Monday Organizing

Posted Monday, January 03, 2011

A new year always brings on the strong desire to clean out, de-clutter and organize.

During the month of January, every Monday I'll offer up a few ideas from EtsyKids team members on ways to organize your life, while also making it beautiful with chic handmade items.

This week, the focus is on hair accessories. Oh my goodness, what a cluttered mess they can make! Little girls love their bows, ponies, headbands and clips, but dumped in a drawer it makes it hard to find what your looking for during the morning rush. Check out these chic organizational tools you can put to use immediately!

Handmade Kid-Friendly Gift Wrap (via Oh My! Handmade Goodness)

Posted Tuesday, December 07, 2010

A challenge was issued by me to a few creative and resourceful bloggers to come up with kid-friendly ideas - either in the sense that a child will find it easy and fun to make the gift wrap, or that he/she will enjoy receiving a gift wrapped using the approach that the blogger comes up with. Hop on over to Oh My! Handmade Goodness to see what everyone came up with!



We also have some great news, starting January 2011, EtsyKids will become a monthly contributor over at Oh My! Handmade Goodness - yay! We are all excited and looking forward to sharing great ideas between both blogs!
