Thoughts and Things - This week...Office Storage on a dime, Hibernate? & Hero/Dad!


I like using conventional items in an unconventional way, and always enjoy finding new ways to do so.  These great Better Homes and Gardens organizing ideas, offer many ways to do just that.  Take a look at one of the cute ideas I used for making a pen and pencil holder using a tin can.  But, what I liked best about it is being able to change the look, quickly and inexpensively, when ever I want to change my desk decor or even to make it fun for the holidays too.



In keeping with my winter decor, I simply wrapped a tin can with white paper and gold ribbons. 

Such  a cute idea and endless possibilities to custom make to match any decor.  And to me it's a plus that it's a recycle project too.  I like the coordinating paper on these holders above, and those were mounted to the wall via pan-head screws.  There are many more ideas you can find and use for your home office, just visit this link to Home Office Storage on a Dime at bhg.com to see for yourself.









We are still in the grips of winter around here with snow and ice in our forecast!  {This glimpse at the weather shows 15 degrees, feels like 1, and the sunny part almost seems like a joke...but I'm not laughing!}  I haven't seen felt it that cold here in a while!   I think Hibernation is the word of the day for this photo!

On Tuesday a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY of a day wished to my Dad.
He was my first hero and first love.  The first guy I looked up to.
We are separated by a state line and a few hundred miles so I send gifts, much love, 
many hugs and kisses, happy smiles and wishes for him to have a wonderful day!
So glad modern technology helps keep us closer than the miles that separate us!
Love you much Pops! :)
