Don't agonize - Organize!

  So since I'm on this crazy mission to better organize my life, especially at home, I thought it would be suitable to create an organization board.  Just a central HQ for all the goings on in our lives.

  To start off, I must give credit to my source of inspiration.  I found a pin on Pinterest by Girl Loves Glam for creating your own organization board.  She has all sorts of awesome ideas and styles, so check her out if you have the time!

  So once I got the idea, I adjusted the layout a little to accommodate my needs and set out to gather my supplies.

For mine I used:

2'x3' piece of plywood (found at Home Depot)

2 5"x7" frames (found at the Dollar Store)

2 8.5"x11" document frames (found at Dollar Store)

2 small wicker baskets (found at Michael's)

4 decorated clips (found at Michael's)

scrapbook paper (found at Michael's)

paper print-outs (found here)

picture hanging Command Strips

paint

12" picture hanger (found at Home Depot)

measuring tape

nails

level

  I started by painting all around my board.  I found some leftover paint in our basement from an earlier room painting project, which really helped tie the colors to our existing decor.  Then I used my measuring tape and level to set up the frames and pick my layout.

  I found a really neat collection of scrapbook paper from Michael's, so I used it as a background to my printouts.

  For the cleaning list, I created my own version.  We just bought a house last summer, so we're still learning all of the upkeep necessities.  I'm sure we will come up with many additions to this list as we go on, but for now this is what we came up with.

  I used the paper clips as hangers for my wicker baskets, grocery list and receipts.

  Then I attached my picture hanger to the back of the board.  I love this kind of hanger because you can take it down and put it up again so easily.  It's great for when you want to make changes, or if you're vertically challenged like me and you have a hard time reaching the calendar to take it down and update it!

  Next, it hung everything up on the board and checked my levels one last time.  And now it's time to sit back and appreciate all that hard work!

  And it looks like everyone in the house is ready to jump on the organization train!  Bob was immediately checking in on the To Do list.

  So there you have it - the beginning of my organization binge!  Now I just have to get Nick on board...
