say hello to my little friend

I have acquired a new, greatly desired friend...my new Dymo Letratag. Oh my-I love it! I have been wanting one for a couple of years and never felt the need to shell out the $19.95 for it.

My cousin, Kelly came to our enrichment night this past week and did a great presentation. She is a professional organizer for Clear and Simple. She did such a great job! She totally motivated me to get moving and take on one project at a time. She had great tips and trick for making organizing better. I am happy to report that I took on a medium sized job (less than 4 hrs from start to finish) and my kitchen pantry looks awesome! I am thrilled with the results! Shane even said how nice it looks. I wish I had taken a before picture, because my pantry before was seriously out of control. I threw away a garbage bag full of things that I didn't realize had expired. Based on what she taught, it seems like I will be able to keep up this system and keep my pantry looking like this! I can tell that I will be going label crazy for a few days! My next project...the boys' closets. She had a great idea to maximize the wasted space in kids closets that is under the clothes hanging rod. I am super excited to get their projects done and weed through some of the "treasures" they keep in their closets. (sorry I still don't know how to turn a vertical picture so it's not sideways)
