Blog Organized

I just couldn't be on an organizing spree and not spend time organizing the place that I spend the most time... this blog!  Since I started this blog I have learned a LOT of computer techy things.  I thought I was pretty computer literate; but there is a BIG difference between computer literate and HTML literate.  I still can not write HTML, but I can now understand it... enough!  

I love it when I land on a site and it is easy to navigate.  Whether it is a store's website or another blog, I like to be able to find something I am looking for fast, or be able to discover new things on the website.  I hope Living Savvy can be both of these things.  I discovered this new link manager and it has made me so excited!  I spent some time cleaning up and streamlining a few of my pages to find my tutorials.

 Under my tutorials link you can find all of my tutorials by category.  I hope to add a seasonal section and also a holiday section very soon!  But for right now, these are only my how tos... not all of my projects. 

I also updated all of the guest posts from Spray Painters Anonymous.  This system is so easy and will help me be able to keep it up to date on a weekly basis!

Hopefully I will this crazy organizing bug will still be biting and I can get my Features page and Portfolio page under control!

What do you think of the new layout?  Easy to use?  Are the pics big enough?

This organizing tip brought to you by Directions Not Included

Hi there Savvy Readers! I'm Anna from Directions Not Included. I'm so glad to be back here to share some organization tips with you. Tiffany had such a great idea getting everyone together for this. There have been some great tips that I will definitely be implementing in my home soon. 


As I was setting up my craft room over the past year, I found that sometimes using items not intended for your specific storage needs end up being the best solution. I found this particularly useful for items I wanted out for display but still needed to be organized and neat. 


This little corner of my desk has two of my favorites on either side of my bulletin board -  a picture ledge used to hold my glitter and twine and a metallic spice container system for all my little embellishments for paper crafts. Picture ledges and spice containers are not exactly found in the office organization section but that doesn't mean they can't be put to use in here.  Everything is contained and within easy reach which makes crafting that much easier...and neater.

Lazy susans are becoming another favorite for me in all areas of the house. This one is actually labeled for spice storage in your kitchen cabinets but it is also the perfect size for my stash of craft paints. If it looks pretty, it means you are not a hoarder, right?

And another tidbit for you. If you can't find something that works for your space (whether is it intended for its use or not) sometimes you just need to make it or decorate it to keep your items organized in the way you want. On these shelves, I have some ribbon holders I made using dowels to keep my ribbon under control but easy to access because I couldn't find anything standard that worked. I also spruced up my magazine holders and thread display stand so they would go with my space. Nothing that a little spray paint or craft paint can't fix, right? ;)

I hope you found these ideas helpful! I'm so glad we can all tackle spring now a bit more organized. Thanks again, Tiffany!





Such great ideas!  I am loving your spice containers and open shelving!  And you know me... I love a good lazy susan!
