Dvd organizing

These last couple weeks have been crazy! We have been painting the bathroom and guest room and we just finished the guest room last night. SO GLAD! Today is the first day I have to sit down and update my blog. Well, for the last few years my mom has been bugging me about organizing my DVD's or getting rid of them. Before I had them in this. I dont have a pic of them in it but you got the idea;) 

Well I had 2 of these filled up all the way. Crazy I know and not the best system in the world either. I could never find the movie I was looking for and would end up watching something else. And if I did find what I was looking for it took at least 20 mins to find it. Well when we were going through my movies I got rid of 2 big black trash bags of movies that I never watch, but even then I had close to 200 movies. It was time to do something! So after looking on pinterest to get some ideas I came across this idea. 

                                 Source                  

After seeing this I knew it would be alot of work, but I wanted something easy to be able to find the movie Im looking for and also look cute. So I started separating my movies by genere. Action, Horror, Chick-flics, Musicals, and etc. Here is what it looked like, I know too many!!

I got two of these baskets from Hobby Lobby and they were half off got them both for about $13.

 

 

i got these dvd holders to hold single discs in. They came 50 in a pack from target. 

I ordered these from Amazon for the movies that came with 2 or more discs. These are amazing! 

I got the washi tape to use for the top of the file folders. I cut the file folder to a little bit larger than the dvd discs and put the tape at the top to make it look pretty! 

                                                 

Here is in the process of doing them. It took awhile, but its so worth it! I had to trim the papers inside to fit in the single discs. But for the double discs or more like my tv shows it looked like this. 

Here are the finished product! im so glad i did this its so much easier to find and carry around then those plastic bins. 

Materials Needed:

2 Baskets- Hobby Lobby

Washi tape- (4 in a pack) Target

Pack of folders- Walmart

Dvd Sleeves (50 in a pack) Target

Atlantic Sleeves (25 in a pack) Amazon Source

Being Creative! Tier stand

  Lately I have gotten creative. I guess after living with my mom all my life and seeing her doing crafts all the time it has rubbed off on me lol ;) But since I have moved in with my grandparents i have been trying to downsize everything of mine and organize, organize, organize! I even organized my DVD's! But ill post about that in a later post :). I knew i wanted a tier stand for my bathroom, but all the ones I have seen wasn't the look i was wanting. So i searched like crazy on pinterst trying to find something that caught my eye. I thought about a tier stand with baskets and I was going to do that until i saw this on pinterest and i fell in love! This is what i found its so adorable!

  So after seeing this I was on a mission to make it. So I head over to my local Goodwill store and got the items i needed. I left with this. 

  I got all of this for under 5 dollars! I was so excited because I didn't want to spend alot on this project. After i left there i headed over to Hobby Lobby to get some paint. I got the tubes of paint by Americana I started with a green color, but after I painted it I decided I didn't really like it so I used some of paint i had leftover from painting my room. Here is how it turned out! 

My dog decided to get into the picture lol ;) 

  I first washed all the dishes; then started to paint. I had to a few coats to cover up the designs. I let them dry for a few hours. After they were dry I just glued all the pieces together. All together I spent about 7 dollars. 

Materials Needed:

2 mugs (or more if you want to make higher)

2 plates

1 bowl

desired color of paint

E6000 glue 

I thought I would share something I made for one of my education classes. I saw something similar to it on Pinterest, but I changed some of it. I had to make a schedule that will be displayed in my future classroom. I wanted to do something different I looked all over websites seeing ideas what people have done, but i really wanted something where I could move the items around if needed. So, this what it ended up looking like.

What you will need to make it is:
-cookie sheet
-spray paint
-magnets
-letters (optional)

first I spray painted it this really pretty blue that I found at hobby lobby. I made all my labels and put them in the desired place with use of the magnets. Then I found the letters at hobby lobby.  I can not wait till I get to put it in use!

Well I just realized lately it has been awhile since I have done an update on here. But let me get you up to date. There is alot of changes going around the house in the last six months. My step dad got a new job in another state so we are trying to sell the house.... So keep us in your prayers about getting the house to sell.

Today was my official first day back from Chrsitmas break to school. Pretty good day I have a good feeling about this semester! I have gone back and forth with what major to go with in the last couple semesters. I was going to get my major in Teaching, but then I thought about graphic design. Well, long story short that wasn't the major for me so now I am doing Early Childhood Education and I hope I will stick with it this time!!

For the last three days it has rained and rained. Yesterday it started out pouring and then by 4 o'clock yesterday this is what showed up! First snow of 2013!  Its so Beautiful!  I hope everyone has a blessed day and if you got snow, enjoy it!!
