Junk Drawer Rescue

I think the majority of us are guilty of having a junk drawer in our home.

My junk drawer is my entire desk.  It's tragic, really.  The picture doesn't even do the mess justice.

I decided it was time to grow up and have a desk that acts more professional.
I dumped everything onto the floor and instantly felt very overwhelmed.

I literally want to climb under a rock for showing you this.

But, once I loaded the tabbie template into my editing software, added titles,
and started designating names to each folder, it helped the process move along much faster.
And although I used my tabbies for folders, these could certainly be used to label totes, pantry items, and so much more.
Make them your own!

Every loose piece of paper and artwork now have a home.

Doesn't it feel good to make little spaces more functional?  I love it.

And, I loved having this noodle salad for dinner tonight.  Yummo!  One of my faves.
Happy organizing!

freebie friday - thanksgiving name cards

Let's be honest about Thanksgiving.  

There is nothing better than walking into the dining room and sitting down next to those you love at a beautiful table.  [Okay, the food is probably better.  Especially if you cook like our mother Jonas.]  

But how do you feel about spicing up the decor a little with personalized place settings for each guest?  How about a pear dipped in chocolate and rolled in diced almonds?  Or maybe a homemade caramel apple drizzled in white chocolate?  

Slice the top and place one of these name cards inside.

Voila!  A free, delicious, easy way to make every guest feel welcomed to a special holiday dinner!

party party party!!!

Hey everyone!

I'm going to my first "Thanksgiving" party of the year today and I'm so excited!!!

We are doing a bake off and I've lovingly coaxed my husband into being the baker!

Prizes will be given away for best tasting and most beautiful!

I'm going for both!

So I made a cake plate and decorated it with these tiny flags!

They are perfect for toothpicks and cupcakes!

Obviously our dessert isn't made, but nobody hates almond roca either right!?

Wish us luck! I'm a little competitive!

Freebie Friday - Canning Labels

Okay, let's be honest.  I have a slight obsession with glass jars.  I bought like two flats of them last week. Oops.  I have this image in my head that I am going to can peaches, make jams or lemon curd and give them to friends and family.  I am still working on the actual canning part, but I thought I would start by designing some labels.  

And really, sometimes, nothing is more darling than organizing by color.  Enjoy!

love addie

Book Plates

Complimentary book plates.
Wouldn't you love opening a book to one of these goodies?

Use them as a notebook label, textbook book plate, or size them down to label pencil boxes, rulers, and other school supplies in a stylish way.

There are six varieties to choose from!

Freebie Friday- Better Late Than Never!

Alright dear readers I must apologize for the late night Freebie Friday post! Usually my summer days are carefree and casual, but today it was like a wildfire. CRAZY!

It seems like organization has been on my mind a lot lately. All the 'freebies' I've been making seem to be the type that help you keep it all together! I guess I'm telling myself something?!?

In my bio I talk about how much I love color! I wasn't kidding either-  hence I've created a plethora of wonderful options for all your kitchen and pantry label needs. 

Each color option has two pages of labels. Hopefully there are enough options to keep your pantry lookin' cute!
