Christmas Organizaton

With the holiday upon us, I have been poking around at some fun holiday organizational tools.  I thought I would share some of the fun ideas out there.

Great station for your gift wrap!

Here is a great gift wrap station from The Container Store.  I like this because you can roll it away when you are done with your wrapping and hide it in a closet.  At the same time, it keeps everything handy and at your  fingertips so you don’t have to go searching for your supplies!  The cost of this is right around $195 (worth every penny)!

 

The picture on the right is a variation of the rolling cart but at a much affordable price of about $20.  I like  this because it can hang behind a door

This station can hang behind a door!

when it is not in use and is out of sight.  The fact that it houses all of your supplies in one central location is great!  Again, this can be found at The Container Store!

 

This next picture kills two birds with one stone!  It is a mantle greeting card holder.  Not only can you decorate your mantel but it also serves as a great organizer of your holiday cards!  It is on sale right now for $2.99… you can’t beat that price!  You can find it at Solutions.com and if you click here you will go right to it!

 

This last items certainly is not a storage idea, but it is a top product for Solutions and I thought it was too cute to not share!   It is a great monkey hat that will certainly keep you warm during the holidays!  It retails for $29.95!

Happy Holiday Organizing!  Bridges

 

Holiday Cookies…A SECRET!

Bake Now, Freeze For Later!

Do you envy those people who show up to the cookie exchange with an amazing assortment of cookies?  Do you wish you had more time to enjoy these types of events?  Do you not participate because you do not have the time to bake?  Well, I have a secret for you!  If you are planning on going to a cookie exchange, start baking NOW!  Yes, NOW!  The secret is in the freezer…yes, you can bake now and freeze them for later.  No one will know the difference and  you be the envy of everyone else. 

We all have good intentions to attend these great events.  Both for the social aspect of it and the ability to come home with an even bigger assortment of cookies than what you left with!  Seriously, I freeze my cookies all year-long.  Even if I just bake some chocolate chip cookies, I stick them in the freezer so they w ill stay fresher…longer!  People always wonder when I have time to bake because I love showing up randomly with a plate of cookies for someone.  I love to see their face light up and it is really easy on my part…it is already done!  Try it!

Happy Baking!  Bridges
