Use It Or Lose It - Declutter and Get Organized

My husband had to work today, boohoo!  

But it does give me a day to blog, 

organize and plan my first month of 

the year!  A really good thing.

I wrote a post a few month back

Organizing One Room At A Time.

 My motto for the year is to continue

 organizing one room at a time and 

to save money(who doesn't want to save) 

by using what I have. I've been a crafter, 

sewer, baker, and quilter for many years.  

Therefore, I have many things in 

my kitchen cabinets, in my fabric 

and crafting stash that may not be 

of use to me any more.  

But, I also have many things that I 

know I can put into good use in 2015. 

Having more isn't alway best, but 

it can help me to

 save and spend a little on things I need 

to finish up a project.

Furthermore, its time to declutter and

reorganize areas of my life, areas in 

my home, and become more productive

 with my time. Decluttering

has always been a challenge for 

me. As I tend to get rid of 

stuff at a slow pace.  I have to 

realize that giving things away 

will benefit others, selling a 

few things will put money in my pocket,

 and tossing those unuseful 

items will either allow me to 

 replace it with something new 

or simply free up some 

needed space.

I challenge all of you to 

grab my button, 

Use It Or Lose!!! 

Free yourself from clutter.

  Let's create!

I know we've heard that saying 
before regarding our weight. This 
is some what different.  Of course, 
you can make a recipe with items in 
your kitchen. 

Let's be creative and (Use It) 
use what we have and only 
purchase items we need to finish 

up our projects. 

                                                             

It's been a desire of mine to make 
it a normal thing for me to do. 
I thought, I can't be the only one 
with that desire.  I hope you all 
will join me on this new venture, 
Use It Or Lose It!

I hope to have a linky button so that 
we can link up those fabulous 
Use It Or Lose It projects/items 

we've decided to keep, give away or 
toss.  My first linky party will be 
February 1, 2015 and hopefully 

continue on the first of every month!

But in January, I will start 
to organize my 

Living Room/Dining Room area 
(it's one room) at a time!  
Come join the party!!!

Please leave me a comment 
if you're interested!!

 I need all your support and help 
to launch this new 

slogan! Use It Or Lose It!!

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new 
creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

   

DIY-Painted Family Tree

For sometime now I've been wanting to paint a tree in the hall way of my house.  I finally got the nerve to do it.  

I simply used acrylic paints, and it actually turned out really nice.  The pictures you see in the photos are a few of the  ones  I had hanging before the tree.   

                       




If you want to paint a tree, have no fear!  It's only paint and you can paint over it!

First, look on line to get a feel of what type of tree you want.

Second, decide where you want to paint your tree.  Do you want to paint the tree in the center of the wall, to the right, or to the left; how big, or small, etc. Also, what room of the house you want the tree in.  I have a girlfriend who wants to paint one in her daughter's room.

Then pencil an outline of your tree onto the wall.  I drew my tree on the left side of the wall.  I used a ruler to draw the  trunk of the tree just to make sure it was straight.

Third,  paint  the tree with two different colors of brown paint.  It didn't take much paint which I was really surprised.  I found I had to dip the tip of my brush with some water to smooth it out on the wall.  My tree is very simply.  It dried fairly quick. 

                            


                                         




 Paint your leaves and hang your pictures!!
                 


I'm in love with my wall.  Who knows I just might paint a few more leaves and branches on the right side of the same wall.  

Hope you will give this idea a try and if you do, please post your pictures of your wall!  I would love to see them.  Because I really do love trees.

He Has Made Everything Beautiful In Its Time.
