31 Days Challenge Recap

Well, I made it to the last day of January with only one day missed in the 31 Days Challenge.

My thoughts on the challenge? I probably won't do it again. It is tough to come up with something to blog about every single day. I ran out of ideas quickly and then had to blog about things that I probably wouldn't have bothered with if I hadn't been doing the challenge.

So, from now on, I will only blog when I feel like I have something worth blogging about. I have a feeling I will have a lot more to blog about soon. With Jake leaving for a deployment, I will have more free time to craft and redecorate.

My Sweet Dog

When I'm getting ready in the morning, Diesel will come into the bathroom and watch me. Most of the time, he falls asleep. Look how cute he is.

Cookies and Cream Kisses

I love Oreos (really who doesn't?) but I don't buy them because I would end up eating the entire package in one evening. My friend brought a package of Cookies and Cream Kisses to work yesterday, and I think they taste just like Oreos! Best of all, I just pop on in my mouth and let it melt and get the taste of Oreos without the whole package temptation.

Kraft Fresh Takes

It's getting really hard to come up with something to blog about everyday...but this month is almost over and I want to finish strong!

I'm a fan of all fast and easy dinner ideas. We recently started buying Kraft Fresh Takes kits. These are found by the cheeses. There are a few different flavors available.

It's like Shake & Bake, but cheesy! Best of all, it's so easy that even Jake doesn't mind to make it. 

New Year's Closet Organizing

I got this idea from pinterest and then forgot about it...but I don't think it's too late to try it. On January 1st...or whenever you remember...turn all of your hangers in the closet backwards, so it hooks from behind. As you wear something, then wash it and return it to the closet, hang it the normal way. At the end of the year, anything that it still hanging backwards did not get worn for a whole year and should be donated or sold. I know there are lots of clothes in my closet that I haven't worn but I always think I just might need it someday. If it doesn't get worn in 2013 I'm getting rid of it.

Busy Day

We had a busy day, and got a lot accomplished. Jake worked in the yard literally all day and it is looking really good! I worked all day in my craft room and organize the closet. I have a lot of stuff to get rid of and the fabric is all stacked up so I can actually see it all again. Sorting through that closet also reminded me of all the projects that I have started and never finished. My goal tomorrow is to finish ONE of those projects and I hope to have a photo to share in my blog post tomorrow.

More Origami Owl Designs

I got another package from Origami Owl today, so I got inspired to make up more charm collections.
