Crafting and Organizing!

I've been getting things together lately! And feeling good about it! Last week Kai needed helping making his homecoming date's mum, so I took that on... I got away only spending $40.00!

This is before the flowers were added and the stuff on the front (unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the after)

Later in the week, I decided the cabinets under my bathroom sink were DISGUSTING! Seriously, I hesitate to even put the before picture. I'll preface the "after" by saying that I also want to make a wooden shelf to put the pink razor basket on top of, so that I can put towels underneath. This poor cabinet is our ONLY bathroom storage. Ahhh, gotta love apartments!

Before. (Gross, I know)

After (- the shelf on the left)

And in another effort to be a good homemaker this week, I went to the dollar store and got supplies for 72 hour kits! I'm lacking some beef jerky, some cans of soup, and some beanie weenies (my personal fav!) When they're finished, there will be a 3 day meal plan typed out and all of the food will be divided up into the 2 canisters. One for me, and one for Ryan. My plan is to buy a 1-gallon container of water each week until the cupboard above our fridge (the one that I can never reach without a kitchen chair) is full. It's not much, but it's a start. I think my next project will be a killer first aid kit.

I'm also trying to think of a cute way to send Calvin the Euros we got him for Christmas.... any ideas? I'd love to hear some comments. I'm in charge of collecting all of my family's gifts for him and making sure they get there in time. I'm thinking of making this stocking and putting all of our things in there (because all he wants is money :-)!


Ta ta for now!
