Happy New Year!

Hey Honeypot! Happy new year! I hope you had a fun and safe New Year's Eve and are ready to make this year even better than the last. I love the start of a new year. I look at it wide eyed. So full of promise and potential. I have fun things planned for this year. So stay tuned.

Did you make any resolutions? I don't really make any hard and fast ones. I like taking life as it comes. But I know a lot of people that say, "This year I'm going to be more organized." I love that one. I would love to be more organized in all aspects of my life, but alas, it doesn't always work that way. However...

How about a fun, quick, easy and CHEAP little organizational thing to start off our new year. I got this from Home Organizing with Alejandra.tv. 

I love lazy susans. I have a couple in my pantry. I think I got them at Bed Bath and Beyond a few years ago. I paid almost $20 a piece. Have you priced them? I have found them online anywhere from $15 to over $200! Well, I'm going to show you how to make one for about $3. What? Yep, $3.

What you'll need:

2 round baking pans (I got mine at Walmart for 88 cents each)

1 bag of marbles ($1 at the Dollar Tree)

First thing you do is empty your marbles into one of the baking pans. Make sure you put enough marbles to cover the bottom but they can all move freely. 

Then place the empty baking pan on top of the marbles. You can see I have lots of spices on my shelf that didn't fit in my spice rack. I really don't like having to unload half my cupboard to find anything. 

I took the items I use the most and started loading up the baking pan.

Now I can find what I need much easier. It spins great and makes the shelf look much neater. See? Easy peasy. It took me less than 5 minutes to do this. It neatened up my cupboard and gave me a sense of accomplishment. But it didn't take up my day.

So if you made "getting organized" one of your resolutions, I hope this helps you out. 

Happy New Year!
