Measuring Cup/Spoon Hanger
You know when you are rushing to cook something that you should have set at least double the amount of time to cook and you need those measuring spoons that are everywhere in the drawer? I do. I typically dig for them ram-shacking the entire drawer and then trying to close it only to find that the pizza slicer or can opener is now half way hanging out of the drawer... and then some words are usually shared between the drawer and I in the kitchen (yes, dogs typically stare).
I do not want you to think this was my own creative idea, I found SEVERAL examples of this project on pinterest. Some used trim pieces, nails into the cabinet, and even paint stirrers. This is my take on the project...

| Large hooks in the coffee cabinet |

| Notice the 3M tabs? I wanted to cut them off but T said we should keep them in case we ever want to do away with the hooks. |

| The smaller spoons and opener are on the adjoining cabinet with the glasses. |
A Tortoise Home
Remember my love with all the Nate Berkus stuff at Target? Well I finally figured out a place I could put my precious tortoise shell without having to worry if someone or something would knock it off the wall. In less than 3 minutes, it had it's home in the DR above the small yellow cabinet. I didn't realize that the space was so big, I might have to move it one day and hang something with it so it fits in the space better.

A Little bit of Crafting Work
A few weeks ago I painted several small canvases that I plan to use as part of our Christmas decorations this year. I brought them out to finish this week.... here is a teaser...
Started Wrapping Presents!!
I know that I'm weird because I enjoy wrapping presents. Most people wait until the very last minute, but I love to do it early, on my own time, like when I watch DVR'd shows. I have a few odd shaped gifts that I need to find boxes for or a very clever way to wrap them!
Surprise
There is a project that we have wanted to begin for a while now, but we have been putting it off. While I do want to share the projects that I listed a few weeks ago I do want there to be a surprise element when our families come down. I'll tell you this isn't anything huge, but it will take us a few days to complete. This project has to be done before one of the "to do's" could be completed. (I know, bummer)
Have a great Thursday!
