DIY Jewelry Box

May 06, 2013 0 Comments
I was wanting better organization with my jewelry, and this was a simple solution using a medicine cabinet.  There are many styles to pick from, so you can get as fancy as you would like. 
   
The model of medicine cabinet I chose to use.

I selected some cork board, which came with its own sticky pads [or you could simply glue the cork board to the walls of the medicine cabinet]. 

Prepare the cabinet, take measurements for cork board.

You can easily cut out shapes with a box cutter/razor to fill in all areas of the medicine cabinet walls that you want to utilize to hang your jewelry, etc.

Apply sticky pads or glue to walls of cabinet.

And simply stick/glue the cork board to the medicine cabinet walls.

Add shelves to your cabinet.



There are also a number of styles of push pins to customize your jewelry box/cabinet with.  I opted for some wooden push pins, which matched the style and color of the interior of my box/cabinet.  Just move them around to whatever works for your items.  

Easy as can be!

...the time of the singing of birds is come…

May 04, 2013 0 Comments
Every year, since the birth of our daughter in 2011, a ‘little birdie couple’ has built a nest above the screen door on our front porch. This year was no exception. And in the midst of all that is hectic, these birds are a nice distraction, a reminder to slow down and enjoy life in the moment. I do so enjoy watching the Mama and Daddy Birds as they build the nest and subsequently feed and care for their little ones. They work so hard all day long, rain or shine, selflessly caring for their little babies. And all too soon the little baby birds will leave their comfortable nest and make their appearance.


“The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come…” ~Song 2:12a (KJV)
