I found this cute "Happy Birthday" sign in the scrapbook section of Hobby Lobby, added some Glamour Dust (any craft store) and mounted it on red cardstock.

Earlier this week, I took you on a tour of our brand new Master Closet.

However, after hearing feedback from many of you, I decided that accessories should be the next post in this series. I think accessories are like food storage containers — they magically multiply without your knowledge – and before you know it, they’re everywhere! If you feel like your accessories are taking over your closet, bedroom, bathroom, etc. Then let me give you a few tips to keep them organized — and show you how we keep our accessories organized.

Jewelry: I keep my bracelets in an old star ice-mold that sits on the top of my dresser. Similarly, I keep all my earrings and rings in an old muffin tin. I hang all my necklaces on an old ladder — simply by pounding nails into the ladder at differing heights. Cupcake Project: An Experimental Cupcake Blog. Before I started Cupcake Project, I would have told you that I didn’t like frosting. I’ve now learned that what I don’t like is super sugary sweet, artificially-colored, Crisco-based grocery store birthday cake frosting. The frostings on this list are all frostings that I can eat by the spoonful, and with the exception of number 7, they are all really easy to make.
