Autism Fun Run

I was able to take some pictures at the Autism Fun Run on Friday. LOTS of pictures even though I was LATE! lol

On T.V. again!

Yes, yet again, I was in the right place at the right time and was interviewed for KVEW TV station as a parent of autistic children. Then they followed me around a little bit for more footage.

Great cosmetic organizing ideas I found!

Six Cosmetic Storage Solutions

Family Economics

(Before)

By Trisha

If you are like me and ready to get organized, begin with these three steps:

1. De-clutter: First empty out all your drawers, containers and make-up bags that you use to store your cosmetics. Toss out old and no longer used items.

2. Sort: Make piles of the various types of cosmetics you use such as eye shadows, lip gloss, eyeliners, etc.

3. Organize: Use one of the below options I have come up with to keep your cosmetics organized.

• Option #1: Use plastic shoeboxes with lids to sort and organize your cosmetics. These can then easily be stored underneath your bathroom sink.

• Option #2: Use various sizes of utensil trays and drawer organizers in your bathroom drawers to sort and organize.

• Option #3: Use stackable drawers or drawers on wheels. These come in a variety of sizes to fit your needs. Designate a different drawer for each type of cosmetic.

• Option #4: Pencil boxes make great cosmetic organizers you can use for each category: eye shadows, lip glosses, brushes, etc.

• Option #5: Over-the-door shoe hangers make a perfect storage solution and create a simple place to see all of your cosmetics at once.

• Option #6: Fishing tackle boxes are great for corralling your entire collection of cosmetics. They are also on-the-go ready when you are.

Now on those crazy mornings when you are in a hurry, your cosmetics are ready to use and can be found quickly.

Going to a "Crop" at my friend Tessa's house today!!!

It's always amazing how much you can accomplish when you go outside of your own home to finish projects. There aren't kids running around asking for your help or to make a pb&j every hour. And also, you don't have to worry about cleaning because it's not your house. Tee-hee!
Woopee! Scrapbooking time!!

6 NEW Cards today!

I get on these tangents of creativity and make all these cards at once. I told my husband "You gotta come look at these cards I made. They are all the same, yet different. Come look and you will see what I mean." He says "Oh that makes a lot of sense." ha ha! You'll understand what I mean too:
