I dedicate this post to Monica Coates, who showed me pinterest.com. The website inspired me not just to look into decorating styles for Kendra's bedroom, but doing so many different crafts & organizing my house. So since I happened to have a four day weekend, we rearranged the bedrooms, and in doing so we completely vacuumed every inch of all three kids' rooms. We organized closets, including ours! Everyone got a complete dusting from fans to window sills. I know spring has long gone, and we are soon heading into fall (even though it's still 110 degrees outside) but we finally did the spring cleaning and even donated 2 1/2 huge black garbage bags!
I also started in on some craft projects as well. The dollar store is amazing and I bought a ton of bins for Robbie's room. I also tried my hand at making my own apothecary jars. I love them to decorate with, and they are beautiful to fill during parties, yet so expensive. I thought I was so thrifty at finding them at Ross and Marshalls for $6-$15, but pinterest.com showed me that I could make my own for just a few $! Here's a pic of my Dollar store finds. Tons of bins, my jars, small plastic bins to organize a drawer, and I couldn't pass up on nail polish stripers. 
I bought some small jars at the dollar store, but then I went to the Goodwill and hit the jackpot! With a creative eye (my husbands), I put small wine glasses upside down as lids for the jars. Now I have large jars too! I bought 5 jars with lids for $10! Now I can't wait for a party so I can show it off.
The finished project-all decorated!
