You May Not Have Thought Of…Silver Sharpie Labeling
So my goals. I believe this is going to be an on-going list. Some of my goals I will be talking about each day through each day’s subject, so that helps in challenging myself to progress in them. Each of these goals will take being intentional – the overall thing I want to work on…
photo source Choosing to do without, may seem like we would be missing out on something because we don’t HAVE something. Our culture is fulled with a constant influx of ideas on how to have more and MORE. More is the answer to having a successful and happy life – according to our culture’s standards….
When you think of the word “limit”, what do you think of? Doing without something? Going as far or as fast as you can without breaking the limit? Do you view limits as something TO break? Limiting in our culture is often seen as a negative thing. We consume ourselves with getting the latest and…
I recently talked about my fool-proof way to never forget to buy, do, or go to something – and it’s all in a sticky note. Well what else do I use a sticky note for? Not only for daily reminders, but to maximize my days. I am a do-er. If I can cross something off…
I have been wanting to reupholster our chairs, but haven’t had the time to do it. When we first bought our table from an acquaintance of our realtor, the fabric was rather hideous. So we reupholstered them right away. After 5 years of use, with a LOT spilled on them, I decided it was time…
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I struggle with the start of a new year. So much anticipation, so much pressure to set the “right” goals and really, to even set goals in and of themselves. And then to start off the year somehow… Perfect. Do you ever feel that way? I know I…

That is awesome that you even labeled a chair – well, now you know where it is and no one can discreetly steal it! Love it and thanks for sharing!
This is genius. Thanks for the great tip! I took the advice and just silver sharpied my spices. Woot! Oh my goodness, this will save time and make it easy for everyone to see what they want. Great tip!!
Thank you! I am glad that you have been able to put this to use – it has made a HUGE difference in our home and it sounds like yours too 🙂
I really want to share how I do my spices, but it's sort of hard to explain. I'll give it a shot, and if you like the idea, I'll forward pix.
We took some trim 1/2"x2" and cut it to just under the width of a cabinet door. My sweetheart mounted them on the door with 1/2"x1/2" brackets. About an inch above the ends of each mounted piece of trim, he put a 2" metal bracket. Then we strung strong wire through the holes on the brackets, making a line between the two brackets just under an inch from the top of each piece of wood. That made a little retainer to hold the little plastic containers of spices–in alphabetical order. Make sense? I keep any extra amounts of each spice in the back of a bottom drawer, where nothing else ever goes. Works for us!
Hi Mary :). I would LOVE to see pictures of this! Even detailed pics of the basics to the finished product? I see a guest post coming soon ;)???? This sounds like a GREAT idea and a DIY project, which makes this even better! Let me know your thoughts 🙂
My Awesome Wonderful and I are traveling, and I'm just catching up with my posts. When we get back home, I'll do this very thing. Many who have seen this project have replicated it. So, yes, I'd love to help your other friends.
Awesome! Thank you Mary 🙂
