Family Command Center Project

So another inspiration idea from Pinterest....

I decided to put together a family command center - with storage cubes (Mostly because I'm so tired of all the shoes all over the floor ( i trip over all of them)...   And bags - stuff etc... So I made this geared to having 1 cube for everyone in the family - including the dogs...

Got the wooden boxes from Michaels - I used the 40% off coupon went in 1 every day so by the weekend I was ready to go....   

Then I painted them with Liquitex Spray Paint - I love love love this paint...  It goes on so smooth - and covers really well..  I also got it when it was on sale at Michaels.

Then I mounted them on the wall.   Top cubes are for me and my husband.

Middle 2 are for my daughter and son.

Bottom 2 are for my other son - and the dogs....

Shoes fit perfect..  Pocket books - books - school supplies - dog coats...

Then - I put the bulletin board - and canvas organizers - and metal paper sorters - and this is all next to the door so everyone sees it...  This has worked amazing.

Above is the kitchen table and our photos... and 1 of the pieces of artwork I have done on display.

November 2012 Journaling

So since this Blog is new - I decided to just add a grouping of my journaling that I have done for the month of November.  This was the first time I have ever done anything like this before.  After finding it on pinterest.com - I feel in love.

I hope you enjoy.

 This was my first one ever...

Decided to do something about our family names.

One for my daughter who learned out to surf this past summer at the Jersey Shore.

A page that I did about having faith - and keeping the faith.

Used a whole bunch of techniques that I had look at on Youtube.
