbook table ever since I re-organized the area. So I decided to use the cork board to hang unused/duplicate pictures.

So I went through my scrapbook stash to find some inspiration. I decided to go very simple and just spelled out the word LOVE down one side. Then I used coordinating border stickers down the other side:



Close Up:



Really plain, simple, and easy but I LOVE the way it looks now:



P.S. I know the pictures are silly and put on funky but that is how I like it!
