Sanity Saving To-Do List Clipboard. Opposite Day – Picture Frame Makeover Tutorial | cheltenhamroad. I am not a “beach person.” In all honesty I’m not sure I’ve been to the beach since I moved to LA. I mean, I’ve walked by it, sure but I haven’t actually tossed a towel down or made a sand castle or anything – it’s just not my scene. But apparently the Patchwork show tomorrow in Long Beach has put me in a fully beach state of mind and has lead to Opposite Day. So, I was rummaging around in the thrift store looking for frames to use for my magnetic chalkboards when I came across this frame It’s a nice frame but the minute I saw it I knew exactly what I wanted to do and it involved the beach – which seemed odd but who am I to argue with sudden flashes of vision?

And is that actually part of my job now!?”
And file it under “directions I never imagined my life would go.” Which is not, in any way, meant as a complaint. I just continue to be amazed. Anyway, my friend Sarah likes to be organized. Super organized (she and Phebe would get along famously) and a while ago she asked me if I would make her some color coordinated, decorative binder clips. She wanted a way to easily identify the stacks of paper on her desk. I hadn’t shared these before because, honestly, I wanted to see if they held up to day in/day out use. But Sarah reports that they have held up very well! It’s incredibly easy to do. You just need: Binder Clips (Small, Medium and Large)Paper of your choiceMod Podge (I used regular MP for Sarah’s but the Outdoor version would be even more durable)Foam BrushCraft KnifeStyrofoam block or flower foam.

Adventures in Organizing | Intentional Adventures. * Our Command Center had been updated again, Summer 2013. Click here to see. After 31 Days of Adventure the Sharpteam has been finding some new rhythm and balance in their days.
We have found some particular rhythms that work for us. We write up a menu monthly, so that we only have to think about what we are having for dinner once. We sit down together annually, monthly, and weekly to talk about goals. So when we moved here we bought a couple of dry erase boards and wrote our goals out together monthly and weekly. This summer I decided to change it up, and make it more of a gallery wall feel. We were going to post about this “transformation” but the more we lived with it, the less we liked it. So this past weekend, we re-did the look again. I have been looking at this wall from pottery barn for a while . . . We were not as interested in the price tag for each of the pieces. Here is what everything is . . . Here is a little detail that I like . . . Here is the evolution . . .
