{Weekend} a day late

Did anyone else feel like this yesterday? Rock just wanted to tuck his head under and go back to bed, which was exactly how I felt! Especially when I got into my car and the whole screen with controls and navigation was black :( Dora is headed back to the dealership today, and hopefully they will get that fixed.

We had a wonderful weekend! It was nice to be at home and get a little organized and catch up on laundry, until we ran out of detergent....oops! My life is back to normal again, or at least my normal. It is organized and slowly by slowly getting more organized and doing the little things I have wanted to for the past 8 months! :) 

First things first: we built our wine and liquor shelves! They turned out great if I do say so myself!

1- Find a pallet

2- Cut the pallet to look like the picture above. We measured 13 inches from the bottom

3- place a 1x4 (I think) on the bottom for the base

and woo-laa there you have a wine shelf. We hung them with hercules hooks!

The liquor shelf we kind of came up with on our own, and was a little more difficult. Once you have cut the pallet you must get off the front board, and that my friends is not an easy task. But no worries, we got it! Once the front is off you either take off another board from the pallet or find a 1x6 and place on bottom to hold the liquor! This one has no front so the liquor bottles will fit! 

The tearing away of the pallet--not easy

I also made our inside pups name plates for their prospective eating area~ They turned out cute!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I know we did! I have now completed day 4 of insanity, and am on day 5 today! I have a hectic schedule and life, so I printed off the calendar and am marking off the days as I go, I took my day off on Sunday, so I have 5 more days until my next day off. I am really enjoying it, and how it makes me feel! And yet again, we have a very busy week, but I will keep getting my workouts done! :) 

Happy Tuesday!

Organization

Organization is something I like to live by, but do not always do so all the time! My husby cracks up at me, because I get random spells where I see something messy, and have to fix it RIGHT AWAY! For reals though, I do.  For example, I am leaving to go to work and notice all the mail on the bar, which drives me cray, and I go through it all....trash the old meaningless, and go to our desk-the catch all be all- and organize it and throw things away and put things away...all this at 6:15 in the a.m. Cray- I know.

Which has now landed me into my new project idea and pinterest inspirations. Next weekend we are home, so my goal is to organize the whole desk area, get a calendar up for the upcoming hunting and football season, and get something for mail and bills! I have been researching pinterest and google for ideas and have come across a few! I am thinking I am going to go to Wal-Mart, and Hometown Crafts (our small town version of Hobby Lobby), and maybe a thrift store or two and see what I can throw together for this little project. I am thinking one Dry Erase calendar, a cork board, dry erase weekly calendar, and mail holder along with a year calendar, because everyone knows Josh and I need every month near by!! :) We have the perfect area to have this! I will post before and after pictures once completed, unless it is an epic fail and I hate it and give up- which is a possibility!!

So below are my inspirations and where I plan to start. Tonight is part 1 of the process- going through the desk and cleaning and seeing what all I need! Then next week begin shopping for my supplies! 

This link below has a cute idea also

Wish me luck that I don't give up and finish this project!
