Organizing week six

We had a nice family weekend. Had family night, watched a movie. Took a trip to the pet store. Mikhail was so excited about that it was like we were going to the zoo! :) We also took a walk in the warm SUN!! It was beautiful in our part of the country Valentine's Day. I'm not kidding when I say warm. We were walking a trail near the ocean and still didn't necessarily need a coat!

I whipped these up in about 15 minutes for the kids. We are being cheap these days so everything I used to make these we already had around the house. Those containers are packaging from my Prima Flowers.

I kept the Valentines for school pretty simple and managed to make 66 of these in a day for the girls classes. Hearts are for the girls and frogs for the boys.

Here's a photo from our weekend walk. The kids rode their bikes. Mikhail kept watching his tires, he said that it was too bright. The problem is he almost ended up in a head-on collision with two adult bike riders coming the other way. He panicked, wobbled all over trying to decide what to do and wiped out, bouncing off the pavement. He was more embarrassed than hurt, :).

Here's another organizing idea. I used to have my brads in a spice rack. It didn't work because there weren't enough jars for amount of brads I have. It also took to much space on the counter top.

I saw this idea on Two Peas. I used a place mat which happens to match my room. :)

I sewed on Velcro and now store my brads in small bags that attach to the Velcro. Easy to put away and doesn't take much space.

thanks for peeking :)
