i need a little organization in my life

thanks to an idea i got from my sister in law several years ago i finally decided to organize my growing pile of jewelry.
i have so many necklaces, earrings and bracelets that i never wear and it drives me nuts.
because of that i don't like to buy new jewelry since i don't wear the jewelry that i already have. not only do i not wear it, but i hardly even know what jewelry i have.


a couple of years ago, when i was at my brother and sister in laws house i saw her unique way of hanging her jewelry so she could see it all at one time and not have it getting all tangled in a pile.
today i had had enough! i first started by cleaning the messy shelf in my bathroom, where everything kind of just gets thrown. i then took on the task of organizing my jewelry.

i first had to get out eric's electric drill and put in a couple of screws in our bathroom wall. i next took a piece of twine, doubled up, and tied each end to one of the screws. the next step was to wade through all my jewelry, untangle a few pieces and hang the earrings on the top piece of twine and the necklaces on the bottom piece. I was so excited to finally be able to see all of my jewelry at the same time...time to accessorize!

Now for the next project...cleaning out my closet...better go get busy!
