It's January! So I've been organizing like a maniac. It feels GOOD. Cleaning, moving stuff around (sometimes to make things more efficient, and sometimes just for change), getting rid of stuff we don't use. Once that Christmas tree comes down, I just zoom right into spring mode and want to freshen and lighten everything up every year.
The small canning jars are great for storage. They hold business cards exactly right. And chalk, and cords, and glitter, and baker's twine, and ... I still haven't finished filling them up yet. (It's been a work-in-progress for a couple years, because I'm particular. And I forget about it. Ha.) I got a gift certificate to French General for Christmas, and think I will find some more good cubby items there. :)
The small latte bowls are great office-supply storage, too: the green one holds thumbtacks and my flash drive. :)

In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
