Bottle Cap Magnets

Yay for Friday! :) I hope you all had a wonderful week! I wanted to share a quick and affordable gift idea that was a huge hit for Christmas, but would make a fantastic gift for Valentine's Day too.

I saw these first over at Lemon Tree Creations and thought they would be the perfect gift for grandparents and aunts and uncles!

I followed Tiffany's easy tutorial and found the cute, little tins at Wal-Mart. They even had bows already on them. Everyone thought they were the cutest and I couldn't resist making a set for me too.

I ended up buying a few more tins at Wal-Mart after Christmas because I love this idea. I also found some non-Christmasy ones at Hobby Lobby on clearance a few days ago. Hmm...what else can I put on bottle caps? :)

I think any grandparent would love a set of these with all their grandkiddos on them for Valentine's Day, don't you think?

Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be linking up to these fantastic parties! :)

Sutch an Inspiration

Hi there! I hope all is well and that the new year is treating you right! I've been an organizing crazy lady these past two days. My office/craft room was on the verge of getting me a one way ticket on an episode of Hoarders so I've been moving all of my crafty stuff into bins and they are getting their own home (YAY for a whole room for crafting) upstairs...after I organize and declutter the "storage room." :)

Needless to say, organizing has been on my mind and these are a few ladies that have inspired me to get it in gear for the new year! :)

I'm in awe of Toni over at A Bowl Full of Lemons! She has only been blogging for a few, short months and already has a ton of organization inspiration! She is currently hosting a Getting Organized Challenge with link ups everyday.

Not only is Jen's blog, I Heart Organizing, insanely adorable, it's chock full of organizing tips! Jen makes organizing easy and attractive! I love this recap of 2010 post!

I'm thrilled that I found DaNita over at Delightful Order! If one of your new year's resolutions is to help your family stay organized, then you will love this homework bulletin board!

Megan from Honey We're Home is hosting a two week organizing extravaganza! Some of her favorite blogland friends are sharing their secrets for organizing. You'll be inspired to organize your whole home at the end of this event!

Ladies, thank you so much for all of the ideas and inspiration! Now I'm off to go sort something. :)

Hi, Sweet Friends! I hope 2011 is treating you well so far! :) How about we start off the year with something fun...like a giveaway? Please give a huge Crafts & Sutch welcome to Say it on the Wall!

If organizing was on your resolution list then you should give these a try: a dry erase calendar to keep your schedule organized, labels to organize your pantry, kitchen, or craft area, or a weekly menu planner.

If focusing on your family was on your resolution list then you take a look at these: a family established sign, the definition of family, a home is made of love tile, or a family saying to cap a picture wall.

If getting in shape was one of your resolutions then how about one of these on the wall in front of your treadmill to keep you motivated:
