Happy Tuesday! I hope that you all had a restful MLK weekend. I continued my half marathon training and ran 8 miles, ordered this new rug from Flor, spent all of yesterday happily doing absolutely nothing with Dave, and started a much needed and very tedious project of organzing my socks. Somehow I've managed to collect a drawer full of mismatched socks and it had gotten far too out of control, so in light of this week's theme Our Very Favorite Organization Tips, I thought that I would finally kick my butt into gear and handle the situation.
To kick of this week's theme, we have the lovely Michelle Hainer here to show us how to organize and display our favorite memories.
Enjoy!

I am in love with stationery of all kinds and have so much fun picking it out for various events and milestones. It seems a shame to just shove it in a drawer or gasp! throw it out once the event is over, so I make shadow boxes to display paper products and hang them on the wall. I've done them for my bridal and baby showers, wedding, and my son's cards and invitations. It is so easy to do and the finished product makes a great conversation piece for guests!
DIY Shadow Box
by Michelle Hainer
What you need:
- A large photo box or shadow box frame (it doesn't matter whether it has a door that opens, or whether its set up like a deep frame)
- A hot glue gun or pins (if you are including favors, such as matchboxes, you will need to glue them onto the board)
What you do:
Arrange the stationery and favors as you like and then either pin them onto the board of the shadow box or hot glue them into place. Replace the glass and hang.
