I was so excited when I got the opportunity to use Clipix! It is a great way to collect all of the fantastic things that you find online. I don’t know how many times I go through my history searching for something that I saw somewhere, but of course I didn’t bookmark it. Happens all the time.

A great friend of mine is getting married this fall and with me being so far away from her, it’s been a lot of emailing back and forth going over ideas for the wedding. I am making the programs and the flower girl dresses for her wedding, so there has been a lot of discussions to figure out what her feelings are on certain ideas and looks.

I started on Clipix and immediately set up a “Wedding Ideas” Now I can post ideas on there, and once she signs up to Clipix, I will share it as a Syncboard. This part is really neat because I decide who can clip things for that board. Let’s say she likes the dress that I picked out for the flower girl dress, but wants me to do it in a different color. She can simply find the color or fabric she wants me to use from the site, and clip it to our Syncboard. This way, I can visually see what she is talking about and go directly to that site to order the fabric after she makes that decision. The best part is that they are in real-time. We could be on the phone and get this taken care of in one night! There is even an iPhone App for it so if she is at the store, she can take a picture of something that she likes and show it to me rather than wait until the email finally comes through on my phone to get it! Perfect!

  

Here is the “Wedding Ideas” clip board that I started up. It literally took seconds to get signed up and I started clipping all of the wedding things we have already been talking about on the phone. I cannot wait until she gets signed up so I can show them to her.

The possibilities are endless when thinking of what types of clipboards you can have.

*Shopping-Different clipboards for things you are comparing. You could even put in prices here to see where it is cheapest instead of having a ton of windows or tabs open.

* Recipes

*Gift ideas – great for planning Christmas lists and keeping track of where they are on sale

*Interesting articles to read

*Vacation ideas

*Party planning (favor ideas, decorations, different caterers and bakeries)

*Saving funny videos

*Books you want to read

*Movies you want to see

*Fun activities –great for keeping track of things to do with the kids during the summer

*Restaurants to try

*Redecorating a room (furniture, paint colors – all next to each other to see how it flows together)

* Building a new house

*…and the list goes on and on

You can decide how many different clipboards you want and they are so easy to customize and share with friends and family via Facebook and Twitter.

I encourage you to visit clipix and sign up. I think you will definitely enjoy it. I know I have!

I started the 21 Day Challenge from A Bowl Full of Lemons a few weeks ago, and I did Day 1- Junk Drawer and was so excited. Honestly, I wasn’t prepared for it because I didn’t have places/containers for things to be organized into:)…Now I do!

I secretly was waiting for my husband to have some time off work to help me tackle a couple of the “days”.

Today we went crazy!! Poor guy, his first real day off in what feels like weeks and I woke him up after I dropped off Miss M and bribed him with breakfast and we started tackling the projects.

First, we started in the kitchen. Getting rid of random stuff that had accumulated for no reason. I even found a Barbie still in the package that I bought for my daughter and forgot I had..LOL.. whatever she wasn’t missing it. We have this storage cupboard above our fridge and we started with that which is where the Medicine area is as well. Next was the pots/pan, and Tupperware Cabinet, and finally, the random appliances cupboard. We got a little carried away and did the Spice Cabinet as well which felt great to get done and it looks SOOOOO much better in there!

 Next onto the computer room/dining room. This was ridiculous! My computer desk had just about everything I didn’t need in it. Nail polish, a unopened candy cane courtesy of the little one, some random markers and stickers from her arts and crafts supplies. I was so ready to tackle it head on. I did the Computer Desk which she says only to do the top, but I didn’t stop. He put together a cabinet for me to put our games and books in. It looks so much better all tidied up. I am so happy now!!

Finally, it was on to the craft area, which is what I picked for the “you pick” section of the 21 Day Challenge. My craft area is in the closet. Not the most ideal spot, but it works because we are only renting while we are here in Germany. He put together more cabinets for me..poor guy…and I went crazy organizing it. I just love it now! Makes me want to get in there and sew all day.

This is something I have been dreading for a long time. Tackling the infamous junk drawer. When I signed up for the 21 Day Challenge over at A Bowl Full of Lemons, I was determined to complete it….and then I saw that the junk drawer was day 1….ugh! Well, one this is for sure, it was smart to be done first because it helped me so much!! After seeing what was done in less than 20 minutes, I cannot wait to tackle the rest of the challenges head on.

Here is what the junk drawer looked like before

Don’t judge me!!

I did what she said and put everything in a box and carried it into the living room. One by one, I took things out and either trashed, put them where they belong (hey now, there’s a thought??) or set them aside to go back in the drawer.

It went by really quickly, and before I knew it, I had this:
