Stay Organized - Up-cycle and Get a Great Night's Sleep!

From Payne to Gain Organizing is presenting a daily tip in January - Get Organized Month. Follow full blog at www.frompaynetogainorganizing.com

Why is it that all those important thoughts, ideas, and things to remember, flood us before bed or keep us awake at night?  One idea I liked was keeping something by the bed to write it down on...Well, because I HATE to go out and buy anything before I re-use something else, this project was created.  I bet you've got some old picture frames sitting around the house and with a quick coat of spray paint and insert of some decorative or plain white paper to fit now you've got a bedside dry erase board to keep notes and the random thought you don't want to forget in the morning.  Add a pretty ribbon and dry erase marker and you are set!  Just wipe off with kleenex and re-use forever! This is one I've made for a friend and I've done a larger one to hang on the wall for my niece.  Trick for larger size/unusual size frames - use wrapping paper cut to fit so there are no visable paper seams under the glass!
