Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Today's organization inspiration...makeup.
My makeup is the last thing I do before I run out of the door in the morning.
The more visible it all is, the better (and quicker I get out of the house).
And if I can't see it, I won't use it (what a waste).
In my vanity, I have everything laid out in the order of application.

Organization...makes mornings easy.

Vintage bottles

I love vintage bottles. My husband and I rescued
these as they were on their way to the dump.

Maybe old dogs can learn new tricks...

My husband and I decided that we would make a list of things that we want to accomplish this year. A few things we decided on were:
learn to play an instrument
learn a new language
start running
learn to draw
We are on our way! My parents (my father is a brilliant musician) bought us both instruments; for my husband a guitar, for me a ukulele. While we have not mastered them, I am proud to say we have learned a number of chords and a few songs. And it's so fun! As an art student, my husband has quickly learned to draw quite well. This is my first attempt. I have painted random, abstract things before, but never have I tried to "draw". I can't take credit for the originality, as I saw this on a piece of stationery.
