Okay, so I know that I have been a little lacks in blogging lately...I will try and do a better job. I have had a few issues with my health, but hopefully I am on the road to mend. I am finding that lately I have been feeling "expectant." You know, like when a special occasion is coming up and you are just a bit antsy? Well that's how I've been feeling. There isn't a planned special occasion that is on the horizon, I just know that something is coming and that something is good!

I think I am on the verge of a life shift. You know, when your life is about to explode in a huge way. When things start to look up and all good things are attracted to you? I don't what God's plans are exactly, but I do know he has plans for me. Big plans, and I intend to be ready.

I have begun to organize my life a bit more, which I think everyone needs to do. When you keep your surroundings in order your brain seems to fall in line. We all seem to have more than we need and I know for some, that "more" is EVERYWHERE. My place is fairly small but nice and it fits me perfectly but everything can get...better. I have organized my closet recently after being given some visual nudges by Pinterest. My closet came with a single L-shaped wire rack for hanging, but what true fashionista can survive with one hanging rack?

I purchased a rack extender from Bed Bath and Beyond which turned the back of my closet into a double hung rack which I use for tops, jackets and pants. My closet is color coordinated from white to black with all remaining colors sorted in between which makes what I'm looking for that much easier.

I purchased a shower rod with some "s" shaped shower curtain hooks and placed them at the top of my closet on the back wall. This rod an hooks holds my purses with the overflow sorted on the shelf of the double hung rack.. It is one of the ideas I found on Pinterest (which I wholeheartedly claim as one of my best friends). I have mounted two white plastic baskets from the Dollar Store on the left side wall to hold my scarves and belts.

My shoes are stored in individual clear plastic shoe boxes stacked on the floor but I am thinking of installing 4-5 long shelves to hold all the shoes and use the top open shelf to hold my folded jeans and sweaters.

Next up will be the kitchen. I plan to purchase 2 shelves and brackets to create open shelving for my white dishes and some glassware. I guess I should purchase some spackle while I'm at Lowes - just in case I get happy with the hammer.  Til next time, Dolls!
