Movie Inventory

Yeah it's Friday!  I have lots of things that I want to get done around here, but time just seems to be against me!  Come on time, work with me.  I did manage today to get done a little organizing project that I just thought of doing last night.

This week I have been working on putting together a Family Binder.  It is going to take me alot longer than I thought it would to get it done.  In the meantime, I am going to try and do some smaller organizing projects that will hopefully be quick and easy like what I did today.

I thought it would be nice to have an inventory of all our DVD's.  We are always pulling down every box that houses our movies and going through them to determine what we want to watch.  For mom and dad, this is a big pain.  We keep the movies up high on our bookshelves so our youngest isn't always getting into them. 

I put together three separate lists: Movies for Grown-ups, Kids Movies and Holiday Movies.  Here is the Grown-Up list:

. 

Next I placed colored dots on the outside of each DVD box.

 

 

I then put dots next to the movies on the list matching the color on the box.

 

 

Then, I put the lists into clear protective sleeves and placed inside a folder.

 

Lastly, I put the folder up on the shelf with our DVD boxes.  Now we can just pull down the folder, pick what we want to watch and get the movie. 

                                                       

 Quick and Easy!  I love that kind of organizing.  Have a great weekend and take some Time to Organize.

Pinterest Saturday

I hope everyone had a great week.  We had some unexpected rain here and cooler temperatures.  Always nice to have that kind of weather here.  I really didn't do that much pinning this week.  I am trying to go through and post the over 400 likes that I have. 

I really do not have a theme or topic for this week.  Just some random pinning.  Enjoy!

Mod Podge Magazine Box

Hey out there!  Hope everyone's Monday is going great.  The weather is so awesome here and the kids have been outside off and on all day.  Love it!

I decided last week that I wanted to re-arrange my son's room again.  I just wasn't digging where everything was and how cluttered it always looked.  So yesterday I cleared it out, cleaned it from top to bottom and rearranged his furniture.  Over the next few months we will be painting his room and making it look more age appropriate.  One of the things I could do right now was organize all of his magazines.  He has so many with no where for them to go.  I decided to make him a magazine box.

I thought I could cut out pictures from some of his magazines and Mod Podge them onto the box.  This was my first time using the stuff and I think I did okay for an amateur.  Here is what I did.

I took this old box and taped it up where it needed to be fixed.

Next, I started to place on the paper that we had cut out.

The only problem I seemed to have was dealing with how sticky the Mod Podge was on my hands.  I had underestimated this amazing product.

Orange is going to be one of the color accents in his room, so I trimmed the top of the box with orange scrapbook paper.  I had a hard time getting it even.  I am okay with it considering this is the first time I am doing anything like this project.

My son really liked how it turned out.  Now his magazines are very organized in something that reflects what he likes. 

I liked using the Mod Podge and learned some things that I can implement on the next project using it.  I had all of this stuff here and did not spend anything for this simple project.

I have said it in the past and will say it again.  Organizing does not have to cost you alot of money.  Just some time, effort and even a little bit of creativity can make organizing fun and easy to do!

Enjoy the rest of your beautiful Fall day and take some Time to Organize.
