This has been a 6 month labor of love. Still waiting on the fridge and a few final touches, but this kitchen is finished!

If you are trying to come up with label making solutions without investing in a Cricut or Silhouette, you might try out the Gyro Cut cutting tool. Just trace and cut. This works great on vinyl, fabric, and paper.

Sorting through clutter is an arduous task. Most every item we touch has a story, which can make letting go seem impossible. So, what can we do as professional organizers when our clients aren’t ready to say goodbye?

Look for creative ways to incorporate your client’s treasured keepsakes into their daily life. Perhaps an imaginative tablescape or gallery wall. When sorting through heirlooms, children’s artwork, and mementos from family travels, lean toward pieces that have classic shapes and lines and don’t forget to add a few unusual or unexpected pieces to add interest.

Don’t let indecision stymie progress. If your clients are not ready to let go of their cherished possessions, don’t fret. From the clutter, there can be beauty!

I would like to thank Jennifer Griffin of Dimples and Tangles for letting me use her photo to illustrate how to showcase treasured keepsakes in any setting. To see more of Jennifer’s inspiring work, you can visit her blog at https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/

If you are looking for a flavor packed, easy to make meal, grilled shrimp tacos are the way to go. I picked up these succulent, fresh caught shrimp at Earp's Seafood Market in Raleigh.

There is nothing better to beat the heat than a fresh summer salad with strawberries. All items were purchased at the NC State Farmer's Market.
