Today, I felt the need to be a lil crafty. Kaitlyn was asleep for her afternoon nap when I was cleaning up our little room. I was putting our socks away when I got the idea.
I have 2 of these bins underneath my bed. I use them for mine and Kaitlyn’s socks. I get them confused all the time when I’m in a hurry trying to get socks for us.

So, I had the brilliant idea of labeling these bins. I had chipboard letters. I was gonna put them on the bin. so I got them out, and the hot glue gun, but I had no hot glue. DAMN! So, I had these stickers that I had used for a different project last year.

This is what I came up with:

Cute, HUH?

So, I thought if Im gonna do my sock bin, I might as well do my daughter’s.

So what do we think? I know it’s small but at least I got it organized. Not exactly what I wanted but at least it’s something.

IPOD carrier

So as I was browsing thru my "CRAFT" sites ( as I like to call them), I came across this cute contraption for my IPOD. Over @ LauraBray. It is just so cute.

This would be perfect for me when I actually go to the gym. There have been times that Ive had my ipod fly off the treadmill. I have battle scars on it now.
