Rainstorms for the {B}rainstormers
I know, Where have we been? That's the question we keep getting. We have been all over the place. We've been donating our moral support to each other through Heart Surgeries, Big moves to new houses and Car shopping til we literally want to drop! But don't worry! We've been crafting and baking away, always giving ourselves more things to blog about. We've got a lot to come that we are SO EXCITED for!

Inexpensive Drawer Organizers
Ok so, about a month ago I was looking in my drawer where I put everything I need to get ready. And I realized that I am completely unorganized when it comes to getting ready in the morning. I was just too tired and nothing had a place. So I finally decided that I needed to do some serious organizing. And I thought the best way to do that was to buy drawer dividers. BUT when I went online to check prices I just wasn't satisfied :) I couldn't find any in the size I wanted and they were so plain and BORING! So I went to iheartorganizing.blogspot.com (one of mine and Aubry's favorite blogs) for some ideas. And I found this amazingly cute idea! She made drawer organizers out of cereal boxes. How simple and awesome is that?
To start you'll need:

Start by finding some cardboard boxes of any size that will fit your stuff the way you like. I used cereal, cracker, poptart, and even perfume boxes. Place one of your boxes in the drawer to measure how tall you want it. You can use this box as a template for cutting your other boxes. After cutting all your boxes place them in the drawer to make sure they fit all together well. You can also pull out the drawer and make sure they fit before you cut them. I found it easier to just eye it.

Then you'll get some cute decorative paper to cover the inside of the boxes with. You don't need to worry about covering the whole box cuz once all the boxes are together you will only see the inside. First I cut just enough paper for two of the sides. Then I cut the paper to cover across the rest of the inside of the box and taped it down. After you are finished, place in drawer. SO SIMPLE :)

I love this craft because its easy, inexpensive, cute and its easy to rearrange or change if you get bored with it. Not to mention your recycling :) I used this craft for my "getting ready' drawer. But you can use it for any drawer that needs organizing. We all have that junk drawer that we throw random stuff in all the time. Why not use this craft to help organize all that junk?
To start you'll need:
- Boxes
- Sissors

Clean/Dirty Magnet!
For the first 9 months of their married life {A}ubry & her hubby Mike lived in our basement! We had to share a kitchen because we aren't fancy {rich} enough to have two! But it worked out good, since we like each other and all! Right, {A}ubs? Haha!
Well, splitting up the kitchen meant splitting up dish duty! And with four people doing dishes (ok, mostly three; I was big, fat & pregnant and super nauseous and I didn't do dishes all that often...) it got hard to know if the dishes in the dishwasher were clean or dirty!
So late one night I had a brilliant idea! I hopped on my fantastic silhouette machine {LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing...I use it ALL the time} and cut out "clean" & "dirty" out of a cute font{wish I were taller is the name of it, if you're curious. Got it from the awesomeness of Kevin & Amanda. they have the CUTEST fonts}!
Then I went to our fridge and made good use out of those obnoxious advertisement magnets:
I grabbed some trusty double-stick tape and taped the fronts {the part with the advertisement} together! Then I placed the "clean" vinyl on one side and "dirty" on the other!
It was a super cheap {FREE} & easy way to fix our constant asking of "is this clean"?
