{365}

I've decided to do something different for 2011.
There's a thing called the 365 Project. For the project you take a picture every day for a year. By doing this you document what you've done, seen, or whatever for that year. I thought this sounded pretty cool so on January First I started taking pictures. Now I'm definitely not a Professional Photographer so these pictures aren't meant to be amazing. Each picture I take will represent what I did that day, what I'm wearing, something I ate, what my surrounding look like, something I think is awesome, ect.
Here are the pictures I've taken for the first 7 days of the New Year.

Day One {January 1}
This is how I started out my new year.....with some medicine and a box of tissues.

Day Two {January 2}
 For some odd reason I've been in an organizing mood. I started out by organizing our Front Room Closet.
It may look a bit squished in there but at least its organized and you don't get bombarded with stuff when you open the door :)

Day Three {January 3}
 My yellow coat came in the mail!!!!! YAY!

Day Four {January 4}
 This is our beautiful Front Door. 

Day Five {January 5}
 I made mini chocolate cakes for the both of us. They were delicious!

Day Six {January 6}
For our wedding one of the ladies in Jakes ward made us some cute knit hot pads. While I was cleaning out the Kitchen I found this heart one and decided to use it as part of our Valentine decor. I think it turned out pretty cute!

Day Seven {January 7}
I made this way cute Earring holder out of an Altoids mint tin!

DIY Earring Tin

I've been needing a place to store my earrings for awhile. Since we don't have extra money for crafts I decided to use some gift cards from our wedding and a mint tin.
It turned out really cute and was quite easy to make.
I've decided to share how to make it!
Lucky you!


Go buy some Altoids and when your done with the mints you can turn it into a cute tin!

 First paint the tin black {or whatever you want peaking through at the corners}
If you want a quick dry I found that hairdryers are quite amazing at getting the paint to dry nice and fast :)

Then trace the lid on the backside of the paper that you are using.

 Also cut strips to fit around the rim of the lid and the base of the tin.

Take the pieces you've cut out and glue them to tin.

After the glue has dried take some cute accessories and glue them on to your tin!

Now you have an adorable tin to hold things in!
