What did I do before Pinterest???

I tackled my linen closet today.
My only regret is that I didn't take a before picture.
Our linen closet isn't very big, but it sure held a lot... I could barely close the door.  Nothing was organized.  
I got this idea from Pinterest!

 So basically... Sort out your sheet sets into sets, then fold them all into one of the matching pillow cases.  Now all I have to do when I go to change the bedding is grab the pillow case I want and it's all in there!  No more endless searching for the missing pillow case!!!  And look, I can close the closet door now!!!  I soooooooooooo <3 Pinterest! 

I have a feeling that I'm going to be doing a lot more crafts/organizing soon! :D

Personalized Coat Hangers.

Here's a cutesy little project that I made all by my lonesome!  I needed somewhere to hang keys, backpacks, and jackets, rather than them always being thrown on the floor or the coffee table (grrrr!). 

I'm not sure if  I 100% like these or not.  In retrospect I wish that I'd have just gotten black and white 8x10 pictures printed out and just had the pictures, but I guess it personalizes it just that much more to have each persons name and stickers that are relevant to them. 

The whole project cost me about $15, so it was fairly cheap and yes, they actually get used!  I should have made one for the dog so that we can hang his leash on it, but I ran out of wall.  Hehe. 

Picture frames $1.25 each at the dollar store.
Hooks $6 for 4 at Home depot.
Pictures $0.20 each at Walmart. 
I already had the stickers laying around in my scrapbooking room!
