First Project to Blog About!

So I LOVE a crafty PROJECT! For many many reasons that I could list but won't cause it could take a while... But let me try to explain quickly, in a nutshell, the manner in which I go about my craftin': Un-organized.
Seriously. It's bad.
Now let's talk about Pinterest. I've been on Pinterest for only a short while now but I am blown away by all the wonderful pins of organizing & crafting ideas out there, but it kinda makes a girl feel a bit like a slacker. Especially this girl. Ironically, though, I've also been inspired to enhance my organization skills so I'm gonna give it a go and try my darndest! There's quite alot to be done so here we go...
First on the list, now that my monkeys have finished their first full week of school, "Command Central". I have vowed not to become a slave to all the papers, dates to remember, lists of things needed, etc. that go along with two very busy kiddos. So I've designated an area in my kitchen to help with this. This particular space has been home to our friend "Chef Baker" whom I painted shortly after we moved in. It was a crafty kind of moment ;)
I think he's kinda cute myself.
Unfortunately, this wall space is the prime area in my kitchen to serve as the family grand central station, if you will. Now, I've placed a shelf with a basket for each girl and various supply things used on different occasions, as well as a bulletin board that holds our calendar & all those fabulous papers  that make our world go 'round. I put a little white board we have up there too, but that may be coming down soon, don't really need it I think. Anyhoo, it's very mismashed at the moment, not very fabulous, but my goal is to get it to be super cute and efficient to fit our needs and help us function as smoothly.as.possible.
So I'm needing some fabulous ideas for cleverly covering up Chef while incorporating the shelf, bulletin board, hook for their school bags, etc. And Pinterest is coming is very handy for lots of fantastic ideas!  But like I said, it's a PROJECT! in process so, fingers crossed, I can git er done relatively soon, but, be patient with a sista, k!
