Sorry I missed blogging yesterday. I had to study for my GRE exam. I took the test this morning and didn't score high enough on the verbal portion :( bummer. My brain is now like jello. Anyone see the Hulu commericials? I think maybe the GRE is like Hulu and wants to soften the brain tissue before they destroy us! I just hate the fact that I have to take it again!
On another note, I am very excited about Easter. Who doesn't love getting to go shopping for a new dress and shoes...and maybe handbag? I am looking at this really cute blouse on DVF website. I can't afford it but it sure is gorgeous. Guess I'll keep looking...Today's TIDY TIP is for the kitchen. Do you have drawers full of random gadgets that you only use on occasion? (I read this in the Spring 2009 issue of 100 Decorating ideas under $100 page 93.) Use an over the door shoe organizer to store those gadgets for easy find.They suggest you use bright labels on the pocket to add color and fun. TOO CUTE!

Monogram chick has a great giveaway! Check it out.

Also, I am so excited about this blog swap on Country Girl City Life's blog! Check it out!

I am home now and feeling crafty. However, I need to be studying to take my GRE on Friday. Most people would do something to relax after a long day at work...not me. I am a busy bee constantly needing something to do or plan. I like to stay organized so even when I am not crafting I am cleaning.

So, Here is the TIDY TIP for the day. If you are like me, you like to look at magazines for inspiration and sometimes well they begin to pile up and then you have more magazines than you do time to look at them. And just what magazine was that article about "Hostess with the Mostest" or that great looking recipe for artichoke dip? Go through your magazines (all at once or as you have time) and gently tear out the pages that you really like. Group them together by fashion, food, organizing, cleaning, finance tips, and decorating ideas. Then, put these pages into page protector sleeves (you can get 100 of these at Target for $7) then use dividers to separate the pages into the groups listed and put them into a 3- ring binder! Now you have an INSPIRATION BOOK. Decorate and enjoy. It's something you can whip out before your dinner party or before you go shopping! I would love to see yours!

Welcome to my first ever blog. Today's topic: Busy women in an even busier world.
I am a wife, student, employee, and entreprenuer. Also, a dog walker, tutor, friend, member of a Bible study, member of Alumni society, member of...well you get the point. However, none of these things define who I am. They are simply what I do. I stay very busy as many of you do, but how can we keep track of WHO WE ARE. What makes us unique and individual? What words define a person's character not their career? Some of us are even too busy to worry about figuring this out... Stop and smell the perfume of your essence today, not the roses. What kind are you wearing?
