A little organization...

I've decided to start to organize my house one room at a time. Baby steps. One thing that this house lacks is storage space! Tiny closets, no pantry, etc...pictures to come. So, I've decided to start one room (space) at a time. So in essence, this will be a series of blogs. There are a TON of free printable websites out there, which I hope will help me to become more organized. I consider myself one of the most disorganized, organized people I know. I know where things are, but could anyone else find the thing if I wasn't present, probably not, definitely not. I decided to start small by going with the hall closet. We keep our linens and bathroom things in there, as well as things such as the dogs heart guard and frontline and whatever else he has in there. So, I will post some before and after pictures in the coming weeks, along with where I find my materials. Hope you enjoy!
Until then,
Kirstie

First I will start by saying I SUCK. I'm not very good at keeping this updated. Honestly, I haven't really done much as far as projects recently, but I did a couple of projects about a month ago at a craft day I had with some friends. If you go back to this post about my upcoming projects, I did do the one where you put lyrics on a painted canvas, spray paint it, and the lyrics show through. Now, I had ALOT of problems trying to come up with lyrics for this project. I bought two packs of vinyl letters (purchased from Michael's), which I clearly thought was enough. Turns out there are A LOT of E's and I's within the words of the English language, so I had to come up with something pretty basic.If someone would want to try this, I would recommend measuring the spacing BEFORE adhering the lettering to the canvas. If you're like me and slightly OCD it WILL drive you crazy that the letters aren't evenly spaced. This is what it looked like before spray paint:


And this is what it looked like after spray paint:


I'm still not exactly sure where I would like to put it in the house, so it's sitting in the unfinished office area (which will hopefully be finished soon).

I also made the soup which I referred to in this blog post.
It turned out well, but unfortunately I did not like it much after it was frozen. The pasta was kind of soggy and blah and in hindsight I would have used more chicken. But if you need a big pot of soup for something, and most of it will be eaten or can be refrigerated for just a couple of days, I'd recommend this one. Here is a picture of the finished product:

And this is the website where I originally found he recipe, which has very detailed instructions. Disclaimer: If you make this, you do need to buy a small chicken (which looks like a chicken), and take its' insides out! Yuck!
