Often, Pam and I find these really neat ideas floating on the web, send them to each other and say "Oh wow, we need to do this for the blog!"  I'd say between the two of us, we're pretty darn crafty and really good at creating things... but that doesn't mean they always look as amazing as we expect them to. Fast forward to Wednesday, when we made something that actually looked exactly as we expected it to, which if you know anything about DIYs or internet crafts it's a very rare occurrence.

I'm not going to lie, I am really bad at keeping my veeeery long paper trail of receipts, invoices and well...just anything made of paper organized. It's mostly due to having an inadequate place to store things. I work in a very small space so if my papers aren't neatly tucked away in a drawer or sorted, everything ends up in a paper box and never to be seen again...until I desperately need it and I'm frantically sorting through a years worth of junk. It's a problem.

So instead of sorting (pun intended) my problems out head on, I came up with this cracking idea to DIY a pretty looking box to store all my papers in. This is all in the hopes that one day I will sift through everything - so far, it's working out pretty great.

If a stranger were to come into my house not knowing a single thing about myself or my family, they'd most likely walk out with three solid assumptions, which would be 100% accurate. First, we have an abundance of shoes. Second, we really really like food. Third, we could open a plant observatory with the amount of plants situated throughout the house.
