My Bling-Bling

It's so easy to get to bedtime, stumble upstairs and shove my things in my closet thinking I will actually put them in their place tomorrow. In my house, tomorrow never comes! My closet was proof of that! Bras, new purchases, returns ready to go back, jewelry, an umbrella, and somewhere in that pile is the perfect necklace for my outfit that day, only it's lost in the chaos! I know you all do the same thing, only your chaos may be a little more manageable and not so unsightly. I'm really not a true slob... promise.

With her photos of her organized jewels, My friend, Katie, inspired me to clean up my slobby mess. I like to call it organized chaos-pretty much that refers to everything in this home. Now I can actually find my jewelry stash instead of searching through zippered bags, thumbing through drawers and the big pile of bling to find that one earring I remember buying a couple of years ago. I knew I had a lot of the bling-bling thanks to my Cookie Lee days, but I didn't realize I had this insane much. And 99% of my stash is costume jewelry... nothing to stick your nose up at. But you can never have too much, right? And yes, those are all bracelets on that top display. I think I also have enough earrings and necklaces to outfit a whole runway of girls--actually, I have done that before for a fashion show! My silver displays from my days of selling at the Utah County Fair sure came in handy when I organized! Need some bling? You know where I am! It's no wonder how my girls got so girly.
