Chalkboard Labels

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a delightful weekend. We had a great time Saturday at the Chuy's Children Giving to Children Parade in downtown Austin. At the end of the parade tons of trucks stop and all the kids run out to the streets to put their unwrapped toys in the beds of the trucks. Getting to see a great parade and giving to others is a win all the way around.

Now for some organizing.  I have seen these Martha Stewart with Avery Chalkboard Labels all over the place and just had to get some and try them out.  I decided to label something that I already had been using in our kitchen.  For the last few months we have been using clear glass vases for our silverware.  These vase are set out on the kitchen counter and make for really easy access.  So, I thought these labels would be great to spruce up the vases.  Here is the result.

       
I have to admit that these are awesome labels.  I goofed on one and just erased it.  How cool is that?  Um, really cool.  The are 12 of these labels per pack and I am looking for what else around my house I can use them on. 
Have a great week everyone and take some Time to Organize.

Pinterest Saturday

Happy December!!  It is so hard to believe we are in the last month of the year.  2012 has gone by in such a flash.  I guess life really does move fast.  If you don't slow down once in awhile, you might miss it.  Some of those great words are from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  I gotta buy that movie this coming year!  Wow, back to the post people!

So, I have not posted anything since before Thanksgiving.  We had such a great one and I hope all of you did too!  I figured I would get back to posting once December hit.  We all need a break from time to time right?

My Pinterest picks this week are really random.  Not a theme going on here at all.  So just sit back and enjoy.  Oh, and have a great weekend!!

Pinterest Saturday-Fireplaces

Yeah the weekend is here!  The weather here in central Texas has been so amazing and Fall like.  Fall is my favorite time of year.  All the colors and smells of fireplaces burning is great.  Yes, people really do use fireplaces down here.  Once the temps. dip below 50 degrees you can smell the logs a burnin'.  I know, kinda crazy but hey, it's fun.  So snuggle up with a blanket and enjoy some beautiful pictures of yule log holdings.  Fireplaces of course.
