Before I had kids I was a bit of a perfectionist. I had a spotless house. I mean I vacuumed my furniture every week Seriously Who Does that? Well After having 4 kids in the last 6 years I just do what I can to keep the house somewhat clean. Usually things just get shoved in random places. It makes me crazy!!!
My mom took my oldest three kids for about an hour on Saturday and the baby took a nap so I got to work on an organization nightmare. The Craft/school cabinet. So here is a before picture. This counter is nicknamed the messy cabinet by my kids. I am working on keeping it cleaner but everything seems to get piled there. Eventually I will get things organized. ( That's what I keep telling myself anyway)

| Before=Disaster! But I didnt have anything to organize with so I had to be resourceful so here is what I did! |
 |
| Cut the top of an old cereal box and used the bottom part |
 |
| Covered it in paper and packing tape, classy right? Not really but it is what I had and it works! I am hoping the tape will make it easy to wipe off when little hands get food on it. IT now holds crayons and pencils. |
 |
| Yogurt container ( sorry for the blurry picture) |
 |
| Again paper and tape! this one is messy but it works. :) It is now the home to various pairs of scissors. ( lot of scrap booking scissors here) |
 |
| and Finally the finished product! Notice the emptiness of the left side? That is our school cabinet which I cleaned out and it is happily waiting for next years books to arrive! |
