  2. I had a jewelry box I wasn’t using and could never figure out what to put in it because it had a divider that most items wouldn’t fit into. One day I decided to see if I could get the divider out and it was actually very easy. So, I had a box with no dividers that I could now use for many things, but decided I could also use the divider (all one piece) if I put it up on my wall as a small shelf sort of like a shadow box. It has worked great to put my mini misters on, small glitter bottles, perfect pearls jars and some small jars of embossing powders. It actually freed up several other smaller containers and all those things are within easy reach and reminds me to use them.

  8. I love shoe bags and stacking shelves that hang off closet rods. My craft area has an immovable pipe on the ceiling that hang the shelves off of and I just tacked the shoe bags onto the walls. They hold a lot!

  11. Today I did a post on my blog Stashmanicure.blogspot.com that shows an inexpensive way of organizing your fabric. I am not sure if that is what you are looking for, but you may want to check it out.
    There are also a lot of others that have contributed their ideas in earlier post.
    I set my blog up four months ago with the idea of having myself and others share ways to manicure and organize your stash of fabrics that we have on hand and to make room for more of that dreamy stuff we can not get enough of! The idea here is to rule your stash before it rules you! LOL!

Okay so I am updating this post to include my own tips for growing succulents.

Choose Soil with TLC: Start by picking the perfect succulent soil. Make it fluffy by mixing in some extra perlite, like giving your plants their favorite comfy blanket.

Pick the Right Pot Pal: When it comes to planters, go for ones that make your heart sing. Just like you’d choose your favorite mug for morning coffee, your succulents deserve the loveliest homes.

Sunshine Buddies: Find a sunny spot that your succulents adore. They’re a bit like sunbathers who love a warm, sunny nook. But remember, they can get sunburned, so keep them out of that intense midday sun.

Turn & Chat: Every now and then, give your succulents a spin. It’s like a little conversation with your green pals. Turning them helps them grow evenly and not become one-sided buddies.

Water Wisely: Succulents are more about quality time than quantity when it comes to watering. Wait until the top inch or so of soil is dry, then shower them with a good soak. But don’t drown them; succulents are all about that ‘sip, don’t gulp’ life.

Mist Magic: Use a misting bottle to give your succulents a little spa day. They adore the moisture in the air, and misting keeps them feeling fresh and fabulous.

Room Service: Make sure your succulents are living the Goldilocks life when it comes to temperature. Not too hot, not too cold—just right!

Fresh Air Vibes: Open a window or get a fan going for some fresh air vibes. Succulents are all about that ‘breeze in my leaves’ feeling.

Fertilize with Love: Just like a pinch of salt in your cooking, give your succulents a diluted, balanced meal during their growing season. But don’t overdo it; they’re not big eaters.

Grooming Time: Your succulents appreciate a little grooming. Remove any brown, shriveled leaves or spent flowers to keep them looking their best.

Eyes on the Lookout: Be a vigilant friend and keep an eye out for pests. If you spot any unwanted guests, it’s time for a pest-removing party.

When in Doubt, Google It: Each succulent is a unique character, so when in doubt, a quick Google search for your plant’s specific needs can be a lifesaver.

Have Patience: Lastly, be patient with your succulents. They’re not in a hurry to grow, and neither should you be. Enjoy the journey together.

Remember, your succulents appreciate the personal touch. Treat them like friends, and they’ll grace your home with their timeless charm and resilience. 

If you’re new to succulent gardening and looking for easy-to-care-for succulents, here are some beginner-friendly options:

Echeveria: Echeverias come in a variety of beautiful rosette shapes and colors. They are resilient and relatively low-maintenance, making them an excellent choice for beginners.

Sedum: Sedums are hardy and adaptable succulents. They come in various shapes and sizes, and many are well-suited to a range of growing conditions.

Kalanchoe: Kalanchoe is known for its vibrant, long-lasting blooms. It’s a forgiving succulent that can thrive in various light conditions.

Haworthia: Haworthias are small, compact succulents with distinctive striped or textured leaves. They are well-suited to indoor environments and require minimal care.

Aloe: Aloe vera is not only easy to grow but also has medicinal properties. It’s a great addition to your succulent collection and can be used to soothe skin irritations.

Crassula: Crassulas, often called “jade plants,” are hardy and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are adaptable and relatively easy to care for.

Gasteria: Gasterias are similar in care to Haworthias. They have unique, tongue-like leaves and thrive in indoor environments.

Sempervivum (Hens and Chicks): Sempervivums are known for their charming rosette shapes. They are hardy and can withstand various conditions.

Senecio (String of Pearls): While not the most common beginner succulent, string of pearls can be easy to grow with the right care. They have unique trailing vines with bead-like leaves.

Agave: Agave plants are low-maintenance and come in various sizes. They require bright light and minimal watering.

Remember that while these succulents are considered easy to grow, they still have specific care requirements. Pay attention to factors such as light, water, and soil quality to ensure your succulents thrive. Additionally
