Organizing with Pinterest


I love to organize! I organize everything and I label everything. My husband says that soon I will put a label on him. My daughter is 3 years old and she has been painting for the last 6 to 7 months. I didn't have a great area for her to do this when she started out. It was an old rubbermaid box with a towel on it. She didn't mind because she loves to paint. Soon her birthday came and people bought her markers, paints, and books to color and paint in. I felt that I was running out of room and that my living room was becoming unorganized. I know that it was just me but it was getting on my last nerve! My husband (who is completely ADD and I am OCD) finally fixed the table that she was going to paint on (instead of the rubbermaid box). So once it looked like she actually had her own place to be an artist I went looking on pinterest to find a way to organize all of her materials. This is what I found. It is so simple and she loves it! My mom gave me the lazy susan and I really didn't like it so I found a fabric quarter that I liked and my daughter did too (her favorite color is pink). I hot glued the fabric to the lazy susan. Then I took magnets and hot glued them to the fabric. I bought 5 buckets from Target's dollar spot and set them on the magents. That was it!! I placed her supplies in the buckets and she was off making new masterpieces! So simple and amazing! Thanks pinterest! The next thing I am going to do is label them so it helps her learn how to read.
