Reworking and ORGANISING!

         HEY! So, it's been a couple days since I got to do anything I consider creative, and the reason being... well, ugly truth... my room was a MESS. Like... you know those clean people who say, "Oh, my room was such a mess" and it ends up the "mess" is actually like... folded clothes sitting on the dresser waiting to be put away and maybe a candy bar wrapper or two sitting near the candy bowl. Yah, I'm not one of those people, so when I say mess, I mean dresser top filled with clothes that are clean, but I'm just too lazy to put away, 3 or more purses(un-purged from their old receipts, half my endless stock of notebooks, pens I have been missing for ages, and the occasional granola bar wrapper or squished cracker), sizable piles of (still in use) craft items in haphazard groups on the floor, and, of course, jewelry scattered in hopeless clumps of torture and pain.
This was the state of my room... So I cleaned it! (Here's where you cheer with joy)  Now before you go judging me as a junk-aholic, please know that I always want my room clean. I just really don't have much space (it happens when you have to share your room with a younger sibling addicted to picture frames and teddy bears) and I have a sad lack of inspiration when it comes to organising. Well... till I found pintrest!(See? told you I was obsessed) as I browse the DIY(do it yourself) page, I occasionally come across absolutely genius ideas which I LOVE. I came across one such idea which also inspired me to be a little more organised!












YAY! It worked BEAUTIFULLY! I took a picture frame(just the frame and not the picture glass or back of it), some heavier lace(curtain lace), picture hooks and small nails. So to make it, I cut out the proper amount, used a hot glue gun to stick it to the back, nailed the picture frame hooks onto the front, and hung it up in my room. TADA! Jewelry holder! Super easy, and really nice cause I have all of my jewelry easy to see and no longer in hopeless tangles and messes!

So now my room is clean! Yay! But other than being clean I'm starting to get it organised so that it is easier to keep it clean. I have a few other things I am looking into working out to organize in my room, and now that things have slowed down after the weekend, I'm hoping to have time to work on my projects. Which include A. Remodeling a white dress to have a lace up back and perhaps some extra designs, B. turning a men's button up shirt into an adorable skirt, and some other odds and ends from pintrest I wanted to try.
If you have any other organisational tips or fun projects that you have tried and enjoyed, please do share! I love new ideas, and I'd super appreciate it. See ya'll next time!
