What Would Carrie Organize?!? - Coat Closet/Entryway Pt.1

So I've been meaning for quite some time to organize and clean around the house, but by the time Taylor goes to bed at night, I'm exhausted and I do what I can to keep the house running day to day.  However, I have been neglecting things big time.

Enter Spring Organizing!  Since spring starts officially tomorrow, I plan on spending 15/30 minutes each night after I put T to bed getting small things organized and cleaned up around the house.

Tonight, I did a surface clean in the hallway closet and Hall Tree in the foyer area.

Hall Tree and shoes in the distance!

The Dreaded Closet - Quite the Mess!

Everything pulled out of the closet!  UGG!  
How did all of that fit in there?!?

The closet all clean!  
I want to add some baskets to the top of the closet for odd and end items.
And YES, we have way too many coats!

I had this organizer from when I was a classroom teacher.  
My plan is that each of us will have one basket for shoes we use everyday.  
Right now it has all of Chris and my shoes.....yes we need to go through them.

Basket with reusable bags that we need to start using when we go to the grocery store.

Hall Tree area all clean.

Pull out Drawers.  One drawer has hats/gloves for Chris and I and one has all of T's hats/gloves.

Tomorrow, since Chris will be home later in the evening, I plan on going through all the shoes, coats, hats etc and putting together a bag to wash and take to Goodwill!

Crayon Monogram

Our day care provider just built a new home and moved over the weekend.  We wanted to do something special for her because of all that she does for us.  So I decided it would be nice to make her something for her new home to put in her day care area.  I got the design from a pin on my very favorite new site, Pinterest.  Click here for the original post with design.

To make it yourself all you will need is Approx 2-4 boxes of 24 crayola crayons, 1 piece of scrapbook paper, hot glue gun, and small glue dots (these I used to stick down and form the letter before I hot glued the final copy).  I used a die cut from my stamping supplies for the saying.
In Progress

All Done!

From another angle

Taylor excited to give it to Ms. Karyn
