Bulletin Board Quickie

After my office re-arranging and organizing I did a super fast re-vamping of my bulletin board. This thing was previously a necklace holder and it had some craters in it and it's just not pretty or inspiring to look at plain cork.  I had some leftover material from my boxes for the bedroom project and pulled it out to use. I also used a stapler, fabric glue, and a round-cutter thingy (that is the technical term).

I stapled the fabric around the edges and trimmed off the excess using the cutter. I made sure the fabric was stretched pretty tight across the board. I wasn't too worried about the edges being neat (not too much of a perfectionist here)

Then, I used black ribbon to edge it. I stabled an end of the ribbon and used fabric glue to make it stick in the middle. And then- Voila!

Pretty cute huh? :)

My first craft at my newly organized desk! haha

Operation: Office Organization!

The after-Christmas disaster bomb had officially claimed any sense of organization that was in our office, which wasn't a whole lot before Christmas. This poor office is like the "extra" room. Anything extra gets tossed in here. It is actually a office/storage/craft/music/puppy room. Here is what it looked like prior to any organizing: (I am so ashamed)

 Ok- so those pics are even THAT bad. I mostly focused on "my" areas of the office (B and I split it- his side = disaster! and I can't fix it. lol) - Here is a picture of the middle of the process of moving stuff around. This is actually a better picture of what the office generally looks like.

Yikes.

You can see the problems. I don't have enough room on my desk to do anything, there is not a lot of storage, and Brandon's lovely keyboard is taking up 1/3 of the room. I had to make some changes and do some purging. Here is what it looks like now:

SO much better! And- in my next post I will tell you all about how I covered that bulletin board hanging over my desk in about 10 min! Super Simple!!!!
