DIY!

I recently joined Pinterest... wasn't sure I'd ever join or if I'd like it but there are definitely some great advantages! Do-it-yourself tips are huge categories!

I had been looking for a storage solution to the typical bag of bags in my pantry. So I decided to try THIS

Here's what the process looked like....

The supplies... I took the wipes out of the container and put them into a plastic bag (storage issue driving me too crazy to wait! The spatulas were originally to evenly spread glue on the container if I need to but I just ended up putting it on the scrapbook paper (I changed up the supply list a bit from the original but it seems to be working!)


First steps...flatten a bag, fold in half, line up.

starting to line them up.

All the bags ready to be rolled!

Rolling was the hardest part... I had a hard time keeping the air out!

Bags rolled and in the container!

Last step! Decorating :)

Finished product!


And with the rest of the bags (yes....I have A LOT even after recycling some!)
I tried THIS

With this result...I'll definitely makes use of this again!

They're ALIVE!!!

In case you were worried having not heard much about my leafy green roommates, rest assured, they've survived! (at least so far!) Special thanks to the wonderful Amanda who gave me some very valuable tips in caring for the peace lilly! It's grown bigger and stronger because of your expert touch!

It's been a great, productive weekend pulling some organizational touches together. I've definitely loved all the little things that have made my new place homey and very "me".

A new favorite...

Your Love Never Fails
by Jesus Culture

Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails

I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails

Chorus:
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails

Verse 2:
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails

The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails

Bridge:
You make all things work together for my good
