Organizing - How I Love Thee

I have been on an intense organizing-kick for, oh, about 5 months now. And, it's, awesome.  This is our guest bedroom closet that I finally organized this past weekend.  I have been searching high and low for my before-picture and fear it has been deleted forever :(  Let me just say that it is a huge improvement.  The shelf-system is from Elfa, found at The Container Store  The hanging organizer and orange box are from Ikea.  I was able to fit everything from the tool bag to glitter in this bad-boy and could not be prouder.  Happy organizing to all of you out there that understand how good this feels! haha.

2012, Well HELLO!

Phew, now that the holidays are over I feel like I am getting back into the swing of things and taking 2012 head-on.  The last few months I have been in a strange anti-social funk, passing most of my time crafting.  This has been a wonderful and relaxing time, but my old social-craved self is coming back.  This week has been full of coffee and happy hour dates, all of which reminds me of how much I love relationships and sharing life with people.

Work is getting crazy busy!  There was a period when I wasn't sure how my role at Open Air Design would pan out...but as of 2012 it looks like I have a solid job for as far out as I can see!  Cesar landed a huge camp project at Lake Whitney in Texas that will have us basically designing an entire Christian camp!  I am so excited to be working and learning a lot, every day, all day.  Its also an incredible thing that I get to use architecture in MINISTRY!!  This is such a unique outlet that most days I can't even believe how perfect it is.
