Nailpolish storage

Mason was on YouTube and saw a small version of a nail polish holder/display , it was easy enough for me to make for her , after all when you have this much polish it is nice to see all you really have.


The perk to having so much nail polish in the house is having plenty of colours to choose from or is that a curse ??

Confined spaces

I spend much of my weekend making the most of my walk in closet ...
I started out without a real plan, I really just wanted to improve the quality of the wall on the right , there were so many holes it resembled cottage cheese , but that is an easy fix ...
I have an "extend it" rod system which doubles my hanging space , it also comes with shelves if you like but I needed more hanging , it is a great solution because it is very flexible and actually hangs off of your exsisting rods , it can be made quite narrow or you can strech it out to its maximum , a quick and easy solution .


I added these three shelves on the fly after some cardio , the saw dust was flying , turns out it is just what I needed for my jeans and comfy pants ...

I am a huge fan of hooks I couldn't live without them , in a pinch they help keeps things tidy , this wall would be otherwise useless , this is a narrow closet but functional for me.


A fresh coat of white paint , new shelves and hooks and a little jigging sure has made a huge difference.


I have some more trim plans for these shelves , don't you love a freshly cleaned closet , I purged I tried on lots of new things that fit again , very full filling project.

Getting dressed is becoming fun again .
Oh and I dragged my two daughters to see Never Say Never 3D so that I could see it, I have always like Justin Bieber thanks to my oldest daughter and seeing him perform in Toronto two summers ago with my girls , he is very talented indeed I can attest to that seeing him perform and play guitar and then all of the sudden she was over him , but I didn't turn on him , I still like him , and now if possible I like that kid even more , LOVED the movie , if you don't get it , the whole Bieber thing go see this movie, you will GET it and you will love him too , you may even catch a little Bieber Fever ...what a kid and I am so impressed with his Mom Patty , well done Patty , its hard not to put yourself in the shoes of a Mom when you watch this , its cute its touching and inspiring too...good clean fun . Oh and I think Mason likes him again , he is hard not to like...

I have been spending much of my time here on my elliptical machine , adding up the miles , I have done as much as 10 miles in one day , so far I have lost 13 pounds , so happy with that , but I seem to be plateauing right now which is entirely annoying , I am sure it will resolve itself soon as long as I stick with it and trust me I am NOT giving up.

I found a better mirror for my dining room on clearance , it's larger and clean lines , it was an incredible bargain and it brings in so much light .
I should have shown you the cake my husband made me for my birthday , didn't he do a great job this is his first cake ever.
Sorry I have been so neglectful of my blog lately I have been very busy working out and I have also now added a part-time job so I have had little extra time to blog , but I am still here , and hopefully I will have some time to tackle some interesting projects around the house to share with you in the spring.
