I can't find my necklace?!

Creating a jewelry board is low costly, fun, and both declutter and serve as wall art.
Since I've moved about two months ago into a new space, I have been trying to get a bit more organized. My room is clean for the first time in years! Seriously, you guys...YEARS! I'm working on being more organized and clean this year. When I see things laying around the house, I actually pick them up. That may sound like no achievement for you, but for me it is. I find that I sleep better in a clean room. One idea low cost idea I cam up with for keeping my jewelry together is getting a cork board ($8 at Walmart). I like that everything is within sight and it compliments my eclectic room. I have to start all over with my pieces since I've lost a lot just laying them around. This board is going to make my life easier! :)

I'm baaaaaack!

First things first: I have so negelected you E-ChicKS! So much has changed since my last post (3 months ago!). Don't worry, I slapped my own hand. Bad, Britt! So I am a college graduate and now preschool teacher. I have moved into a new place. Don't clap just yet (I'm still with mommy). But I'm working on balancing work with keeping my creative outlets. So do you forgive me for being away so long?...I'll take that explainable silence as confirmation of your forgiveness. Moving on shall we...

I've really been wanting some t-strap heelies as a start of a 1940's pinup look I'm trying to achieve. And look what I scored while shopping at TJ Maxx. Of course, they have a bit of a modern twist, but can we say steal at only $35.00?!  Initially, I went in to my favorite store to grab some new bed sheets, which I completely adore by the way. It feels oh-so soft and the price ($9.99, fitted sheet by Ralph Lauren) had me beaming with joy :)  Getting back to the shoes: They would've been purrrrrfect for Vday with the red and pink color block spiced up by the cheetah print. Too bad I was too busy enjoying my Vday curled up in bed sipping wine and eating chocolate to care about shoes! <3
